Synopsis: Gold runs an errand for Professor Elm but upon his return, he encounters a young male who quickly challenges Gold to a battle. Upon returning to the lab, he discovers the male was a thief who stole a Pokémon. From here, his journey to become the Pokémon League champion begins…


RATED PG FOR CARTOON VIOLENCE…



(The intro music to Gold and Silver plays, but in an enhanced form. Pictures of the entire Pokémon games scroll down the screen. First comes X and Y, then comes Black and White, then comes Diamond and Pearl, and then comes Ruby and Sapphire. After that comes Gold and Silver. Then it scrolls down to Red and Blue. Finally, it scrolls back up to Gold and Silver and the two games shine brightly before everything disappears)


(A white screen is visible with a small rectangle in the top left corner. 2 options are available, New Game and Options. A small arrow is sitting next to the New Game option. The arrow moves down to Options before moving back up to New Game. The arrow fades away followed by the screen itself)


There is a large room that is pitch black. After a second, multiple lights switch on, all facing towards a man, Professor Oak, standing by himself…


Prof Oak: Hello! Sorry to keep you waiting! Welcome to the world of Pokémon! My name is Oak. People call me Pokémon Professor. This world is inhabited by creatures that we call Pokémon


Oak reaches around his back and grabs a Poke-ball from the back of his belt. He throws it into the air. The ball suddenly opens and a Marill appears. It lands on Oak’s shoulder. Oak catches the Poke-ball and pats the Marill on its head before continuing to speak…


Oak: This world is inhabited by creatures that we call Pokémon. People and Pokémon live together by supporting each other. Some people play with Pokémon and some battle with them.


Oak holds the Poke-ball in front of him. The ball opens and Marill disappears into it. Oak straps the ball back to his belt and continues to speak…


Oak: But we don’t know everything about Pokémon yet. There are still many mysteries to solve. That’s why I study Pokémon every day.


Oak: Now, the world of Pokémon waits. Let’s get started…


Everything fades away before the view of a small town slowly fades onto the screen, accompanied by the New Bark Town music. Two Pidgey’s fly through the sky. There are 3 houses in this town and a large building. In one of these houses on the top floor, a young man is putting his shoes on…


His mother, who is downstairs, calls out to him…


Mother: Gold! I need to see you!


Gold: In a second, mother!


Gold finishes putting his shoes on and grabs his hat before putting it on. He grabs his backpack and puts it on his back before running down the stairs. Suddenly, Gold trips and falls down the stairs…


As he gets to the bottom of the stairs, his mother quickly rushes to his side and helps him stand up…


Mother: Are you alright, Gold?


Gold: Yeah, I’m fine


Mother: You need to start being more careful


Gold: Sorry, I was rushing. Anyway, what do you need to see me for?


Mother: Well, Professor Elm was looking for you. He wanted you to do something for him


Gold: Alright, I’ll head to the lab now


His mother suddenly runs to the table and picks up a silver device with a blank screen on it…


Mother: I almost forgot, your Pokémon Gear came back from the repair shop. Here you go


She hands the gear to Gold who grabs it and stares at the screen…


Mother: It’s also known as the PokeGear. It’s essential for anyone who wishes to be a good trainer. Oh, the date isn’t set on it yet


Gold switches on the PokeGear and presses some buttons on the screen before spelling out Wednesday. After pressing some more buttons, he spells out 10:00 Am…


Gold: Is it Daylight Saving right now?


Mother: No, it’s not Daylight Saving. But you should always come home and adjust your PokeGear for Daylight Saving whenever necessary. Also, do you know how to use the phone?


Gold: No, I don’t


Mother: You just turn on the PokeGear and select the phone icon. Phone numbers are stored in memory. Just select a name to call that person


Gold: Gee, isn’t that convenient? Anyway, I’ll head to the lab now


Mother: Ok, see you soon Gold


Gold places the PokeGear in his backpack and rushes out the door before running towards the large building. Before he runs to the door, Gold notices a young male with red hair staring through the window to the lab. Curious, Gold walks over to the male…


Male: So this is the famous Elm lab?


He turns and spots Gold before angrily storming over to him…


Male: What are you staring at?!


He suddenly pushes Gold away before walking back to the window. Gold wipes his clothes before walking into the lab. Inside, 2 men in coats are sitting at computers with pictures on Pokémon on them.


A third man, Elm, is standing next to a large machine. He has brown hair and is wearing glasses…


Elm: Gold, there you are. I need to ask you for a favour


He turns to the machine. Inside are three Poke-balls. One has a leaf icon, one has a flame icon and the third has a water droplet icon…


Elm: I am currently studying the bonds between people and Pokémon and I have discovered something amazing. I have discovered that if a trainer was to travel around with a Pokémon outside of its ball, the bond between the two would increase even further then if the Pokémon was kept in its ball


Gold: So what do you need?


Elm: Gold, what I’m about to ask is very important. I want you to pick one of these three Pokémon and go on a journey with it. What do you say?


Gold is shocked by the question. He looks at the Poke-balls in the machine and turns back to Elm before nodding his head…


Elm: Excellent, now come over to the machine. You can now pick one of these Pokémon to travel with you


Elm’s computer suddenly beeps. Elm rushes to the computer and looks at it…


Elm: Wow! It’s incredible


Gold: What is, Professor Elm?


Elm runs past Gold and stands next to the machine…


Elm: I have a friend who goes by the name, Mr Pokémon. He’s always finding rare things and raving about his discoveries. Anyway, I just got an email from his saying that this time, it’s real. It’s intriguing, but we’re busy with our research. Gold, do you think you could go to Mr Pokémon and see what he found?


Gold nods his head. Elm points to the first ball. A picture of a green Pokémon appears on a screen above the machine…


Elm: This is Chikorita, the grass Pokémon. Would you like to take Chikorita?


After a few seconds, Gold shakes his head…


Elm: Alright, but think it over carefully. Your new partner is important


The picture is replaced with a new picture but now it’s a part cream, part black Pokémon with a flame on its back…


Elm: This is Cyndaquil, the fire Pokémon


Gold: I like it, but could I see the last one?


Elm nods his head. The picture is replaced again but now it’s a blue Pokémon with sharp teeth…


Elm: This is Totodile, the water Pokémon. Which one would you like?


Gold looks at the three balls in the machine…


Gold: It’s hard to pick. I like Totodile because he looks powerful, but I also love fire types and Cyndaquil is a fire type. Hmm, I think I’ll choose…Cyndaquil


Elm nods and grabs Cyndaquils ball before handing it to Gold…


Elm: I think it’s a great Pokémon, Gold


Gold throws the Poke-ball in the air. The ball opens and Cyndaquil emerges. It lands in Gold’s arms and hugs him. Gold returns the hug in a happy mood…


Elm: By the way, you have the choice of giving your Pokémon a nickname. Would you like to give Cyndaquil its own nickname?


Gold looks down at Cyndaquil who is happy…


Gold: No thanks, I like Cyndaquil


Elm: Well then, Mr Pokémon lives just above Cherrygrove, the next city


He turns and looks at a small machine near his computer…


Elm: If your Pokémon ever gets hurt, you can heal it with this machine


He turns back to Gold…


Elm: Give me your PokeGear


Gold grabs his PokeGear from his backpack and hands it to Elm. Elm pushes some buttons. A small beep is heard. Elm hands the PokeGear back to Gold…


Elm: I just put my number in your PokeGear. Call me if something comes up


Gold nods his head. Cyndaquil jumps onto Gold’s shoulder. As Gold begins to leave the lab, one of the aids steps away from his computer and walks to Gold…


Aid: Here, I want you to have this for your errand


He grabs a small spray bottle and hands it to Gold. Gold grabs the bottle and looks at it…


Aid: There’s just us 3, so we’re always busy. I’m sure you’ll find some use for that


The aid walks back to his computer. Gold exits the lab and walks towards a path that leads towards Cherrygrove. The male with the red hair stares at Gold as Gold walks away…


(The journey to Cherrygrove is presented as a montage. While travelling, a pidgey appears in front of Gold. Gold orders Cyndaquil to attack. The pidgey is injured and weakly flies away. Moments later, Gold encounters a rattata and orders Cyndaquil to tackle it. Cyndaquil tackles the rattata, causing it to faint. Gold runs and picks up Cyndaquil before hugging it)


Soon enough, Gold arrives in Cherrygrove city, a beautiful city with the water right next to it. A building with a red roof is visible and a building with a blue roof is right next to it…    


Gold enters the building with the blue roof and walks over to a man behind a counter. He purchases two of the same spray bottle that the aid had given him before exiting the building and entering the building with the red roof…


A lady with pink hair, wearing a white dress, is standing behind a counter. She calls out to Gold…


Lady: Hello!


Gold walks over to the lady…


Lady: Welcome to our Pokémon Centre. We can heal your Pokémon back to perfect health. Shall we heal your Pokémon?


Gold nods his head and looks at Cyndaquil. Cyndaquil jumps onto the counter. Gold grabs Cyndaquils ball and places Cyndaquil back in the ball before handing it to the lady. She places the ball in the slot of a machine and pushes a button. The machine flashes a few times before switching off. The lady hands the ball back to Gold…


Lady: Thank you for waiting. Your Pokémon is fully healed


Cyndaquil emerges from the ball and jumps back on Gold’s shoulder…


Lady: We hope to see you again


Gold nods his head before leaving the building. An old man quickly stands in front of Gold…


Man: You’re a rookie, aren’t you?


Gold seems confused. The old man laughs…


Man: It’s alright, I can tell. Everyone is a rookie at some point


Gold nods his head. Cyndaquil looks at the old man. The old man pats Cyndaquil on the head…


Man: I’m not busy right now, so would you like me to give you a tour?


Gold looks at the buildings and turns back to the old man…


Gold: That would be great, thank you


Man: Great, follow me


The man begins to wander the town, explaining the buildings to Gold. He explains that a certain path will lead directly to Mr Pokémon’s house before leading Gold back to a house…


Man: This is my house. Thank you for letting me show you around


Gold: You don’t have to thank me, I needed the tour


Man: Well, here you go. Take this, it is very useful


He hands a small computer chip to Gold. Gold grabs his PokeGear and places the chip in the side. Upon turning on the PokeGear, a map appears on the screen…


Man: It’s a map of Johto. I think you’ll find it very handy. Anyway, I wish you luck on your journey


The man enters the house and closes the door behind him. Gold places the PokeGear back in his backpack before heading down the path to Mr Pokémon’s house…


(Another montage plays. This time, clips of the journey are shown. For each picture, Gold narrates what is happening…)


A clip of Cyndaquil fighting a caterpie is shown…


Gold: (narration) I continued my journey towards Mr Pokémon’s house. Along the way, I stumbled across a caterpie. Cyndaquil defeated it with a powerful tackle and gained the ability to use the move smokescreen in battle.


A clip of Gold picking a berry from a tree is shown…


Gold: (voiceover) I also found a berry in a tree. Cyndaquil liked the look of it so I allowed him to hold onto it


A clip of Gold talking to two kids is shown…


Gold: (voiceover) I also met two youngsters named Joey and Mikey, who were battling each other. The fight was intense but they were blocking the path so I had to take an alternate route


The montage ends and Gold is shown standing outside a house…


Gold: (to himself) Is this it?


He opens the front door and walks inside. 2 old men are in the house talking to each other. One of them spots Gold and quickly walks over to him…


Man: Hello! Hello! You must be Gold. Professor Elm said that you would visit. This item is what I want Elm to examine


He runs over to a table and grabs a small egg before handing it to Gold…


Man: I know a couple who run a Day-Care service. They gave me that egg. I was intrigued, so I sent an email to Professor Elm


The man turns to the other man, who is identified as Oak…


Man: For Pokémon evolution, Professor Elm is the authority. Oak recognises that. If my assumption is correct, Professor Elm will know it


He turns back to Gold who places the egg in his backpack…


Man: Are you heading back to Professor Elm’s lab? You should have some rest?


Gold turns to Cyndaquil who shakes its head…


Gold: No thanks, we’re both in a hurry


Man: Very well, I guess you should get going


Oak clears his throat and walks towards Gold…


Oak: So you’re Gold! I’m Oak, a Pokémon researcher! I was just visiting my old friend, Mr Pokémon, when I heard you were coming so I decided to wait for you


He looks at Cyndaquil…


Oak: Oh, what’s this?


He picks up Cyndaquil and pats in while holding it in his arms…


Oak: A rare Pokémon, it seems. I think I understand why Elm gave this little Pokémon to you


He places Cyndaquil back on Gold’s shoulder…


Oak: He saw that you would treat it with love and care


Cyndaquil nods it head. Oak reaches into his pocket and grabs a red device…


Oak: You seem dependable, how would you like to help me out?


He hands the device to Gold. Gold holds the device and looks at it…


Oak: This is the latest Pokedex. It automatically records the data of all the Pokémon you see and capture. It’s basically a high tech encyclopedia


Gold opens the device and switches it on. It opens a progress bar before showing a picture of Cyndaquil alongside some text that describes Cyndaquil…


Gold: That’s so cool!


Oak: I want you to go and meet every type of Pokémon and record them in the Pokedex. Could you do that for me?


Gold: Sure thing


Oak: Thank you, Gold. Well, I’ve stayed too long. I need to get back to Goldenrod for my usual radio show. I’m counting on you, Gold


Oak exits the building. Gold shakes hands with Mr Pokémon before leaving the house. Suddenly, Gold’s backpack vibrates. Gold reaches into his backpack and grabs his PokeGear. Professor Elms name is on the screen. Gold presses the answer button before Elm quickly speaks…


Elm: H-hello? Gold, it’s a disaster. It’s just terrible. Please get back here immediately


Before Gold can speak, Elm hangs up. Gold quickly rushes back through the grass. A pidgey suddenly swoops down. Gold orders Cyndaquil to tackle the pidgey. Cyndaquil tackles the pidgey, causing it to faint…


Shortly after, a metapod appears. Gold orders Cyndaquil to attack with tackle. Cyndaquil tackles the metapod but the metapod shakes it off…


Gold: It didn’t defeat it


Metapod suddenly turns a shiny silver colour for a few seconds before returning to normal. Gold grabs the Pokedex from his pocket and opens it…


Pokedex: Metapod is capable of using the move, Harden. Harden does not do any damage but it increases the users defence stat, making it take more damage before fainting…


Gold: Damn it, this’ll be difficult. CYNDAQUIL, USE TACKLE AGAIN!


Cyndaquil tackles the metapod. The metapod responds by using Harden a second time…


Gold: NO! You’re not using that anymore. Cyndaquil, another tackle!


Cyndaquil tackles the metapod into a tree. The metapod weakly falls flat on the ground and faints. Cyndaquil jumps onto Gold’s shoulder…


Gold: Well done, buddy


The two walk into Cherrygrove…


Gold: Let’s go, New Bark isn’t too far now


As he begins to run towards New Bark Town, Gold spots the male with red hair walking towards him. The male stops in front of Gold and looks at Cyndaquil…


Male: A Cyndaquil?


Cyndaquil happily nods it head. The male turns to Gold…


Male: What a waste, giving a wimp like you a Pokémon!


Gold takes a step forward…


Gold: What was that?!


The male takes a step closer to Gold and tries to give an intimidating look…


Male: Don’t you get what I’m saying? Well, I also have a strong Pokémon. In fact, much stronger than you


Gold: You’re wrong! I’m not a wimp!


Male: Prove it! How about a short battle, and by short, I mean the fact that I will win with no effort


Gold: Alright, I’ll accept your challenge!


The male takes a few steps back before throwing a Poke-ball into the air. A Totodile emerges from the ball and lands on the ground…


Gold: Totodile


Male: I’m waiting for you to call your Pokémon, or are you too scared?


Gold: NEVER! Cyndaquil, go!


Cyndaquil jumps onto the ground in front of Gold and stares at Totodile…


Male: Totodile, scratch!


Totodile leaps forward and tries to scratch Cyndaquil, who quickly jumps to the side…


Gold: Use tackle!


Cyndaquil quickly tackles Totodile and steps back…


Male: Why are you slow?! Use another scratch!


Totodile stands up and charges towards Cyndaquil…


Gold: Smokescreen!


Cyndaquil releases a black cloud from his mouth, making it hard to see. Totodile stops and tries to find Cyndaquil…


Male: I didn’t tell you to stop! Water gun!


Totodile shoots water from his mouth. Cyndaquil jumps out of the way…


Gold: Tackle!


Cyndaquil charges and tackles Totodile. Totodile falls onto its back and closes it eyes. The male growls and returns Totodile to its Poke-ball…


Male: Are you happy you won?!


Cyndaquil jumps onto Gold’s shoulder. Gold scratches Cyndaquils chin before turning to the male…


Gold: I never meant to make you feel unhappy


Male: Shut up! You’re just a wimp who knows nothing about Pokémon!


He steps forward and stares angrily into Gold’s eyes…


Male: I’m going to be the world’s greatest Pokémon trainer, just wait and see


He pushes Gold out of the way and walks away. Gold looks down and finds a card before picking it up. It’s the male’s trainer card. The male returns and snatches the card from Gold…


Male: Give that back, it’s mine!


His eyes suddenly widen…


Male: Oh no, you saw my name. Damn it!


The male suddenly runs away. Gold quickly runs towards New Bark Town. Along the way, he notices police officers searching the area. He quickly arrives in New Bark Town and runs into the lab…


Gold: Professor Elm! Are you ok?!


Elm is talking to a police officer. He notices Gold and runs over to him…


Elm: Thank god you’re ok. We have a huge problem


The officer stands behind Elm…


Officer: Young man, Elm was recently robbed. The suspect is a young male with red hair


Gold suddenly remembers the male with the Totodile…


Gold: I saw him


Elm: You what?


Gold: I saw him, he had a Totodile


Officer: That must be the male we’re after. Young man, did you happen to get his name?


Gold remembers picking up the trainer card. There was a picture of the male with the word, Silver, underneath it…


Gold: Silver, his name was Silver


Officer: Are you sure?


Gold: I saw his trainer card, his name is Silver


Officer: Thank you, young man. Professor Elm, we will now begin our search for this male


The officer leaves the building. Elm sits in a chair and sobs…


Elm: My Pokémon, it’s gone


Gold crouches next to Elm. Elm suddenly looks at Gold’s backpack…


Elm: What’s in there?


Gold suddenly pulls out the Egg. Elm suddenly falls out of the chair before quickly standing up. He grabs the egg and places in on a desk…


Elm: A Pokémon egg? If so, this is a great discovery


He notices the Pokedex…


Elm: Is that what I think it is?


Gold hands the Pokedex to Elm…


Elm: It’s a Pokedex, where did you get it?


Gold: Professor Oak gave it to me. He wants me to find all the Pokémon and fill the Pokedex


Elm: That’s incredible! Professor Oak has always been able to see the potential in trainers. He must think you have a chance


Gold: A chance at what?


Elm: Have you heard of the Pokémon Gym challenge?


Gold shakes his head…


Elm: I see, it’s a set of 8 extremely difficult battles that are highly rewarding. If you can win all 8, you are able to challenge the Pokémon League


Gold: The Pokémon League, you mean the champion of the Indigo Plateau?


Elm: Exactly, if Oak gave you the Pokedex, he must think you have the potential


Gold: So what do I do?


Elm pats Cyndaquil on the head…


Elm: You must have a bond with this Pokémon by now, am I right?


Before Gold can respond, Cyndaquil jumps into Gold’s arms and hugs him…


Gold: He really enjoyed the trip


Elm: He didn’t just enjoy the trip. Cyndaquil has grown attached to you. I will allow you to keep him


Gold: Really?


Cyndaquil happily jumps onto Elms shoulder and hugs him. Gold picks up Cyndaquil and places him back on his shoulder…


Elm: Take Cyndaquil with you. Head to Violet City, that’s where the first gym is. Then, head to the towns after that and defeat those gyms too. I think you can do it


Gold smiles and pats Cyndaquil…


Gold: Alright, I’ll challenge the gyms and make you proud


He begins to exit the building but Elm quickly stops him…


Elm: Hold on, you need to go and see your mother first. She has to know where you’re going


Gold nods his head and runs out of the building. He runs into his own house…


Mother: Gold, darling. how was it?


She notices Cyndaquil and picks him up. She pats him on the head…


Mother: Such a cute Pokémon, is this Elms?


Gold: It’s mine


Mother: Oh, you got your own Pokémon. That’s amazing, Gold


She notices the Pokedex and grabs it…


Mother: A Pokedex? You’re going on a journey?


Gold: I ran into Professor Oak and he saw potential in me. He thinks I can become powerful


Mother: (slightly sad) Ok then, that’s good


Gold: Is something wrong?


Mother: I’m just so surprised that my boy is so grown up. He’s going on a Pokémon journey


She places Cyndaquil back on Gold’s shoulder…


Mother: I think I can help you, give me your PokeGear


Gold opens his backpack and grabs the PokeGear. He hands it to his mother…


His mother places the PokeGear on the dining table and pushes some buttons…


Mother: Here we go. You now have a bank account on your PokeGear


Gold: What for?


Mother: Battling other trainers can be very rewarding. Win a battle and a small portion of money is transferred into your account. Lose a battle, however, and a small portion of money is lost


Gold: What about the money I left home with?


Mother: Leave it here, your account already has $3000 loaded into it. It’s also got a feature activated so 20% of all money you earn will be transferred to a separate bank account, an account that only I can access. But of course, I’ll only use that money if absolutely necessary


Gold: Ok, thanks


Gold’s mother suddenly gives Gold a hug…


Mother: Come home every so often, I want to see what Pokémon you have captured


Gold: I will


His mother lets go and smiles…


Mother: Remember, Pokémon are your friends. You need to work as a team. Now go on


Gold nods his head and runs out of the house. As he runs towards Cherrygrove, his voice begins to narrate…


Gold: (voiceover) And now I’m on my way to Violet City, where I will challenge the first gym of the Johto region. After that, I’ll defeat more gyms and I’ll eventually challenge the Pokémon Champion!


Gold sees a wild pidgey. He nods at Cyndaquil who jumps onto the ground and charges at the pidgey. As he tackles the pidgey, the screen fades away and a small rectangle appears at the bottom of the screen…


It says ‘Save’ and the options are ‘YES’ or ‘NO’ It also says:

Gold

Pokedex-5

Gym Badges-0

Time-2:14


A small arrow is next to the Yes option. The arrow fades, showing that the Yes option was chosen. The screen fades to black…


THE END


Episode 2 Synopsis:

Gold arrives in Violet City, where he learns that the Gym Leader is busy. To buy time, Gold challenges the sages at the Sprout Tower and confronts Silver. Not long after, Gold challenges the Gym Leader in an intense battle for Gold’s first Gym Badge…

Author's Note

BrayThaKid
This is mainly written because I thought Origins Red and Blue was amazing but was disappointed when I heard that a Gold and Silver one would probably never happen. Although this is Gold and Silver, it also has things from Heart gold and Soul silver. I've made the dialogue and story as similar to the games as possible so I hope whoever reads this enjoys it
