Chapter 3: New Beginnings
Thomas awoke. He had the dream again. Not even the dream could get him down today. He was 11 now. This was the day his mom promised he could go to New Bark Town. Every time he asked how they would go down she would say, "You'll see!" He didn't feel any older though. His mom had been hugging and talking to him all week because she knew that living way up high on a mountain and on the other side of an ice cavern she would not see him for a very, very long time. He sat in bed for a while. It was still early, around 7:00 am. His Mom was probably making him a breakfast omelet and his sister Leslie was probably pasting together a birthday card. Thomas decided to sit in his bed a while and just when he thought he could smell his breakfast he ran down stairs to find it completely empty. There was a note on the table that said "Happy Birthday Hun, I took Leslie to Susie's then I have to run some errands around town. You can make your self some waffles and or wait for me at noon. Love ya, Mom" Thomas looked at the clock. It was 8:00 AM. Thomas sighed and grabbed some waffles. After breakfast he sat and played Super Smash Bros: Melee on his Game Cube until noon.
"Hey Thomas!" Thomas' mom re-appears.
"Oh, hi!" Thomas shut off the Game Cube and walked over to his mom who was holding a package and a metal saucer. "What are those for?" Thomas asked.
"You'll see," said his Mom, "come with me please" Thomas followed his mom outside to the edge of the mountain. "Now Thomas," his mom began while putting the saucer on the ground. "Put this in your bag and open it at the bottom. It is from your sister, you will find my present to you in side Professor Elm's lab. Now, sit down on this saucer while I put the package in your pack." She slid the package in while he sat down. "I bet you have been wondering how you would get down… well here you go, I love you!" With that his mom gave the saucer a great push and sent Thomas flying down the hill. Thomas screamed the whole way! He rode past Donphans and Skarmorys and some other trainers. He looked back and saw just dust. The trainers everywhere stopped and turned their heads. That's when he looked down and saw a Poke'mon being trained against a rock but there was a problem. He was heading straight for the rock! He pulled the front up and scraped right over the rock taking off a chunk. The saucer went flying away from him but he had time to grab the piece of stone. He looked down and saw it wasn't a rock but a poke'mon and the trainer caught it. It seemed to be like a Graveller he had once seen on a TV documentary. He was falling to the ground with out his saucer and the ground was getting closer and then… SMACK! Down he rolled to the bottom of the hill. He was covered in dust, dirt and scrapes. He stood up and walked into the guardhouse.
"Good heavens!" the guard stated, "you look absolutely terrible! Have a drink of water." He tossed the bottle to Thomas who slurped it down.
"Thanks." Thomas replied, "Which way to New Bark?" he asked.
"Just out and to the left." The guard said.
"Thanks." Said Thomas and he left. He walked for a little while seeing Sentret and Pidgeys swarming the area. He also noticed much younger trainers then he had seen on that hill. He pressed on until he reached the lab. He walked in and found Professor Elm. "Professor Elm I presume."
"Correct, and you would be?" he asked spinning around.
"I…I'm Thomas" He stammered.
"Thomas Newberry? Oh I talked to your mom, here, the present from her!" Professor Elm handed him a poke'ball.
"Oh! What is it?" he asked. "Hey! I got a present from Leslie too!" he pulled out the package and found some poke'gear. "YES! I wanted this bad!"
"Ha Ha!" said Elm, I have a gift for you too, well actually two, one from me and one from my friend Professor Oak.
"The Professor Oak? You mean the Professor Oak of Poke'mon talk? He is awesome!" said Thomas.
"Well, first from me" said Elm handing Thomas an egg.
"What's Inside?" Thomas asked.
"Well I was hoping you would find out for me." Replied Elm.
"Really, you mean it?" asked Thomas
"Sure, and now from Oak" Elm presented Thomas with a Poke'dex.
"Wow… a Poke'dex." Said Thomas
"Yes, now go and train, and call me when that egg hatches!" said Elm so Thomas turned to leave when he was stopped by Elms aid.
"Happy Birthday, take these, they will be very useful" said the aide handing Thomas 10 Poke'balls.
"Thanks! I will remember that!" and off Thomas went but it was late and he needed a place to stay. He saw a lady watching him who approached him.
"Are you a new trainer?" the lady asked.
"Yes I am why?" Thomas asked.
"Well my son is too, say don't you think it is a little late for you to start, why don't you come and stay in his room!" she replied, "My name is Ms. Ketchum"
"Fine by me, I am Thomas, pleased to meet you." And off they went. There he goes, starting his adventure.
