Ch 1: Our Adventure Begins!

Hi everyone my name is Steve Craft and I wanna become a Pokemon master just like my uncle Rodger. And your in luck because you get to come with me on my journey. Today is my 10th birthday and I am on my way to get my Pokemon License from our towns Poke Professor. I am so ready to go but my mom is well... I mean everyone child has to leave home eventually and I am ready!

"Steve your just not ready." A frantic voice says exhausted to the point of tears. "You're father has been gone long enough and Rodger isn't exactly role model material." She seems disturbed that Steve chose his 10th birthday to leave home, so young. But then again all trainers leaves on their adventures at a young age. 

"Mom everything is going to be fine, I'll call you every week." I tried comforting my mom. It wouldn't help I know, she sets her mind to defense mode every time I mention leaving. But I still try, maybe one day I'll be able to get though to her. Needless to say that's not today. 

"Steve honey you know the average age of a Pokemon trainer is?" She asks me. Of coarse I know this is one of the many question she brings up when we get in these debates.

"I don't know" I said "16?" Yeah, I know but you can start at 10 if you want which I do.

"That's right 16. So how about you wait a few more years?" Her persistence is strong but my desire to go on this adventure is stronger.

"Mom, this is wanted all my life, you know that. I have been a member of my schools fan club for 4 years. I dedicated so much already to making sure this happens. Please mom you gotta let it happen." I sit there waiting for another question. Something along the lines of 'There are Pokemon gangs out there. you wanna join a gang?' or 'What if your so far away something happens and I can't reach you?' Man the struggle with over protective mother's is far to real.

I looked up at her waiting for something but she stop, hand placed firm over a freshly brewed cup of coffee. Her eye's still flowing with tears she looked down to lose my eye contact. "I will always support you." She said "I love you son and always will. You have your father's heart. And certainly your mothers stubbornness." A faint laugh makes its way out of her mouth. She's shaking, I knew she wouldn't take today well but shes doing better than I believed. I half expected clocks to be thrown and windows broken in a saddened rage. Maybe after all those years of arguing she realizes this is my dream.

My mom you see used to be a trainer as well along time ago. But that certainly was a long long time ago. Since then my mom has been scared of all thing Pokemon. She won't tell me why and neither will uncle Rodger who is her brother. But I think he know's because every time I ask he gets edgy and changes the subject fast. Maybe things will change now, maybe.

"But you bring one of those thing's in my house I will kick it to the curb" She said suddenly. Or maybe not change then. I sighed then say her pick her gaze back up. "Well lets go, if your gonna do this I am going to make sure you get a good start. Other trainers will be looking to get their first Pokemon today." The thought of her letting me go never crossed my mind so I never thought about my first Pokemon to be able to pick one so soon. "Go get in the car. I need to grab a few things."

I ran, faster than a Pidgey could fly out to the car and hoped in. It's really happening, its really happening! I saw my mother making her way to the car carrying a well of sized backpack. She opened the door and handed it to me.

"Here you go" She said "Everything every young trainer needs, including extra undies." Blush fluttered over my face. Was she ready for me to leave this whole time? I never knew I would feel this much support from her. I leaned in and wrapped her in a hug.

"Thank's mom. I love you" I said. She held me there for a brief moment in silence. Then she started the car and we were off to new adventures. 

The Pokemon Professor's name was William Sap but everyone just calls him Professor Sap. His house is just 20 minuets away from Staru Port and the ocean. It's a bit of a haul for me and my mom who live in Metronome City but we make it there with good time. My mom stop's about 100 yards from the front gate, it's to my understanding that she rather not go inside.

"I'm am going with you Uncle on a cruse in a few days so I am gonna stay with him and your aunt and their house in Staru." Did she plan this? "You should stop by and see us off. Your uncle, aunt, and cousins will be so happy to see you." Yea she had to have planed this.

I smile "Okay mom I will see you in a few days then. Love you." I kiss her on the cheek.

"I love you to son. Now take care, and call me if you need me." The gates start opening. "Now go, Prof. Sap is probably waiting." I get out off the car and look up to the Professors house. It's quaint and modern in some ways yet old and wholesome in others. A fence surround's it and you can look in every direction and see various Pokemon in the distance. 

I begin walking my way the the stairs when I tripped and fell on something. I look down to see what the cause was and there sat a Geodude. I must have tripped on him because he blinded in so well with the stairway. I got back up and looked at the Pokemon. "I am sorry" I said "I didn't see you there" surely it wasn't hurt, I read somewhere that Geodude's are tough Pokemon and it would take more than me falling over on one to hurt it.

But something seemed off, the Geodude seemed for some reason angry with me. I mean I didn't mean to fall over it and surly it is not hurt. He jumped up and down and picked a moderately large rock and threw it at my head. All I saw was this incoming rock at my head and inches before it hit me it turned to tiny little pebbles. All I saw was the shadow of something right before the pebble impact. 

After the shock and awe passed I looked down and saw a new Pokemon has join in on the conflict between me and Geodude. I recognize this Pokemon from a old photo album that belongs to my dad. It was the same Pokemon that my dad stared his adventure's with. It was a Treeko. So this was the shadow that saved me from a surefire bloody nose. The Treeko looked up at me seeming concerned.

"Th-Thanks Treeko." I manage to say.

"Treee" The Treeko nodded his head and faced the Geodude. "Treeeeko treee tree ko" The Pokemon began have a discussion between themselves. 

"Geo geo dude dude" The Geodude even sounded hostel, well as hostel as they can sound. I get lost in the conversion between the Pokemon and didn't even notice someone else has joined my side.

"Sorry about that Geodude's can get pretty territorial" The voice really did shock me, so much so that I jumped as he started speaking. "I will see to it this little guy get's back o his proper home." I turn toward the voice and there stood the Pokemon Professor. He was older, I'd say in his 50's and had long flowing white hair that went down to his shoulders. He was wearing a sweat covered shirt and had a musty look about him. It looked as if he has been rolling around in the mud for hours. 

"You're Professor Sap right?" I said catching my breath from his surprise appearance.

"That's right and you must be Steve right?" He said. His voice was rough and hazy as if he was a long time smoker.

"Yes. Ho-how did you know who I was?" The question was really sincere, how did he know me? I never got to meet him before.

"Ah" He said "Your mother called me. Now come this way." We began walking toward the large house.

"My mom? How do you know my mom?" He is making more questions than he is giving answers.

"I know all your family Steve. Your mother, Father, Uncle. Who did you think gave them their first Pokemon?" All this time i never knew, nor even thought to ask.

"You gave my parent's their Pokemon?" i asked.

"Yes I did. Your father was the first one of the three. He picked a Treeko much like our friend here." I looked down to see the Treeko was still with me and the professor following us inside. "Then you're mom came in a year later and got a Eevee." Eevee huh? She never told me that. I never even remember hearing about any of her old Pokemon friend's. "And lastly you're uncle came in and got a Charmander." I knew that my uncle had a Charazard but I never though it came from Prof. Sap.

We make our way to the door where he opens it and lets us in. The room opened up to a study area filled with book cases. It wasn't the cleanest place I ever saw but compared to my room back at home I shouldn't judge. The professor lead me over to a machine holding a lot of pokeballs.

"So Steve have you decided what Pokemon you want to start your adventure with?" He looks at me and I look back confused and unsure. He smiled and said "There are 10 okeballs here holding 10 different Pokemon. We have Eevee, Bulbasaur, Charmander, Squirtle, Chikorita, Cyndaquil, Totodile, Mudkip, Turtwig, and Piplup." His hand followed each ball as he presented what Pokemon was inside each one. 

It was all so overwhelming, how was I going to pick? My eye's wondered the room trying to think. I was stuck in awe mutter "umm" over and over. My eyes the caught something in the corner of the room over by the door. Treeko stood there in the doorway watching the professor and I. The gears began turning in my head "What about him" I asked gesturing over Treeko. The Pokemon then looked up to see me pointing at him. 

The professor followed my finger to see Treeko in the doorway "Oh yes, I am sorry my friend. I didn't mean to forget you. Yes Treeko is also looking for a caring trainer as well." He sounded as happy as I felt.

I walked over to the little Pokemon and patted it's head "How about it little guy? Would you like to go on a adventure with me?"

It smiled and jumped up around me holding onto me with it's little hand's. "Trreeekoo Tree"

The professor stood there laughing "I think you can take that as a yes. Haha. A Treeko, following in the footstep's of your old man then?"

I smiled. "Yes, I guess" Treeko looked into my eyes smiling. I think I made the right choice.

"One little thing though" The professor stated "Treeko doesn't like to be confined in his pokeball. That's why you see him out now, why he was out when you first met." 

"That's fine" I said. "Wouldn't want to put you in a situation you didn't want to be in" I said to Treeko. He smiled and hugged me again "Were gonna be best friends Treeko."

"Treeeekoo!" said the Pokemon.

"And with all that I will also give you this, it's called a Pokedex. It will record data when you find new Pokemon and should be useful on your journey." He handed my a small red devise which I slipped into my pockets. 

"Thanks Professor" I stood up as Treeko joined me at my side. The professor then gave me his number in case of emergency and with that me and Treeko were out the door. As we were passing the gate I looked down at Treeko and said "So I was thinking we can head toward Staru Port and you can meet my family how does that sound?"

"Treekko treeee." He said smiling up at me. I took that as another yes.

"This is gonna be great Treeko, our very own Pokemon adventure." I said as me and my new best friend walked toward a new day.
