The Son of Red

Part 1

"Hello, everyone! This is the final battle of the pokemon league, down to the last pokemon on each side! On this side, the pokemon league champion Lance's final pokemon is…"

Lance said, "Dragonite, I choose you!"

"It's a Dragonite! Lance's final pokemon is a Dragonite! What is the challenger's last pokemon?"

"It's up to you. We've been together since that fateful day when I turned 12!

I choose you…

I choose you…

I…

Ugh…

Cobalt woke up. It was his twelfth birthday. The day that he was supposed to get his first pokemon. Cobalt said," Woo! Today I get the best birthday present ever!" Cobalt went down the stairs. Green saw his mother and father drinking tea.

"Hey, sport!" Cobalt's father, Red, greeted.

"Ready to get a pokemon, sweetie?" his mother Misty asked.

Since she married Red, she had quit the Cerulean City Gym and devoted her entire life to her family and her new career as a swimsuit model. As she was a water type gym leader and had a great body, she was successful. Red wrote a biography about his life and sold it to get rich and famous. As a result, this day was up and coming on the Pallet family calendar.

"Are you sure you're ready, big brother?" Cobalt's sister Mauve asked. She was 5, and she had his poke balls in her hand. "You shouldn't forget these!" She said. "Without these you would be a pokemon failure! Right?"

"Give me those!" Cobalt said jokingly. "When your time comes, you will be able to have some, too. Now, I am off!"

"Bye, son!" Red said.

"Bye, sweetie!" Misty said through tears. "Aww. My little boy is growing up. I still remember the time…

Misty was pregnant at the time with her 3rd child. As she put her hand on her stomach, she invoked,"I felt a kick! I guess your little sibling is rooting for you as well!"

Buh bye, big brother!" Mauve said. "Hope you get a big and strong pokemon!"

"Yes!" Cobalt said." Thank you, Mother! Father! Sister! Little Sibling!," pointing at the embryo.

Cobalt continued on the path to Professor Oak's house, about 3 blocks away. He kept thinking, "I don't care what I get, as long as its my best friend, in the world I must defend…" Cobalt finally got to Professor Oak's house. A picture of a young man with spiky hair entitled "Gary Oak" was on the mantel. Professor Oak said,

"So you are interested in that picture. That was me, as a young boy. I used to be a good friend of a young man named Ash… Anyway, which pokemon do you pick? Char…

Suddenly, a blast destroyed part of the lab, and darkness covered everything Cobalt could see.
