Hey Guys! Sorry for not updating sooner! I was busy on the weekend, and I just happened to be sick today so I thought "Why not". So here ya go, enjoy the chapter! ^_^

Shocks ran through my veins as I quickly sat up in my seat. My body was quivering franticly as I tried to calm myself. Wearing a coating of sweat, I realized that my ear drums were popped, 'My ears are popped? That only happens…. Oh…' My mother was in the seat adjacent to mine, when she turned to me, her face fell into a frown.
"Tyson, you alright honey?" She asked with a worried tone. I loved my mother, yet she had the problem of over reacting… to EVERYTHING! I gave her a curt nod, confirming that I was okay; somewhat confused and sweaty, but overall I was fine. "Okay, well we're about to land, so get all you're gadgets and stuff together. And don't forget Axel's pokeball either".
Unzipping my carryon bag that rested at my feet, I quickly shoved all my gadgets that I didn't need with me into its depths. My hand then clasped around a small sphere that had resided at the bottom of the bag, it was a pokeball. Gleams of light reflected off the ball's shiny exterior. It was fairly new after all. I never went travelling anywhere after the incident, so it had nowhere and no way to become damaged. Three months ago, the Shinx that is inside the pokeball saved my life.
-FLASHBACK-
"Shinx?" The small Pokémon tilted it's head to the left, as it slowly approached my beaten down body. With my vision becoming hazy, and fatigue settling in, I forced myself to my feet, and began to limp down the alley, to my home.
Rain pelted my bare face and arms, as I slowly traversed the sidewalk. Attempting to avoid every puddle, and there were a lot of them; basically the sidewalk could almost be described as a river. Turning the corner, my arm rested atop a cement post. Eyes drifting upwards, I read the number of the apartment complex. Warmth seeped into my bones as I climbed the cement stairs.
Once inside, I started to ascend the many flights of torturous stairs, until I would reach my floor. During that time, a weird feeling was developing in my mind. I felt as if I was being watched, or even; being followed…
Arriving at the door to my home, my battered hands fumbled for the key that resided in my pocket, only for me to take out a few pieces on lint, and a gum wrapper. Knowing I had lost my key on the way home, I banged on the door with the side of my fist.
Creaking sounds vibrated throughout the hallway, as the door opened with a rush of air, and my mother embraced me in a tight hug. But, before she rushed me inside to tend to my injuries, she glanced down and gasped. Confusion tore through my mind, as I also turned around, and saw who my stalker was. I knelt down as my hand rested upon the Shinx's head.
-END OF FLASHBACK-
Ever since then, my mother has been treating Axel like a king. But, she sometimes gave him too much attention, and he would hide in numerous places to avoid her suffocating love. Well, he did save my life; so of course my mother would be over joyed and be obsessed over her only son's savior. Luckily her little obsession ended right before we decided to move. My mother declared that Veilstone City was, and I quote; "Too dangerous for her little boy to grow up in". But no matter how much I told her I didn't want to move, I eventually agreed to the idea. I had no real friends in Veilstone City or in Sinnoh for that matter. So moving to Kanto would be a fresh start for my mother and me. Also, I wanted to go on my journey as a trainer soon. And because I had a racist teacher for Biology and Region Studies (Same teacher, different classes) I only knew about Pokémon from Sinnoh.
I clipped Axel's pokeball to my belt, as a soft, yet stern; feminine voice came over the PA.
"Attention all passengers, we will be landing at Viridian International Airport momentarily. Thank you for flying with Kanto Airlines." I gazed out my window to the land below, only for me to see a small figure sitting on the wing of the plane. I blinked a few times and looked again, only for the spot it had been sitting was empty. Was it real? I was sure I had seen a pink cat thing, sitting on the plane.
Shrugging my shoulders, I directed my attention to the ground below. Dense forests housing a few lakes here and there surrounded the airport, off in the distance I could see a large mountain range, although; it seemed to be made of only one mountain.
"Ah, yes. The beauty that is Mount Silver, fascinating isn't it? It's crazy that just one mountain can separate two regions." My head whipped around 90 degrees to see a man that was in the seat behind me, but had stood up somewhat. He seemed to be around his early 20's, with spikey; brownish-orange hair. His upper body was covered by a sleek, dark black jacket, with a dark orange collar. Navy blue jeans, and black sneakers completed his attire as I stared at the man.
Snapping out of his daze, the man turned to me with a smile. His hand reached over the seats, as if asking for a handshake. "Sorry if I startled you, I have a problem of doing that to people." He admitted sheepishly, I quickly shook his hand and tried to dismiss his presence. Being not very fond of new people made me seem rude at first, yet surprisingly I heard the man's voice continue on.
"So, I am assuming that you are new to Kanto?" he said with a perplexed tone. Swiveling in my seat I gave him a curt nod. "Well, let me be the first native to say welcome! Also, the name's Gary. Gary Oak." Eyes widening, I pointed at him and my mouth dropped open in awe.
"Gary Oak?! As in the Gary Oak, that is one of; more or less the most powerful Trainers in Kanto?! And the grandson to Professor Oak?!" The words escaped my mouth so quickly I barely had time to register them in the brain. A small smirk appeared on his face as he confirmed my questions.
"The one and only! But I wouldn't say the most powerful. There are a few others that are just as good." He stated with a wave of his hand. Now, just because I knew nothing about any Pokémon from Kanto, doesn't mean I didn't know anything about Kanto. My Kanto knowledge mostly covered information about the most powerful trainers, the elite four, the gym leaders and the professor.
Gary stopped smiling for a second as his eyes focused on me, then his eyes seemed to light up. "Wait a minute, your that new kid from Sinnoh that's moving here aren't you? Tyson Atlas I presume?"
A puzzled look adorned my face. "Yeah that's me. How'd you know?"
"Well," he started comically "when gramps found out a new to-be trainer was moving here, he couldn't stop talking about it. There hasn't been many new trainers lately so he was overjoyed. Also, you are wearing heavier clothing, well Sinnoh does happen to be the coldest region so it's a given."
Vibrations shot through my body as the plane came into contact with the hot cement. After we departed the plane, I said goodbye to Gary and watched as he strolled outside the airport and took a pokeball from his belt. The sphere opened up and a beam of red light shot out, and suddenly there was a massive bird in front of Gary. He quickly jumped onto the feathered beast and sat on it's back, waving to us as the avian shot into the sky. Awestruck at just seeing my first Kanto Pokémon, I was in a daze until we left the building. And oh my gosh…. was it ever warm here! Being the middle of summer here, it was quite the shock being in this weather. Even though it was summer in Sinnoh it was still colder than this! Air rushed into my lungs as I took a big breath of air. This is it, my new home. Well, not in Viridian. Wait, where were we even moving to?!
"Uhhh mom, where are we exactly moving to?" I said in a confused fashion. She turned to me with a big smile from ear to ear.
"You shall see when we get there." 'Oh great, that's reassuring' Soon enough a taxi arrived for us, and as I was lifting the luggage into the trunk of the shuttle, I heard my mom whispering to the cab driver. 'Better not eavesdrop. Its only ever gotten me into trouble'
After nearly 2 hours of driving I decided to look out the window. As I was extremely bored, and didn't know how much longer this ride would take. My eyes instantly focused on a sign which read –Route 1-
'Oh boy…'
