The Beginning to a Pokemon Journey
It was morning in New Bark Town, the sun was rising over the horizon waking up the folks and kids that are ready to begin, including an 11-year-old bluenette. In the lovely home near the lake, Crystal, was sleeping in her bed in her own bedroom peacefully dreaming while mumbling drowsily in her sleep.
"Crystal! Wake up!" Crystal's mom called loudly from downstairs.
The sleeping bluenette woke up frightened with a jump from the unexpected yell from her mother and landed on her bed. She scanned her spotless room for any trouble franticly until she bent her head down murmuring disappointedly, "Aw, I was having a good dream."
She sat up in her light blue pajamas and stretched her muscles out relaxing. "Today's another day!" She cheered joyfully as she jumped off her bed and began to dress swiftly. She was brushing her frizzed bed hair with her favorite brush and tied her pigtails with her two pink bands. She dressed in her white and pink jacket with a yellow turtleneck underneath, short white pants, white sneakers, and a yellow cap on her head. She turned around in front of her mirror gussying up before she winked and said, "Perfect!"
She ran downstairs and found her mom and the neighbor's wife sitting at the table waiting for her. She looked up to see her daughter coming down the stairs and smiled saying, "Aw, Crystal, you're up. Our neighbor, Prof. Elm, was looking for you. He wants you to do something for him. He's over at his lab."
"Really? I wonder what it is?" she wondered to herself aloud as she ran down the stairs slowly.
She was about to go to the door when her mom stood up and said, "Oh, honey, your Pokegear is back from the shop. You'll need it just incase." She walked over and handed her the fixed Pokegear and continued to say, "I put the house phone number in there, and so you don't have to worry about anything."
"Thanks." She put the Pokegear in her backpack as her mom smiled at her warmly. "I better go and see Prof. Elm. I'll see you later, Mom!" she called running out of the house while her mother called back, "See you later, baby!" Crystal raced to the door and headed out leaving her home. The young bluenette ran from her home and headed towards the Prof. Elm's lab through the friendly neighborhood waving at the neighbors. When she saw the lab up ahead, her heart raced at the idea of her first Pokemon on her own journey by herself. She reached the door and noticed a shadow looming over some trees around the corner of the house.
She curiously walked up and sneaked a peek around the corner to see a redhead boy looking through the window of Prof. Elm's lab. "Who is he? What is he doing?" she asked herself. She sneaked up behind the mysterious redhead and looked at what he's looking at. It was Prof. Elm testing out the three starter Pokemon with his assistant.
She heard him mumbling something and sneaked up on him more until she heard him say, "…So, this is famous Elm Pokemon Lab."
He stood up from his position and turned quickly to miss hitting the poor girl. He jumped back shocked to find someone behind him watching and said annoyed, "…What are you staring at?" He quickly grabbed her and threw her around the corner making her land on the dirty ground before he scoffed and returned back to his former spot. She stood up slowly and dusted the dirt off her jacket and her pants.
"What a jerk! What is he doing spying on Prof. Elm? Whatever, it's none of my business. Now, to see what Prof. Elm wants." She muttered to herself before she went inside the lab. She walked inside to see the lab filled with computers and finished experiments all sat on tables. She walked to the back room to find Prof. Elm with the three pokeballs and his assistant.
Prof. Elm turned around and smiled at his visitor delightful saying, "Crystal! There you are!"
"Hi, Professor. Is there anything you want me to do for you?" She asked walking towards the professor and stood in front of him.
"Yes, I needed to ask you a favor. I'm conducting new Pokemon research right now. I was wondering if you could help me with it, Crystal."
"Sure, what is it exactly?"
"You see, I'm writing a paper that I want to present at a conference, but there are some things I don't quite understand yet." He explained to her while the assistant walked over to the computers near the door.
"Really?"
"Yes. So! I'd like you to raise a Pokemon that I recently caught, do you accept?"
She stood there silently and thought long and hard before she replied cheerfully, "Sure, I'd love to!"
"Thanks, Crystal! You're a great help! When I announce my findings, I'm sure we'll delve a bit deeper into the many mysteries of Pokemon. You can count on it!" His computer screen flashed repeatedly until he ran over and clicked onto his computer. "Oh, hey! I got an e-mail! Hm…uh-huh. Okay…" he read the e-mail with a serious expression.
He walked back towards her and said, "Hey, listen. I have an acquaintance called Mr. Pokemon. He keeps finding weird things and raving about his discoveries. Anyway, I just go an e-mail from him saying that this time it's real. It is intriguing, but we're busy with our Pokemon research. Wait! I know! Crystal, can you go in our place?"
"Well, sure, Prof. Elm!" she answered happily to be of service.
He walked over to his desk with the pokeballs and stood by it. "Good, now, please pick up your Pokemon. You'll be the Pokemon's first partner, Crystal. Go on, pick on!" He urged her elated showing the three pokeballs lying on his desk.
She walked up to the table and analyzed the three before she asked him, "What's in this pokeball?" she pointed to the first pokeball.
"That is the first Pokemon, Cyndaquil. It's a fire-type Pokemon."
"Oh. What about that one?" she pointed to the second pokeball.
"That's Totodile. That is a water-type Pokemon."
"What about the last one?"
"That is Chikorita, it's a grass-type Pokemon. So, which do you choose?"
She took a moment to decide which she'll pick until she made up her mind and picked up the last pokeball. "I'll take this one." She decided holding the red and white Pokemon capsule.
"Ah, you picked Chikorita. It's a great choice for you, Crystal." He nodded agreeing with her as she looked at her first Pokemon encased in the pokeball.
She hung her pokeball on her belt hanging around her hips and said, "I'm going to Mr. Pokemon's House before it gets dark. By the way, where does he live?"
"He lives a little bit beyond Cherrygrove City, the next city over. It's almost a direct route there, so you can't miss it. But just in case, here's my phone number. Call me if anything comes up!" he grabbed Crystal's Pokegear from her bag and inserted his phone number into its database.
He handed it back to her as she set it back in her bag. "If you're Pokemon is hurt, you should heal it with this machine. Feel free to use it anytime." He suggested wisely pointing to the big machine beside him.
"Okay, thanks again, professor." She waved goodbye as Prof. Elm called out, "Crystal, I'm counting on you!" She raced rapidly out the door and started to head towards Cherrygrove City. She moved past the neighbors and the kids cautiously avoiding colliding into anyone before she even got outside of her hometown.
Once she got out of New Bark Town, she picked up her pokeball and threw it making it pop opened to reveal Chikorita smiling happily. "Chika, Chika!" it laughed joyfully glad to be out of its pokeball and meet its trainer for the first time.
"Hi, Chikorita. I'm Crystal, I'm your new trainer." She introduced herself warmly to the small dinosaur Pokemon.
"Chika!" it nodded back exuberant.
"Chikorita, ready for our journey to be the best team that Johto has ever seen?"
"Chikorita!" it said nodding along as Crystal smiled at her Pokemon before they started out experiencing her journey with her Chikorita.
