DISCLAIMER: I don’t own Pokemon. I only own Cody Lambert. (Not the Cody Lambert from Step By Step) CHAPTER 1- Partners In Crime The sun was shining in the town called New Bark Town, as the sun was rising from the peaks of the mountains, it lit up the room of a person who was taking a nap in his house. As he woke up, the room was black with the window behind him. The side window was covered. He always liked it that way. He never liked rays of sun in the morning shine both ways, just behind him was good enough. He got out of bed as his green shirt and black silky pants were exposed to the sunlight. His brown hair was all over the place as his blue eyes was filled with light. He went over to his closet and pulled out a red shirt, a black leather jacket, a gold hat and green pants. He pulled out his golden chain that was in his dresser with his red socks. He got dressed and put all the other stuff into his backpack. He knew that today was the day that Cody Lambert was going to go on a journey to who knows where? He was getting his starter Pokemon, but he wasn’t sure on where to go. It could be Johto, Kanto, Orre, Hoenn, Sevii Islands, etc., who cares as long as he has a Pokemon, he could go anywhere. He ran downstairs to have breakfast. His mom and dad, brother and sister were there, waiting for him. Even their pet Meowth, named Kitty Meow was waiting for him. Today’s breakfast was eggs, bacon, sausage and hash browns. As Cody sat down, they all sat there staring at him. He looked at them like they had two heads or something. “Uh, I have a question,” he said. “What?” asked his father, who was drinking his coffee, almost spilling on his pants and tie. “Why are you all staring at me?” he asked. “Oh, It’s because, my eleven year old boy is going on a journey. Where to? The Orange Islands? Hoenn? Johto? Kanto? Orre? Where?” asked his mother, as she accidentally tripped and landed in her chair. “Well, to tell you the truth, I really don’t know for sure,” said Cody. “The world is big and I am really not sure what to do,” “Well bro, wherever you go this family will be beside you all the way,” his younger brother, Danny said. “Yeah,” said Stephanie. “We will be here cheering you on,” “I remember my days when I was a Pokemon Trainer,” said his father. “Those were the glorious days I had in my life until I met your mom kids,” “Oh, James. You didn’t have to,” his mom said as she stroked her brown hair using a brush. Cody finished eating and took his bag, before he left, his dad called out to him. “Cody, wait I have to give you something!” said James. His father went to his study and pulled out a green box. “I want you to take this, I want you to keep in contact with us,” Cody opened the gift and realized it was a red cell phone. He opened the phone and saw a fiery setting to his banner, it said, “Cody, Good Luck”. “Oh, dad! Thanks!” he said. “I better get to the Professor’s,” Cody finally arrived at Professor Elm’s Laboratory. He was the only resident in New Bark Town that was heading to whatever league he was going to. “Hello, Professor Elm,” Elm pressed his glasses up, “Hello, Cody. How are you?” “I’m fine. You?” “I’m okay,” he said. “I guess you are here for your Pokemon, right?” “Yeah, is there any Pokemon left?” “Why, yeah. There is only one of the starters left,” Professor Elm went to the back room and pulled out a Poke Ball that contained the last starter in New Bark. “Here it is,” he said as he released the Pokemon from the Poke Ball. “Oh my, A Cyndaquil! I love that Pokemon,” he said. “Cool, I know you will treat it with love and care. Here, I told Professor Oak about you and he wanted to give you something important that you can’t replace,” He pulled out a red box. (Looks like the G/S/C Pokedex, couldn’t describe it) “Oh cool,” said Cody, “What is it?” “That’s a Pokedex. It records anything you see or catch. Oak told me that can help you so DON’T LOSE IT!” “Great,” said Cody. “Thank you,” Cody left the lab and went back to home to pack some equipment up that he deliberately forgot.
