Chapter 1: A New Journey for a New Trainer

Gilbert, the son of the mayor of Pallet Town, had just started his Pokémon journey, accompanied by his starter Pokémon, Bulbasaur. They had recently left Pallet Town and were now traveling down Route 2. Gilbert was currently checking on Bulbasaur's move set through his Pokédex. At the moment, Bulbasaur knew Tackle, Growl, Vine Whip, Sweet Scent and Petal Dance. "Great set of moves. But I'm sure we'll be able to work up to learning some more together." Gilbert said. Bulbasaur agreed.

That night, Gilbert and Bulbasaur camped out under the stars. "Look at that night sky, Bulbasaur. Just as those stars shine in that sky, I'm sure we'll be able to achieve our dreams." Gilbert said. Bulbasaur didn't respond. Gilbert looked down to see Bulbasaur sleeping on his lap. Gilbert smiled and petted his sleeping Pokémon. Then he looked back up at the night sky. 'Wherever our path will take us, we'll be sure to walk the path together.' He thought.

The next morning, Gilbert and Bulbasaur were back on the road. "Hey, Bulbasaur? What do you think we should do first for this brand-new day?" Gilbert asked. "Bulba Bulbasaur." Bulbasaur replied. "Try to capture some Pokémon?" Gilbert asked like he understood. "Bulba." Bulbasaur nodded. "Alright. You got a deal. Let's catch some new friends." Gilbert said.

Gilbert and Bulbasaur looked around for any wild Pokémon to battle and capture. "Bulba!" Bulbasaur cried out. "What's up?" Gilbert asked. "Bulba." Bulbasaur pointed up to a tree. There was a Spinarak dangling from a web there. "Hey, that's a Spinarak." Gibert said, checking his Pokédex.

Spinarak, the String Spit Pokémon. A Bug & Poison-type. Spinarak use their string to make their nests. The smiley mark on their bodies can be used to lure prey into traps.

"Cool. This is our chance. Ready Bulbasaur?" Gilbert asked. "Bulba!" Bulbasaur got ready to battle. Spinarak fired Poison Sting from in between its pincers. The stingers hit Bulbasaur, but they didn't do much damage due to Bulbasaur being part Poison-type. "Now it's our turn. Use Vine Whip!" Bulbasaur unleashed its vines and struck Spinarak hard. "Now Tackle!" Bulbasaur ran towards Spinarak and tackled it hard. Spinarak detached from its web and fell to the ground. "It's time. Go Pokéball!" Gilbert tossed a Pokéball at Spinarak and it got sucked in. The Pokéball shook for a minute and then 'Ping!' Gilbert couldn't believe it. He caught Spinarak. He picked up the Pokéball and stared at it with awe. "I did it. We got Spinarak." He said. "Bulba." Bulbasaur said.

He let out Spinarak, who was panting from the battle. "It's okay. Calm down." Gilbert said. He sprayed a potion on where Bulbasaur struck it with its vine. With a second, it was all healed up. "So, Spinarak, how'd you like to join us on our journey?" Gilbert asked. "Spin! Spin!" Spinarak nodded. "Great. We're gonna be great friends." Gilbert said. Spinarak suddenly leapt onto Bulbasaur. Both Gilbert and Bulbasaur were confused at first. But then, Spinarak made itself comfy and went to sleep on Bulbasaur's back. That made Gilbert laugh. "I think Spinarak likes sleeping on your back, Bulbasaur." He said. "Bul. Bulbasaur." Bulbasaur didn't mind this.

And so, with Spinarak part of the team now, Gilbert and Bulbasaur's journey has truly begun. They soon made it to Viridian City. "There it is. Viridian City." Gilbert said. "Bulba." "Spin." Bulbasaur and Spinarak said. "Our first step in our journey. Let's achieve our dreams." Gilbert said. All 3 of them started to make towards Viridian City as the journey begins.
