Chapter one: The boy with the green hair
How could this happen! Today was supposed to be the best day of my Life. Instead I was running for my life next to my best friends in a creepy dark forest. A humongous black creature with long claws and blood-red eyes was after us. Behind it were hundreds of people in strange knight outfits. The scariest thing was the boy with green hair standing on the black creature, controlling the beast and army. He looked down on us with cruel green eyes. Both Cheren and Bianca were captured and killed by the beast. The only ones left were me, Utsukushii White 美しい白, and my other best friend, Kami Black 黒神. Kami and I were getting tired and couldn't get away from the enemies. All of a sudden Kami trips on a root sticking out of the ground.
"Ow! Nooo Utsukushii, keep going, forget about me!" Kami cried seeing me turning around.
I ignore him and pull him up off the ground. Then I push him away. We start running again with me pushing Kami because of how tired he is. The black beast is about to grab me but at the last second Kami pushes me away and then he is caught and killed.
"No, no, no ,no, NO! This wasn't supposed to happen. This can't happen!" I yelled. The monster grabs me with its huge clawed hands and lifts me to the boy with the green hair.
He looks at me and says, "You're different from the others. Let's not kill her she could be useful…" I looked at him horrified. I rather die than help the guy who killed my best friends.
"NOOOOOOOOOO!" I yell waking up sweating in my purple bed. Good it was just a dream.
Today is my 15th birthday. Five days ago it was my friend Bianca's 15th birthday. 2½ months ago it was Cheren's 15th birthday. Kami would have been 15 a month ago, that is he hadn't disappeared three years ago. Kami was our best friend but when we were twelve he had suddenly disappeared. For some reason I can't forget about him. Professor Juniper said she would give each of us a Pokémon. Most trainers get their first Pokémon when their ten, but the professor said we weren't mature enough to own a Pokémon.
I quickly got dressed in my favorite outfit which is my snow white tank top, with a black vest, and blue short shorts with white markings on them. I then combed my hair and put it in a ponytail. I only left out two curly strands for looks. I pulled on my shoes and grabbed my bag. Then I ran downstairs and saw that my mom had made bacon and eggs.
My mom has Aqua blue eyes and long brown hair that she wears in a fluffy ponytail. She has a blue headband on, a long sleeve white shirt, and jeans. "Oh honey, you're awake. I made breakfast for you."
"Oh, thanks." I respond starting to dig in. Bacon is my favorite food. I could sing a whole song about it 'Bacon oh bacon, bacon, bacon, bacon oh bacon.'
After Breakfast my mom grabs a black and white present from upstairs and hands it to me. "Happy Birthday, Utsukushii."
I untie the white ribbon and rip off the black wrapping paper. Then open the box to find a pink and white hat, black and pink running shoes, and a black and red Xtransceiver. "Oh mom, thank you so much!" I cheered. I put on the hat, trade my old shoes for the running shoes, and put the Xtransceiver on my left wrist.
"Oh! Before I forget!" says my mom and goes back into the kitchen by the phone. She picks up a postcard and brings it back to the table. "This is from your father."
I say nothing and take the postcard and look at it. The front of the postcard is a picture of a town with two towers and a huge golden bird on it. I glance at the back and read the message from my dad. It said: Wish you a happy birthday and good luck on being a Pokémon trainer. Wish I was there. See you soon. ~Dad
"I wish he was here today," says my mom sadly.
I walked to the trash can and throw the postcard in it. Then I say to my mom not looking at her so she can't see the tears in my eyes, "Mom, I bet he will never come back, all he cares about is exploring places he has never been to. If he cared he would bring us with him or stay here." I have problems with my dad. The day after I was born my dad abandoned my mother and me to go exploring places away from the Unova region.
My mom lets out a sigh and says, "You know that's not true."
Before I had the time to respond the doorbell rang. I dried my eyes and opened the door. It was Professor Juniper. She handed me a blue and green box. "That holds the three starter Pokémon wait for Cheren and Bianca before opening it." I go upstairs and place the box on my table.
A little while later Cheren comes to my room. Cheren has short black hair, red glasses, dark blue eyes, wears a light blue jacket, a white shirt with a red Y on it, black pants, and blue sneakers. He hands me a book that says Pokémon Training for Dummies. "Happy Birthday, Utsukushii."
"Thank you Cheren." I respond and place in my bag. After five minutes of waiting for Bianca he gets impatient.
"What's keeping Bianca? That slowpoke could take forever to just go to her best friend's house. What's wrong with her!"
"Cheren there's nothing wrong with Bianca she's just… flighty." I responded. Cheren sighs and then Bianca walks into the room. Bianca has puffy blond hair, sparkly green eyes, wears a lime green hat, a white and orange shirt, a white skirt, orange tights, and yellow flats
"Am I late again? So-oooo-ory!" Bianca cries.
"Bianca… I've known for ten years that you have no sense of time, but…seriously… Today's the day we can get a Pokémon from Professor Juniper!" Cheren shouts.
"I know. Sorry, Cheren. Sorry, Utsukushii. It's Utsukushii Birthday, so Utsukushii gets first pick." Bianca cheers.
"Naturally. The Pokémon are waiting for us inside that present. OK, Utsukushii you go first and take a peek at the present. I want to meet the Pokémon right now!" Cheren responds.
Bianca quickly hands me a bag with yellow flowers on it, full of homemade pokefood before I get to the Pokémon. "Happy Birthday, Utsukushii."
"Thanks, Bianca." I say and walk up to the box Professor Juniper gave me. I opened the gift box. Inside was a note saying: I've brought three Pokémon, one for you and one for each of your friends. Please settle your choices politely. Enjoy your Pokémon!
-Professor Juniper
There was three Pokéballs inside each with a card under it. The middle said: The Fire-type Pokémon Tepig, the one on the right says: The water-type Pokémon Oshawott, and the one on the left says: The grass-type Pokémon Snivy. I grabbed Snivy because green is my favorite color.
"OK, I'll take this Pokémon!" Says Bianca grabbing Oshawott. "Cheren that one's yours!"
"Hey, how come you get to pick out my Pokémon?" Cheren growls. Bianca gives Cheren her puppy dog face. Her green eyes get all big and cute and she looks like she's going to cry. Cheren's face goes red and he gives in. "Oh, never mind. I wanted Tepig from the start, anyway."
"Everyone has chosen a Pokémon! So that's that! Hey I know! Let's have a Pokémon battle!" Bianca shouts.
"Honestly, Bianca you shouldn't have Pokémon battles inside a house." Cheren snapped.
Bianca gives Cheren her puppy dog face again. Cheren face turns red. "Don't be a worrywart! These little ones are weak. We have to let them battle so they'll get stronger. It's settled, Utsukushii! Get ready for a Pokémon battle!" Bianca called.
Both Bianca and I threw our Pokéballs in the air. Out came Snivy and Oshawott facing each other. Snivy looked like a green snake with cute little arms and legs. He had a pale skin color underbelly. The end of his tail was a three point leaf. Lastly his eyes were an intense red. Oshawott looked like a cute blue and white otter. He had a yellow seashell on his belly and big round eyes.
"Snivy use leer," I called. Snivy ignored me and charge at Oshawott using tackle. Oshawott screams and crashes into my TV.
"Oh no, Oshawott use tackle," Bianca called. Oshawott started to chase Snivy across the room and up on my bed. This caused the sheets to go flying across the room. Snivy got hit and knocked over my pot with a small tree in it.
"Snivy use tackle," I called. Snivy looks defiant and uses leer instead. Oshawott uses this opportunity to tackle Snivy into my bookcase causing it to fall over with all my books. Angered Snivy knocks Oshawott away with his tail and tackle him into the trash can. The trash can went flying and landed on top of Oshawott. Oshawott fainted, Snivy was the winner.
"The Pokémon on both sides did their best," Bianca called returning Oshawott. "Wow… Utsukushii, you're gonna be an awesome Trainer someday, I can tell! No doubt!"
"Thanks" I say happy from Snivy and my win (even if he didn't listen to me).
"Uh… … Bianca, would you take a look around?" Cheren indicated.
Bianca looks around my room and gasps. "Whoa! What happened! Wow! Pokémon are amazing! So little, but so strong! I'm so glad that I get to have a Pokémon!" Bianca cheers. Then Cheren shoots her a look and Bianca says, "Oh. Um, sorry about your room, Utsukushii."
"It's OK I need to redecorate it anyways." I laugh. Man this is going to take forever to clean I thought bitterly.
"You… are completely hopeless." Cheren says angrily to Bianca.
Bianca puts on her 'innocent' face and says, "Then why didn't you stop me?" Cheren turns red (again), doesn't answers this and walks to the other side of the room and grabs the trash can and places it where it belongs. He throws the trash back in it. I try not to laugh at my friends. They are so silly at times.
"Hey, Cheren! How about you battle, too? With all you know, I'm sure you can battle without turning the room into a disaster area like I did!" Bianca requests of Cheren.
"Sure," He responded. "Besides, it's not fair if you two are the only ones who get to have fun battling! It's decided. You'll be my opponent in my first Pokémon battle! Let's see what you can do, Tepig! I've finally become a trainer… everything starts here."
Tepig is a little orange pig with long brown ears, brown hooves, and has a springy brown tail with an orange sphere attached. Snivy and Tepig duked it out until Tepig was defeated when Snivy hit him into my desk knocking down the box that originally held the three Pokémon.
"Oh so that's a Pokémon battle. I made a strange blunder in my first battle, but this feeling I have… I'm finally a trainer. But first, we'd better go apologize to your mother about this messed up room." Cheren indicated.
"Oh! I better come, too!" Bianca stammered.
"I'll have to explain this too," I mumbled. We all walked downstairs to the living room were my mom was drinking tea. We explained what happened and she said she would clean it up for us. We left to go find Professor Juniper.
"Wow you guys have already battled! I'm surprised; well know is the time to nickname your Pokémon so they can start to learn their name." Professor Juniper exclaimed. I decided to name Snivy Hokori (Pride in Japanese). "As for why I gave all of your Pokémon is for you guys to complete the Unova region Pokédex. So, I want you three to visit many places and meet all of the Pokémon in the Unova Region. This is my request. Utsukushii! Cheren! Bianca! You'll go on an adventure to complete the Pokédex, will you not?"
"Of course," We all say in unison.
"Thank you guys," the professor says handing each of us a Pokédex. "Now here are five Pokéballs for each of you guys. Good luck on your journey."
We all ran out to Route 1. This was all our first time out of our hometown, Nuvema Town.
"Guys I sorta want to go on my own adventure to discover what I want to do when I'm an adult and to see everywhere in the Unova region." Bianca whispered.
"It's okay I want to go on my own that way I can get all the gym badges and beat the Elite four by myself," Cheren stated.
"I will miss you guys," I say looking down. I didn't want to be alone, but at least I have Hokori and I wasn't going to be selfish and stop my friend's dreams. The others looked at me and nodded. We separated and went off on our own. I battled a few trainers on my way to Accumula Town and beat all of them. I saw a few wild Pokémon but they all ran away before I got the chance to catch one. When I finally reached Accumula Town Hokori had started to listen to me and it was evening. I let out Hokori and held him in my arms. I was going to carry him to the Pokémon Center, but there was a commotion in the center of the town so I went to see what was wrong. Then I stopped dead in my tracks. Near the front was the boy with the green hair. He couldn't be real could he! Then he turned and looked at me straight in the eyes.
