Three to Rule them all
Disclaimer: I do not own Pokemon or any of the characters. Also, some of the story info, such as the Pokemon that Gym leaders or trainers carry is changed from the games/show. Please don't hate me for this.
Chapter 1: The Great Escape
If it was one thing Sara Celestrial loved, it was Pokemon. She had enough to build an army. When she was five, she owned a Bulbasuar, Squirtle, Pikachu, and Charmander. By the time she was ten, her Bulbasuar evolved into a Venusaur, Squirtle into a Blastoise, Pikachu into a Raichu and Charmander into a Charizard. Sara also acquired four more Pikachu, a Pichu, another Charmander, a Warturtle, a Geodude, an Oddish, and an Ivysaur from various relatives. When she was seven, she caught her first Pokemon (a Nidorino) and traded with a friend at school for a Cubone. To top it all off, there was an old Kangeskan that lived with the family for ages. Although Sara loved all of her Pokemon dearly though, her parents didn't. They didn't like spending an extra $500 for Pokemon food (in Pallet Town, Professor Oak was the only person with Pokemon Food, therefore it was quite expensive). Their house was also fairly small, so the Pokemon took up a lot of room. On top of that, they refused to let Sara leave on her Pokemon journey. "No!" her mother said when she asked. "It's too dangerous for you to go gallivanting off all over the world for some silly fights."
"No!" said her father when he was asked. "You need to go to school. After your Pokemon adventure, what would you do for a living? Your place is at school learning, not running around to cities everywhere!" The lowest blow came when Sara was eleven. Her parents where too fed up with the Pokemon, so they brought up the worst punishment ever. "Sara", said her mother, "I'm sorry. I know you love your Pokemon, but there are too many. They'll have to go."
"Go!" cried Sara. "But Mom, they're my friends. I can't send them away!"
"Well", said her father, "you'll make new friends. Real ones like other children your own age. And your Pokemon will be fine. Professor Oak can take them and make sure they are given to good trainers."
"I don't want any other friends!" protested Sara. "And besides, the Pokemon are real friends. Anyway, children my own age just talk about Pokemon, so I'll feel worse. You can't give them away!"
"Yes we can." snapped her mother, losing her patience. "They'll go tomorrow. Now go to bed." Sara wasn't a quitter though. She knew that it would take more than that to rob her of her Pokemon adventure. So, she called all of her Pokemon to her that night. They sadly gathered around her, certain that she'd tell them the bad news. Much to their surprise, however, she began issuing instructions. "Pichu, hand me my pack. Charizard, get my PokeDoll. Careful now, don't tear her. Raichu, get onto my PC and withdraw the Potions and money I have saved in there." The Pokemon all looked oddly at her.
"Nido?" her Nidorino asked curiously.
"Yes." replied Sara. "It'll take more than anything my parents throw at me to stop this journey. We're leaving tonight for Viridian City and we'll never come back until we've come to the end of Victory Road!"
