Chapter 1
Meeting the Starter Pokemon of Kanto and Getting a Pokedex
Beep... Beep... Beep
"Ugh!" Natsu groaned and looked at the time, "Of course I had to set it early in the morning." she yawned and rubbed her left eye
The sound of an alarm clock woke Natsu and Kaisa up with a start, well except for two Pokemon who are still in deep sleep snoozing off.
Natsu stretched her arms and legs out while Kaisa also did some stretches of his own, she got out of bed to get ready for her journey.
"Maybe I should've set the clock around seven not six." Natsu yawned, "But then again, I would've taken about an hour to set everything up." she turned her head to Kaisa. "Morning Kai."
'Morning.' Kaisa said still stretching.
'What's up with the noise?' Lightning said tirelessly.
Neko opened her eyes, 'Oh, it's morning already.' she yawned.
"Morning, Neko, Light." Natsu laughed at Lightning who fell off the bed.
'Morning.' Neko said as she stretched herself.
'Ouch!." Lightning got up, 'What a way to wake up.' he said and stretched his body.
Natsu walked towards the bathroom, she quickly got showered and exited out with her new clothes on and brushed her long jet black hair, quickly tying it back into a low ponytail with a red rope ribbon in place.
Her clothing is rather boyish; she wore a simple white-t-shirt under her black and white jacket. She wore blue jeans, black and white shoes, white socks. She also wore black leather gloves and a black hat with a lightning bolt along with a sliver crescent moon necklace that had a Key Stone with the words 'Destiny' 'Older Sister' half of '&' on it.
"Now time to check everything I have." Natsu got her backpack. "Let's see, Potions... First Aid or Medicines... Camping Supplies... Portable Tent... Fishing Supplies... Extra Pokeballs, all kind... PokeNav... Vs. Recorder... Mini Laptop... And finally change of clothes... Also note to myself; buy some other things..." she mumbled, writing on a shopping list and nodded after she was done writing, "Check! *sighs* Thank Acreus for Portable Bags."
After checking everything was in place, Natsu went downstairs with Lightning and Neko on her shoulders, while Kaisa followed behind.
Aerith was in the kitchen making breakfast when Natsu and her Pokemon entered.
On the table was; bacon, eggs, toast, hams, and side dishes; some cut up vegetables and fruits, drinks; water, orange juice and chocolate milk.
"Morning mum." Natsu greeted with a smile, "Umm, smells great."
'Morning.' Lightning, Neko and Kaisa greeted.
"Morning dear, Light, Neko and Kaisa too." Aerith smiled, "Ready for your official journey?" she asked.
"You bet I am!" Natsu replied, "All set and ready to go."
'Of course you are.' A voice said from behind them.
Natsu and Aerith turned to the source and it was Seraphina, walking in and she sat down.
'Mum!' Lightning and Neko happily.
"Morning Sera." The Matsuoka family greeted.
'Morning Seraphina.' Kaisa greeted as well.
Seraphina smiled, 'Morning to everyone.'
"Breakfast just finished, hurry before it gets cold."
"Right." Natsu replied.
Before Natsu started to eat, she went to give the rest of her Pokemon that were in the backyard some breakfast too, soon breakfast began as everyone was eating happily and talking.
"So, what starter Pokemon are you choosing dear?" Aerith asked.
"Um, to be honest I don't know." Natsu answered, "But I'll find out when I get there."
After finishing breakfast, placing the plates in the kitchen, Natsu took Lightning with her only while the others stayed back, they headed towards Prof. Oak's Lab.
Beside their house was their mother's restaurant; 'Nox Cielo' Restaurant. It became quite popular in Kanto, a lot of people comes for a breakfast, lunch and dinner with their family, friends or just a place to hang out with random trainers.
Nox Cielo Restaurant do many things like; orders, take away and deliver foods and Pokemon foods alike.
It was no more than a few minutes later that the two made it to the front of the lab and entered, she saw a boy and a girl around her age there standing in waiting.
A few minutes later, they heard the door open and turned to see a boy just about Natsu's age with auburn hair and black eyes, he is wearing a long-sleeve purple shirt, a necklace that looked like yin and yang but it was yellow and green, blue pants and brown shoes.
Natsu and Lightning groaned in seeing one person they do not like.
He is Gary Oak the grandson of Prof. Oak, he also likes to tease and insult Natsumi when ever he feels like it.
"Well, looks like Natsuo-girl showed up after all." Gary said arrogantly, "I thought you chicken out."
Lightning was mad and he want to shock him, but he couldn't
"Hello to you too Gary." Natsu said calmly unaffected by his words.
The group heard foot steps and turned to see Prof. Oak coming out of the inner of his lab.
"Hello Prof. Oak/Grandpa." they greeted.
"Hello to you all, now that you're all here we can get started. If you would follow me to my lab." Prof. Oak said and began to walk back to the pathway he came from but with the four kids following.
When they got in, the kids saw a table with three Pokeballs each with a different marking at the top red; the left one has a leaf symbol, the middle with a fire symbol and the right one with a bubble symbol.
"Now let me refresh your memory if you've forgotten. Every beginning Trainer chooses from one of these three Pokemon as their first." Prof. Oak explained.
"Wait a minute gramps. There are four of us, but there are only three balls in front of us." Gary observed.
Prof. Oak nodded, "Very observant Gary. I am afraid that only three of you will get a Pokemon."
"And one of us has to wait a little awhile longer." The girl added.
Prof. Oak nodded again, "Yes. We can pick out through each of you until all three are gone or one of you could volunteer to stay behind."
"Volunteer?" Gary repeated confused.
"Yes. Anyone want to volunteer?"
That's when Natsu stepped up. "I will."
That statement made everyone look at her with a shocked reaction, which she didn't pay any attention to.
"That's very kind of you Natsumi."
"Ha! That was very foolish! You will have wait awhile longer while the rest of us get much ahead of you!" Gary laughed.
"Gary!" Prof. Oak yelled scaring his grandson, "You keep that up mister and I will make you wait alongside Natsumi!"
"Sorry gramps." Gary said lowering his head down as the other three laughed.
"Ahem. If you're done let me introduce you to the three Pokemon you will choose." Prof. Oak walked to the table and opened the balls one by one.
From the leaf symbol ball came out a grass/poison type that looked like a small dinosaur, with a big bulb growing on its back.
"Bulbasaur!"
From the flame symbol ball was a a fire type that looked like a small lizard with a flame at the tip of its tail.
"Charmander!"
And finally from the bubble symbol ball was a water type that looked like a small, blue turtle.
"Squirtle!"
"And here they are! The Grass-type Bulbasaur!" Prof. Oak introduced gesturing to the green bulb Pokemon. "The Fire-type Charmander!" Next is the reptilian with the flame. "And finally the Water-type Squirtle!" Finally the small blue turtle.
"Aw! They are all so cute!" The girl squealed with sparkling eyes.
"Cute as they are, they'er also really strong. Pick the Pokemon for you and your lives will change forever. So which one of you is gonna first?" Prof. Oak asked putting the Pokeballs back on the table on the exact order they were in.
"Well ladies first." Gary offered.
The girl smiled, "Thank you and I pick...um... Bulbasaur." she said, "I've always wanted a Bulbasaur as my starter."
"Bulba." Bulbasaur smiled.
The girl grabbed the leaf Pokeball and returned the green Pokemon back to its Pokeball.
"Okay, next?" Prof. Oak asked turning to the other two.
"I'll go and I pick Charmander." The boy said and pick up the fire Pokeball, he returned the fire lizard back to its Pokeball.
"Man. I can't believe that I'm going last." Gary complained walking towards Squirtle. "Oh well, I've always wanted a Squirtle." He then grabbed the bubble symbol Pokeball and pointed it at the turtle, Squirtle was absorbed in the ball with the red light.
"Now that you all have your Pokemon let me give you a few more things." Prof. Oak said walking towards his desk and opened the drawer to reach in. He brought three red handheld devices that seem to open at the front.
When he got them, the Professor walked back to the three trainers, "These are your Pokedex. They give you information on any Pokemon you encounter. You get more when you capture it." He then each gave the three one.
"This is cool!" The boy exclaimed excitedly.
"It lists everything about the Pokemon?" The girl asked.
Prof. Oak nodded, "Every information you need on the Pokemon you catch."
"And it will be an accomplishment to complete it." Gary added pocketing his Pokedex.
"True, but don't get caught up in it."
"Yeah yeah. If you're done, I'm gonna get started on my journey."
Natsu sighs quietly at his attitude.
"Wait. I will give you all one more thing." Prof. Oak said digging into his lab coat pocket. "To start off you will each get five empty Pokeballs." he explained giving them five Pokeballs each. "If you want more, you would have to buy them with your own money."
The boy and girl nodded, "Thanks Prof. Oak. Bye!" They both waved and left.
"No problem gramps. I better get going. Those badges aren't going to be collected themselves." Gary said before walking towards the door.
"Tch, your loss. Smell y'll later." Gary began to walk before looking Natsu. "Good luck catching up, Natsuo-girl."
"Stop calling me that!" Natsu growled as she watch Gary walking past her and out the door.
They all heard some driving sounds after a few moments.
"Does he even have a driver's license?"
"Who knows." Prof. Oak responded.
'At least we won't have to deal with him for awhile.' Lightning spoke, 'He's was starting to get on my nerves badly.' he huffs.
"You have no idea." Natsu added.
Prof. Oak agreed, Natsu turned to him, "Well Natsumi, it's about time to get you sorted.
Natsu beamed up at that statement, "Of course."
Prof. Oak chuckled. "Follow me." With that the two walked towards a container on one of the desks as the Professor opened it.
Inside reveals to be seemingly a Pokedex though it has some different features, its looks a 3DS console, the colors are deep sky-blue with dodger blue buttons that has crimson outlines and yellow lightning bolts patterns on the front cover. [Sinnoh Region Pokedex but different colors.]
"Natsumi. This is Dexter. The most advanced Pokedex I have ever created by far." Prof. Oak explained Dexter up from the desk. "I also had its color custom made."
"What's so advanced about it?" Natsu asked.
"I'm glad you ask my girl. Not only it will give you information on any Pokemon, and I do mean any as it has National Mode so you scan Pokemon from other regions other than Kanto."
"Wow." Natsu breathed out clearly amazed.
"I created it from Sinnoh region Pokedex designed. I also added a Trainer's Guide that lists all the moves and tells you how to learn them. It also acts as a transfer you can transport your Pokemon to my ranch and I also added a function in the Pokedex which allows you to release the Pokemon you want just by touching the Pokemon's name."
"That's amazing! You are a genius professor!" Natsu exclaimed excitedly.
'I agree.' Lightning added.
"I don't know about that." Prof. Oak assured and handed her the Pokedex, "There just turn it on."
Natsu accepted Dexter with her right hand. "Okay." She flipped in on and a few seconds later the Pokedex screens were turned on with an image of Natsu along with some information.
[I am Dexter. A Pokedex programmed by Professor Oak for Pokemon Trainer Natsumi Destiny Mew Shiroibara of Pallet Town. My function is to provide Natsumi with information and advice regrading Pokemon and their training. If I am lost or stolen, I will teleport back to my owner.] Dexter informed in a female mechanical voice.
"So cool!" Natsu exclaimed once again. "And to think you kept this a secret to everyone including Gary."
"Well, I love the boy, but he is too arrogant to deserve such a technology as Dexter. Don't tell him I said that." Prof. Oak said
'No worries.' Lightning assured him.
"Right." Natsu said closing Dexter and pocketed it in her coat.
"And since you have been travelling for three years you have unlimited amount."
Natsu's jaw dropped with Lightning.
"Un-unlimited?!" Natsu yelled in shock. "But why Professor?"
"Well, I know that none of your Pokemon wants to be separated from you no matter what, so I decide to let you keep all your Pokemon, instead of six like the new Trainers. But you still have to obey 6-on-6 for a full battle rule."
Natsu couldn't believe it, "Thank you very much Prof. Oak."
"No worries, but I will ask you sometime to send some of your Pokemon so I can study them a bit."
"No problem."
Prof. Oak reached in his pocket to bring out five more Pokeballs and handed them to Natsu, "I know you have several Pokeballs already but it is League rules."
Natsu pocketed the Pokeballs after accepting them, "I know."
Prof. Oak smiled at that, "I thought you were going to say that. So I have nothing left to tell you. Now go Natsumi. It's time to begin your journey."
Natsu nodded excitedly. "Right! See ya later Professor!"
'See ya.' Lighting waved back.
Natsu then began to run toward the door leaving a smiling Prof. Oak.
"That girl will become one of the greatest Trainers I have ever seen." Prof. Oak muttered before going back to his work.
Back at home, Aerith was waiting for Natsu with Seraphina, Neko and Kaisa, when they saw her coming up the path.
"Got your Pokemon dear?" Aerith asked.
"No, because there wasn't enough but I get to have Lightning as my starter Pokemon instead." Natsu explained.
'I wasn't really surprised by that.' Seraphina said.
'Since there are only three starters for every region.' Kaisa continued.
'Oh, Natsu a package came from Volkner and Flint.' Neko said as she jumped onto her shoulder.
Natsu blinked, "Package this early. I wonder why?"
"I don't know but here." Aerith handed her a small box.
Natsu blinked a couple of times before opening it up showing a weird triangular-like device, with the colors light blue with navy and lightning bolts pattern decorated around and she saw a note attached to it, she silently read it. [Xtransceiver from the Unova Region but different colors]
Hey Nappu,
Happy birthday little sis! We know that today is the day you start your Pokemon Journey, so Volkner and I thought about giving you a present. The device you received is called an Xtranscevier, its built from Unova region and we had it made custom colors for you, pretty cool huh? Anyway it allows you to hold four video conservation at the same time and also displays a map of the region you are in, Volkner and I got one too and so are your Uncle Lance and your cousins; Riley and Clair, so we'll call you from time to time to check up on you.
Take care now and good luck on your journey.
From your big brothers,
Flint and Volkner.
"Wow, what wonderful brothers they are." Aerith smiled, "And the design is just beautiful."
'More like overprotective.' Natsu nodded and put the Xtransceiver on her left wrist and examined it, "True they custom it really nice. Lightning bolts huh? Almost the same as my Pokedex color." she said amused by the color.
"Well, I wish you good luck on your Pokemon journey Natsumi." Aerith smiled and she handed her bag to her. "I packed everything you need, including Pokemon food and your lunch, also I returned all your Pokemon to their Pokeballs before you came."
"Wow, thanks mum." Natsu smiled and hugged her mother.
"No worries dear I'm so proud of you." Aerith said as she looked at all of her daughter's Pokemon, "Now I want you all to look after each other okay?"
'Of course." Everyone replied.
"Bye Natsumi, I want everyone to be careful on your journey and stay out of trouble."
"Of course mum! Bye." Natsu returned Kaisa and Seraphina back to their Pokeballs while Lightning and Neko company her shoulders, setting off on her journey through Kanto begins.
