Chapter One - The Start of the Pokémon Journey!

Jemima sat up and looked all around her. Nothing but sea. She sighed and patted her Pokémon transport, Lapras. Lapras spoke to her in a soothing telepathic wave. She said, "Don't worry Jemima! Chin up!"

Jemima gave a small sceptical snort of laughter, as if to say "Yeah right"

Lapras rolled her large beautiful eyes and sighed.

'Jemima is not in the best of moods. But she hasn't been for many moons now.' Thought Lapras, turning her great head to the dusky pink sky.

Later, when it was dark Jemima sent out her Persian. It was a beautiful feline, Jemima's pride and joy. Jemima slept, but very lightly in case something attacked them.

Jemima was a fourteen-year-old girl with dark green hair and big brown eyes. She wore a pair of patchwork flares and a black T-shirt with white stripes.

It was at about midnight that she heard it. An argument. In the middle of the sea! Jemima sat up and looked about. Thick fog had blanketed the area, so she couldn't see anyone, but out in the dark there was a lantern! Then another Lapras came into view! On board was a girl with orange hair, a boy in a hat with black hair, and another boy with dark brown hair and strange eyes. Jemima yelled out

"Who goes there?"

The shout came back:

"I'm Ash Ketchum, from the town of Pallet!"

"I'm Misty, the Cerulean Gym leader"

There was a pause, then another shout

"I'm Brock, the Pewter Gym leader, that green hair really suits you! Would you like to meet me for Pizza later?"

There was a sound of a slap, and then the Lapras drew right up next to Jemima and her Lapras. Jemima recalled her Persian, and sent out Charizard. Charizard burst out of his Pokéball, sending sparks flying everywhere! He swung his gigantic tail around and lit the area.

Jemima asked Ash:

"So, Where are you going Ashy-boy?"

"Ashy-boy? …Umm… Cinnabar Island!"

"Oh. That old place? Total tourist trap!" Said Jemima

"I know, I have been there before y'know" Said Ash.

"Stop being so insolent" Jemima grinned as she hit Ash. "May I join you guys?"

"Of course! A lovely girl like you!" said Brock, trying his best to be charming.

"That means yes, roughly translated" Added Misty

They sailed on until dawn broke, beautiful over Cinnabar harbour. Ash, Misty and Brock went ashore to find the gym. Jemima stayed aboard Lapras for a while, then she recalled Lapras and went to look around. She looked at all the tourist market stalls. She saw one being run by two rather shady looking characters, they were selling Meowth shaped biscuits. In fact, a Meowth was serving. "Team Rocket" said Jemima to herself. She walked on, down the street to the Pokémon centre. It was packed full to burst! She had been hoping to check in her Pokémon, but decided against it and went to use a videophone instead. She phoned up the Nurse Joy from her Island; Persian Island. Nurse Joy picked up and said

"Hello? Pokémon centre, how can we help?"

"Hi!" said Jemima

"Oh Hi! I've got something for you! It's a mini computer / Pokédex!"

The thing came through a slot at the bottom of the phone!

"Have you got it yet?" Asked Nurse Joy

"Yes thanks! What does it do?"

"You can store and retrieve Pokémon whenever you like! See, you put the Pokéball in that little hole, press a button, and the Pokémon becomes computer data, for you to retrieve whenever convenient!"

"Thanks Nurse Joy! I've got to go find Ashy-boy, Brocko and Misty! Bye!"

"Goodbye then…!" said Nurse Joy looking at Jemima sideways as though Jemima had gone mad.
