Chapter 1:: Ryou Bakura, the New Trainer
 
 A young boy lays awake in his bed, trying to fall asleep. But he can't, for 
tomorrow, he will become 10 years old. But it wasn't just that, he would also 
become a Pokemon Trainer. He trys to rest, but it was no use. He looks at his 
alarm clock. It reads 9:58 PM. He turns his head so he can look at the ceiling 
and sighs. A few moments later, he falls into a deep sleep.
 
 An annoying noise sets off. It's an alarm clock. The young boy hits the clock 
off and sits up, rubbing his eyes. He glances at the clock, which reads 7:43 AM. 
"Hm... why did I set it this early?" Then he remembers that today is the day. 
"Oh yeah!" He gets out of bed and gets dressed. "Today, I'll become a Pokemon 
Trainer!" He says as he grabs his bookbag. He grabs his pendent, the Millennium 
Ring, which contains a spirit.
 
 "Happy Birthday, Ryou!" The boy's father says. Ryou Bakura, now 10 years old, 
smiles. "You're going to start your Pokemon journey today, right?" The father 
asks. "Uh-huh." Ryou nods as he puts his pendent around his neck. He hugs his 
father and goes out, waving to his father. Ryou slows up and looks ahead of him. 
He lives in a small town known as Pallet Town, and he is going to go see 
Professor Surgoku, a Pokemon genius, to get his first Pokemon. 
 
 "Welcome, Ryou. Are you here to get your first Pokemon?" Professor Surgoku 
asks. He wears a lab coat and has grey hair. "Yes sir." Ryou says, bowing 
formally. "Well, come here and let's see." Professor Surgoku offers. Ryou walks 
over to where he can choose his first Pokemon, either a Charmander, Squitle, or 
a Bulbasaur.
 
 Ryou picked up one of the PokeBalls and opens it. It was empty. "Aw, man." He 
says as he puts it back. He picks up another one, and it was also empty! "Crud." 
He puts that back. Grabbing the last one, he wispers, "I hope this one has a 
Pokemon." He opens it, and... it was empty. "What?!" Ryou crys. He puts it back 
and turns to Professor Surgoku. "Do you have one more?" 
 
 Professor Surgoku nods and says with cationt, "But be careful." He grabs a 
PokeBall in the middle of where the three empty ones sits. He opens it, and a 
little yellow Pokemon appears onto the table next to Ryou. It looks like a small 
mouse with pointed ears. "Wow!" Ryou's face brightens up. "Is that a Pikachu!?" 
He asks, excited. Professor Surgoku nods. "Awesome!" Ryou picks up the Pikachu, 
and...
 
 ZAP! The small mouse zaps Ryou. When Pikachu's done, Ryou laughs a bit. "I, uh, 
guess I'll need to watch out for that." Professor Surgoku laughs a bit as well, 
and gives Ryou his 6 PokeBalls and PokeDex. He explains how to use them, seeing 
that Ryou already knows how. 
 
 When they were done, Ryou walks out, about to begin his Pokemon journey!
 
Whew! Kinda reminds you of Ash, eh? Well, this fanfic is totally gonna be cool!
 
For everyone who reads "Life's an Adventure": I have a major writer's block for 
that one fanfic, so I'll be working on this for awhile. It'll take awhile til I 
update that fanfic, but don't worry, it'll be finished.
For everyone who reads "Ash in Battle City": I have a major writer's block for 
that one as well. I need to think of a better deck for Ash, so I might have to 
re-do the whole thing. I'll be begin working on this one after Life's an 
Adventure is finished.
For eveyone who reads my other incomplete fanfics: I'll try to work on them a 
while after Ash in Battle City is over... hopefully.
 
Thanks, and I hope you understand. ^_^
