BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! The alarm clock blares as a hand grasps it, muffling its ritual cry. The hand unskillfully manages to turn it off, but not before knocking photos and books on to the ground below. Quickly the hand retracts to whence it came, a lump of sheets moves around before legs pop out where the hand once was, eventually the sheets fall off a teenaged boy, his hair bedraggled and eyes closed shut as if they hadn’t had enough sleep. The boy stretches with a yawn as the sun peaks through the cracks in his blinds, causing him to flinch and quickly cover his sensitive eyes. With in a few seconds the boy is up on the floor, rubbing his tired eyes and shuffling towards his bedroom door and the bath room. Once finished his morning ritual and freshening up with in the bathroom the boy appears to be rejuvenated and entirely a whole new being.

His name is Edward Stonechild, only having been born in to this world seventeen years ago he lives on his own in a small apartment complex with in the town of Truce, a relatively quiet town with a mere two-hundred and forty-seven people with in the community. As he exits his apartment the sun shines down brightly on him, he is clad in a casual and worn-out pair of jeans, regular sneakers and a casual white t-shirt. He brushes back his shaggy hair with his fingers as he takes in a deep breath of the morning air. His figure is average for any male, six foot two inches with an average weight, not muscular but not scrawny he looks like any other average boy of his age. He takes out a pair of sunglasses, putting them on; he goes about his day, rushing down the stairs of his apartment to the ground floor and out the gate of the complex.

He goes about his normal routine, jogging around the town at a brisk pace waving to familiar faces and smiling as he experiences the wind blowing in his face as he runs against it. His journey was the same everyday of his life, stopping by the Research Center, home of Professor Cypress and her team of scientists. Though he wasn’t a scientist, nor a research or technician, he was very interested in the going on with in the facility. As such he was welcome with open arms by everyone there, their love of showing off and impressing people was well known around the town.

“Professor Cypress!!!! Are you around? It’s Edward!” Edward shouted out as he entered the building, technicians looking over and smiling at him as he wandered around looking for the Professor.

“In the Training Chamber, Edward!” was the response from the professor.

Edward would run up the stairs of the facility to the second floor that overlooked the entrance, before running in to the Training Chamber, Professor Cypress getting out of a small pool waving to Edward.

“Well hi there Edward, good to see you.” She said as she got out of the pool and placed her hands on her hips. Edward was just staring with his mouth open at the sight before him. There stood the professor in a light blue string bikini flaunting her body with out a care in the world. She stood around five feet seven inches, with a ravishing frame that made her the talk of the town on most Saturday nights, her long auburn hair clang to her back as she grinned at Edward.

“Ya know, there are better ways to express astonishment then leaving your mouth a gape.” She laughed as Edward quickly closed his mouth and coughed.

“Yeah well I was caught by surprise is all…” was his excuse as he began to turn red and bend forward slightly.

“So are you here to ask me again, for the millionth time, if I’ll go out with you?” the Professor was now picking on Edward as he frowned.

“I only asked you once, and I had too much to drink at the time! YOU KNOW THAT!” he shouted at her before turning around, he wasn’t fond of being picked on, especially by the girl he secretly admired for years.

Professor Cypress was the youngest professor of her generation, she had surpassed many other Researchers in her field by the age of nineteen, and that was only a couple of years ago. Now she was the smartest woman in the region, and by far one of the prettiest, she was constantly getting love letters in the mail, and even once had to beat up someone who was stalking her, he probably should have done a little more research to find out she was also a black belt in Kenpo.

“Too bad, since I was totally going to say yes this time.” She put on a sad face that Edward didn’t buy even for a second.

“Nope, not going to work on me, see I’ve trained myself to see through deception!” he crossed his arms and closed his eyes still not looking her way, “Besides I came here because I finally decided I’d like to help you with your Research.” Edward had been planning to ask her for awhile now, and secretly it was just a ploy to be closer to her everyday, with out her catching on to his feelings.

Professor Cypress grinned as she turned away from him drying off her hair with a towel that was by her feet, “Well…I really don’t have any openings…” this news brought Edward down a notch as he stopped frowning and uncrossed his arms, “However, I do have one assignment no one has been able to follow through with yet.” She had turned around grinning at him as he looked over his shoulder, his curiosity peaked.

“Well what is it Amy?” he had let his guard down and let her first name slip, he blushed as he said her name…he wasn’t used to calling her that. She just smiled at him and said, “I need you to collect one of every pokemon, not including the evolved versions. Start with the first form, and evolve them yourselves. You can use this device; it was given to me by my uncle’s good friend. It’s called a Pokedex.”

Amy walked over to her desk in the Training Chamber and picked up a rectangular device that flipped open, a camera on the side. Edward went towards her and took it.

“How am I supposed to catch all the pokemon? I don’t have one of my own to help me.” Edward was slow on this point, mystified by the device he now held in his hand.

“I’m going to give you one of course, silly.” Just as Amy had spoken those words out popped a Poliwag which ran up to Edward and attempted to head butt him, failing miserably it walks around dazed.

“Speak of the Devil, there he is. Poliwag, this is your new trainer…Edward!” Amy smiled at the Poliwag as it jumped up and down being acknowledged by her.

“That little thing is going to be my first Pokemon? He tried attacking me!” Edward shouted.

“Oh don’t worry about that, he’s just protective of me is all.” Amy said with a giggle as she put her lab coat on and took out a pokeball, tossing it to Edward.

“Well don’t just stand there, get going you got a hell of a lot of work ahead of you!” and with those final words Edward had drawn himself in to a new adventure, and adventure of friendship, love, and travel.
