Chapter 1 Kairi had just turned 10 that morning. She was so excited. Today was going to be the day when she got her first pokemon, from Professor Oak. She couldn't wait. Kairi made up her bed, put on her favorite outfit, brushed her teeth and went downstairs to eat breakfast. Kairi: "Good morning mom." Mom: "Good morning, Kairi dear." Kairi sit down to eat a bowl of Cereal. Mom: "Kairi, I got you something at the Mart today for your journey." Kairi: "Really? What is it?" Mom: "It's a Pokegear. It has everything in it that you'll need on your journey. It has maps, of Kanto, Johto, Hoenn and Shinnoh. Plus it also displays the time for you, and it has a telephone as well. The best part is it, stores all your items and money in it." Kairi: "Gee, thanks Mom." Takes the pokegear, and straps it onto her arm. "This'll be a big help." Mom: "You better get going to Pallet Town or you'll be late getting your first pokemon." Kairi: "Ok, bye mom." Kisses her mom on the cheek and goes outback and gets her bicycle and rides to the harbor to take a ship to Kanto. Kairi pays for her ticket and gets on board the ship. She parked her bike in her room, and stood on the ship looking out over the water,'I can hardly wait till I get to Kanto.' She thought, grinning. As soon as she made it to the harbor, she rode her bicycle into Pallet Town. She walked up to the professor's door and knocked. He answered it. Kairi: "Hi. I'm here for my first pokemon." Prof. Oak: "Ah, you must be Kairi. Come in, come in." The Professor led Kairi into the lab. He showed her all the starter choices. It was a hard choice but Kairi decided to go with the Pichu. She decided to let Pichu walk outside its ball with her, well ride in her bike basket anyway. The professor, gave her six pokeballs, and a pokedex, and sent her on her way. Kairi put Pichu in the bike basket, and checked her map. Kairi: "Ok, Viridian City's that way." She got on her bike and peddled down Route 1. This is just the beginning her adventures with Pichu. Kairi hopes to make great friends and pokemon, and become a top coordinator like her mother. That all lies in the future for now. Meanwhile, another person was going for his first pokemon as well. It was a boy named Sora. "I can't wait!" He jumped for joy, very excited,"Then I'm on my way to becomming a Pokemon Master!" (Kinda sounds like Ash huh?) When Sora got to the lab the only Pokemon the Prof. had left was a little Pikachu. "I'm sorry Sora, but all the other pokemon were already taken by other trainers," the Prof. told him. "Awww, that's ok Prof. I couldn't ask for anything better then this Pokemon. I love it!" Sora said picking up Pikachu and hugging it. "Be careful, Sora." The Prof. warned him,"Why?" Sora asked. He then have to wait for an answer, Pikachu shocked him. Sora screamed and fell over anime style. "Oh, I see," Sora said blowing a puff of smoke from his mouth. "Here, Sora your pokedex and 6 pokeballs." The Prof. handed them to Sora. But, oh no! He forgot about Pikachu, he was still hugging it too tightly. Pikachu didn't like this too much and decided to make his point clear. He shocked Sora again. Once again, Sora was on the floor. Pikachu giggled at him. Sora put Pikachu down,"Wow! Your strong for a little guy aren't you," Sora told Pikachu. "Pika," Pikachu said nodding his head yes. "How would you like to go on a Pokemon journey with me and be my first Pokemon. I'm Sora, nice to meet you Pikachu." Sora said reaching to shake Pikachu's hand...er...paw. "Pi," Pikachu said agreeing shaking Sora's hand. "So, do you want inside your pokeball or do you want to be outside with me?" Sora asked. "Pika," Pikachu said hitting the ball away with it's tail. Sora laughed,"I guess that answers that question," He said. He put Pikachu on his shoulder and said bye to Prof. Oak and went over to his house to pick up a few things before leaving. "Better take a good look around now Pikachu, we won't be back here for awhile," Sora told his little pal. "Pika pi," Pikachu responsed. It took a look around Sora's bedroom. It got it's head stuck in a dresser,"Pikachu," Pikachu cried, shaking it's back legs and pushing on the dresser trying to get loose. "Oh Pikachu," Sora sighed, helping Pikachu out. Sora then grabed some clothes from the dresser after helping Pikachu out. Pikachu went to look around the other rooms while Sora packed. He ran into Sora's mother,"Oh you must be Sora's starter pokemon. Nice to meet you. I'm Sora's mother. Aren't you the sweetist little thing," Sora's mom said picking up Pikachu,"Pika pi, pikachu?" Pikachu said rubbing his head. "Ok, Pikachu, I'm ready," Sora called from upstairs. He came down the stairs backpack on his back,"Oh, mom I see you already met Pikachu huh." He said,"Well Pikachu it's time to be going little buddy." "Pi," Pikachu got on Sora's shoulder. Sora said bye to his mom and headed out on his way to the first place,'Viridian City.' A/N: How was that for the first chapter? I know short, but as I get more into the fic, I'll start writting more. Still pretty good though huh? I find that I'm pretty good with writting pokemon fics, it's about the only types of stories I am good at writting.
