Alex woke up several minutes later, he found himself inside a house.

"Uhhhh.." Alex mumbled, "where the hell am I?"

He sat up and scanned the room, he was sitting on a soft, comfy sofa with the T.V on in front of him, he looked around the room to see plants and decorations, he noticed a picture on the wall showing an old man with a Nidoqueen.

"No way.." Alex said to himself, "I'm in that grumpy old mans house?"

"Yep, that's me.." Said the old man walking in the room with his Nidoqueen, the old man sat in an armchair opposite to Alex, while the Nidoqueen motioned Alex to move his feet so it could sit with him.

"Aren't you angry with me?" Asked Alex with fear in his eyes.

"Of course, i am, you broke into my field! " Exclaimed the old man, "but I couldn't let my Seviper kill you, could I?"

"Th-that was your Seviper?" Asked Alex, standing up, as he stood up he felt a shooting pain in his neack, he put his hand there and felt bite marks, he winced and sat back down.

"Don't stand up." The old man said, "that bite will hurt for a while. And yes, that Pokemon was mine, but i wasn't meaning for him to hurt ya like that, just to scare ya away, the stories people tell about getting beaten by my Pokemon is a bunch of baloney, I just send out my Pokemon to scare away any theives.."

"Wait, how do you even have a Seviper? We're in the Kanto region, not Hoenn." Alex asked.

"Well, i used to travel back when i was younger." The old man explained, "i've had my Seviper for about 10 years now, he's gettin' old.."

"Wow, you must have had some great adventures, old ma-- i mean, errm.."

"My name is Vince, and yeah, i sure had some adventures back in the day.." Vince said, daydreaming.

"What Pokemon do you have?" Alex asked curiously.

"Well i'll show ya!" Vince excliamed getting 5 pokeballs out of his bag on the floor.

Vince sent out 5 Pokemon, the Seviper from earlier, a Beedrill, a Magmar, a Zubat, and an Ekans.

"Wow.." Alex was amazed, seeing Vinces Pokemon made Alex's dream of being a Pokemon master even stronger.

"Oh my gosh! What's the time? My mom will be worried sick!" Alex exclaimed.

"You're right, kid, you'd better go!" Vince replied.

Alex picked up his coat from the coat rack in the hall and zoomed out the door, he was running as fast as he could, he imagined how much of a panic his mom must have been in by that time.

He got back to his house in about 5 minutes, a record time for him, he wasn't usually a fast runner, he unlocked the door and bundled into the house.

"Mom! I'm here..!" Alex shouted.

"ooh thank goodness!" Alex's mom exclaimed running over and giving him a hug, "I had the whole town looking for you! Where have you been?"

Alex explained everything that happened, and how he wanted to be a Pokemon trainer more than ever before.

"Wow..I guess you really have your heart set on this then.." Alex's mom said.

"Definitely! I can't wait till tomorrow when i get my first Pokemon!" Alex exclaimed.

Alex knew that by the time his 13th Birthday was over, his life would have changed forever, but the changes that happened the next day were definitely not expected.
