Chapter 1

Red sat on his bed, staring at the TV, the light casting odd shadows throughout his room. He was watching a repeat of the one-hundredth united league championships. So far, Jonathan's Gyarados was fighting Ashley's Absol, and seemed to be frustrated at the lack of success it was having. It fired hyper beam straight at the Absol, who simply leaped away from the attack and was further propelled by the explosion. It then fired a shadow ball right back at the Gyarados, which hit it in the face, it rolled back slightly stunned, and then Absol charged it, and slashed it across the chest. The Gyarados crumbled to the ground, and groaning and cheering echoed across the stadium as money exchanged hands and the end of the battle was declared, with Ashley cheering and ruffling the back of Absol's fur. Red smiled as he heard the commentator declare that Ashley was the winner and would now be heading on to the next level of the league. As far as he could remember Red had had an obsession with Pokemon, his mom had told him it ran in the blood, because she had met his dad on her Pokemon adventure, and so had his grandparents. So, he learned all he could about Pokemon, preparing for the day when he would go to professor Oak and get his starter, and then go out and have his adventure. Life hadn't been easy though. Due to his obsession the other kids in Pallet town called him weird, or nerd, or a neek. So he didn't have any friends, save one Ash Ketchup but he had left a year ago to go on his adventure. So he was often terrorized by the other kids. Red sighed as he realized that he had to be early to get to the professor's or else he would probably be stopped by the other children. Turning of the TV, he turned over and, despite his excitement from earlier, was out like a light.

The next morning, he woke up at 7:30, where he got dressed and ate breakfast with his mom, who smiled at him as he ate as fast as he could.
"Slow down Roger, or you'll eat the plate by accident." She mock scolded. Red or 'Roger' as he was called by his family, merely glanced at her before slowing own a bit. "Yes mom." He mumbled around his sandwich,

"And don't speak with your mouth full!" she admonished. He sighed, before turning back to his meal. 'I wonder what Pokémon I will get, maybe a Squirtle. Or a Bulbasaur even, their pretty good. Or a Charmander! They're very awesome.' Red thought to himself as he finished off his meal. He went over to the entrance hall and began doing his shoes. However, before he left to go, his mom, called. "Hey Red?! Do be careful going up there! I'll be at the gate when you come down!"

"Okay! Thanks mom!" and with that, he opened the door. Shouldering his back pack, he strode out of his house, turned to look at the hill where Professor Oak lived, and started walking. On his way, he kept an eye out for the local bully, Johnny oak, Garry's younger brother, while Gary hadn't been out right mean to people just been quite cold and rude, his little brother was an outright cruel child, often known for beating up little kids or stealing things. He had a gang of friends with him nearly all the time, whom helped him with his behavior. He was the main perpetrator of all Red's bullying, so he kept a wary eye out for him. Then, just as he thought he was safe, Johnny and his friends came round the corner in front of him, on bikes. Red froze as he saw Johnny's eyes zero in on him like a Pidgeotto on its prey. "Hey guys look! It's the nerd! Where do you think you're going nerd? Gonna get your Pokemon? We already got ours and there are none left for you! So get lost kid!" The gang began to cycle towards Red, who panicked, and jumped out of the road. He rolled over the moment he landed and began running towards the lab. He knew the other kids were already turning, but didn't expect one to catch his leg so soon, he shouted in surprise but was already tumbling. The other kids dismounted and started to kick him. He protected himself as much as possible, knowing that if he didn't show any emotion, he might not get-
"HEY! STOP THAT!" someone shouted, the boys immediately stopped and jumped back, thinking it was an adult, but when they all turned, they noticed it was just a teenager. He had short blonde hair that stuck up in all directions, and had sharp green eyes. He was glaring at the boys, who relaxed at seeing it wasn't a parent. Johnny sneered at the kid. "What you gonna do, make us?" he turned back to Red and kicked him again.
"Yes, I will." He unclipped a pokeball from his belt and tossed it into the air. "Go! Pichu!" Out of the ball came a small, yellow rodent, with triangular ears that were held up rigidly. It shook its head slightly before looking at the scene, frowning, and straightening up. "Pich!" it called out, its cheeks glowing with static dangerously. The bullies turned and gave the stranger their full attention. "Alright then! If it's a battle you want then that's what you get, let's go guys!" all three pulled out pokeball's and tossed them into the air, from each came Bulbasaur, Charmander, and Squirtle, respectively. The starter Pokemon growled as the saw their target, who despite the disadvantage it was at, firmly stood its ground.

"Alright Pichu use thunder wave!" the stranger called. "Charmander use Flamethrower!" "Bulbasaur Solar beam!" Squirtle hydro pump!" Red sighed in pity at the Pokemon, who merely looked confused at their trainers until the electric shock hit them. The thugs looked just as confused. "What?! Why didn't you guys attack?" the stranger chuckled,

"Don't you guys know anything? You've gotta train your Pokemon before they can use those moves. Gosh this is gonna be easier than I thought. Pichu, use charm!" the Pichu scrunched up its face a second, before pulling an adorable face. This lowered all the starters Pokemon's guard down, tricked by the Pokemon's cute face. Until….

"Now, use thunder punch!" the Pichu stopped pulling the face, just close enough to its opponents to leap onto them, which it did…with a fistful of lightning. The squirtle it was targeting was barely able to look up due to its paralysis, before it got a face full of thunder. It flew back to its trainer with swirls in its eyes. "One down two to go." The outsider said to himself. By now Red was able to get up, and stagger to the side, slightly in awe. He never knew that a Pichu of all things could actually use that kind of move! He watched as the two remaining thugs growled at the stranger, before commanding their own Pokemon. "Bulbasaur, get over yourself and use tackle!" "You too Charmander! Use head-butt!" Bulbasaur however, was still suffering from paralysis, and as such, barely moved before freezing up again. Charmander however, had more luck, and slowly dragged itself at the Pichu before speeding up and bending over, aiming at the Pichu. It managed to hit it, but to Red's surprise it held onto the charmander head as it slowed, whom then proceeded to give it a close quarter thunder shock to in exchange. The Charmander was blown back into the Bulbasaur, who was also gathering speed for its move, before both collided in a small cloud of dust. When it settled, the two starters were knocked out. The bullies gaped in disbelief at the fact that they had lost to a stranger, even with a three to one advantage! They recalled their Pokemon and made a mad dash for the professors lab, yelling that they would be back to get Red, whom had begun laughing on the floor at the way the trio had gotten their asses handed to them, before starting to cough a bit due to his injuries. When a shadow loomed over him, he looked up. The stranger as standing there, his Pichu on his shoulder, both looking down at him with worry.
"Are you okay? Sorry I couldn't have stopped them earlier, I didn't hear you until you shouted." He gave out his hand, "let me introduce myself. My names Luther, what's yours?" Red took the hand and pulled himself up. "My names Roger, but everyone calls me Red." Luther smiled at him, before his Pichu gave out a chirrup. "Oh and this is Pichu, haven't given him a name yet." The Pichu smiled and nimbly leaped onto Red, and proceeded to lick his face once before giving a cheerful chirp. They chuckled at this, before they turned towards the Lab. "Going to get your first Pokemon eh?" Luther asked.
"yeah, today's the big day, though it's been spoiled a bit…" Red replied, feeling sour that the bullies had gotten to him. Before he could go any further into his moroseness, Pichu licked him again. "Pichu pich-pichu!" it said, with a serious look. "Pichu's right, you shouldn't let this get you down, you should keep going! That's what being a trainer is all about. It's tough sometimes, but you gotta stay strong, and looking at the positives." Luther smiled at him. It did help a bit, and if he hadn't been beaten up he wouldn't have met Luther…
"Your right, I should stay strong and keep moving forward." He turned to Luther. "Would you mind staying with me though, just until I get to the lab, if it's okay…?" Red trailed off, feeling awkward. Luther however beamed. "Sure!" he chirped. "I have nothing better to do and I was just here to see the Professor in fact." He turned towards the lab, "let's go then!" he declared, pulling Red along with him.

The two chatted as they walked up to the lab, Red told him of his strong love of Pokemon, and of his dead father. Luther was apparently an only child with only a mom as well, except she wasn't there much due to her Job, which he side-stepped around saying what it was. Red didn't care though; it was nice to have someone to talk to. Luther apparently lived in the Unova with his mom, who was also quite rich apparently. They jogged up the hill to the lab and Red knocked on the door. "Professor?! It's me! Red?!" he heard a muffled "Just a second!" before a man in a lab coat opened the door. His hair seemed to point in just one direction, and he had laugh lines near his eyes. "Welcome Red, good to see you, and Luther! What brings you from Unova? How's your mother?" Luther smiled politely.

"She's great Sir." He replied. Before they could continue with the conversation, Red butted in. "Is there still a Pokemon left sir? Because I ran into Johnny and he said that there are no more Pokemon here, but I didn't believe him because this is a Pokemon lab so there have to be Pokemon right pro-"

"Red! Calm down!" Oak cut in, seeing Red getting more and more worried. Red immediately stopped talking and took a deep breath. "Now, right now we are in the middle of a lack of Pokemon, HOWEVER!" he continued as he saw Red's eyes going wide with grief. "I am in the middle of remaking a Pokemon fossil found in the Unova region, from professor Juniper in fact. So if you come with me..." he turned and set off at a brisk pace into the main room, where red could see a machine with a stone inside. The screen next to it was showing lines of code flying across the screen, with it analyzing a fossil. The professor handed each of the boys a green tinted pair of goggles. "Just in case." He explained. As soon as they put them on, he turned to the screen, and started typing. They heard the machine begin to whir, and the floor beneath the fossil drop and take it down with it. A female monotone called out. "Fossil entered, beginning recreation." The screen showed the fossil having parts of it taken away, scanned for DNA, and rebuilt. Slowly, the screen showed some sort of Pokemon being formed. It had flippers, and had a large shell covering it. Finally, when it was finished, the machine spoke again. "Fossil transformation complete. Scanning…." The machine made a low drone. "Scan shows fossil to be a Tirtouga. Pokedex number; 564." The large bulky side of the machine opened, to reveal a baby Tirtouga, looking up sleepily from its million year old slumber. "Tog?" it called out blearily. The professor smiled.
"Red, I think we've gotten you your Pokemon."
