I don't know why, but I always get excited at the start of a new region. Last chapter wasn't very exciting or good, by that will change from here on out! How will Owen do in this new region? What Pokemon will he catch? Will there be any new rivals? Find out by reading this story! P.S: I will be posting another poll in an hour so be sure to check my profile!

Owen's team

Treecko, level 5, Pound, Leer


Owen and Treecko continued down Route 1, battling any Pokemon that appeared.

"Treeko, use Pound!" Treecko was battling a red caterpillar that was one of the more common Pokemon found on the first route. Treecko smacked the foe Pokemon with his tail, and the caterpillar was knocked out. "Nice job Treecko!" Owen cheered. Treecko picked up a small twig off of the ground and put it in his mouth like a toothpick. Treecko jumped up onto Owen's shoulder and the two of them reached a small town.

"Welcome to Oldale town! Here is a potion so you remember to check out the Pokemarts," the clerk told Owen and his starter. Owen took the strange bottle that had some kind of liquid in it. Owen put the bottle in his green backpack, and the trainer and his Pokemon went to the northern exit of Oldale town, thinking that it was the way to get to the next town or city. Owen and Treecko saw that they had reached a dead end where the ocean was to their right, and a bunch of grass was right in front of them.

"Hey! Are you Owen?" a girl asked. She wore a sleeveless green shirt, a green bandana, and a green purse. She was maybe a year younger than Owen, so she was 10.

"Yeah, why?" he asked the girl that was in all green. She looked at Treecko, who was moving the twig around with his mouth.

"Professor. Birch told me that a trainer was coming here to get a Pokemon," she said. "I'm May and I just got my first Pokemon!"

"I'm Owen...well I guess you already knew that. Do you want to have a battle?" he asked May. The girl was caught off guard, and Treecko hopped off of Owen's shoulder and started to stretch for battle.

"Yeah, sure! Go, Torchic!" A small orange chicken with yellow hair appeared in front of May. It had two skinny legs, a sand colored beak, and a wad of hair stuck straight up on its head.

"Do you want first move?" Owen asked politely.

"No, you go first." Owen nodded, and the battle began.

"Treecko, use Pound!" Treecko slammed his tail into Torchic's face, causing Torchic to skid across the ground. May covered her face so she didn't see Torchic get hurt.

"Torchic, use Scratch!" she yelled. Torchic ran towards Treecko and scratched him with its talons. Treecko brushed off the attack and lunged towards Torchic.

"Treecko, use Leer quickly!" Treecko dashed towards Torchic and then gave it a scary look. Torchic jumped back in fear much to the dismay of May.

"Torchic, use Growl!" Torchic growled softly, and Treecko seemed unaffected bu the stat changing attack.

"Treecko, let's finish this with Pound!" Treecko smashed Torchic into a tree, knocking the fire type Pokemon out. Treecko retreated back to his trainer and looked at May.

"Nice battle. I can't believe you've never battled before!" May yelled as she withdrew Torchic. Owen began to rub the back of his neck sheepishly.

"I have battled before. I came in ninth at the Silver Conference and fifth in the Indigo League," he told the younger girl who was now salivating.

"Oh, Professor. Birch told me to tell you that Professor. Oak and Elm say good luck," May told Owen as she smiled happily. Treecko turned to Owen with a confused look on his face as he heard that two different professors talked to Owen.

"Thanks, good luck to you on your adventure," Owen told the girl as he walked away. May sat in the field and she was about to call for Owen's attention, but she stopped herself before she could.

"You too," she sighed as the 11 year old boy disappeared int Oldale town.

Owen and Treecko made their way to the Pokemon center and Owen immediately went to the video chat area. He called Professor. Oak, who immediately answered the call.

"Owen! How is the Hoenn region?" he asked the young boy. Owen made sure that Treecko wasn't on the screen and he began to talk to the professor.

"It's great! I got my new starter, Treecko!" Owen exclaimed as he held Treecko up to the screen. The green gecko waved to the Kanto professor, who waved back.

"Have you caught any Pokemon yet?" Owen slouched sadly when the professor asked the dreaded question.

"No, but me and Treecko have found two Pokemon that keep fighting us. It's kind of like Rattata and Pidgey on Route 1," Owen told Professor. Oak. "Well, Treecko and I have to go to get our first gym badge. I'll talk to you later," Owen told the elderly man as he ended the video chat. The two made their way out of the small town and onto Route 102.

In the distance, a figure stalked Owen and Treecko.

"I swear, I will finish you!" the masked trainer vowed.


The masked trainer is back with a vengeance! I know that this was a short chapter, but I'll make sure to fire off at least 15 chapters of at least 1,000 words. And before anybody asks, no. Owen will not catch a Wurmple or Zigzagoon. He will catch...actually I'll just let you all find out, hahaha! So who do you think Owen is going to catch next? I actually am still trying to figure out his team, so any input would be greatly appreciated. Till next time, I'm off.
