On the night before Gemma's 10th birthday, she had one thing on her mind. What starter Pokemon was she going to choose?
There was the reliable grass type, Treecko
There was the well-known fire type, Torchic
And there was the liekable water type, Mudkip.
She had always adored Treecko's fully evolved form but Blaziken seemed to be the strongest of the three. However, Swampert seemed to be the strongest out of them all. "What will I do?" thought Gemma. "I only have one choice and I'm not going to waste it. Right, I'll go with Treecko!" she said to herself before dozing off.
In the morning, she found that she had slept in. "Oh no!" said Gemma. "Treecko will be gone by now!" She put her slippers and nightie on and rushed down the stairs. Luckily, since she lived in Oldale Town, Littleroot Town was only a hop, skip and a jump away. She arrived at Littleroot only to find two of the three starters gone! One of them was Treecko! The only Pokemon remaining was Torchic, so Gemma picked it and named it Tiki. She took Tiki outside to her new bike, the one that her daddy had got her for her birthday and you know what Tiki did? He barbecued her bike! "TIKI! LOOK WHAT YOU DID!" Shouted Gemma, angrily. All of Littleroot was awake now. Brendan and May came out of their houses. "What's wrong, Gem?" they asked. "My Torchic fried my bike!" wailed Gemma. May rolled her eyes and left. Brendan flew off on his Salamence.
"Mean kids..." sulked Gemma. She took her singed bike back to her cottage in Oldale and parked it at the Poke Mart. She walked over to Route 102 and started walking. Suddenly, she was attacked by wild Wurmple! They were creeping and crawling everywhere. Behind death, bugs were Gemma's biggest phobias. But suddenly, Tiki burned all the bugs away with a new move called Ember. "Ohh, Tiki! You're my hero!" Gemma and Tiki shared a warm embrace and became best friends forever. They got all the gym badges and when Tiki was a Blaziken, they became Pokemon League Champions!
