Chapter One
It was an unusual day in Bikini Bottom...Spongebob just purchased sixteen bras for his friend, Sandy and Patrick - well, he was just having a hard time deciding whether he wanted to become a pokemon trainer or not.
"I want to be a pokemon trainer," said Patrick Star proudly. "And I mean it!"
The pink starfish grunted with pride and headed to Spongebob's pineapple house. He knocked several times on the door to emphasize his enthusiasm.
"Open your dang door, Spongeboob!" Patrick exclaimed. He lowered his eyebrows angrily. He was going to become a pokemon trainer. And this was his time to shine! So if Spongebob didn't open that dang door sooner or later, Patrick would have an awful fit.
Suddenly, the door swinged open and a yellow sponge thing stood in place. "Hi, Patrick," he said. "How are you, today?"
"Shut up!!!" yelled Patrick.
"Uh...is something wrong?" questioned Spongebob. He was utterly confused; Patrick never acted this way towards him before.
Patrick Star stared at his friend for a long time. Then: "Of course not, you idiot!!! If there was something wrong, then I wouldn't want to become a pokemon trainer!"
Spongebob sighed heavily and replied, "Patrick, I think you need to see a doctor"
"Why? I'm not sick!" said Patrick. He crossed his arms stubbornly.
"No, I mean a therapist," Spongebob explained. "A therapist is-"
"I know what a therapist is!!" shouted Patrick, waving his arms furiously. "I don't need to go see one. My teeth are fine!"
Spongebob Squarepants, our little yellow friend, slam the door with anger. He couldn't take any more stupid remarks from Patrick. What the heck is a pokemon trainer anyway? he thought.
Spongebob sat in his chair and stared into space. Gary, his pet snail, slithered by to comfort him.
"Oh, Gary! Patrick has gone nuts! What am I to do?!" Spongebob buried his face into his hands and managed a small sob. "I'm so worried," he contiuned. "What if he has an undiscovered fatal disease?"
Gary meowed softly and snuggled against his companion.

Meanwhile with Patrick, the star fish dude started up a path to his destination. And in case you are wondering where his destination was, he wanted to go to Pallet Town. Now of course, Patrick didn't know that the pokemon world could survive underwater. So Patrick had to take a few pit stops to furnish his mind.
Patrick entered a cafe called, 'The Cool Coral'. It was a small, delightful place where music and laughter filled the air. A band was playing while some played poker and other various card games.
The pink star fish looked around in amazement. "Wow, this place is pretty!" He grinned slightly and walked through the cafe, eyeing each beautiful fish girl that strolled by in a sassy manner.
The cafe manager, who looked no older than thirty, was sitting at the front desk with a pin attached to his shirt: Tim.
"Yo, Tim!" exclaimed Patrick. "This cafe rocks!"
Tim the manager smiled in response. "Thanks, I'm glad you like it."
"So...um, I'm hungry. Give me food!" Patrick said.
"First a waitress needs to assign you a table," replied Tim. "Then you can order food from the menu. Have you ever been to a resteraunt, son?"
"I'm not your son," answered Patrick. "But yes. I have been to a resteraunt...I think."
The manager arched an eyebrow at him. Then he turned to the nearest waitress and told her, "Fetch this boy a table and menu"
The waitress nodded in reply. "I'm on it, Tim!"
Patrick stared lovingly at the waitress. "Hey, babe" he said. "Wanna be my girl?"
The waitress gasped in surprise and slapped Patrick on the face. "Coward! I'm dating a zookeeper!"
"I like zoos." Patrick said dumbfounded.
The waitress narrowed her eyes at her new enemy. "Whatever," she answered cooly. "Follow me."
The waitress girl led Patrick all the way in the back of the cafe; only one was table was left for availability. As Patrick took his seat, the waitress gave him a thin menu. Patrick studied the name tag on her shirt: Kimmy.
"Thank you, Kimmy!"
Kimmy rolled her eyes and left Patrick with his menu.
Patrick opened the menu and found a large variety of tasty dishes and other wonderful meals. Just reading the lists made our pink friend drool. After a few seconds, Patrick was finished with deciding his order. His cheesy smile bloomed across his chubby face.
"Kimmy! I'm done with my order!"
A grumpy Kimmy walked up to Patrick's table. She pulled out a notepad and pencil and was ready to take his order. "Ok, what do you want?" she asked. Her droopy eyelids made her even grumpier than usual.
"I want a kelp smoothie and two lemon pies." He answered happily.
Kimmy the waitress wrote down Patrick's order down, sighed, and said, "Is there anything else you would like?"
Patrick shook his head no. "I believe not."
This is the weirdest costumer we ever had. Kimmy thought.
------
Twenty minutes later, Patrick was finished and satifised with his meal. He really did enjoy it...he even enjoyed grumpy Kimmy's company.
"This cafe rocks" he said to no one in particular. He got up, with a full stomach. He marched through the cafe with a cheerful expression on his face. When he was outside the 'The Cool Coral', he had two things on his mind...1 - How was Spongebob? and 2 - How long was it going to take to get to Pallet Town?
Our friend sat down glumly. "Oh, what should I do now?" his misery echoed through Bikini Botton. Then a thought hit him. The bus station! Of course! You could take a bus anywhere you want. It was such a brilliant idea, Patrick hugged himself.
He stood up and started running to the station. It didn't take long to get there. Ten - maybe fifteen minutes. When Patrick got there, instant excitement rushed through his body. This was it.
"This bus station rocks," said Patrick. "It rocks like the cafe."
------------
"I'm sorry, but we don't know any place called, 'Pallet Town'." The bus driver told Patrick.
Patrick's eyes welled up with tears. "But...but..." he sniffed.
"Sorry, son!"
"I'm not your dang son!" Patrick screamed. He picked up a rock and threw it at the driver's head.
"Ouch!" exclaimed the bus driver. "What the heck was that for?"
"HOW DARE YOU TELL ME I'M YOUR SON AND YOU DON'T KNOW WHERE PALLET TOWN IS!" Patrick was very shouty today.
"Look, maybe I can help you. There's this service place around here called, 'Hidden Worlds Discovered'. Maybe that will help your problem." The bus driver explained calmly. He rubbed his forehead, where the rock left a big ugly bruise.
Patrick tapped his chin. "Hmm...ok, I'll go there."
-----
Patrick soon arrived at the Hidden Worlds Discovered. It was a strangely unique service building. People rushed to and fro...it was absoutley hetic.
"Hey, how do I get to Pallet Town?" Patrick asked, walking up to an open area where a middle-aged man was standing.
The middle-aged man replied sternly, "Pallet Town, eh? That's located in the Kanto region of the pokemon universe, am I right?"
It took Patrick a minute or so to transmit the man's message to his brain. When Patrick understood, he nodded his head and said, "Uh-huh. I believe so." Truthfully, he wasn't quite sure, but that wasn't his concern at the moment. All he cared about was getting his first pokemon and starting his journey.
The man checked his watch. Then he looked back at Patrick. "I'm sorry, but the travel portal is still having a few difficulties; the traffic jam will have to go on for another twelve minutes."
Patrick didn't say a word. Disapointed, he headed towards a nearby resting lounge. He sat down on one of the couches and said to himself, "This is going to take forever! This place sucks!"
Momentarily, the twelve minutes were finally up and Patrick was well pleased. He knew the time had come because the middle-aged man reminded him.
"Ok, sir. The portal is now open for travel purposes. Please do follow me!"
-----
And so...Patrick Star, upcoming pokemon trainer was now on his way to Pallet Town. He was currently sitting securely in the Travel Shuttle. It was a transportation vehicle that was surprsingly comfortable. "This portal rocks!" said Patrick with joy. His eyes widened at the speed meter. The shuttle was going very fast!
Soon. Oh, very soon. He was going to become an offical pokemon trainer.
