A Trainer's Tale

A journey begins!

Five years ago...

It's afternoon, and two children are lying on the grass, looking up at the sky. One of them is a boy with raven black hair, with zigzag lines on his cheeks.

The other was a girl with brown hair, they watched the clouds while playing with which Pokémon the cloud shape corresponded to.

"Oh! That one is a Rattata!" The boy exclaimed, pointing at a cloud.

"That one is a Jigglypuff." The girl said pointing to another one.

They giggled, the boy looked thoughtful for a moment.

"Hey, Evie?"

The girl hummed.

"Do you... Do you think once we get our licensed to be trainer and start our journey, that we could travel together?"

Evelyn smiled. "Of course, Ash! It will be alot more fun to travel with a friend then travelling alone."

"Awesome!" Ash jumped to his feet in excitement. "We'll catches lots of Pokémon and I will win the league championship!"

Evelyn smirked. "Well... you'll have to beat me first in order to win it."

"Oh, you're on!" Ash declared.

"Ash! Evelyn! Dinner is ready!" Ash's mom called out.

"Coming!" Ash yelled back, before turning to Evelyn. "Hey, how about a race?"

"Alright." Evelyn start running towards the house. "The last one is a Slowpoke!"

Ash took off running after her. "Hey, that's cheating!"

They laugh as they run towards the house.

Timeskip, present day....

"And Nidorino begins with a Horn Attack... Oh! But, Gengar bounce right back!" The commentator announced, the crowd was cheering the two battling Pokémon, as the Indigo League was happening.

Gengar then use Hypnosis and put Nidorino to sleep.

"And there is it! The Hypnosis power of Gengar! This could be the end of Nidorino!" The commentator said, Nidorino's trainer recall him. "But, wait! The trainer recalls Nidorino! Which Pokémon will he use now?"

The trainer pulls out and throws a green Pokéball. Gengar jumps back as the Pokéball lands and an Onix comes out.

"Oh! It's Onix!" The commentator announced. Onix roared at Gengar before it lunged at it, but Gengar managed to get away. "And the giant Pokémon is on the attack! Oh ho! And gengar jumps aside"

The battle was being seen on TV as well. As the battle on the TV went wild, a familiar boy, put on his green fingerless gloves.

"Yes! I am Ash! And now that I'm 13, I can finally get my Pokémon license." Ash said to himself, as he tied his sneakers on, looking ready to head out. Ash looked much older now. "I will journey to gain the wisdom of Pokémon training." He picks up a Voltorb-like clock. "And I hereby declare to the Pokémon of the world... I will be a Pokémon Master! Pokémon Master... That's what I'll be!" He declared to himself.

As he finished, he heard a giggle behind him. Ash blinked, and turned to see Evelyn sitting on his bed giggling.

"Not bad of a speech, Ash." Evelyn giggled.

Which made him rub the back of his head sheepishly.

"Evelyn, your mother is here!" They hear Ash's mother calling from downstairs.

Evelyn gets up, glances at her watch and sees that it's 8pm. "Time flies, it's time for me to go. I'll see you tomorrow when we will get our starter."

"Yeah! See you tomorrow." Ash smiled.
