So I recently purchased a new copy of Pokemon Black, so I decided to write a story based off it! I can't promise constant updates, because the story is still a work in progress. But I will try my best! I promise!

A couple of things...

I hate using the official names in fanfictions. It just feels so uncreative. Calanthia is pretty much Hilda/White/Touko. Just saying.

Yes, there is ferriswheelshipping involved. No, this is not exclusively a ferriswheelshipping story.

Disclaimer for now and all chapters: I don't own Pokemon. Unfortunately.

Claimer for now and all chapters: I do own any changes made to the story line and the personalities of the characters.

Without further adu, let's begin our adventures in Unova!

*edit* I added Cheren and Bianca's last names, and Changed Jasmine's name to Calanthia.

"Calanthia! Cheren's here to see you!" my mom's voice called from downstairs. Finally! I had been waiting forever!

"I'll be down in a second, Mom!" I shouted. I leapt off of my bed and took one last look in my mirror. I was wearing my favorite outfit, a white tank top with a black vest, and denim blue shorts. Most of my dark brown hair was in a high ponytail. I had black sneakers with pink laces. Although, it felt like something was missing…

I spotted a white cap on my dresser, with a pink pokeball accent. I put it on, tugging my ponytail through the strap. There. Now it was perfect. I ran out of my room, and down the stairs. My friend Cheren Lysov was sitting in the living room, along with my mother.

"Hey, Cheren!" I said, cheerfully. "Thanks for coming on such short notice!"

Cheren smiled when he saw me. "Good morning, Calanthia. So, what's the exciting news you have for me?"

"Professor Juniper sent the package. We're finally going to get our own Pokemon!" I said, not even trying to contain my excitement.

Through Cheren's red glasses, I could see his eyes widen. "Really?" he said.

"Yes!" I replied, my voice higher than usual. "Come upstairs, let me show you!"

Without really giving Cheren a choice, I grabbed his wrist and pulled him into my room. I sat him down by my bed, then ran over to my desk. A blue box was sitting there, tied up with a green ribbon. The box that contained my first Pokemon.

"Check it out!" I said, holding up the box. "Isn't it cool?"

"It's pretty cool," Cheren agreed.

"So do you wanna open it now?" I said.

"Calanthia, shouldn't we wait for Bianca?" Cheren said. "What's keeping her, anyway?"

I sighed. Bianca Morelli was our other friend. And she was always late for stuff.

"Am I a little late again? So-oooo-orry!" As if on cue, Bianca burst into my room, smiling cheerfully.

Cheren sighed, and walked over to Bianca. "Bianca…" he said. "I've known you for about fifteen years now, almost our entire lives. And I know that you have no sense of time. But this is a little bit ridiculous…"

"Cheren!" I said. I set the package on my desk again, and walked over to my friends. "Don't be so serious! Today's supposed to be the most memorable day of our lives! We're finally getting our first Pokemon! And I do not want this day to be ruined by my friend being a grumpy pants!"

Bianca giggled. "You're silly. Cheren's not a grumpy pants! He's just grumpy! It's completely different!"

I laughed, as Cheran groaned. "Can we please just get to the point?" he said. "Like Calanthia said, we're getting our first Pokemon today!"

"Oh, right!" I said. "So, since Bianca's finally here, can we open the box now?"

Cheren nodded. "I don't see a problem with that." Yes! I was so excited! It was finally time to pick my own Pokemon.

"I think Calanthia should pick first!" Bianca suggested.

"I agree," Cheren said. "It is her house, after all."

"Are you guys sure?" I said. I didn't want to take the Pokemon one of them wanted!

Cheren and Bianca nodded. "And hurry up!" Cheren said. "I want to meet the Pokemon right now!"

I nodded, and walked over to the box on my desk. I slowly untied the green ribbon, and opened the box. Inside there were three red Pokeballs. On top of these, there was a note.

I took the note out of the box, and read it out loud. "I've brought three Pokemon, one for you and one for each of your friends. Please settle your choices politely."

"Letting you pick first is polite!" Cheren said. "Now hurry up!"

"All right, all right already!" I said. I turned back to the box and stared at the Pokeballs. Snivy, oshawott, and tepig. One of these Pokemon was going to become my new partner. I didn't know which one to pick.

Oshawott was pretty cool. It was a water type, and learned some pretty cool moves. At least, that's what Cheren told me.

Tepig also seemed to be a good Pokemon. It was a fire type, and was just plain adorable!

Snivy was very elegant. It was a grass type, and it's evolved form was so cool looking!

All of the Pokemon were pretty awesome. But I could only choose one.

"I'll take Snivy," I declared, taking the snivy Pokeball from the box.

"Okay!" Bianca said, running over to me. "Then I'll take oshawott! Cheren, you get Tepig."

Cheren also walked over to us. "Hey, how come you get to pick my Pokemon for me? Oh, it doesn't matter. I wanted tepig from the start, anyway."

"So we finally have our first Pokemon…" I said. "This is so exciting! But… now what?"

"Hey, I know!" Bianca exclaimed, suddenly. "We should have a Pokemon battle!"

I smiled. "Sounds like a great idea to me!"

"Wait," Cheren said. "You two can't be serious. You shouldn't have Pokemon battles inside a house, no matter how strong or weak the Pokemon are."

"Come on, Cheren! Don't be such a worrywart!" Bianca said. "These little ones aren't that strong yet. So we have to let them battle so they get stronger! Besides, how much damage can they really cause?"

Cheren looked like he wanted to protest, but I interrupted him. "Bianca's right. We have to let our Pokemon battle! Besides, you're here to make sure we don't destroy everything in my bedroom."

Cheren sighed. "Fine. Just be careful."

"Yay!" Bianca cheered. "Let's do this, Calanthia! Come on out, Oshawott!"

Bianca threw her red Pokeball, sending out her new Pokemon. A small, blue and white Pokemon emerged from the Pokeball. Oshawott. It was adorable.

I sent out my new snivy. He let out his cry emerged from the Pokeball. Snivy was also pretty cute, but it was more elegant than anything.

"Are you ready, Calanthia?" Bianca asked. I nodded. "Alright, then! Oshawott, show Calanthia what you can do! Use Tackle!"

Bianca's Oshawott nodded, and charged at my Snivy. Oshawott's tackle attack was a direct hit, and Snivy went flying. He landed on my bed.

"Snivy!" I said. "Are you alright?"

Snivy nodded, getting back to his feet. I sighed with relief. "Good. Use Tackle!"

Snivy charged at Oshawott. Another direct hit. Oshawott was knocked onto my desk. "Hey!" Bianca shouted. "I won't let you get away with that! Oshawott, use Tackle again"

Oshawott nodded. "Oh, no you don't!" I said. "Snivy, dodge and use Tackle!"

Snivy leapt out of the way right before Oshawott made contact. Oshawott crashed into my dresser. Snivy turned around and slammed into Oshawott.

"Oshawott!" Bianca shouted. "Please, get up!"

Oshawott struggled to get back to his feet, but it didn't work. Oshawott was down.

"And that's it!" Cheren shouted. "Calanthia is the winner!"

"Great job, Snivy!" I cheered. "Return!" I called Snivy back into it's Pokeball.

"The Pokemon on both sides did their best!" Bianca said, also recalling her Pokemon. "Calanthia, you're gonna be an awesome trainer someday!"

"Thanks," I said, smiling. "You're gonna be great, too, Bianca."

"Hey, guys," Cheren said. "This is all well and good, but I'd suggest taking a look around before you celebrate too much."

And that was when I realized how destroyed my room was. There were pillows all over the floor, and Pokemon footprints all over the place. The rug was folded. The lamp on my desk had shattered. The box the Pokemon came in was smushed. Even my TV wasn't spared. It was tilted at a weird angle. The Pokemon completely trashed my room. Oh well. Still worth it.

"Wow…" Bianca said. "Pokemon are amazing! So little, but so strong! I'm so glad that I get to have a Pokemon."

"Pokemon are truly incredible," I agreed.

Bianca turned to me. "Oh… I'm sorry about your room, Calanthia."

I smiled. "Don't worry about it! I helped destroy it, too!"

Bianca laughed. "I guess that's true!"

Cheren sighed, and walked over to Bianca. "You… are completely hopeless. Let me heal your Pokemon."

Cheren took out a spray bottle and sprayed Oshawott's Pokeball with it. Apparently that healed it.

Cheren turned to me. "Let me heal your Pokemon, too." He repeated the process with my Snivy. "There."

"Hey, Cheren!" Bianca exclaimed. "You should battle, too! With all you know, I'm sure you can battle without turning the room into a disaster area like I did!"

Cheren smiled. "I believe you're right! It'll be no problem for me to keep the room from getting any messier. Besides, it's no fair if you two get to have all the fun battling!"

I grinned. "Then it's settled! Cheren, let's have a Pokemon Battle! And let's try not to destroy anything this time!"

Cheren laughed. "That would be a good idea. Alright, Tepig! It's time to see what you can do!"

Cheren threw his Pokemon, and his Tepig emerged from it. It snorted.

"It's time for round two!" I said. "Let's go, Snivy!"

I also called out my Pokemon. Snivy was ready to go. He looked very determined. "Snivy, use Tackle!" The one attack I knew Snivy had!

Snivy charged at Tepig, and made a direct hit. Luckily, Tepig simply slid across the floor instead of flying across the room.

"Tepig, try your own Tackle attack!" Cheren shouted. The fire Pokemon nodded, and charged at my Snivy. Snivy was nearly shoved into my dresser, but Tepig stopped before that happened.

"Not, bad, Cheren," I said. "At least we haven't had any big disasters yet."

Cheren smiled. "That's what I do! This is so exciting, Calanthia! We've finally become Pokemon Trainers!"

"I know, right? This is great!" I said. "Snivy, use Tackle again."

This caught Cheren slightly off guard. He didn't have time to react as my Snivy crashed into his Tepig. "Tepig!" he cried. "Come on, you can do this!"

I smirked. "Snivy, finish this off! One last tackle attack!"

Snivy cried out and rammed into Tepig again. This time, Tepig actually went flying. Thankfully it didn't destroy anything, though. But Tepig was definitely down. I had won again.

Cheren smiled at me, as he called back his Tepig. "Good job, Calanthia," he said. "It's strange.. even though I lost, I'm still excited beyond words! I'm finally a Pokemon Trainer!"

"It's a pretty good feeling," I agreed.

"So, what do we do now?" Bianca asked. Oh, yeah. We actually had to do something.

"Should we go see Professor Juniper?" I suggested.

"That can wait," Cheren said. "We should probably go apologize to Calanthia's mother first. We made a pretty big mess out of her room, after all."

"Oh, guys, you don't need to do that," I said. "I'm sure my mom will understand."

"No, Cheren's right," Bianca said. "I don't want you getting in trouble for something I did. Come on, Cheren."

Bianca and Cheren walked out of my room. I stayed behind, surveying the damage dealt to the room. Thankfully, nothing seemed to be broken. There was definitely a very large mess, however. That was going to take a while to clean up.

I followed my friends out of my room, and slowly walked down the stairs. I sat down at the bottom of the staircase, watching my friends.

"I'm very sorry about all this trouble, Mrs. Black," Cheren said.

Bianca gulped, stepping closer to my mom. "Well, um… We can clean up…"

Mom laughed. "Cleaning up? No worries. I can take care of it later. Shouldn't you be on your way to go meet Professor Juniper?"

"Yes, thank you!" Cheren said. "Come on, guys! Let's go see Professor Juniper!"

I stepped off of the staircase. "I'll be there in a second. You two go ahead."

Cheren nodded. "We'll wait for you outside of the research lab."

"Actually, I'll meet you guys there, too," Bianca said. "I have to go home first. Thanks for having us over Mrs. Black!"

"Anytime, kids," Mom said, as Cheren and Bianca ran out of my house together.

Mom walked over to me. "My, my, Calanthia," she said. "Pokemon battles are so lively, aren't they? I could hear the Pokemon's cries even from down here!"

"Oh, really?" I said, laughing. "Sorry if we disturbed you!"

Mom smiled. "Not at all. It actually reminded me of the first time I had a Pokemon battle." She sighed. "Those were the days."

"Hey, Mom," I said. "I should probably get going now. The Professor is probably waiting for us."

"Don't forget your cross-transceiver!" Mom said. "You're going to need it!"

She pulled my pink watch-like thing out of her pocket. My XTransceiver. Wow, I almost forgot I had one. It was going to be helpful if I got seperated from my friends. With the XTransceiver, we would be able to communicate anywhere!

"Thanks, Mom," I said.

Mom smiled. "Don't mention it. You should probably go and see the Professor now."

I nodded. "See you later." I started to walk out of the house.

"Oh, Calanthia..." Mom said, her expression suddenly darker. "I almost forgot to tell you. Your father called this morning."

I stopped short. "Really? What did he say?"

"He said that he was proud of you for getting your first Pokemon, but couldn't get away from work to come and see you," she replied.

"Oh..." I said. Then, I forced a smile. "Well, it's all right. I'll see him eventually."

"You know, I actually met your father on my Pokemon journey..." Mom said. "I wonder if the same will happen to you..."

"Mom!" I nearly shouted. "No! Just no! I'm leaving now!"

I ran out of the house without another word, into the cool, Autumn air. I always loved Nuvema town. It was a pretty small town. Not too many people lived there. There were only about a half a dozen houses, and the Research Lab. But Nuvema town was very beautiful. Especially in Autumn. The trees turned spectacular shades of red and yellow, and the leaves were blowing everywhere. The town was also right next to the ocean. It was really relaxing.

I walked behind my house to reach the Research Lab. However, only Cheren was standing in front of it.

"Hey, Cheren!" I said. "Where's Bianca?"

Cheren sighed. "I don't know. Could you maybe check her house? I'll bet she's spacing out like she usually does. You know how flighty she is."

I nodded. "Alright. Be back soon!"

I ran across town, and over to Bianca's house. Like the rest of the houses in this town, it wasn't too large. But it was big enough for a family of three, and a few Pokemon.

"No, no, a thousand times no!"

I heard shouting even before I walked through the door. I peeked inside to see Bianca standing across from her father.

"But Dad!" Bianca protested. "I'm a good Trainer, who got a Pokemon and everything! I can totally go on an adventure!"

Bianca started to walk toward the door. I immediately ran away from the door, so Bianca wouldn't know I was listening. A few seconds later, she walked out of her house. Her usual cheerful demeanor was gone.

"Hi, Bianca," I said, walking over to her. "Is everything alright?" I didn't want her to know I heard the argument.

Bianca looked up at me, and smiled. "Hey, Calanthia! Don't worry, everythings fine! We should hurry to the Research Lab. Cheren's waiting for us."

Before I could say anything else, Bianca grabbed me and dragged me back to the Research Center. I was really walking all over this town today…

"Cheren!" I said. "I brought Bianca!"

Cheren laughed. "Really? It looks like it's the other way around to me!"

I detached Bianca's hand from my arm. "It doesn't matter!" I said. "Let's just go meet the Professor!"

I walked into the Research Lab, followed by Cheren and Bianca. Professor Juniper was in there waiting for us.

I really liked Professor Juniper. Since we lived in such a small town, you kind of know everyone. And the Professor was no exception. She was always really nice to my friends and me. She was pretty much always smiling. She had a very warm smile that always lightened my spirits. And we never really had any reason to dislike her.

Even now, as we walked into her lab, she was smiling her warm smile at us.

"Hi there!" she said. "I've been waiting for you kids! Let me introduce myself again. My name is-"

"Professor Juniper?" Cheren interrupted. "We've known you our entire lives. I think we know your name by now."

"Come, come, Cheren! This is not a time to take things lightly," Professor Juniper said. "Today is a day to remember always, so it's best to behave with some formalities."

"But formalities are boring…" I whispered.

Professor Juniper sighed. "And I see that all formalities are lost on you three. Oh well. By the way, kids, you are allowed to give your Pokemon nicknames. Do you have anything in mind?"

I stared at Snivy's Pokeball. "I think I'll call him Shuman." I declared, after a few seconds of silence.

Professor Juniper smiled. "Excellent. Cheren? Bianca?"

Cheren shook his head. "Tepig is fine the way he is."

"I agree with Cheren!" Bianca said. Wow, my friends were not very creative. I liked nicknames. I felt like you got more attached to your Pokemon that way.

"That's fine, too," Professor Juniper said. "Now, I bet you're all wondering why I've called you here today."

"It's for the Pokedex, isn't it?" Cheren asked. The Pokedex? What was that?

Professor Juniper smiled. "Very good, Cheren! You've already studied Pokemon extensively, haven't you?" Cheren nodded.

I said, "Well, the rest of us haven't. Do you mind explaining?"

Professor Juniper laughed. "Of course. The Pokedex is a high-tech device that automatically records the Pokemon you encounter! So, I want the three of you to visit many places and meet all of the Pokemon in the Unova Region. Will you three do this for me?"

"Sure!" I said, without hesitation. I didn't really know what I wanted to do with my Pokemon yet. Maybe going on a journey would help me find my dream.

"Ok!" Bianca exclaimed. "I mean… Yes, Professor!" Bianca, I thought we weren't being formal!

"Thank you very much," Cheren said. Well, he had always been pretty formal. "Because of you, I can become a Pokemon Trainer. Exactly as I've always wished."

Professor Juniper beamed at us. "Thank you so much!" she said. "I have the Pokedexes right here."

She walked over to her desk, and picked up three rectangular items. She handed one to each of us. Bianca's was white, with a green Pokeball accent. Cheren's was black, with a dark blue Pokeball. And mine was grey, with a pink accent.

"I'd like to show you three around Accumula Town," Professor Juniper said. "Will you meet me there?"

Cheren, Bianca, and I nodded.

Professor Juniper smiled. "Excelent. See you all soon." She walked out of the lab.

"Hey, guys?" Bianca said. "Since the Professor asked us, it's okay to go on a journey, right? I can explore and maybe find out what I want to do in life. I think I'd like that."

"Of course it's alright," Cheren said. "We can travel however we want while we complete the Pokedex. I think I'm going to challenge all of the gym leaders, so I can eventually become the champion. What are you going to do, Calanthia?"

"I don't know," I admitted. "I guess I can challenge the gyms, too. I haven't really thought about what I want to do in life yet, so this could be good for me, too."

Sure, I would help with the Pokedex. And sure I would challenge the gyms. But the real reason I was going on this adventure was to find my dream. I didn't know what I wanted to do at that point. So this was a great opportunity for me.

"Fair enough," Cheren said. "We should probably get going. We don't want to keep the Professor waiting for too long."

Bianca and I nodded, and the three of us walked out of the lab together.

I hope you guys enjoyed! Review if you did, or if you didn't. It will really help the story!
