Note: This story is based loosely on Pokémon Black and White, and mostly based on Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates To Infinity. This is the first web story I have ever written, so expect it to "jump the shark" a little bit.

Chapter I - Oshawott

Unova is an interesting place. I constantly hear about how crazy and awesome it is in the cities, but I've never really left my hometown, Neuvema Town.

I have always loved Pokémon, and I would often befriend the wild Pokémon in my backyard, but my parents thought I was too young to have any of my own, so I've had to wait to become a trainer. I hear my alarm clock ringing and realize that today is the big day. I finally get to obtain my first Pokémon from Professor Juniper!

I hastily put on my clothes, eat some breakfast, and bid my parents farewell. Oh, boy… my mom decides to put on the waterworks again, stating that I'm "still her baby," and she tries to plead me to stay home, to no avail. After my dad calms my mom down, he hands me my bag and tells me, "Have a great journey, Nate, and stay safe." I rush over to Professor Juniper's lab, tripping and spilling my bag along the way.

By the time I get all of my stuff organized, I see the professor waiting outside the lab for me.

"I'm sorry I'm late, Professor Juniper!" I say.

"Don't worry about it," she replies. "Come inside the lab, and I'll let you choose your companion."

We both enter the magnificent lab, and the professor walks over to a desk. It contains three Poké balls, and a Pokédex.

"First off, there's Oshawott, a water type."

I nod as the adorable little thing comes out of its Poké Ball.

"Next, Tepig, a fire type."

It doesn't look to happy to see me.

"And finally, Snivy, a grass type."

It comes out and nods at me approvingly.

"So Nate, Which one will you choose?"

"Hmm… My choice will definitely be betweenOshawott and Snivy, because that Tepig appears to hate me," I remark.

Juniper chuckles, and I finally decide.

"Oshawott!" I exclaim.

As if on cue, the little guy rushes over to me and jumps on my shoulder. I already know that he and I will be great buddies. The professor hands me a Pokédex and tells me,

"This will help you identify the Pokémon you encounter on your journey."

She then gives me six Poké Balls to use for capturing wild Pokémon. I thank Professor Juniper, and leave the lab. As I make my way to the tall grass at the beginning of Route 1, my younger friend Max wishes me luck.

"Thanks!" I reply.

"Next year, it'll be my turn!" he excitedly yells.

I bid Max farewell, and turn towards the grass. "Here we go..." I quietly remark, and step boldly into the tall grass.
