My twelfth birthday. The day I've waiting for all my life, the day I can finally get my own trainer's license. I threw the covers off me and smashed my hand down on my clock, shutting off the alarm. After throwing myself out of bed I changed into the clothes I had bought, especially for today, the clothes I would start my pokemon adventure with. Then, trying not to be late, I threw my backpack over my back and ran down the stairs and just as I reached the door I heard my mom.

"Honey, you should grab a bite to eat before leaving. You shouldn't start on an empty stomach." she yelled.

"Mom!" I replied, "I have been waiting twelve long years for this, I can't wait any longer!"

"Okay okay, I'll meet you at the lab to say goodbye after I'm done with the dishes." She told me.

"Okay okay, I'm off now! Bye!" I replied.

"Good luck," she said and with that I was out the door. As soon as I was out I had to throw my hand over my eyes to protect my eyes from the seemingly brighter than normal sunlight. I stepped off the patio and then started off towards the lab. I watched the scenery as I passed it by, it was a great view of everything. I lived in a valley surrounded by trees, lakes, mountains, anything you could think of. And now that I was thinking of it, I sort of regret having to leave. But this is what I had been waiting for, the day I get my first pokemon.

Slowly I made my way down the trail, trying to get there fast, but going slow to admire the landscape once more before I set off into the world of pokemon. Soon I started counting all the pokemon I could see, but then it got so hard with high numbers that I just watched them. There were flocks of pidgeys overhead, ratatas racing back and forth, caterpies climbing trees, and I even got a glimpse of a torchic flying overhead. It's flames were glowing bright in the sun and the wings seemed to flap perfectly, making it fly at a very quick speed.

Then I snapped my vision away to the lab, now only a bit away. A few more steps and I found myself standing at the enormous gate. As I put my hand on the handle I heard a cry to my left.

"HELP!" someone yelled. I decided that it couldn't hurt to see who it was so I turned to the left and entered the forest. After climbing around a few bushes and trees and I found Professor Amaki cornered against a tree by a very large raticate.

"Ketay," he called to me. "Grab a pokemon from my backpack there, help me!" I ran to his backpack and looked through the pile of spilled pokemon. "Just use any of them!" he said. So I grabbed one that seemed to be an odd pink color and threw it out toward the raticate.

"Go..... Pokemon!" I yelled, unsure of what pokemon lay inside. As it opened and a beam of light shot out, it formed into the very familiar shape of an eevee. "Eevee!" I yelled as the pokeball bounced back to me, but as I reached to get it I missed and it slammed into the tree behind me and smashed into piece. "GAH!" I yelled. But I couldn't be distracted by that now. So then I started searching through my mind of what attacks a low-level eevee possesses. Then I had an idea. "Eevee, growl attack!" I called to it. It turned to the raticate and let out a fierce growl, one that would seem to have came from a larger pokemon. It caught the raticate off guard and it then turned to face eevee and it showed its large sharp teeth. Then it lunged forward quickly. "Eevee, agility attack! Dodge it!" Eevee sped up and dodged to the right and then turned. "Now! Tackle attack!" Eevee then ran forward and slammed himself into raticate, which using the motion that he already had from lunging, it slammed him into a tree and knocked him unconscious.

"Ketay! That was a great call!" the professor called to me as he walked over. As he did eevee ran over to me and hopped up into my arms. "I suppose you came to get your first pokemon to start your own pokemon adventure?" he asked me.

"Yes... yes I did." I told him.

"Well, you wouldn't want to keep that eevee you chose to battle with would you?" I looked at the eevee and he smiled and licked my face.

"I sure would," I said smiling.

"Then he is yours. He does have something different about him though. And that pokeball he was in was the only one that was strong enough to contain him," he said to me.

"But he looks so cute. How could it take such a strong pokeball to contain him?" I asked curiously, with no idea why.

"I'm not quite sure. He looks perfectly harmless. But maybe you can figure it out."

"And I have another question. Why where you trapped by that raticate when you had all these pokemon?"

"I foolishly left my backpack behind as I went out looking for some berries. Thankfully you came along, and for that I owe you something," he said as he walked over to his backpack. He drew out a small blue computer-like object. "This is my newest version of the pokedex. Not only does it contain the newest 251 pokemon, it contains a new device called a pokescanner. It allows you to scan a pokemon for its experience level, the moves it knows, and more. Watch." He opened the pokedex and pointed it at the eevee. He pushed a few buttons and a blue light turned on.

"Pokemon, Eevee. Level 5. Currently knows tackle, growl, and agility," a voice from the pokedex came.

"It also contains the normal pokedex info, and a few other features you can find out, including an item and berry scanner, which allows you to scan berries and items for their name and info. A pretty good device for this day in age," he said to me. Then he closed it and handed it to me. "But I shouldn't be keeping you with all this talk. I suppose it's time for you to leave, your mom should be here anytime."

"Wait, before we go back, what about this eevee?"

"Well, I suppose you will have to carry it along with you, unless you don't want him, but he seems to like you, and I know he likes being carried."

"That's fine." I said as I put the eevee on my shoulder. "Thanks a lot."

"Of course, and I will make space for any extra pokemon you catch that you don't want to carry or that you don't have room for. Now lets get going."

We both started to walk back towards the lab and soon we reached it, and my mom was standing there holding my little sister in her arms.

"There you are Ketay! I was so worried. We checked along the way and you had obviously gotten here already, we checked inside and we couldn't find you, we even walked around the area and couldn't find you!"

"We were gone that long?" I asked scratching my head. "Well we're here now and I'm all ready, with my first pokemon!" My mom looked at it and smiled.

"It's so cute. But I have something here for you." She said as she took something out of her coat pocket. "It's the new version of the PokeGear. I found it at the store along the way, they were advertising it in the window and I thought it would be perfect for you!"

I took it and looked at it. "It's great Mom!"

"Well, there isn't much on it yet, it only came with a clock card. But I'm sure you can get a few more cards for it along the way. Oh and here, Sarah has something for you." she said as my little sister held out a belt with a few pokeballs on it. "We thought you could use something to keep your pokeballs on, and you also needed some pokeballs to start out with, so it was perfect." I took it and strapped it around my waist.

"It's perfect!" I said as I hugged my little sister.

"Okay, well good luck on your journey, and don't forget to call! I'll need to see your face at least once in awhile." She hugged me and smiled.

"Yes, good luck, and if you need any help, I'm always here." said Professor Amaki.

"Okay, I'll be going now! Goodbye Mom and Sarah. Goodbye Professor!" I said as I waved goodbye. Then I turned and set off on a path leading west, right into the sun, which was now high in the sky. Then I remembered my pokemon and grabbed a piece of bread from my pocket and handed it to him. "Here you go, you look hungry."

"Veeee!" He said as he took it gratefully and started chewing away on it. He was the perfect pokemon for me, strong, loyal, and happy. The feeling was great, I was off on my very own adventure. I would become a Pokemon Master and catch all the pokemon possible. But it would always be a challenge because new pokemon were always being discovered. Just like they now had 255 pokemon discovered from the recently found Torchic, Mudkip, and Treecko. Who knows how many there would have in a year. Maybe 300, or maybe 400. Only time would tell, but I will always be there to catch them all. Catch them... train them... befriend them.
