Chapter 1 Receiving the Pokedex
Sara was ready to go on her Pokemon journey. She was glad that she just turned thirteen yesterday so that she and her Pokemon, Charmy and Mike, could try and reach their dreams. Today though, there first thing on the to-do list was to visit Professor Oak. Professor Oak was famous worldwide and he gave all new trainers their Pokedex. Sara was ready to go today because she wanted to make her parents proud.
Her parents passed on during an arson fire started by none other than Team Rocket. Team Rocket is a group of notorious thieves that are feared and revered as the best. Sara still had lots of hatred toward them. One of her two goals in her life were to defeat Team Rocket and to become the greatest trainer ever.
"Sara, you're going to be late if you don't go soon!" yelled her aunt.
"I know! I am throwing on some clothes now! I will be down in a second!" yelled Sara in reply, as she picked out her favorite shirt and jeans. Her shirt was light blue and her jeans were black. She started to run down the stairs only to trip halfway down and she fell the rest of the way.
"Are you alright? You should really slow down a bit down those stairs, Sara. That is the second time this week you did that," said her foster- mom. "Well I see that there are already kids lined up outside of Professor Oak's lab, so you better get going. Here is your Pokegear. You can't do much without it. I took the liberty to pack a sandwich and an extra set of clothes."
"Thanks. I will call you as soon as I get to Viridian City. I have to get going now. I love you!" Sara yelled as she put on her white shoes and ran out the door.
"I love you . . . ," yelled her aunt, "too." It was too late because Sara was already around the block.
Sara ran up to Professor Oak's lab and she got in line. She was the last in line it appeared because it was 9 a.m. and the lab opened at 8. She stood there frustrated. She only lived two blocks away but here she was late as usual.
"I can't believe I slept in on the biggest day of my life. I knew I should've set my alarm clock," she said to herself.
"Hi, Sara. I guess we both are in the same boat," came a familiar voice. "We are going to be here forever. I can't believe that we both slept in on the same day."
Sara looked around and saw her friend from childhood, Tasha. Tasha was about the same height as Sara. If you saw them from a distance they would look like twins. Tasha had curly, brown hair like Sara but instead of hazel eyes she had bright green ones. Sara hated looking like Tasha because Tasha always had been the best at everything. Tasha had been the best student at school as well as the most athletic. It made Sara mad just thinking about it.
Sara decided to add another goal to her list. Become a better trainer than Tasha. Even though they were best friends when they were kids, they were bitter rivals.
"Hi, Tasha. Why were you so late today? I figured that you would be first in line," remarked Sara.
"I would've been except that my mom kept me home until just now because she thought I needed to clean my room first. Why are you so late?"
"Well I just woke up late as usual."
As the line continued to diminish, Sara thought about what she would first do when she got her Pokedex. She took out the town map and started to study it. The first gym she wanted to go to was Pewter City. She once lived in Pewter City. It was the last place she lived with her parents. Her parents' jobs forced them to move from city to city on a regular basis, so it became hard for Sara to make friends. Within five years of her life before the fire she had lived in Cerulean City, Saffron City, Lavender Town, and even Cinnabar Island. After her parents died she moved in with her aunt in Pallet Town.
"Sara!" Sara came out her train of thought at that time. "We are here at the entrance."
"Oh!"
Sara walked into the building and saw Professor Oak give a Pokeball and a Pokedex to Tasha. Sara was next. Sara walked up to Professor Oak and said, "Hi, Professor Oak."
"Hi, Sara. Are you ready for your journey?"
"Yes. I have been preparing for weeks now."
"Let me see here. You already have two Pokemon so you won't need a starter . . . hm," Professor Oak was digging through a box of his. "here it is. It is a new model of the Pokedex. It is built into a watch. I want you to test it out. Here you go. Give it a try."
Sara threw out her Pokeball with Charmy in it. Charmy came out as a burst of energy and formed into a charmander. Sara pointed the watch and Charmy and a screen came up. "Charmander: The flame on its tail indicates charmanders life force. If it is healthy, the flame burns brightly," said the Pokedex.
"Its name is Wally."
Sara thanked the Professor and exited with a big smile. She walked out and saw Tasha just standing there waiting. Sara knew what was next.
