Chapter 1: I Choose You!

"As this heated battle for the title of World Class Pokemon Trainer continues, Spike's Charizard defeats Brony's Ponyta, leaving the two Trainers to start a battle that can give one the title of glory and the other…. nothing. Nervously, Brony sends out his final Pokemon, which turns out to be none other than his famous Swampert. Charizard leaps in for a real sharp Dragon Claw, but it looks like Swampert has dug a hole and escaped. Where will it come out of? Spike is starting to look confused, people. Finally, Swampert comes out of the ground and JUST BARELY misses Charizard. Having enough, both trainers decide to Mega Evolve their Pokemon. Boy, do they look sweet! Hang on a second! That Charizard shouldn't be blue! Anyways, looks like this is the time for their final moves. Spike calls out for a Blast Burn, while Brony calls out for a Hydro Cannon. Both move seemed to have made contact and created some sort of fog. The smoke is starting to clear up, and the winner of this year's World Class Championship is….."

"Kyle, it's practically midnight by now! Shouldn't you be asleep?" yells Mom from the kitchen.

"I'm just watching the World Class Championship to get ready for my big day tomorrow!"

"Well then, if you want to get ready for tomorrow, then you should probably hit the hay!" shouts back Mom.

"Alright then!"

Tomorrow is the day I get my very first Pokemon from Professor Juniper. Ever since the letter came a week ago, I have been marking the days off in my calendar. I can't wait to leave Nuvema Town and become the next World Class Champion!

Thinking about this, I just can't sleep. Who will I possibly pick? Snivy, the Grass Type? He sure looks pretty slick and clever. What about Tepig? I bet that guy could burn anything. Oshawott's an option, too! He could surf his way through a whole ocean like it was nothing!

Who will my friends Brian and Zach choose? They have been waiting for this day as much as I have! Whoever we choose, I hope that they are the match for us…..

"Chimchar, are you ready?" asked Evelyn as her airplane finally landed onto the ground.

"Chim, Chim, Char!" responded the little fire monkey, bursting with joy.

"We're finally in Nuvema Town! Can you believe it? Wow, a whole new region! It's probably way different than Sinnoh! I can't wait to explore it with you!"

"Chim, Chimchar!"

Suddenly, the overhead speaker said, "Thank you for choosing Starly Airlines! You may now gather your belongings and set foot into Unova."

As I rushed to Professor Juniper's lab, my friends Brian and Zach hurried close behind me.

"You ready, guys?" I asked them.

"Yeah!" they responded.

Gasping for air, we finally reached the lab. The professor was waiting for us inside. "Good morning, boys! I hope you are all ready."

"We sure are!" we responded in unison.

"Okay then, let's pull them out! We have Snivy, the Grass Snake Pokemon! Tepig, the Fire Pig Pokemon! And last but not least, Oshawott, the Sea Otter Pokemon! Now, who would like to go first?"

"I will!" shouted Zach as he ran to the PokeBalls. As he hummed nervously, he made a grab for his partner. "Oshawott, I choose you!" He threw the PokeBall in the air and Oshawott gracefully landed in his arms.

"I'll go next!" yelled Brian as he ran to the Pokemon. " Tepig, I choose you!"

"That leaves Kyle with Snivy," said Professor Juniper.

"Great! That's who I would've chosen anyways. Snivy, come on out!" I exclaimed excitedly!

Snivy came out of its PokeBall and landed on my head. "Sny, Snivy!" it shouted happily as it danced around my hat. I started to laugh.

"Well then, since you've all been somewhat acquainted with your partners, I will give you your Pokedexes." Professor Juniper handed out some machines that apparently gathered data about Pokemon. "You all know how to use them, right?"

"Yes, 'mam!" we shouted as we got information about each others' Pokemon.

"Snivy, the Grass Snake Pokemon. Cool, calm, and collected, Snivy used photosynthesis to collect energy with the leaf on its tail."

"Tepig, the Fire Pig Pokemon. Normally, fire shoots out of Tepig's snout, but it shoots out smoke instead when it is feeling ill."

"Oshawott, the Sea Otter Pokemon. Oshawott attacks and defends using the scalchop that can be removed from its stomach."

Wow! I couldn't believe it! I got my first partner, Snivy! Now I could go around the region, get some gym badges, and become the Champion!

"Now boys, are you ready for the tasks ahead of you? Are you ready to grow with your Pokemon and explore Unova?" asked Professor Juniper.

"Yes, mam!"
