Many years later, after a long wait, I was finally going to start my Pokemon Journey. The night before I would get my starter Pokemon from Prof. Elm was a restless one, because I kept having the same recurring dream about wanting to be the World's Best Legendary Trainer. The next morning, I was up a little before my alarm went off because I wanted to be able to get a good choice at the lab before my rivals showed up and got the best Pokemon choices. When I got to the lab, I saw much to my dismay that my two rivals were already there and that they had already chosen their starter Pokemon.
I ran over to Prof. Elm and asked "Professor, which Pokemon is left for me?"
Prof. Elm turned to me and answered, "Rosella, your rivals chose Cyndaquil and Totodile as their first Pokemon. So all that is left is Chikorita."
"Professor, since Chikorita is the only Pokemon left, I'll take it." I said.
"Okay, here you go Rosella, take good care of Chikorita."
After I had my first Pokemon, my two rivals Kimki and Misaki said, "Heh, our Pokemon look a lot stronger than your puny little weed.
I turned to them and asked, "Wanna prove it?"
They replied in unison "Of course we do."
So I battled Kimki and Misaki with my new Pokemon and I defeated them both. They were surprised, I could tell and from the look on Prof. Elm's face I could see that he was impressed. After the battles, my rivals ran out of the lab to start their Pokemon journey.
I was about to follow them, when Prof. Elm called me over to him and said, "Rosella, your rivals don't have what it takes to become Pokemon Masters, but you do. So to help you, I'll give you this new version of Pokedex that Prof. Oak gave me because he saw the potential you had at becoming a good Pokemon trainer. Lastly, I want you to take this Pokemon egg. I know it seems strange that I'm giving you an egg, but you see, this egg will hatch into a Pokemon called Togepi, which is a normal-type Pokemon. You might say, that I'm giving you two Pokemon."
Next I turned to Prof. Elm and said "Thank you, Professor."
Then he walked me out and waved goodbye and at the same time he yelled to me as I walked out of my hometown, "Rosella, be sure to call me when that egg hatches."
I turned and yelled back so that he could hear my reply, "Don't worry Professor, I will."
"Good Luck," the Professor yelled back.
Not long after Prof. Elm yelled that, his assistant ran from the lab to catch up with me. When he caught up with me, he gave me five poke balls and five potions to use on my Pokedex quest to catch all of the different kinds of Pokemon. After he gave me the useful items, he too wished me luck on my journey before he turned and ran back to the lab. I decided that my best bet to become a good trainer was to catch several different types of Pokemon. The first Pokemon I ran into was a Sentret.
Before I caught it, I aimed my Pokedex at it and said "Dexter Analyze."
My Pokedex then replied "Sentret, the scout Pokemon, it is very cautious. It raises itself up on its tail to get a better view of its surroundings."
After checking Sentret out with my Pokedex, I said "Go Chikorita, and use your tackle attack."
Chikorita came out of its poke ball and tackled the Sentret. The Sentret then tackled Chikorita with its own tackle, but Chikorita stood tough and managed to weaken it enough so that when I threw my poke ball, I caught it. Now I had two Pokemon and a single Pokemon egg.
Then I saw a wild Mareep, and again as I did with Sentret, I sent out Chikorita and said "Chikorita tackle, attack it."
Chikorita tackled Mareep then Mareep used its own tackle. As before Chikorita stood tough and managed to weaken it enough so that when I threw my poke ball, I caught the Mareep. Next I was walking toward Cherrygrove City, when the egg hatched and I had Togepi on my team. After the egg hatched, I pulled my cell phone out of my bag and called Prof. Elm.
When he answered I said "Prof. Elm its Rosella, the egg hatched."
Then he said "I knew it would, keep Togepi happy because I was told by Lance, the Dragon Master, that some Pokemon will evolve when they get enough experience and are very attached to their trainers."
I said, "I'll be sure to take extra good care of Togepi as I will with my other Pokemon."
Then Prof. Elm said, "Don't be surprised if I call you from time to time to check in on you and see how you and your Pokemon are doing.
Then he said "Bye Rosella, talk to you real soon," and with that I ended the call and put my cell phone back in its special place in my pack so I could get to it easily if I needed it.
Soon after my phone call, I crashed into a wild Pidgey. Again I said as I did with the Sentret, "Dexter analyze."
As before my Pokedex searched its database and said "Pidgey, the bird Pokemon, it is very docile and would rather kick up sand than fight back."
I knew that Chikorita being a grass-type was at a great disadvantage since grass-types were weak against flying-types. So I knew that I would have to choose another Pokemon to battle Pidgey.
I chose to battle Pidgey with Sentret, so I said, "Go Sentret and use your tackle attack."
Sentret came out of its poke ball and tackled Pidgey. The Pidgey brushed itself off and used its own tackle. It looked like Sentret was going to be hit by the tackle but it happened, by chance that the wild Pidgey misjudged the distance and ended up missing and hurting itself slightly.
I then told Sentret, "Sentret, one more tackle attack should do it."
Sentret tackled the Pidgey one more time and it collapsed. I then threw my poke ball and caught Pidgey. Next I recalled Sentret, and ran to the Pokemon Center in Cherrygrove City to heal my Pokemon. When I arrived in town I immediately went to the Pokemon Center and gave my Pokemon to Joy, who healed them and then gave them back to me. Now that my Pokemon were back at full health, I decided that I better hit the trails toward Violet City.
