Blue was an average girl who lived on the outskirts of Pallet Town, leaving her to her own devices. Her father was a business worker at Silph Co. and her mother had travelled to some far off region when she was young. So most times, she was left at her house alone. She befriended many of the Pokemon that lived around that area, which was mainly Pidgeys and Rattatas. She also once took in a runaway Mr. Mime who has since become her housemate. One day they were laying around the house when they heard a radio announcement.
"If you happen be in Pallet Town and want to own a Bulbasaur, Charmander and Squirtle and are over the age of ten, come stop by my laboratory at 8 o'clock."
Blue looked at the clock. It was 7:45 and she was in no rush. She knew that not that many people live in Pallet Town so she would have a pretty much guaranteed to get a Pokemon. She got ready, putting on a light blue shirt, a pink skirt and a white hat. After she at breakfast, it was 8:00. She went outside and walked over to Professor Oak's lab, getting there at 8:05. She entered the lab the same time a boy with orange hair was leaving. When she got inside, she noticed the floor was all wet, there were leaves in the professor's coat and the room was in a general state of disorder. She walked over to the professor.
"What happened here?" she asked.
"Oh, a silly little Pokemon Battle." He pulled the last remaining leaves out of his coat. "I've always wanted to study Bulbasaur leaves." He paused for a second. "What did you say your name was?"
"Blue, I came for the starter Pokemon the radio said you would hand out."
"Ah, I see." Oak picked the last Pokeball off the table. "Unfortunately, you got here a little late, so this is the Pokemon I have left." He handed it over to Blue, who pressed the button on it, releasing a small little orange lizard Pokemon.
"Char, Charmander." Oak also gave her the last remaining package. "This is called a Pokedex. It can be used to access data on any Pokemon you see."
"Ahh," said Blue, "like a hi-tech almanac." Oak gave a confused look.
"I'm sure there are better words than almanac." Blue opened the package, finding a small tablet inside, the color of a dark navy. She pointed it at Charmander.
The flame on its tail indicates Charmander's life force. If it is healthy, the flame burns brightly."
"Well, thank you sir." Blue ran outside, her Charmander close behind. She ran back to her house, stopping only to pick up her Charmander when it got tired. After putting a couple things in a bag and grabbing her spare money collection, she walked to the Mr. Mime, named Cosmo, because she thinks he came from Mt. Moon.
"Cosmo," she said, "I'm about to go on my journey for -, well you know why." Cosmo nodded. "Do you want to come with me? Keep in mind you would have to walk everywhere, as I never technically caught you."
"Mime, mime," said Cosmo, nodding his head excitingly. Blue smiled and walked outside, gesturing for Cosmo to follow. She started walking down the path to Viridian City, because she had befriended most of the Pokemon, none wanted to fight her. Eventually one Rattata, unknown to Blue, stepped up to fight her.
"Ah, a challenger approaches," says Blue. Cosmo stepped forward to fight, but Blue ushered him back. "I think we should try out the new guy." She took Charmander's Pokeball and released him.
"Char!" said Charmander, ready to battle. Blue giggled.
"Okay, start off with Ember." Charmander fired a long stream of fire at the Rattata. It staggered back a step, but got back in battle formation before pouncing at Charmander. Charmander didn't look fazed.
'Good job, take it like a champ. Use Scratch." Charmander ran up and scratched the Rattata with his claws. However, he remained persistent. He ran forward and rammed against Charmander.
"Finish him off with Ember." Charmander fired another stream of fire at Rattata, doing enough damage for him to faint. Charmander let out a victory roar. Blue giggled again.
"Good job. Let's keep going." She recalled him to his Pokeball and kept on walking with Cosmo. She eventually managed to reach Viridian City. She walked into a building with a red roof. The sign on the front said Pokemon Center. When she walked in there was a lady with pink hair behind the counter.
"Welcome to the Pokemon Center. We heal your Pokemon for free." Blue walked up and handed her Charmander's Pokeball. She put the ball in a machine and after a few seconds, took it out and handed it back. "We hope to see again."
Slightly confused, Blue went outside and this time went into a building with a blue roof. The sign on the front said PokeMart.
Inside there was a slue of items ranging from Pokeballs to Antidotes. Also, standing at the counter was a short blonde girl in a straw hat.
