My first fanfic.  Hope you like it.  Please do not spam me.  It took long enough to eat my 
parents stock of Y2K spam.  Tasted horrible too.  I like Monty Python, so please excuse 
bottom half. 
Yes, the main character is named after me. (Note: I am 13, and thus less mature than the 
character Tranum.  I do not have a guitar.  I do have a grand piano and a harmonica, 
though!)

 The Beginning, AKA Lovely Spam, Wonderful Spam 

 "Spam!" 
 "Pika Pi p'chu! (No, pie is good!) 
 In any case, the agreement was never reached on whether to have pie or spam.  Mostly 
because the pizza guy came right about then. 
 "If I pay you, will you go away?" inquired Tranum. 
 "Most probably." Replied the nerdy pizza guy. 
 "Okay then." 
 At this point, Tranum rummaged around in his pockets, looking for spare change. 
 "Shoot, will you accept this?" 
 "A tin of Spam?!?!?!" 
 "Yes, well it is all I happen to have on me right now." 
 "How about three?" 
 "What the ~expletive~ are you going to do with three tins of spam?" 
 "Use them as payment." 
 "And you'll go away if I give 'em to you?" 
 "Yes" 
 "Ok then" 
 Tranum paid him the tins of Spam. 
 Nerdy pizza guy left. 
 Tranum was happy, and sat down with his pet Pikachu to eat the pizza. 
 "Tastes good, does it not?" 
 "Pik Pi Chu? (Anchovies??????)" 
 "Hey, you were the one who wanted some!" 

 Tranum was 9 years old, and had raised Pikachu, whom he called Pi, from birth, as Pi 
had been abandoned, for reasons yet unknown.  The next week, he would receive his 
Pokemon with which he would begin his Pokemon League adventure. 

 Tranum had a way with Pokemon, and he was always walking around town with Pi.  He 
lived in Pallet Town, and had no actual family.  He lived in the basement of a small 
house, and was obsessed with his guitar.  His best friend, Ash Ketchum, had left Pallet 
two years earlier.  

 ~Ahem, time warp~

 One week later! 

 Tranum nervously walked into Professor Oaks lab, to receive his First ~cough~ official 
~cough~ Pokemon. 
 "Morning, Tranum!" Oak greeted Tranum. 
 "Morning" 
 "You're here early!" 
 "I'm sure you remember what happened to Ash, eh?" 
 "Yes, I do, but –"
 Oak was cut short by Pi. 
 "Pi pika ~snort~" (Pi was in Tranums knapsack, and had been awoken by one of 
Tranums many fidgety motions.) 
 "Oh, hello, Pi, didn't see you there!  Well, in any case, I suppose you should come in…"
 "Thank you" 

 A short while later, Tranum was standing in the main vestibule of Oaks lab. (If you don't 
know what a vestibule is, get a dictionary.  If you don't have a dictionary, use 
Wiktionary!)  
 "Well, I suppose you want a cup of coffee?" 
 "No thanks, I'm hyper enough without it…"
 "Well, ok.  You know which Pokemon there are?" 
 "Yep.  I think I'll take…"
