CHAPTER 1: THE JOURNEY BEGINS

"I choose charmander" Kenneth picks up Charmander and pets it "cha-charmander".

"Then I choose squirtle" Gary said.

"Well I will take bulbasaur" Nick said.

"So, you all made your mind" Professor asked.

"Yeah" Kenneth said.

"Now that we all got our Pokémon. Who wants a battle?" Gary asked while looking at Nick and Kenneth.

"Now is not a time for battle" Nick said.

"I will battle you" Kenneth said.

Kenneth, Nick, Gary and Professor walk towards an open lawn. Kenneth and Gary take their position.

"I will be referee for this match" Professor takes their position and announces the rules.

"This is one on one match if either side of Pokémon is unable to battle losses the match".

"Charmander use growl and then scratch" Kenneth commanded his Pokémon.

"Squirtle dodge it".

Gary's Squitle dodges all the attacks.

"Now use tackle".

Charmander takes a direct hit but thanks to growl it did not took much damage.

"Charmander use growl again and again" Kenneth yelled.

Squirtle uses tackle again but it did not do much damage.

"Now is your chance use scratch".

Charmander used many scratch attack. Squirtle fell down and fainted.

"Squirtle is unable to battle charmander wins. The victory goes to Kenneth" Professor announced.

"Oh Yes!" Kenneth picks up charmander and pets it.

"You just won by luck" Gary smirks and walks away.

"Hey Ken, that was amazing battle. I would like to battle you next time. See you later" Nick said while putting his hand on Kenneth's shoulder and then leaves lab.

"I will see you around next time" Kenneth said and leaves Lab.

"Good thing that I brought Kanto map with me. So, the closest gym is in Viridian city".

As Kenneth heads towards Viridian city. He sees a pidgy.

"A pidgy, I think I should catch it. Go! Charmander use scratch.

Charmander lands a direct hit. The wild pidgey used quick attack.

"Whoa! That was fast. It doesn't matter use scratch again".

The wild pidgey falls to ground.

"This is my chance. Oh! No I don't have Poke ball "cha".

The wild pidgey runs away.

"Next time I better come prepared "Kenneth sighs.

Just then charmander breaths fire.

"Huh. I think charmander just learned ember.

After walking for few minutes. Kenneth arrives is Viridian city. He goes in Pokémon center and gets his Pokémon healed up. Then he goes in Poke mart. A shop keeper looks at Ken and says"hey you must be Kenneth right".

"How would you know" Ken asked.

"Professor Oak told me you where coming. Here take this parcel. Can you deliver it to Professor?" he asked.

"Uhh… sure" Kenneth puts the parcel in his back and head towards Professor Oak's lab.

Ken arrives at Oak's lab and hand it over to Professor. Soon later Gary and Nick enter.

"Why did you called us back" Gary asked.

"Before you go to your journey takes this Poke dex. It's advance technology that gives you information. About Pokémon you have seen. Also take this Poke ball".

Professor hands over Poke dex and five Poke ball to everyone. Ken heads back towards Viridian city. While heading towards Viridian city he catches a rattata. He arrives at Viridian city gym but it's closed.

"Why is this gym closed" Ken said.

"This gym is always closed".

Ken turns around to see an old man.

"When is it going to open" Ken asked.

"I don't know nobody knows who gym leader is" the old man said.

"Well there is another gym in Pewter city" the man said.

Kenneth quickly opens his map to see where it is.

"I need to head towards north from here".

Kenneth enters in Viridian City. After walking for few moments he sees a Pikachu eating some berries. Kenneth sends out his rattata.

"Rattata I choose you. Use quick attack" Kenneth commands his Pokémon. The wild Pikachu takes a direct hit. The wild Pikachu uses thunder shock. Rattata quickly faints.

"No! Rattata" Kenneth switches to charmander. "Charmander use ember" charmander's ember attack deals lot of damage. "Now is my chance. Go! Poke ball." The poke ball shakes for few moments and stops

"Yeah! I caught a Pikachu""cha-charmander"

After battling other trainers and making his team stronger. Kenneth finally arrives in Pewter city

"Pewter city gym here I come"
