I was early one morning on Milkan Island. The pokémon and people alike on the island were beginning to awake. It was a very special day for one girl. Just like a lot of people Amy Wingfield, a brunette haired girl, was finally ready to begin her first pokémon journey.

"My mom why won't you tell what my first pokémon will be." Amy continued to ask her mother as her mother finished pack the small thing that she would need on her journey into a backpack. "Amy you know I can't tell you that it is a surprise," Amy's mother told her.

Amy was over joy about getting her first pokémon from Nurse Joy. Since on Milkan Island there was no professor to give out pokémon who nurse joy took over the role. New Trainers are allow to started their journey at any time as long as they put in a request two week before hand to allow nurse joy to prepare. Amy decides to not start her journey on 10th birthday because she felted like she was not ready this was not uncommon nowadays. Amy had waited till her fifteenth birthday to begin her journey. So Now that she was ready to start her journey she would go to nurse joy and get her first pokémon.

"Mom," Amy shouted from her room where she had finished getting dressed. "It's time for me to go now."

"Yes dear, I know I'm coming." Her mother appeared. "Here you go." She handed her daughter the backpack she had been packing. "This has all the stuff you might need on your journey and also here is your ticket for the boat."

Amy took the pack. "Thanks mom."

Her mom quickly hugged her. "Call me anytime if you need anything or if you just want to say hi or anything."

"I will mom."

"And please be careful dear." Her mother released her daughter from the hug.

"I will." Amy smiled as she glanced as the wall clock.

Amy walked over to the front door and opened it.

"I love you." Amy said

Amy looked back. "I love you too," Her mother answered before Amy stepped outside and shut the door behind her.

It was only a ten minute walk from Amy's house to the pokémon center, but Amy decided to rush to get there quicker because she was so excited. Since she practically sprinted the whole way there the pokémon center she was very tired when she had made it to the pokémon center door.

"You must be the new trainer, Amy Wingfield." Nurse Joy asked. "Yes that is me," Amy said as she wiped the sweat from her brow. Nurse joy then motioned for her to come in. "Are you alright?"

"Oh me I'm fine." Amy said then quickly got out a water bottle and drunk it still out of breath. "I'm okay." Amy said and stuck up her thumb.

"Okay then come with me." Nurse Joys walked into the back of the pokémon center as Amy followed.

Joy turned on the lights as the room lit up. Amy was near jumping up and down with excitement. Amy was in love with pokemon so when she saw the shelf containing pokeballs she was completely in awe.

"This is so cool," Amy said as she looks around at the pokeballs and at the equipment that Nurse Joy had.

"Yes I have a lot of equipment to the pokémon. But of course most of it is the stuff that I have been using for years." She turned to Amy. "This is nothing compared to the amount of stuff that they have in Kanto."

"Why?"

"Because most of the people that come to orange islands are just tourist and most of the trainers of the trainers travel to different region to do their journeys." Nurse Joy looked at the pokeballs again.

"I guess I'm one of those people I going to the Hoenn region to started my journey but I will do the orange island challenge later down the road," Amy said.

"That is wonderful!" Joy declared as he flipped a switch next to her on a control panel.

A small three-foot section of the middle of the room floor rose up. It stopped at about five feet and three bubbled containers opened to reveal three pokeballs. Amy walked up to them at just stared.

"Take your pick." Nurse Joy smiled. "Since you're the only one beginning their journey today you get to choice between these three pokémon."

"Cool!" Amy read the inscriptions on the pokeballs. "Poliwag, Rhyhorn, Magnemite." Amy stopped. "I don't know which to choose!"

Nurse joy smiled. "Well, maybe I can help you." She leaned down next to her. "That one," she pointed to the far-left pokeball. "is Rhyhorn. It is a Ground pokemon. Rhyhorn uses attacks like stomp and it can use its strong horn for powerful horn related attacks." Nurse Joy pointed to the next one to the left. "This one is Poliwag. It uses attacks like Water gun and Hypnosis." Nurse Joy pointed to the last of the pokeballs. "Finally, there is Magnemite the electric pokémon. It uses thunderbolt and thundershock attacks."

"Wow," Amy replied as Nurse joy finished. "They are all so wonderful."

Amy stared at the pokeballs wondering which to choose. She already loved them all and she hasn't even seen them yet. Even though all three of the pokemon we're great and even though she wanted them all she decided which to choose. Amy reached and grabbed the pokeball in the middle. "I want this one."

"Good choice." Nurse Joy replied to her choice.

Amy was too excited to wait. She pointed the pokeball at the floor near her and released the pokémon. "Come on out!"

A cute little blue pokémon appeared. It looked up at the two humans staring at it and smiled at Amy. "Poli!"

"Awe, you are so cute!" Amy reached down and picked up the Poliwag. "I know you and I are going to be great friends." Poliwag looked at Amy and just smiled as Amy hugged it. "Poli Poli."

Nurse Joy turned around to walk over to the control panel where she had first flipped the switch for the pokémon and picked up a little white computer which was sitting on a shelf above. Nurse Joy walked back to Amy and handed the computer to her. "Here is your pokedex. You can use this to give you information about a pokémon. Just point it towards an unknown pokémon and it will tell you what it is if it's on file."

Nurse Joy also hands her five more pokeballs. "Remember you can only carry six pokemon with you at a time so if you catch a seventh it will be sent to the place where you request it to be send to which would probably be Professor Birch's laboratory in Little Root Town where he will keep it until you want to switch pokemon."

"Cool." Amy examined it.

"Now be careful and remember to treat your Poliwag and all your other pokemon well." Nurse Joy added.

"Of course."

Nurse Joy walked her to the door. "Okay well be careful and I wish you luck. Call me if you have any questions about anything."

"I will." Amy was really anxious to go. She stepped out when Nurse Joy opened the door.

"Good luck." Nurse Joy finished.

"Thanks Nurse Joy." Amy said as she turned at walked away from the pokémon center.

Nurse Joy went back to her work and let Amy leave.

Amy walked away from the pokémon center too excited to hold it in with the Poliwag skipping at her side. She couldn't wait to begin her training and she couldn't wait to catch her first pokemon.

She just couldn't wait to get started.
