Professor Oak yawned as it was rather early in the morning, specifically 4:45 of this first of April. It was always a joy to start off newcomers to Pokémon Trainers, for the most part. Gilbert was one Oak was not hedging his bets on and he could blame his father for that. He had faith in Gary, Ash had a good heart with potential, and then there was Crimson. Professor Oak poured himself his coffee thinking of him considering the boy's loss of his parents. He was supposed to start his journey last year, but he took the year to mourn. From what Daisy and Gary told him, Crimson's opening up more and more.

"I wonder if one of them will be a champion in the making." Oak said sipping his coffee.

"In all due time, it could be possible." Crimson said spooking Oak.

"Wait. How did you get in the lab? I hadn't unlocked it." Oak remarked.

"I have ways." Crimson said as his Morticia floated up to his side. "I went to bed early to get up and early for the day to get my Charmander."

"Oh, you've already decided?" Oak remarked.

"Well it was either Charmander or Bulbasaur. And you see…there aren't really that many Fire-types I can encounter in Kanto, but there are plenty of grass Pokémon and water all over Kanto. I may have to raise a Charmander patiently, but I can live with that." Crimson said astutely.

"I see you're thought it over well. You're growing more like your father, and I don't see any reason to hold off on it. Follow me." Oak said as they walked to the machine.

Oak handed Crimson the Poké Ball and Crimson let out his new addition to the team. Out of the ball came Charmander.

"Welcome to the team, buddy. Name's Crimson." Crimson said holding Charmander in his arms.

"Char!" She said happily.

"Would you like to give her a nickname?" Oak asked.

Crimson found the fact he got a female Charmander odd but shrugged it off. All it mattered was he had a Charmander now!

"I'll nickname her Kimiko." Crimson said firmly. "It's perfect for her."

"Right, allow me to get your new trainer card." Oak said going to a briefcase. "There's also something your father wanted you to have. It's in the cabinet next to you. He wanted you to take it when you officially became a trainer."

Crimson put Kimiko down and went into the cabinet finding a metallic box locked shut with a biometric scanner. Crimson placed his finger on it, and it clicked open to reveal three things inside. A letter for Professor Oak, a piece of paper wrapped around a key, a small earpiece, and a sleek black Pokédex which Crimson knew the model as the HANDY910 (the Sinnoh version). Oak nearly dropped his jaw at the sight as he weakly handed Crimson his updated card.

"My word, is that a Pokédex?" Oak said in absolute shock.

"I am, and at last I have arrived. Crimson, it's a pleasure to finally meet you. I am Bulma."

The Pokédex spoke and Crimson was grinning ear to ear. The voice of Bulma for the Pokédex made so much sense to him.

"Pleased to meet you, Bulma." Crimson said. "Mind telling me what the deal with the rest of the box is?"

"Oh yes. The letter to Oak is basically your father going on about how he made the ultimate Dex at last. How it completes the other two prototype he gave to another for safekeeping and so on. The key is for a room in the second floor of the house, and the paper has a message on it. The earpiece is the Pokémon Translator that your mother developed. It's all synced and ready for use." Dex Bulma said before going on standby mode.

Crimson wasted no time put it on and activating it.

"So, he can actually understand my speech?" Morticia said.

"She sounds like a young Morticia from the Addams family." Crimson thought before saying, "At last, I can, my lady. I trust you can fight by my side."

"As long as time allows." Morticia said.

"I'm finally leaving the lab…to see the world." Kimiko said nervously.

"This is going to rock." Crimson said returning Morticia to her ball. "Well, Oak. Seems I can take my leave."

Oak was at a lost at the other innovations that his parents had done, and had wonder if others knew.

"Here, you'll need five Poké Balls. Here." Oak said handing him a set.

Crimson thanked him and beckoned Kimiko to follow him. As they were leaving, they bumped into Gary.

"Gary. Hey…" Crimson said sheepishly.

"You cheeky sneak. Well at least you did not take Squirtle, so I'm not mad. I guess it's every Ash or Gilbert that gets Bulbasaur." Gary said with a chuckle. "I assume you're going to be leaving right about now."

"Maybe." Crimson said. "After I change into my proper trainer clothes. Either way, I and Kimiko are gone."

"You named her, Kimiko?" Gary said with a raised eyebrow.

"It's a family thing." Crimson said walking off with Kimiko in tow. "But one thing, don't forget our bet."

And like that, she and he were gone. Back at the house, Crimson put out a few berries for Kimiko.

"Wait here, I need to check on something before we leave town." Crimson said going upstairs.

He unwrapped the key and read the message hidden on the paper.

"Check your PC Storage." Crimson read and then it hit him.

Within the games, there was always a potion hidden in the PC storage. Going to his PC in his room, he was greeted with that and another item.

'Rare Candy – x ?09'

It was just like the standard hack he put into his Pokémon play-troughs on romhacks and emulators. He also found all the decoratiosn he had brought in his Pokémon Emerald play through and access to his clothes cache. All the clothes he bought from X and Y were in there as well along with a few extras. He had his goofy grin as he went to the locked door and opened it. What he found was the motherlode. A full TM case (all 170 moves spanning the generations), a cache of Poké Balls of every type (except regular Poké Balls, Sport Balls, Cherish Balls, Park Balls, Safari Balls, Dream, and Beast Balls), a Super Rod, vitamins, a new bag with some assorted supplies, and his katana. His parents wanted him ready and then some.

"It's nearly sixty of every one, and only seven Master Balls. Well, I could get more of that later, but that's underwhelming." Crimson said as he began packing his bag before getting get a new outfit to wear. "If only there were Mega Stones."

He also made sure to deposit a good amount of those Rare Candies, at least sixty for now. Kimiko was looking around as Crimson came down saying he was ready. Kimiko looked over to see her trainer. He now wore an Aqua Hoodie with a red undershirt, Blue Cuffed Jeans with a black belt with his Pokéballs clipped to his sides, black ankle socks, a pair of Black Short Boots, an Aqua Camo Cap with a Lime Green Button Accessory, a pair of Wide-Frame Sunglasses, and topped off with a pair of fingerless gloves. With his bag on his back and his sword on his side, he was ready. Capsules made his Bag rather light, and he was rather glad for the tech that he had carried over from his own life.

He promptly let out Jett and Morticia to join Kimiko.

"Listen up, guys! As you can see, today is the day we start our journey. We'll face challenge and hardship on the way, but we'll have each other's backs no matter what. So, my crew? Are you ready?" Crimson said.

"Of course./Bring it!/Yes sir!" They cried out.

"Jett, you weren't here for this, but Crimson has a device that directly translates Pokéspeak. He can understand us all as if we spoke human." Morticia explained.

"Really? Well let me say, I'm glad you've finally stopped moping around and you've back to your old self!" Jett said happily.

"Before we leave, I have something we need to do before we'll be doing before, we leave. We'll be dealing with TMs! We're going to learn some new moves!" Crimson said excitedly.

"Aerial Ace! Please! If anything, when fighting-type want to step, I'll kick their ass!" Jett pleaded.

"I'd like something to replace Smog." Morticia said.

"Well, I only know Scratch and Growl…so load me up!" Kimiko said excitedly.

Thus, Crimson got to work replacing and adding some new moves in.

(A/N: I will take suggestions for egg moves for all three of them. Either way, yes this is part of the first episode of Pokémon. I had to split it into two parts. For those asking about the sword, yes, he does know to use it. This Crimson does know how to fight, but unlike Loud Version, isn't completely battle-hardened.)
