Hi all, it's pokémaster Sam here having another go at writing a fan fiction, seeing as my last one didn't go too well. Now kick back and enjoy the show!

Chapter One: Hello World of Pokémon

Touko sighed as the buzzer of her clock went off. She wasn't really looking forward to today, especially from what her mom was forcing her to do, and that was going on a Pokémon adventure. Touko is a shy, timid girl; she hardly even talks to her mom or older brother. Pokémon trainers are always charismatic and talkative, a description she really didn't fit, especially since she was 14, which made it even more unusual. Most girls her age would be very bubbly and would love to go on an adventure.
She turned off the alarm, getting out of bed. She looked around her room, not really wanting to leave the comfort of it, but she must, her mother was nice, but her word was law. Slowly she got dressed in a white t-shirt, black over-jacket, and jean cut-off s with her combat boots. Just as she was about to leave the room she saw a gift-wrapped box sitting on the table.
"Hmm? Who left this here?" She wondered, going over. There was a small card on top of the box, which she read.
Dear Touko
I know that you aren't so crazy about going outside, let alone to my laboratory where most of the new trainers will be screaming and yelling about which Pokémon they want, so I decided to send yours over to you. I know there are three Pokémon to choose from, but I got a special Pokémon, just for you! It's not a rare or legendary Pokémon, but you probably won't see one until you get to Driftveil, and I think she'll suit your personality just fine. But you still have to stop by my lab to get everything else and a few trainer lessons! But I'll teach you all on your own so that you won't be stuck with the bunch of screaming hopefuls. The appointment for picking up Pokémon is at 11 am. but come over at 9:30 then you won't have to worry. Just don't tell Bianca or Cheren about this. Touya? He already knows.

Sincerely
Professor Juniper

"Oh… Isn't that nice of Professor Juniper?" Touko smiled slightly, opening the box. There lay the red and white pokéball which contained her first ever Pokémon.

"W-why is my heart racing like this? A-am I really excited and never knew it?" She questioned herself before deciding that she really was excited. She took the pokéball and released the Pokémon inside. A small Joltik appeared from the blue ray, looking at Touko.

"Jol! Joltik!" She cried happily with a smile on her face.

"Awww! Aren't you cute? But I thought Joltiks are yellow and blue… Not beige yellow and purple. Guess I'll have to ask the Professor about that." Touko looked at the clock, noticing it was 9:15. "Oh jeez! We better go!" She stuck Joltik's pokéball in her bag, picking up the tiny Pokémon before running downstairs. She was out of the door with less than a "I'll be back later!" to her mother and Touya who were eating breakfast.

"She's probably off to see Professor Juniper." Touya mumbled before going back to eating. He was a year and a half older than Touko, but he decided to go on his journey at the same time she did so that she wouldn't be as reluctant.

Touko looked at the big laboratory which belonged to Juniper, amazed at how big it actually was when you were close to it. Slowly she went inside, only to be greeted by the Professor after taking five steps inside.

"Why hello Touko! It's nice to see you and that you have your Joltik with you!" The Professor's smile made Touko relax actually. She was usually around with the professor, since Juniper knew what Touko was like and what the girl was going through, seeing as she was like her at the exact same age, so knew what made Touko feel better.

"Ummm… Professor? Aren't Joltiks usually yellow and blue?" Touko asked, looking at the Pokemon who was the size of her hand.

"Yes Touko, they are. But this one is a shiny Pokémon. Which gives her a different color. All shinys differ in color from the normal ones. It makes them rare, though their strength and such stays the same as the norms."

"Oh, I understand Professor." Was all that Touko said.

"Now lets get you everything you need for your journey." Juniper shuffled through a tabled then brought over a small box. "In this box is a pokédex and five pokéballs. I had the pokédex made in a custom color just for you, seeing as they only come in black with pink or red details. This one has purple details."

Touko accepted the pokéballs and dex happily, putting them in her bag, but decided to put the pokédex in her pocket for easy access.
"Okay, lets go teach you how to battle and catch pokemon."

After about forty-five minutes of lessons, Professor Juniper decided that Touko knew enough and that she had to get ready for the group of new trainers.

Touko walked into the house just as Touya was leaving. "Hey sis, meet ya on Route one in a few minutes." He smiled at his sister before running towards the laboratory.

"Oh sweetie! Isn't that a cute Pokémon!?" Mrs. White smiled, bringing over her daughters Xtransciever. "You cannot forget this now! We have to stay in touch somehow! And if you ever need help or anything, don't be afraid to call me or your brother! That's why we're here. And I know this adventure will do you good, maybe you'll be able to get over your shyness."

"Yes mom… Maybe you're right." And for the first time that day, Touko felt excited to start on her journey.

"So what's her name?" Her mother asked.

"What?"

"Your Pokémon's, silly!"

"Hmmm… Rei. Her name is Rei."
