Pokemon Adventure.
There are few sounds at four o’ clock in the morning few, but yet there are
some. One of these sounds was eleven year old Derek Oak. Like most kids his
age Derek was going on his pokemon journey the following day. The reason
Derek was eleven and hadn’t been on his journey already was the pokemon
league had said that you had to be eleven to leave to leave on your journey
due to trainers lack of experience.
“Well I guess I had better shower and get dressed so I can get to grandpa’s
lab and leave before all the other trainers get their and it’s a crowded
mess.” After I showered and got dressed I wrote a note to my mom and told
her I would call her when I got to Viridian City and then I left. When I got
to the lab I parked my bike and knocked on the door. Gramps opened the door,
“Hello Derek, I guess you came to get your pokemon?”“Yes, what do you
have?”“Oh just the usual Squirtle, Bulbasaur, Charmander, Pikachu, and
Eevee.”“Ok, I think that I want Eevee.”I said. “OK, here is your pokedex and
six pokeballs”he said handing me the items. After that I got on my bike and
pedaled towards Viridian city. After awhile I stopped to take a break when I
heard a noise a turned around, it was a Pidgey, Eevee go!” I yelled My eevee
came out of its pokeball and tackled the pidgey. “That was way to easy,
pokeball go!” I threw the ball and in seconds had my first pokemon! When I
got to Viridian City the first thing I did was go to the pokemon center.
When I opened the door a girl with black hair ran strait into me. “Oh, I am
so sorry, by the way my name is Mariel I really need to get to the trainer
house, bye!” And with that she was gone. While my pokemon were being healed
I asked Nurse Joy what a Trainer house was. “Oh that, well the first one was
put here because so many trainers go to the elite four from here and they
get bored with only rookie trainers passing through. It was a great success,
pretty soon the pokemon league wanted one put in every town and when you go
your pokedex is read at and they match you with trainers your own skill
level. If you win the championship in your group by getting better overall
wins than anyone else you are given a pokemon of the type that the city
specializes in. Also each house has a leader called a house leader like a
gym leader they fight you and if you win you get a house badge, if you
collect a lot of them from different leagues you can get free cruises, items
and special pokemon. So if you get the championship you are first to  
compete with the gym leader the following day.” she explained, “If you want
I can give you a map that shows all the cities and leagues that have houses,
what their badge is and also shows where houses are currently being put in.”
“Thanks a lot Nurse Joy.” I said and took the map, asked for directions and
left. About 15 minutes later I arrived at a building with the Kanto league
symbol above the door. I walked in and was greeted by a girl. “Hello,
welcome to the Viridian city trainer house, may I see your pokedex please?”
When she got back she handed me my pokedex back and explained the rules.
“Congradulations, you have been selected. The rules are the same as regular
trainer battles with the exception of fighting the house leader for a badge.
You will fight ten other trainers with the same skill level as you, the five
with the most overall wins will proceed to the finals. At the finals you
will fight the other four trainers that have won the most and the two with
the highest overall wins will proceed to the championship arena and the
winner will receive a ground pokemon from the city gym leader and can
compete first in the morning against the House leader. Any questions?” I
told her no and she led me to a room with a battlefield. “Your first
opponent will be Charles, ready? Fight!” I stepped into the trainer box and
waited for the person over the loud speaker to announce. “Welcome, ladies
and gentlemen to class one of today’s trainer battles.” the voice boomed,
“On the count of three both of the contestants will release their pokemon on
the count of three, one, two, three!” “Go pidgey!” I cried. “Go spearow!”
the kid yelled. I thought I had better see what it’s stats and attacks were.
I flipped open my pokedex and pointed it at the spearow. “Spearow, the tiny
bird pokemon, it eats bugs in grassy areas. Spearow has to flap its short
wings at high speed to stay airborne. Attacks are: Peck, Growl, Leer and
Fury attack.” I thought quickly “Pidgey gust attack.” The blast of wind hit
the spearow and it was sent crashing into the wall. “Get up spearow, Fury
attack!” Suddenly the eyes of the bird turned red and it attacked pidgey
with a berserk rage. I quickly told pidgey to quick attack and that weakened
the spearow enough to finish it off with a tackle. Later on when I only had
to fight one more person I was surprised to see the girl that had ran into
me come out. “Hello, I am sorry about what happened in the pokemon center.”
she said again, “Oh my gosh, you’re Derek Oak!” I sighed, most people didn’t
recognize me but when they did it was always “Oh look, it’s the little
brother of the Viridian Gym leader” or “Wow the grandson of Professor Oak”
and “Have you started your journey yet?” I have to admit I like the
attention sometimes but it’s kind of hard living up to Gary, gramps, my
sister and mom, my dead dad the famous pokemon breeder and Aunt Lora , my
other grandpa the dragon master and my cousins Lance and Clair the dragon
trainers and Master. The hardest part is since I have a cousin and a brother
that are gym leaders, a two world famous grandpas, a father and Aunt who
were and still are some of the greatest pokemon breeders, a sister and a
mother who are famous pokemon groomers, and another cousin who is the leader
of the elite four and past master, people expect me to do all of this and
more. I thought I was done with people bugging me because I was leaving on
my journey but a few people still recognized me and wanted autographed
pokeballs and shirts. Meeting up to everybody’s standards was hard. So far
the only thing I had to prove I was any of this was an Eevee, the last
pokemon my dad and Aunt Lora had bred together. Gramps had saved it until I
was old enough to go on my journey. Another thing was my Aunt Lora had
recently married the Pewter city gym leader Brock, even though this was cool
I thought “Oh boy another expectation to meet up to.” So when Mariel said
that I knew then if  I didn’t win the tournament bad things were coming my
way. “Nidoran go!” she yelled. “Go eevee!” I said. As soon as sent out eevee
she commanded Nidoran(female) to attack. I quickly told eevee to dodge the
attack and bite. When she ordered her to use poison sting eevee dodged and
took her out with a quick attack. After that we both went to the finals and
at last we fought each other for championship which I won. I walked up to
the judges stand and got my prize which was a Sandshrew and a TM/HM maker.
As I exited from the building Mariel ran up to me. “Um, that was a great
battle” she said. I agreed with her. “Ya, well I was just wondering if I
could....” “You could what?” I asked. “I was wondering if I could.....Come
with you on your journey!” she blurted and then started blushing. “Sure, I
guess but you’ll probably have to spend the night in the pokemon center
because I am going to sleep in my brother’s gym.” “That’s all right, but
could I go with you to the gym just to meet your brother?” “I guess.” I
said, “but you have to leave.” Mariel agreed and we rode our bikes to the
gym. When we approached I knocked on the door and was greeted by Jobe, my
brothers only trainer. “High Jobe.” I said. He said hi and asked me who
Mariel was. I told him all about what happened then we went to see Gary. We
passed to statues of Arcanine and I knocked on his door. “Well hello, it’s a
pleasant surprise to see my baby brother come knocking at my door all fresh
on his journey and with a girlfriend.” he teased. I responded by punching
him in the shoulder and blushing. “Well don’t just stand there, come in.
Tell me all the news since I last visited .” he inquired. We went into his
house that was in the back of his gym. I told him everything that had
happened since he had last visited while we drank pop and relaxed in his
air- conditioned living room. As dusk was nearing I told Mariel that she had
to leave but the big hero Gary invited her to stay the rest of the night in
the other spare bedroom.  Mariel went to bed at nine but me and Gary stayed
up much later talking about are pokemon and catching up. Finally at twelve
Gary said we should get to bed as he had scheduled some battles before he
ten the following day.
The next morning I awoke to the sound of bacon sizzling in the kitchen. I
got dressed and found Gary instructing his Jynx to cook breakfast. He turned
around and saw me snickering at his coaching. “Well since your so happy this
morning go wake up your friend for breakfast. I walked into the spare room
and shook her awake. “Wake up, if you want to travel with me you gotta get
early.” I said. “Mmph” she said, “go away.” “ Hurry , breakfast is ready” I
replied. I left the room and while we were waiting for to get dressed I
called mom. “Hi mom, I’m at Gary’s house. Ya, I have to new pokemon. I’ll
see ya later. Wait. Gary says hi, ya mom bye.”As I hung up the receiver
Mariel walked in the door and we ate. When we both said goodbye and Mariel
started up the trail Gary held me back, I told my companion to go ahead.
“Well goodbye squirt” he said. “Before you go I want to give you something,”
he reached in his pocket and handed me two pokeballs. “One is a Growlithe,
and the other is a Igglybuff for your friend.” he explained. I rode down the
trail and caught up to Mariel. When I handed her the pokeball she told she
had to tell Gary thanks for the gift when we reached Pewter city.
