Intro My name is Jimmy Rose (I'm a girl) and I lived in Steam Island. My mom and Dad are both Poke’mon professors. They didn't want me to go on a Poke’mon quest and made up some lame excuses for me not to. But nothing was going to stop me that time. That year I ran away. I didn't need to worry about getting a starter Poke’mon. I knew my mom and dad had a mysterious Poke’mon that was abandoned a few days before. I never got to see it because, when it was brought to the lab, it was still in it's Poke’ ball. Here's my story: Chapter 1 The Start Of My Adventure It was about three in the morning when I when I woke up. I decided to get dressed now. I put on my red shirt, my black mini skirt, my belt, my red and black sneakers with my striped red and black socks, and last but not least, my favorite black Green Day sweater with the heart grenade on it ( Green Day is my favorite band). I turned on my mini lamp (so I won't make too much light) on my desk beside my mirror. I put on some eye liner. I looked in the body mirror hanging on my wall." Maybe my mom is right..." I thought," Maybe I do wear too much red and black..." I sat down at my desk, pulled out some paper and began writing a letter to my mom and dad. It went like this: Dear Mom and Dad, By the time you find this I'll be long gone! I decided to run away so I can become a trainer. My friends and I are all in this together. I'm tired of you guys treating me like a baby. I'll call once in a while to let you know how I'm doing but I won't tell you my location, in case you try to go after me. I want to let you know I love you guys...and I'll come home............whenever............... I also took the abandoned Poke'mon. From Jimmy P.S. I needed money...sorry... I reread it... kind of lame and out there but it would do. I folded it up and put it in an envelope. I put the envelope on my bed. I grabbed my Green Day messenger bag. I had packed the night before. I included my essentials: some eyeliner, some red and black eye shadow, my iPod (with a zillion Green Day, Good Charlotte, Simple Plan and Fall Out Boy songs on it) my iPod charger, the iPod speaker, my wallet with $3,000 that I "borrowed" from my mom and dad's accounts, and my punked out security teddy bear (rightfully named Cuddely). I pulled it out and gave it a quick hug and stuffed it back into my bag. I was set. I sneaked out my window and set off for the lab. I had an extra key so I wouldn't have to worry about security. When I got there, and was safely inside, I went looking for the abandoned Poke’mon's Poke' ball. Finally, after about 5 minuets of looking, I found it! I picked it up, there was a strange heat radiating off of it, it surprised me and I dropped the ball. Once the Poke' ball hit the ground, it broke, but out of it came a oddly colored Growlithe. It didn't do anything except glare at me. " Uh... Hi there..." I said weakly, baffled by it's color. It's stripes, mane, tail, and underbelly was red instead of black and it's fur was black instead of orange. " My name is Jimmy. And I want to be a Poke'mon trainer but I can't do it with out a starter Poke'mon. So I was thinking that maybe you would want to be my Poke'mon....would that be okay? I mean, I won't abandon you. I love Poke'mon. My mom and dad are Poke'mon Professors so I know my stuff. And I promise to take care of you and love you and all that junk... so what do you say?" I knew I sounded pretty stupid but Growlithe's glare was really intimidating. It inspected me from head to toe. It cocked it's head and seemed satisfied. It jumped onto my shoulder, where it stayed. "I'll take that as a yes....awesome!" Growlithe seemed happy too and gave me a lick on the cheek."Growre." It said. And I wondered what the heck that meant. I was about to head for the door when I remembered I had to get a Poke'dex and some Poke'balls. "Crap!" I said out loud. I had no idea where they were. " Hey, Growlithe?" I said. "Grow?" It asked. " Do you think you can sniff out where the Poke'dexs are?" It jumped off my shoulder and began sniffing. After some seconds it took off running. "Good Job!" I said and followed. It led me to a closed door. I opened it and looked in. In the room there were thousands of Poke'dexes. It was kind of like a library, they were set in columns. There was some in blue, red(the original color), yellow, and black. I headed straight toward the black ones. When I turned the corner I saw a desk with a package on it. I went to check it out. I ripped off the wrappings. It was a customized Poke'dex and 5 band Poke'balls. The first two band Poke'balls were Green Day the others were Good Charlotte, Simple Plan, and Fall Out Boy. But the 6th was stripped red and black. The Poke'dex was red and black checkered. " Holy crap!" I gasped. I checked the label, where the addresses were. It said: To: Professor Rose Steam Island Rose Laboratory From: Trainer's Hot Topic Maroon City East Court Mall The Trainer's Hot Topic was sort of like a regular Hot Topic. Except it sold cool trainer's stuff. Such as custom Poke'dexs and Poke'balls. They came in many punked out designs. They also sold these cool band Poke'balls. All the stuff they sell you can buy for cheap, but are very reliable. Anyway I wondered why my mom or dad ordered this. I searched through the wrappings and found a letter. It was like this: Dear Professor/ Mrs. Rose We hope your daughter enjoys this custom Poke'dex and the band Poke'balls. Since you paid for it already, we took the liberty of programming the Poke'dex for you. All you have to do is put the region, your daughter's name, your identity, and your daughter's picture in it. Sincerely, Maroon City's Trainer's Hot Topic " Dammit! My mom was planning to let me go this year after all!" I thought." But I already got this far so why quit now?" Growlithe was sitting faithfully by my leg. I thought for a sec. "Okay Growlithe, I found you a new Poke’ ball!" I picked up the first Green Day one. "Do you want to go in?" It looked up at me and nodded. I held the Poke’ ball out and, in a flash of light it went inside the Poke’ ball. I looked at my watch. 3:25. I was supposed to meet my friends at the docks in 5 minuets!!! I put Growlithe's Poke’ ball and put the others onto my belt and stuffed my Poke'dex into my pocket. "I'll have to put in my identity later." I thought as I ran down the halls and out the door. I ran as fast as I could to the docks. I had to watch out for Officer Jenny though. I got into trouble with her before and now she doesn't trust me. When I got there Kyle and Monique were already there. "You're late." said Kyle. Kyle's full name is Kyle Violet he's pretty tall for a 13 year old. His hair is so purple it's almost black, and he has brown eyes. He's normally quiet but if you piss him off he'll really cuss you out. He always wears purple and black (His favorite colors) and his Good Charlotte sweater. He got his first Poke'mon a day ago, a Squirtle, that he named after his hero, Joel Madden from Good Charlotte (Joel Madden has a Wartortle, the evolved form of Squritle. And his brother Benji has a Exicute ). "Yeah where were you?" Monique asked. Monique's full name is Monique White. She's averaged sized and has black hair that turns white at the tips and creamy white eyes (She's not blind, mind you). She not afraid to speak her mind, she's not much of a threat once you get to know her. Piss her off and she'll get you back somehow, someday, in the most horrid way. She wears her favorite colors too (Black and white). She's the only one who caught her first Poke'mon, a Chikorita, who she named after her celebrity crush, Billie Joe, from Green Day. Which is unfair if you ask me...I'M SUPPOSED TO BE THE GREEN DAY FREAK!!! " I was at the lab. Getting a Poke'dex and some Poke'balls." I explained. Monique and Kyle both got a Poke'dex already, Kyle's was purple and Monique's was white(obviously). They also bought some Poke'balls at the Poke' Mart, Kyle’s were purple and Monique's were all white. "I got my first Poke'mon while I was there." I continued. "It was that mystery Poke'mon." I bragged "It's a special Growlithe. You see, it's red and black instead of orange and black." I felt pretty cocky because I had a rare Poke'mon by my side. "That's real cool Jimmy." said Kyle. Did I sense a hint of jealousy? Or maybe I was just imagining it... "You guys!" said Monique impatiently " We need to get to the fairy before it leaves or we'll never get to Post Town!" "Okay let's go!" I said, happy to finally leave. After a couple minuets we reached the ticket booth. That was the great thing about our island, it had an all night fairy service. "Three tickets to Post Town please!" Kyle said. The guy behind the glass asked "Aren't you kids too young to be going out on your own?" "We're trainers. We found out there's no gym here and decided to leave A.S.A.P" I half lied. "There's no gym in Post Town either. So what's the point in leaving so early." The guy said. What the hell was his problem? "We don't care! It's not our problem if you have a lame all night job! Just give us our tickets!" Monique yelled. She was pretty easy to piss off. "Well you don't have to be so obnoxious!" The guy behind the glass said grumpily. He pushed a button and printed three tickets. "Here !!!" He shoved them through the window. "That'll be $6.00 !" We paid the guy and went to where the boat was docked. We got on and went to a cabin. There was 3 beds, a T.V., and a list of numbers for room service. It would take about five hours to get Post Town by boat." Guys, let's let out our Poke'mon so they can stretch." Kyle suggested. "Okay!" I was eager to show off Growlithe. I also wanted to ask it if it wanted a nick name. I already had one picked out. We all gave our Poke'balls a toss and out they came. Joel, Billie Joe and Growlithe all seemed happy to meet each other. "I'm so lucky!" I thought " I have a Growlithe in my favorite colors and it looks really strong!" I began imagining fighting side by side with it. WE WOULD WIN AGAINST ANYONE WHO CHALLANGED US!!! Monique brought me back to earth. " That's a really cool color Jimmy. I wonder why it was abandoned." She wondered. " Does it matter? That stupid trainer is yesterday's news! It's mine now and I'm never going to let it go! Right Kakashi?!" Growlithe cocked it's head in confusion. I kneeled down." By the way, do you mind if I call you Kakashi?" I asked. It shook it's head and jumped up to lick my face. "What kind of attacks can it use?" Kyle asked "It's might be able to use special attacks since it's different colored." "Deferent’s good." I said. Kakashi looked a little hurt by that comment but it sucked it up and looked happy after I said that. "That reminds me..." I took out my Poke'dex and opened it. " Hello. My name is Dexter. I'll be your Poke'dex from now on. I cannot be replaced if lost. Before I can give any information about Poke'mon, I need the name of the Professor’s name, the region and trainer identity " It said. I found the speaker, on the side, and spoke into it. " Professor Rose. Jewel region." I was used to programming these things and already knew what to do. " Trainer Profile required" It said. " Uh... Jimmy Rose, 13 years old , Female. 5'4 in height, 110 in weight, red eyes and black hair with red highlights." " Picture required." " Oh... I don't have a picture..." " I have one!" Kyle waved it in my face. " Thanks." I took it and stuck it in the picture slot. "Thank you." It began to analyze the info. A beep dinged and it said " Jimmy Rose, Female Jewel trainer, 13 years of age, 5 feet and 4 inches, 110 pounds, red eyes, black hair and red highlights." My picture appeared on the screen. "Programmed and ready to serve duty." It said. "Okay" I pointed Dex (my nickname for Dexter) at Kakashi and said "Dex, can you tell me about this Growlithe?" I know it sounds a bit stupid, talking to Dex I mean, but my dad invented this Dex model where you ask it what you want to know and it'll answer your question. It also has a phone, camera, and built-in map, attached to it. In the Jewel region, trainers don't need to worry about getting a lot of Poke’ info (that's short for Poke'mon information), unless the professors send out a message that they need help getting info on certain Poke'mon. Some times they'll ask trainers to keep a sharp eye out for mysterious Poke'mon and when you see, you take a picture (that's what the built in camera's for) and send it to the professors. And if you catch a strange Poke'mon, that the Dex can't analyze, just send the Poke'mon to the professors, they'll study it, and give you information on how to raise it. There's also a slot on the side where you put in info on paper or pictures in. Then the Dex sucks it in and analyzes the data. Then it saves all the data onto a file that you can access. Once it gets all it needs to it spits the paper back out. And the map and phone are just convenient tools you can use to contact people and find your location or where you need to go. It can also give you a shorter route on how to get to your destination quicker and info on the town. So basically Dex is a phone, a map, a Poke' Navigater, a sort of fax machine, and a Dex, all in one! Pretty neat huh? Anyway I asked Dex for info on Kakashi. It beeped on and said " Growlithe: This is a different colored Growlithe. More commonly known as a "Shiny Poke'mon". "Shiny Poke'mon" are very, very rare. This special Growlithe can use various attacks. Such as "Ultimate Thunder". "Ultimate Thunder" is a special move that only a shiny Growlithe can learn. The attacks a shiny Growlithe knows are: Flare, Ember, Flamethrower, Flame Wheel, Blaze Blast, Blast Blaze, Sacred Fire, Tackle, Take Down, Headbutt, Double Team, Tail Whip, Growl, Thunderwave, Thundershock, Thunderbolt, Thunder, Shock Wave, and Ultimate Thunder. I was almost amazed that Dex wasn't put of breath after that mouthful. "Well that's interesting..." Kyle said. "Hmmm....." Monique looked like she was deep in thought. "Hey, Jimmy let's have a battle. Better yet, I challenge you! Ha! Now you can't turn down my offer.!" I was a little caught off guard but..." Yeah, I'll take you on! Me and Kakashi need practice anyway! Ha-ha! We're gonna kick your ass! Right Kakashi?!" Kakashi barked in agreement. " That's a great idea!" said Kyle " And I'll battle the winner!" " Let's go on deck right now!" I said. I was pumped up and ready to go. I put Kakashi back in his Poke’ ball and ran upstairs. Monique and Kyle took some time before they came up. So that gave me some time to try and figure out a stratagy. "Let's see.." I thought. "Monique has Chikorita, a grass Poke'mon so I don't need to worry about her. And Kyle has Squirtle, a water Poke'mon. I could use some electric attacks. That would a huge effect on it. But it's Kakashi I'm worried about. Joel also has a huge advantage on Kakashi...." While I was lost in thought Monique and Kyle had arrived." Are you ready Jimmy?" Monique asked. " Ready as I'll ever be!" "Then let's get started." There was a battle arena for trainers who wanted to battle on the boat. Monique and I took our places. Kyle would be reefing the match." The battle between Jimmy and Monique is about to begin. This is a one on one Poke'mon match. The will be no time limit. First on to K.O. the opponent is the winner. Trainers are you ready?" Kyle asked. "Whenever you are." Monique said looking at me. "Me too." I said looking straight at her too. "Then let the battle begin!" Kyle waved his arms to signal us to go. " Let's rock and roll. Come on out Billie Joe!" Monique threw a Poke’ ball up in the air and a Chikorita came out. " Show them what you're made of Kakashi!" I too thaw my Poke’ ball out onto the field." Alright Kakashi, just wait there and let them attack first." Kakashi obeyed. " Billie Joe, knock ' em out with Headbut!" Monique's Chikorita came at us. I waited until the exact moment. By now Billie was feet away from Kakashi. Then it was inches away. " Kakashi! Attack now!!! Use Flamethrower!" " Billie!" Monique had just caught on." Stop!" But it was too late. Kakashi already let out a scorching hot Flamethrower. Billie got hit right in the kisser! Then Billie fell over from the pain. "Billie try to get up!" Monique cried. " It's not going to get up after that attack!" I thought. But to my surprise. It did." That's okay! Kakashi use Blaze Blast!" " Billy use Vine Whip to clamp Kakashi's mouth shut and stop the attack!" Green vines shot out of Billie and shut Kakashi's mouth. Exactly what I was hoping for. "Kakashi paralyze it with Thunderwave!" Kakashi let out an electric shock ,paralyzing Billie."Good. Now jump into the air and use Blast Blaze!" Kakashi did as he was told and shot blue flames from it's mouth. Billie struggled to get away but he couldn't and he was doused with flames. Finally Billie fell over and couldn't get up. "Good..." I said. "Billie get up!" Monique shouted. There was a hint of panic in her voice. But Billie didn't move. From that moment I knew I had won my first Poke'mon battle. "And the battle goes to Jimmy!" Kyle shouted. "Oh yeah!" I ran over to Kakashi." You were so freaking awesome Kakashi!" Kakashi jumped all over and licked me on the face. " Billie return." Monique held out Billie's Poke’ ball. She looked somewhat resentful. And Billie returned to his Poke’ ball. " That was an awesome battle. I'm glad I got the chance." " Me too." I said joyfully. " Good job Jimmy." Kyle congratulated. " Thanks." " Are you ready to take me on now?" " I guess so." But then I looked down at Kakashi. It looked exaughsted." Actually, Kyle, I'm not sure I should. Kakashi looks really tired. We should wait until later." Kakashi looked very grateful. " Oh...okay." He yawned. " Maybe we should all get some rest." " I'll stay out here. I'm not tired." Monique said " Okay. See ya." Kyle and I walked back to our room. I kept Kakashi out so it could get a comfortable rest. I lied down, with Kakashi laying beside me. Then Kyle lied down too. After a while, I made sure everyone was sound asleep. I got up, went to my bag, and pulled out Cuddely. I gave it a hug. And went to sleep.
