It was a warm morning in Twinleaf Town. The grass swayed with the breeze, and the leaves of the trees rustled along with it. Our story takes place in the upstairs room of a small brown cottage. Well, technically , it takes place with the boy inside it. A young man sat on his bed, brown eyes staring intently at his phone, one hand ruffling his bush of brown hair. He sighed. A small smile the crossed his lips as he got up and got ready for the day. Slipping on a black shirt on, and a pair of black jeans, he then tugged a blue jacket over his broad shoulders. He tugged a pair of black vans on quickly before trotting down the stairs. Sitting at the table was a young woman. She looked up and smiled. "Good morning Dante."

The boy, Dante, smiled, "Morning Mom." The woman took one last sip of her coffee and stood, handing her son a small great ball. His smile was huge as he looked at it, then his mother. She smiled kindly before giving him a hug.

"Good luck my son." Dante smiled and hugged her back, nodding against her shoulder.

"AYE, GAYLORD, HURRY YOUR FRECKLED BUTT UP. WE HAVE A JOURNEY TO START!"

Dante and his mother sweat dropped at the irritated yell from outside, pulling away from their hug. Dante yelled a quick 'Bye love you mom!' before running game out the door.

Standing not far from him was his best friend, Echo. Echo was a pale girl, with long blonde hair tied in a long , low hanging ponytail that seemed to poof out much like a tail. Long bangs fell into her face, somewhat obscuring her insanely bright blue eyes. Freckles dotted er nose and cheeks. She wore a red hoodie, which was unzipped to reveal a black t shirt with a Pokéball on it. Blue ripped jean shorts rested a little below her mid thigh and black converse adorned her feet.

"You know Echo, you shouldn't be the one talking about my freckled ass considering your freckled face. You probably have freckles on your ass to. Why don't ya get rid of them shorts and let's see..?" Dante smirked in a flirtatious way, wiggling his eyebrows. Echo rolled her eyes, quite used to her friends behavior. She smired back, placing a hand on her hip.

"So you admit you have a freckled ass?"

"I might, you don't know. You could always find out though..."

"You're nasty, you know that?"

"I prefer "Oddly Charming" myself"

"God I feel bad for every girl we meet on this journey..." Echo groaned. Dante laughed, throwing an arm around her shoulders, "You love me and you know it." Echo rolled her eyes

"Lol Nope bruh"

-timeskip-

As the two walked towards Route 1, Dante remembered the Pokéball his mom gave him. He pulled it out. Echo looked at him curiously, "Your mom gave you a pokemon?" "Yeah, right before I left...wonder what it is..." Dante scratched his head and clicked the button. In a flash of blue light, a Litwick sat in front of them, one yellow eye staring st right at them. Dante let out a giddy laugh, picking it up.

"Holy Crap, she must have given my one of Reapers eggs! This is amazing!" Echo smiled, laughing at her friends excitement. The Litwick smiled and laughed with its new trainer.

After Dante calmed down, it occurred to him that Echo hadn't shown him her beginner yet. He looked over and raised an eyebrow. "Hey, where's your starter?" Echo sighed.

"I don't have one yet."

"WAIT WHAT!?"

-timeskip-

"So you're telling me we just left for our journey AND YOU DONT EVEN HAVE A POKEMON!?" Dante ranted, waving his arms. Echo stood with her arms crossed and lips in a pout. She knew if she told Dante why she didn't have a starter he'd give her those pity eyes and she hated pity. But she also knew if she didn't tell him he would give her hell. She sighed. Only one choice I guess.

"Dad was to busy-like usual. He forgot about today and went off on a four day meeting in Hoen." She mumbled, spite lacing her words. Dante frowned, eyebrows pulled together. "I'm sorry Echo..."

She huffed, "It's fine, nothing I'm not used to. I told James to notify him I didn't need his help on my journey and that I could get my own starter." Dante just nodded. Suddenly an idea struck him.

"I know! We should check with your Grandpa!"

"Grandpa Rowen?"

"Yeah! He doesn't live that far from here right?"

"Well I guess its worth a shot."

and there it is! Chapter one! I hope you guys enjoyed this, and am looking forward to more oc submissions! Also, Pokémon teams will be decided by me, other then your starter! If that's alright with you, of course. Not many characters will have a team of 6, only about 3-5 each, maybe less.
