CHAPTER 1: DESTINY

In a little town called "Pallet Town" there lived two ten year-old kids Delia and Giovanni. They've been best friends since as long as they could remember. Now today was the day when they were going to have to part ways because Giovanni was going to receive his first Pokemon and set out on his Pokemon Journey.

Giovanni lived with his dad; he never knew what happened to his mom. They'd gotten a divorce when he was very young and neither of them knew of her whereabouts now.

"Hey Giovanni, wake up"! yelled a girl from outside Giovanni's window. After hearing the familiar voice of his friend, Giovanni woke up instantly. He looked out the window and after realizing whom it was he opened it. "Oh, hi Delia"! said Giovanni happily. "Stop trying to flatter me and get your butt outta bed before all the Pokemon are gone, you do want to get your first Pokemon don't you!" said Delia. "Oh my gosh today is the day when I start my Pokemon journey!" said Giovanni shocked that he had forgotten. He had slept in his clothes the night before so he didn't have to worry about getting dressed.

He climbed right out the window since his room was on the main level of the house. He was wearing a black shirt with a skull, two black wristbands that had the Pokemon League logo on them, black jeans with two chains one on each side and black shoes. "C'mon we got to hurry Professor Oak is probably wondering where you are now" she said as she ran down the trail heading towards his lab with Giovanni right behind her.

After they had made it to the lab Giovanni frantically started banging on the door. "Professor! Professor!" Giovanni shouted. Proffessor Oak opened the door and greeted the two of them. He was a middle-aged man with a white lab coat on and brown hair. "Come on in" said Professor Oak. He led them into his lab. "You're the first one here Giovanni," said Professor Oak. "Ok enough yapping, show me the Pokemon before the others get here," said Giovanni. "You could be a little bit more nicer," said Delia. "Ah, I love eager trainers, let's see what I got" said Professor Oak. He took out three Pokeballs out of his lab coat. He opened them and let the Pokemon out. The first one was a grass-type called Bulbasaur. The second one was a fire-type called Charmander. And the third one was a water-type called Squirtle. "This is all you have!"yelled Giovanni. "A turtle, a lizard, and a plant!" "These are the starter Pokemon" informed Professor Oak.

"Don't you have anything better"! said Giovanni. "Well I do have a spare one, it's not exactly a starter pokemon, but it is fairly easy to train" said the middle-aged professor taking out a fourth pokeball out of his lab coat and handing it to Giovanni. "Pokeball go!" he said throwing the pokeball. A cat-like pokemon came out. "Hmm…a Meowth, now there's a fairly decent pokemon, I'll take it" said Giovanni. "Splendid, here's your Pokemon handbook and Pokeballs" said the Professor. (Note: The Pokedex hadn't been invented yet) Giovanni put the four empty Pokeballs on his belt. "Delia why so silent?" asked Giovanni. "It's just that I'm not going to see you in a long time since your going on a Pokemon Journey" she said. "Don't worry you'll see me again" he said. "Really?" she said cheering up. "I guarantee it, its destiny" said Giovanni.
