Chapter 1:
I walk through the forest slowly, walking towards the treeline. My Hitmonchan walks beside me with his slow strides. I use my hands to cover my eyes as we step out from the shade of the trees, blocking them from the full force of the light. I look out over the town I was born in and moved my hand down to my side. "It's time to start on our journey, Cesh." I say to my hitmonchan. He simply nodded and puffed his breath as we started to walk.
We walk along a path through a field of vibrant flowers. I walked slowly, taking in the scents. "It's certainly different from the forest." I chirped to Cesh as we walked. "Hit!" Cesh replied, with a happy tone. We walked into town and I tapped my hip. Cesh looked at me and I sighed, "Sorry buddy, but you have to go back into the ball until we go." Cesh just chimed and I set him back into the ball.
I looked around and spied the different buildings in the area. I figured it'd probably be best to stop at the Pokemon center to register for the Pokemon league, seeing as I want to challenge the strongest trainers. I started walking to the Pokemon center while looking around at all the faces going on with their lives. I reached the Center and the doors slid open quickly, causing the cool air from inside to breeze past my face. I stepped in and looked around, figuring that I could probably go on relatively smoothly.
I strolled my way up to the front desk and set my elbows on the counter. The woman working the front smelled lovely. She smelled more of roses than the outside does. "Welcome to the Pokemon center," she greeted with a light tone, "how may I help you?" I tapped my hands on the counter and spoke with a matching tone. "Ah, where would I go about getting a trainer card?" "Right here, sir." She replied.
I perked up and smiled, "Well can I get one?" I asked with an excited tone.
"Of course sir." She replied while nodding.
I bounced slightly as she pulled out a blank card.
"Let's get started." She said while aiming a camera at me.
I smiled and she took a picture, then set the card into a machine. "What's your name?" She asked.
"I"m Zulen Nev." I said with a happy tone.
"Alright Zulen," She said as she typed and the machine hummed quietly as it worked. "Here you are." She said as she pulled the card from the machine and handed it to me.
"Thank you," I said, trying to keep my excitment from showing. "Have a nice day." I spoke again as I turned and walked out.
I cheered happily as I stepped outside. People started to stare at me so I composed myself, but continued to cheer on the inside. After the initial excitment was over, I turned my attention to the Pokemon gym. " It's time to go." I whispered to myself as I began walking towards it. I walked inside and a blast of grass smell shot into my nose. I breathed out and I looked around the lobby, scanning the room to see where I can sign up to challenge the gym leader.
There was no one in the room, so I crossed my arms. "I want to challenge the gym leader, but I can't do that when no one is here." I said, disappointed. I turned around and started to walk out as a voice suddenly rung out. "You want to challenge me?" a woman's voice spoke. I stopped and turned around to see who it was. "I'm Gardenia, the gym leader."
