Prologue
The day had finally arrived. I was going to become a Pokémon trainer, finally. As soon as I woke up I got out of bed and ran downstairs.
'Bye Ferlox,' I said to my friend Ferlox.
'Good luck Janet,' he replied. 'And good luck to Sand-Cloud and Gelby. And to Luke.'
I smiled and ran as fast as I could to Pallet Town. I went straight to Gelby's house. She was asleep in bed.
'Come on Gelby,' said her older sister, Gelba. 'Janet's here to take you. Today's the day, remember?'
Gelby got out of bed.
'I'm coming,' she yawned.
'Hurry up,' I said. 'Sand-Cloud will be waiting.'
Gelby climbed up and sat on my shoulders. We waved goodbye to Gelba and hurried to the Mushroom Kingdom. We met Sand-Cloud at her house.
'What took you so long?' she asked.
'Gelby was asleep,' I laughed. Sand-Cloud groaned and followed us to the Kairan Kingdom. To get there we had to go through the Whirlpool Kingdom, so we decided to stop by and see if our friend Luke (who was also becoming a trainer) had left yet. We found him walking through the Kingdom, also on his way to Kairan.
'Hi Luke,' I called. He turned around.
'Hey, Janet,' he said.
'I can't believe we're finally becoming trainers,' I said. Luke smiled and we walked together all the way to the Kairan Kingdom. When we got there we found the house of Dr Orien.
'Ah, Luke,' he said. 'And Team Yellow. You're finally here. Come inside.'
We followed him into his house. Inside we saw four other trainers, including Dr Orien's son, Mitch. Mitch used to be Luke's best friend, but I didn't like him at all. And, he didn't like me at all. Basically, we were rivals, even before becoming pokémon trainers.
'I'm so glad you could make it Janet,' Mitch said sarcastically.
'OK everyone settle down,' said Dr Orien. 'Now I know you're all here to become pokémon trainers. Before I give you your pokédex, can you just tell me your names so I can register you as official pokémon trainers?'
'This is Luke the fluke,' said Mitch, pointing at Luke. 'And this is Janet the, um, er, granite?'
'I can think of plenty of things to rhyme with Mitch,' I said. 'Ditch, witch, pitch, itch, glitch, bi-'
'That's enough Janet,' said Dr Orien. 'You're here to get yourselves registered as pokémon trainers, not to fight. Of course, you will all be rivals from now on.'
'I know who my number one rival is,' said Mitch, glaring at me.
'Mitch,' warned Dr Orien. 'If you don't be quiet I won't give you your pokédex.'
That made Mitch shut up. Dr Orien then handed us our pokédexes and registered our names. He then handed each of us an ID card stating that we were official pokémon trainers, and our trainer's guides.
'Alright everyone,' said Dr Orien. 'You can all go your separate ways. I don't expect you to follow each other all the time. You are now individual trainers, alright? You can all go now. Mitch, before you go I want to give you something.'
Mitch grinned proudly at us all. He'd told us a thousand times that his father was going to give him a pokémon before he left.
'Well go on,' said Mitch. 'Have fun catching your first pokémon.'
He sneered at me as we left the house.
'Hold on Janet,' said Luke. 'Let's wait and see what he gets.'
I nodded. We looked through Mitch's window. We saw Dr Orien handing him a pokéball.
'Come on,' said Luke. 'Throw it!'
Just at that moment, Mitch threw his pokéball. A bulbasaur came out. Luke enthusiastically took out his pokédex.
'Bulbasaur,' it read, 'a plant and poison pokémon. A strange seed was planted on its back at birth. The seed sprouts and grows with this pokémon.'
'I like bulbasaurs,' I said. 'I wish I had one.'
'You'll never get any if we don't hurry up,' said Sand-Cloud.
'Yeah yeah,' I said. I started walking away when Mitch came out of the house.
'Hey Janet,' he said. 'You do realise, I'm going to become a pokémon master. And you'll never be one. And neither will your little friend Luke.'
'We'll see,' said Luke.
'At least we're not so bad that we have to be given our first pokémon,' I smirked.
'What do you mean your "first pokémon"?' said Mitch. 'You don't have any yet!'
'I'm giving them time to prepare themselves,' I said.
'Yeah, to prepare themselves for how bad you're going to be,' said Mitch.
'OK, break it up you two,' said Luke. 'I don't know about you, but I'm off to catch some pokémon. See ya!'
'Bye Luke,' I said. He turned his back and walked away. Before Mitch could say anything, I turned and walked back to the Reflexion Kingdom, where I would start my pokémon journey.
