Chapter 1: Littleroot Town! The Start Of Brendan Birch!

"Sceptile is using Leaf Blade! It's not over yet!" said the announcer. "Go, Brandon!" said Brendan. "Swampert is unable to battle! Brandon Birch of Littleroot Town wins the Sapphire Conference!" "Yay! All right!" "Brendan, are you still up?" asked Professor Birch. "Sorry I woke you, Dad. I just wanted to see Brandon win the conference." "You look up to your older brother, don't you?" said Prof. Birch. Brendan laughed nervously. "Go to sleep, okay? Don't forget I'm giving you your first Pokémon tomorrow." "All right, Dad."

The next morning...The alarm clock rang. Brendan, half-asleep, woke up and looked at the time. "11:30am? I overslept!" Rushing to the bathroom, he tripped over a PokéDoll. "I knew I should've put that up yesterday." After brushing his teeth and putting on his clothes, he ran downstairs to the kitchen. "Hi, mom. No time for me to eat breakfast." "But your dad isn't at the lab yet. He's still in bed." Surprised, he sat down and ate the pancakes his mom made.

Prof. Birch woke up and realized that he overslept. "Oh no. I'm late! Brendan is probably furious right now." After brushing his teeth and putting on his clothes, he ran downstairs to see Brendan playing with Sapphire, his one-year-old sister. "Oh, hi Dad. Are you ready to go?" asked Brendan. "Yeah, let's head to the lab," the professor chuckled.

At the lab...

"Good morning, Joshua. How are you today?" Prof. Birch asked his assistant. "Just fine, professor. Are you ready to work today?" "Yes. Come here, Brendan." Brendan walked over to Prof. Birch. On the table next to him, there were three PokéBalls. "Brendan, choose your starter Pokémon. First, Treecko." Prof. Birch released a small, green reptile Pokémon. "Next is Torchic." He released a small, orange chick Pokémon. "Last is Mudkip." He released a small blue fish Pokémon with a fin on its head. "Choose carefully, my son."

Brendan thought for a couple of minutes until he finally chose a Pokémon. "I choose... Torchic!" "Fine choice, Brendan. Joshua, bring the PokéDex," said Prof. Birch. Joshua brought the PokéDex to Brendan. "Here you go, Brendan. Your very own PokéDex!" "Great! I'm heading home to show Mom, okay?" said Brendan. "Okay, son."

Back at the Birch home...

Brendan walked through the door to see Sapphire playing with his PokéDoll. "Hey, sis. Whatcha doing? Are you playing with a PokéDoll?" His mother walked in the room to see Brendan with a Torchic. "Well, you got your first Pokémon. Good for you!" she said. "Thanks, Mom," replied Brendan. "What's his name?" "I didn't give him a name." "Well, how about Torch?" He thought about it and agreed that it's a good name. "Well, Brendan, here's your bag," his mom said, handing him a bag. "I put an extra set of clothes, some Potions, and some PokéBalls in there for you. By the way, here's some presents for you." She gave him a wallet, a PokéNav, some Running Shoes, and a pair of Go-Goggles. "Gee thanks, Mom," he said, putting on his Running Shoes. "Well, you'd better get going, Brendan." "Yeah. Bye, Mom. Bye, Sapphire."

Brendan turned on his Running Shoes and ran back to the lab. When he went in, he saw Joshua but not his dad. "Hey, Josh. Where's my dad?" he asked. "He's out doing some fieldwork on Route 101." "Thanks."

Brendan ran to Route 101 to see his dad being attacked by a wild Poochyena. "Hold on, Dad! I'm coming!" He ran up to the Poochyena. "Hey, Poochyena! I challenge you to a battle!" The Poochyena attacked first with its Tackle attack. "Torch, dodge it and use Scratch!" Torch leapt out of the way and scratched the Poochyena with his claws. This dazed the Poochyena. "Okay, then. PokéBall, go!" He threw the PokéBall at the Poochyena. It sucked the Poochyena inside, shook three times, and then sealed. "I caught my first Pokémon..." he said, surprised. "Good job, son! I'm proud of you. So you came to say goodbye?" "Yeah. I'm gonna miss you guys." Brendan felt tears building up inside him. "I'm gonna make sure I win some battles for you guys." He started to walk off towards Oldale Town. I'm going to be the best Pokémon Master anyone's ever seen, he thought.

When he arrived in Oldale, he saw a bunch of trainers hanging around the Pokémon Center. He walked over towards them to see a Pokémon battle going on. It was between a blond-haired girl and a brown-haired boy. "You can't win, Bobby! I am the best and you know it! Aqua, Water Gun!" the girl said. Aqua, a Totodile, shot a jet of water from her mouth. "C'mon, Tricia! You know I'm going to win! Ralts, use Confusion!" The horns on Ralts' head started to glow and sent the Water Gun back at Aqua. "Aqua, dodge it and use Scratch!" Aqua jumped out of the way and scratched Ralts with her claws. This caused Ralts to faint. "See? I told you I would win! Now pay up!" Bobby handed Tricia 150 PokéDollars. "Thank you! C'mon, Aqua. Let's get you healed." Tricia walked inside the Pokémon Center. Brendan followed her.

"Here, Nurse Joy. Can you heal Aqua for me?" asked Tricia. Brendan walked up to Tricia and introduced himself. "Hi, I'm Brendan Birch." "Hi, I'm Tricia Nightingale," she replied, shaking Brendan's hand. "That was a great battle you had back there. Are you trying out for the Hoenn League?" he asked. "No, not really. I want to be a Pokémon Coordinator. I just love Pokémon Contests!" she replied. "Cool! I watched some Pokémon Contests on TV. By the way, Nurse Joy, can you heal my Pokémon, too?" "Sure. If you're registering for the Hoenn League, hand me your PokéDex. I'll have registered in a minute," said Nurse Joy. He handed her his PokéDex. "So, Brendan. You're traveling around by yourself, huh?" asked Tricia. "Yeah. Why?" "Well, I was wondering if I could join you. I'm too afraid to travel around by myself." "Sure, I don't mind. Welcome aboard!" "Thanks, Brendan." Just then, Nurse Joy walked back in the room. "Here you go, Brendan. You're now officially a qualifying trainer for the Hoenn League. Here is a guidebook of Gym Leaders. It should help you." "Thank you, Nurse Joy." He took his PokéDex and the guidebook from Nurse Joy.

Brendan walked to the PokéMart to buy some goods for his journey. He bought three Potions, four Antidotes, a Paralyze Heal, and ten PokéBalls. The grocer gave him a free Premier Ball. "This should hold out until I get to Rustboro City," he said. He walked back towards the Pokémon Center. When he went inside, he decided to go get his Pokémon so they can eat some dinner in the cafeteria. He saw Tricia taking Aqua's PokéBall from Nurse Joy. "Hi, Tricia. Are you going to the cafeteria?" "Yeah. I came to get Aqua so she can eat too."

In the cafeteria, Brendan, Tricia, and their Pokémon sat down and ate some pizza. "This is good. I never ate spinach-mushroom pizza before," said Tricia. "Yeah, my mom made this every Friday. But it tastes better than this." "I see," said Tricia, mouth half-full of pizza. "So you want to leave tomorrow morning?" asked Brendan. "Yeah, that sounds good." "Good. Then we better get some sleep."

Later that night...

Brendan awoke at 12:45am. "I can't believe I can't sleep. Oh well." He walked into the receptionist's area and grabbed a Pokémon Monthly from the magazine rack. He flipped through the magazine. "Nothing to read in here. I guess I can go outside." When he went outside, he released Torch and Poochyena. "Well, guys, I guess I should introduce myself. I'm your trainer, Brendan." 'I know that,' said Torch. "Oh. Well, hi Poochyena. I guess I should name you, huh?" asked Brendan. 'If you want to...' replied Poochyena. "How about... Spike?" 'Hmm, I like it!' said Spike. "Well then, your name is Spike from now on."

Just then, Brendan heard a rustling in the bushes. Spike started to growl while Brendan looked on. Out of the bushes came a Pidgey. "Hey, a Pidgey. Those hardly appear in Hoenn. I gotta catch it!" The Pidgey looked on with anticipation. "Okay. I guess I'll use Spike then." 'Great. I need a battle,' said Spike. "Okay then. Spike, use Tackle!" Spike ran at the Pidgey and rammed into it. The Pidgey fell back and unleashed a Gust attack. This blew Spike back into a tree. "C'mon Spike! Use your Bite attack!" Spike bit into the Pidgey's wing. This dazed the Pidgey. Brendan threw a PokéBall at the Pidgey. It sucked it in, shook three times, and then sealed. "I caught a Pidgey! I think I'll name him... Tornado." said Brendan. Spike just smiled.

"I guess I can go show Dad, but he's sleep right now. C'mon guys. Let's head back to the Pokémon Center," said Brendan. 'Yes, let's,' said Torch. Later that morning, Brendan awoke to the sound of Aqua's snoring. "Hey, Tricia. Aqua's giving us a wake-up call," he said. She looked at the clock next to her to see that it was 9:38am. "Well, I guess we should get out of bed anyway," she replied. After Brendan and Tricia ate breakfast, Nurse Joy walked up to them. "Here is your Pidgey, Brendan," she said. "Thanks. We're leaving now. See ya later!" he said, walking out the door. "Okay, goodbye kids! Be careful out there!"

They waved goodbye as they walked towards Route 103. Now that they are on their way, what kinds of adventures are in store for them? Tune in next time!
