By the way, this takes place in Hoenn.

CHAPTER 1

It was a peaceful day, a fine one, indeed. The sun was bright and the wind was really slow.

"What a perfect day to start a journey." Melissa cooed opening her window.

Today Melissa was 10, which meant it was time for her to start her Pokemon journey. Melissa was excited but she was nervous too. After all, she will be travelling alone for months. She decided to calm herself down.

Melissa was not interested in clothes so she had no trouble deciding what to wear. She threw a t-shirt and jeans. And put sneakers beside the bed.

"Oh, this is totally gonna be fun. I get to meet new people almost every day! Yay!"

Meeting new people was one of Melissa's favorite things to do.

"Melissa!" Her mom called

"Coming, mom" Melissa answered.

She came downstairs with her backpack ready and clothes changed and sneakers on.

"Well, look who's bright and early!" Janet said (A/N I am gonna go with this name for her mom)

Melissa laughed.

While eating her breakfast, Janet asked if she had the pass for getting her first pokemon.

"You bet, mom. I am much more responsible now." Melissa answered.

"Is your bike ready?" Janet asked again.

"MOM!" Melissa yelled.

Ok, ok just trying to be helpful" her mom seemed a bit taken aback.

After breakfast she hugged her mom goodbye.

"I will call you every week". Melissa said

Janet smiled

Janet gave her the map and she was off.

She was so busy reading the map that she didn't notice she was going to bump right in a tree. Some people tried to warn her but she didn't listen. When she was about to turn her bike she saw the tree.

She yelled. She jumped. But the bike was not in good shape.

"Oh great!" Melissa groaned.

Now I have to walk with a broken bike. When she reached to Professor Birch's lab, she put her bike on the side. When she went in, professor Birch's assistant Joshua said to wait. Meanwhile, Melissa had no idea what to choose. She liked cute Pokemon but she needed strong pokemon.

"Hmm" Melissa hmmed
