Chapter one

Disclaimer: I don't own pokemon and am not affiliated with Nintendo or game freak.

"WAKE UP!" screamed my mom's lillipup, Gizmo.

"ugh. Alright Gizmo I'm up"

"Mom is making breakfast before you have to leave for your journey today. She told me to come and wake you up." Explained Gizmo.

My name is Jason Flare. I have blue hair, glasses, and an average muscular build. I have the ability to talk to pokemon. I hurriedly jumped out of bed and ran to the closet. Looking around I got dressed in blue jeans, blue tennis shoes, and a blue t-shirt with a pokeball on the front. Grabbing my bag(which I packed the previous night) I walk down stairs to the kitchen with Gizmo prancing along in front of me. As I walked into the kitchen I saw my mom Ellen flare cooking waffles and bacon. (Gizmo are is mom's pet.) "Hi honey ready for your pokemon journey? Hurry up and eat your breakfast you have to go meet professor Sycamore at Aquacorde town." My mom sadly said.

"Mom are you alright?" I asked.

"Oh I am fine Jason. I wish I could go with you but I to look after your sisters with your father." She replied.

"Where is he anyway?" I asked.

"He is at his job at the pokemon center." She replied. "Here Jason take this." She said as she handed me a present. I opened the box and was surprised to find Gizmo's pokeball.

"Mom you are giving me Gizmo?"

"I don't want to go." Gizmo cried, "I will miss you too much."

She started to cry. "I wanted to give you something to remember me by. Gizmo you be good for Jason. Remember he doesn't like pokeballs. Also, remember the everstone we used on him. Now you better be going or you will be late."

"Ok mom bye." I cried as I walked out the door. "I'll be praying for you." She yelled as I closed the door.

I started to walk down the path to Aquacorde town from my hometown of Vaniville town with Gizmo sadly walking beside me. Just then Gizmo's mood shifted as he smelled all kinds of new smells. Within a few minutes we came into sight of Aquacorde town. Gizmo and I hurried to the park where we to meet with professor Sycamore. We found him sitting in the gazebo waiting for us.

"Why hello Jason. It is nice to see you." He greeted.

"Hi professor. Can I have my starter now?" I pleaded.

"Very well." He said as he pulled out three pokeballs. "One contains squirtle, one contains charmander, and one contains bulbasaur." He explained as he released them. Gizmo walked right up to squirtle and started sniffing. "Get away from me you mangy mutt!" Squirtle yelled as he fired a water gun at Gizmo. Bulbasaur freaked out and hid behind professor Sycamore.

"Not very friendly are they?" Gizmo remarked.

Just then out of the corner of my eye I thought I saw a flicker of orange dash behind a tree.

"Don't mind them." Charmander said as he did a pose to show how powerful he was.

"I choose charmander." I proudly announced.

"Ah. Good choice." The professor said as he handed me charmander's pokeball.

"I think I will call him ember." I said.

Just then another charmander came running up and started hugging ember while crying. Ember blushed while he looked to me for help.

"Oh dear it looks like she followed me after all." The professor frowned.

"Proffessor whose charmander is this and why is she hugging Ember?" I asked.

"This charmander is from a litter a separate litter of charmanders. She hasn't had very good luck with trainers. Each trainer she has had has given up and sent her back do to her extreme anxiety and fear of battling. She has fallen in love with Ember I believe. He is the only thing I have seen that as calmed her down. You wouldn't mind taking her as one of your pokemon would you?" He explained/asked.

"I would love to professor." I happily replied as I toke her pokemonball from the professor.

"Welcome to the team Inferno." I said as I reached down to pat her head. Inferno jumped and hide behind Ember. Professor Sycamore handed me a pokedex and 10 pokeballs.

"Don't worry she will warm up to you soon enough." Sycamore assured. "I better be going back to the lab now. You should come and visit once you get to Lumiose city." He said as he walked away.

"So which one of us is Ember and which one is Inferno?" Ember asked.

"You are Ember." I told Ember, "and you are Inferno." I told Inferno as she screamed and Ember stood there with his mouth open.

"Wow you can understand us?" Ember asked me surprised.

"Yup. Jason can talk to pokemon." Gizmo answered.

"Ever since I can remember." I added. "Come on guys lets go searching for wild pokemon." I exclaimed as we trekked towards route 2.

I kept my eyes open for any pokemon as I wandered around. Gizmo followed with his nose to ground searching for interesting smells. Ember walked around challenging wild pokemon to battles leaving burnt patches of grass wherever we went. Inferno kept herself busy by cowering by Ember or by me when Ember started a battle. Just then a scatterbug fell from an above branch.

"Ow." It mumbled, "Darn tree sap."

"Wow a scatterbug! Ember you appear to love battling use ember." I shouted. Ember jumped forward and the flames on his tail flared up as he launched a ball of fire at scatterbug. Scatterbug fell over and gave a charred cough. "Way to go Ember. Go pokeball!" I shouted. The pokeball rocked back and forth. All of a sudden it went ping. I walked over and picked up scatterbug's pokeball. Sattisfied with what I caught I headed back to Aquacorde town to get Ember and scaterbug treated. Proud of my first day as a pokemon trainer.

Author note: this is my first fanfiction so sorry if is not great yet. I will do my best to post at least one chapter a week.

p.s. I am not sure if lillipup can learn the elemental fangs, but he will learn some if not all of them.
