Chapter 1

(7 years later)

The day begins on another beautiful morning in Twinleaf Town. Sunlight awakens a sleeping boy, with peanut butter skin, to reveal his blueberry eyes. As Dimitri awoke he smiled to himself, today was July 11, his tenth birthday. Today he would get his first Pokemon and set out on a journey to be a great coordinator just like his dad. Getting out of bed he goes into his bathroom to take what he knows may be the last shower he has at home for a while, making sure to enjoy every setting on his shower-head. Next Dimitri ran into his walk-in closet, running out ten minutes later dressed in black pants and shoes and a blue sweater. Finally he sits in front of the mirror fixing his hair so that his dreadlocks hang perfectly over his left eye. Soon after he headed downstairs and was immediately greeted by his dads.

"Morning. Are you excited for today?" asks Ruby.

"Of course, I finally get to bring elegance to the world of Pokemon." Dimitri responds as he continues to check his bag.

"I can't believe how much you're like Ruby." Gold chimes in as Dimitri makes sure that all of his supplies are inside his blue messenger bag.

"Don't worry dad, I'm plenty like you."

"Oh yeah, how?"

"I may be a coordinator, but contests are different here in Sinnoh. The first round is appeals and the rest are battle rounds, where you show off your Pokemon. So I'll still be in battles just like you were."

"I'm still not quite convinced that you're like me."

"Dad, I promise, I'm plenty like you!"

"You know how you could prove that you're like me?"

Dimitri smirks and says "Get a paternity test?" Ruby and Gold look at each other while not saying a word. Noticing the silence in the room, Dimitri looks up at them. Realizing he made them sad, he quickly apologizes. "I'm sorry; I know you don't like it when I joke like that. And so you guys know I consider you my only parents."

"Don't mention it kid, really please don't. Now do you wanna prove that you picked up a thing or two from me or not?"

"I'd love to."

"Great then come over here." Dimitri walks over to Gold and stands in front of him with arms crossed while waiting for Gold to elaborate. "Uncross your arms and close your eyes." Dimitri closes his eyes and puts his arms at his sides as instructed. "Okay, open your eyes." There in Gold's hands to Dimitri's surprise is a Pokemon egg. "I raised a client's Pokemon for a while and one day I found an egg with them. The client didn't want it, so I thought this would be the perfect gift for you. After all when I was your age I hatched dozens of these."

"I'll try not to let you down."

"You could never let us down kiddo."

Ruby intervenes "I also have a present for you. I made you a new sweater. It has a conjoint pocket that so that you can keep the egg there."

"Carrying a Pokemon egg close to you strengthens the bond the two of you will have after it hatches." Gold adds. Dimitri takes off the sweater he's wearing and puts on his new one. He then takes the Pokemon egg and puts it in the pocket.

"The best part is that the sides of the pocket zip up so that the egg is always protected."

"Thanks guys. You have no idea what the two of you mean to me." Dimitri grabs his bag and puts it around his shoulder. Dimitri turns and heads for the door, but is stopped by Gold.

"Before you go we have two more things to give you. The first is 5,000 pokedollars, the second is goodbye hug." They all embrace and stay that way for a while because Ruby and Gold both know that starting out on a journey is very dangerous and bad things could happen. Even if they don't like it, they won't see Dimitri for a long time. When they finally let go Dimitri, he walks out the door and heads to Sandgem town, where Professor Rowan will give him a starter Pokemon; a partner; and a friend.
