Ginan Montgomery sat on her bed, feeling miserable. Today was THE day, the day she would have to start her pokemon journey. She did not want to leave Newbark town. She had a comfortable life, a good school, and plenty of freinds. Now she was being forced to travel across the whole damn Johto region. Her parents insisted it was a part of growing up, even if they had let Ginan postpone it for four years, until she was fourteen.
She pulled on jeans, a purple hoodie, and some purple boots, grabbed her backpack packed with everything she needed, and headed downstairs. Her mother was standing in the kitchen. Ginan sat down and quickley and ate a bowl of cereal.
"Im just going to miss you so much!" her mother exclaimed at last.
"Then dont make me go!" Ginan retorted angrily, rolling her eyes.
"No! You have to do this, like all children your age!" her mother responded firmley. "And this is for you, your starter pokemon.", she said, giving Ginan a red and white sphere known as a pokeball.
Ginan enlarged it, and released what was inside. It was a small purple monkey; an Aipom.
"I thought it fit you perfectley." her mother said cheerfully. "Oh, you must get going!" she remarked, glancing at the clock. She ushered Ginan out the door, and out into the world.
All Ginan could think of to do was to head to Cherrygrove, the next nearest town, and plan her next move from there. To keep her company she sent out her Aipom. It trotted happily next to her, sometimes jumping onto her head.
"Hey, I should catch a freind for you!" Ginan said. Her Aipom nodded vigrously, indicating he thought that was a good idea. "That one's perfect!" Ginan declared, pointing to a racoon like brown rodent; Sentret. She lobbed an empty pokeball from her pack at it, and it went in...only to pop right back out, Aipom tittering dissaprovingly. "Oh, right you have to weaken it...in that case use scratch!" the girl commanded.
Aipom jumped into action, scartching Sentret. It squeled and ran off.
"Dang it!" Ginan yelled kicking a rock in dissapointment, "I liked that one!" Suddenly, she heard a small scream from a nearby bush, she ran over to it, finding a small Eevee. Just as she walked over, another figure ran towards it.
"Eevee there you are, don't l wander off like that, you scared me!" the figure called. As they got closer, Ginan realized it was a girl with wavy brown hair pulled into a ponytail, wearing a gray sweatshirt and jeans, a fox like creature known as Ninetails ran alongside her. She scooped up the Eevee, she noticed Ginan and smiled.
"You look like a beginner, are you lost?" she asked.
"Well, I just started my journey, and I'm headed to Cherrygrove town, so I'm not lost, luckily.", Ginan answered.
"Oh, well pleased to meet you, my name is Angelica Ties." the girl said, smiling warmly.
"Im Ginan, and this is my Aipom, its a pleasure to meet you too." Ginan responded.
