And so, Austin set out on his adventure with his new Pokemon, Charmander. The first step he had to take was in Viridian City a small city not far from his own home, Pallet Town, he was sent to retrieve a parcel for Professor Oak. While walking Austin began to notice wild Pokemon near him, he took this as a chance for Charmander to battle with a wider variety of opposition. His first target was a Pidgey, a small bird like Pokemon, docile in nature, an ideal Pokemon for beginning trainers to cut their teeth on. Austin spotted one in sights and called out "Charmander, you're up!" And hurled Charmander's Pokeball. From a flash of white light Charmander appeared, ready to battle, calling out with a defiant "Char!"
The Pidgey looked at Charmander with a fear in its eyes, and jumped into the air and began to flap its wing, hurling a small tornado at Charmander, doing some damage. "That must be Pidgey's gust attack!" Austin thought, and yelled to Charmander, "Charmander, quick use scratch!" Charmander leaped up after the Pidgey and threw a slash with its claw, and the Pidgey went down, he had successfully knocked it out. "Alright, Charmander!" Austin exclaimed with joy, running over to pat Charmander on the head. "Charmander, char!" Charmander said with joy in its voice, and with that Austin continued on his way.
Then he spotted a small purple mouse like Pokemon, this was a Rattata. "Okay Charmander, get it!" Austin said, and Charmander leaped back into battle. The Rattata whipped its tail in a manor making a loud snapping sound, and Charmander leaned back a bit. That was tail whip, meant to lower the opponent's defense. Austin wanted to take this opportunity to try Charmander's newly learned attack. "Charmander, quick, use ember!" and Charmander nodded and said "Char!" and shot a small flurry of flaming embers, as they hit the Rattata it was visibly shaken and slightly damaged, "Now finish it up with scratch!" Austin yelled, with that, Charmander threw a swipe and down went its second match on the way. "This is great!" Austin thought, "Once we get to Viridian city, I'll get some more Pokeballs so I can catch some of these!
After about a half an hour Austin reached Viridian city and stopped into the Pokemart, and ask the shop keeper for Professor Oak's parcel. "Sure kid." The keeper said, handed Austin the package, and Austin was headed home again. When Austin arrived back home, he went to Oak's lab and gave him his package. "Why thank you, Austin," Oak said, "This is a special custom Pokeball made only for special events." Hearing that reminded Austin, "Um, Professor?" Austin began to ask. "Why yes Austin, what can I do for you?"
"The Pokemart in Viridian was out of Pokeball's today, and I'm eager to start catching my first Pokemon! After all, its part of what I have to do to become a Pokemon master isn't it?" Oak loved his enthusiasm "Why yes Austin, yes it is! I just happen to have some Pokeballs here in the lab you can have." He went into his desk and handed Austin 5 empty Pokeballs, but then Jack walked in the lab and said "I see your giving the moron some free stuff there, Gramps."
"Why yes, yes I was, Jack, he told me the Mart as all out when he got there." Jack got a smirk across his face and said, "Well I'd assume so. I bought the last five they had." Austin got a mad look in his eyes, "What a Jerk!" He thought as Jack chuckled. "Anyways, Gramps, what'd you call me back for?"
"Oh, that's right! You see boys, I wanted to give both of you one of these." Professor Oak pulled out two small, red, book like computers. "This is a Pokedex, it's a portable encyclopedia on Pokemon. It can tell you types, data on specific Pokemon, attacks, and even records when you catch a Pokemon! It is my dream to see one person catch them all someday, and I want to personally research them all. That's why I need you two to go out and catch all the different Pokemon you can!"
"Heh, Okay, sure." Jack said as he snatched the Pokedex from his Grandfather's hand. "Austin, now that I got this, I can guarantee, I'll become ten times the trainer you ever could, haha! Well, smell ya later!" Then Jack left, leaving a very irritated Austin behind. "Oh, don't let him get to you Austin. I believe in both of you to help me with my dream."
"Thank you professor, it's also my dream to become a Pokemon Master, this can help me with that quest!" Austin said, with a fiery passion in his voice. He took his Pokedex, showed the Professor his progress with Charmander so far, and with that he left, this time, he was more energetic than he was before, he was going to do better than Jack, and he was going to be a Pokemon Master!
