Chapter 1

My Journey Awaits!

In this big bustling city, there is a trainer destined for greatness. His name is Joshua Sheppard, and this is the beginning of his incredible journey.

Josh: "Dang, I never noticed how big this place was."

This is Josh, the protagonist. He is an African American, with brown eyes and typically short black guy hair. He wears a halfway unzipped, black hoodie with a white t-shirt underneath and a golden cross necklace, blue jeans, and black sneakers.

Josh: "Where do you think we should go?"

Josh was talking to his partner Cyndaquil. Cyndaquil has been Josh's closet friend since he was little and has long awaited the day he could travel and go on a journey with him.

Cyndaquil looked around for a bit, then started tugging on Josh's pants leg and pointing toward a park where a bunch of trainers were battling.

Josh: "Good idea Cyndaquil, I've been itching for some action."

Josh and Cyndaquil wait until the stoplight turned green and then ran over to the park. There they met a trainer itching to battle as much as they were, his name was Joey. He had spiked up hair, blue eyes, wore a blue t-shirt, black basketball shorts, and white sneakers.

Joey: "I hope you're ready, because I don't think you know what you're getting in to."

Josh: "Well I think you talk too much let's start the battle first and then you can talk smack."

Joey: "Better watch what you say, because here I come!" "Go Poochyena!"

Josh: "Alright let's get going!" "Go Cyndaquil!"

Cyndaquil runs up to battle and lights up the flames on its back.

Joey: "This is a one on one Pokémon battle; the trainer who's Pokémon is unable to battle first is the loser, let the battle begin!"

Josh: "Cyndaquil use Leer"

Cyndaquil stares down Poochyena. Poochyena lets its guard down and starts to back up.

Joey: "What are you doing Poochyena, STAND YOUR GROUND!"

Poochyena snaps out of it and jumped back to its previous position.

Joey: "Okay Poochyena use Tackle."

Josh: "Match his Tackle with your own Cyndaquil."

Cyndaquil and Poochyena butt heads back and forth.

Joey: "Use Bite Poochyena!"

Poochyena chomps down on Cyndaquil. Cyndaquil screams in pain, Poochyena is biting hard.

Josh: "Shake it off Cyndaquil!"

Cyndaquil starts shaking wildly tossing Poochyena like a ragdoll until it finally let go. Soon after Cyndaquil's back lights back on fire and then Cyndaquil starts shooting these fire pellets at Poochyena.

Josh: "Alright, Cyndaquil you learned Ember!"

Joey: "Poochyena get out of the way!"

Poochyena struggled to get up, but it was too late and Poochyena got hit with a barrage of fire pellets; which knocked out Poochyena and won Josh the battle.

Josh: "Yeah! Good job Cyndaquil!"

Josh runs toward Cyndaquil and Cyndaquil jumps in to Josh's arms saying "Cynda, Cynda" with great joy.

Joey: "Hey you're not a bad trainer." *he says while returning Poochyena back into his pokéball.

Josh: "You're not so bad yourself you know?" "I thought you almost had me with that Bite attack."

Joey: "We should battle again someday."

Josh: "Sure, if we meet up again I won't hesitate to battle you."

Joey: "Awesome I'm just gonna head down to the Pokémon Center."

Josh: "Okay you do that"

Joey then runs off to the direction of the Pokémon Center.

Josh: "Hey Cyndaquil let's look around for a bit before we go to the Pokémon Center.

Cyndaquil happily says "Cynda" and they both start walking together.
