Chapter 1


Introduction

In this world, there exist a vast amount of strange, extravagant creatures. We humans have live in peaceful co-existence with these creatures for as far back as record shows. These creatures, known to us as Pokemon, live in numerous places. On record, there are 493 Pokemon, and possibly even more to discover. Humans live with these Pokemon as pets, partners, and even tools. Some people, on their tenth birthday, set out on a quest with a Pokemon partner of their own as trainers, to compete in numerous contests of skill, grace, beauty, and power. Others set out just to see all there is to be seen. Some use the powers of Pokemon to perform evil deeds and misdoings. So is the case, in the vast world of Pokemon.



The sun blazed heavily overhead as Kuro stepped out into the arena. Wiping the sweat from his brow, he reached into his belt and pulled out a small red and white ball with a button in the middle. With a push of the button the ball suddenly grew, he threw it out onto the field and with a burst of white light, a giant blue dragon with red wings popped out of it. With a powerful flap of its wings and a strong burst of fire from its mouth, Kuro could tell it was ready to fight. The dragon turned around to face its trainer, jumped into the air, and with one powerful dash, lunged at Kuro. Kuro screamed, but no noise could be heard, the dragon opened its huge mouth, revealing several rows of powerful looking teeth. Its mouth grew wider and wider until.......




THOWMP!!!!!


In a mess of jumbled sheets climbed out Kuro. He sighed and shook his head, his scraggly black hair bobbed as he did so. Just a nightmare, He thought, breathing heavily as he got up. He looked around, same old boring room, another same old boring day. He yawned, stretched, and looked at his clock, 7:00 AM. He threw on his usual attire, a plain black shirt and blue jeans. Shaking his head again to get his hair just the way he liked it, he walked over to the calendar, August 14.....AUGUST 14!?!?!?!? Kuro thought he was still dreaming so he slapped himself once, Nope, awake, he thought stupidly. He took another look at the calendar, then at his watch. It was August 14!! His 10th birthday!!! Kuro grinned, and ran off to the bathroom, there was so much to do, so little time! After a quick 10 minute teeth brushing and shower, Kuro ran out the door and set off on the road at full speed to the one place every new ten year old ran off to, Professor Oak's Lab!

Ever since the only trainer to compete in every Pokemon League challenge and Battle Frontier became the Champion and head of a brand new Frontier arena, every Pokemon Lab now carried all twelve starter Pokemon, giving rookie's a great selection to pick from. They were all basically the same type, so no matter which one you chose, every trainer still had a fair advantage. There was Bulbasaur, Charmander, and Squirtle from Kanto. Chikorita, Cyndaquil, and Totodile from Johto, Treecko, Torchic, and Mudkip from Hoenn, And Turtwig, Chimchar, and Piplup from Sinnoh. All nine of these Pokemon were also the same type, Bulbasaur, Chikorita, Treecko, and Turtwig were all Grass Types. Charmander, Cyndaquil, Torchic, and Chimchar were all Fire Types. Squirtle, Totodile, Mudkip, and Piplup were all Water Types. Kuro already had in mind which Pokemon he was ready to start with, all he was hoping now was that they hadn't already given him away!


After about ten minutes, Kuro arrived at Professor Oak's Lab. He stopped at the door, took a deep breath, and rang the door bell. The door slid open and at the door was a tall, dark-haired man in a green shirt. In his hands were a sketchpad, and a bowl of what appeared to be Pokemon food.

"Oh, you must be the new trainer starting out today!" he exclaimed, he put his sketchbook underneath his chin and extended his hand, "My name's Tracey, and you must be Kuro right?" Kuro scratched his head dumbly, "Uhhhhh......yeah, that'd be me," he shook his hand politely. Tracey motioned him in.


"So, have you decided which Pokemon you're going to choose?" Tracey inquired. Kuro shook his head excitedly, then asked, "Where's the Professor? I heard he's usually here for these sort of things." "Oh, he went over to Hoenn to catch up with Professor Birch, Professor Elm, and Professor Rowan to talk about old, nearly extinct Pokemon." Kuro chuckled a little about how all the professor’s had last names of trees. They walked into a gigantic room filled with high-tech equipment, blinking lights, machine's buzzing around, and the sound of printing papers flooded the room. In the middle was a cylinder machine with nine holes surrounding it. Tracey went over and pushed a button, and out of those nine holes popped nine little red and white balls.


"So, which Pokemon do you want? One of the Kanto starters right?" Kuro shook his head, "Ok, I'll let you pick," Tracey went over to a machine and pushed one button on the console. The balls opened up revealing 5 Pokemon left. Kuro looked, Bulbasaur, Cyndaquil, Chikorita, Chimchar, TREECKO!!!! He ran over to Treecko and did a motion. Treecko understood and immediately jumped onto his shoulder. Tracey nodded in approval, "It seems like you two were made for each other!" He smiled. Treecko jumped down, took one look at look at the lab, then at Kuro, and smiled. It seemed happy to finally get to leave the stuffy old lab for the outside world. "Just a couple more things first," Tracey ran over to another machine, pushed two more buttons, and two compartment's opened up. He pulled out a red rectangular machine, and five more balls. "You'll need your Pokedex and Pokeballs." He handed them both to Kuro. Kuro couldn't contain himself any longer, and shouted to the sky, "Look out Pokemon League, Here I come!!!"



As Kuro and Treecko were preparing to leave, Tracey came running after them. He stopped to catch his breath for a moment, then said, "Now, you're first stop will want to be Viridian City, there you can sign up for the Pokemon League and have a practice match in the Viridian Gym," he pointed ahead, "It's directly north of Pallet, you can't miss it." Kuro nodded in an approval, waved farewell, and began on his journey. Right before he was out of Pallet's sight, he turned around for one last glimpse and sighed. He turned to Treecko, "Today begins the start of a great adventure!" Treecko, gave him thumbs up and grinned. He could have sworn that its teeth glimmered for a mere second, but he figured it must have been the sun. With a shrug, they left Pallet together. Kuro and Treecko's journey had begun!






Author's Note: O.......M.......G...... it took me TWO days to write that!!!! But, I’m glad it's done... I thought of this today and decided, I’m going to try to write a new chapter once every 2 days or so. Except on weekends, I’m going to write as much as possible, but right now, I’m going to take a mere break.
