Pokemon Hoenn Journeys

Here comes a new challenger!

As moonlight casts over Littleroot Town, flocks of Taillow fly overhead. As humans and Pokemon live in peace with one another, while some live in peace with Pokemon, able to live quietly as a companionship or even having bonds, others show in the strength in competitions with the bond and synchronization with their fellow Pokemon. Known as The Pokemon League.

On this night a boy, 9 years old turning 10 at the start of midnight rests on his bed. Looking at the ceiling, wondering what choice he will make.
This boy is known as Melody. Who's dream is to become a Pokemon Champion. His gaze turns to his right wall looking at a poster. On it, a Metagross, with a human who's known as his Idol, Steven Stone. Underneath it showed big letters written "Pokemon League Challenge! Join Today!"

Melody tightened his grip as he held the covers. He was building anticipation. An image of a stadium emerged in his imagination. A roaring crowd echoing the area. He looked forward and there stood Steven. Cool smile, strong willed, and wisest of the wise for all trainers in Hoenn.
Steven sent out Metagross. The ground shook as it landed on the field letting out a battlecry.
"Come at me Trainer!" Steven shouted.

A Pokeball appeared in Melody's right hand. He didn't know what Pokemon resided in this Pokeball but he wasn't about to back down. He smiled back at Steven and threw the Pokeball.

A flash emulated from it blinding Melody, he shut his eyes and when he reopened them. It was morning, sunlight landed in his face as he woke.
Taillow started chirping at nearby Wingulls.
He sat straight up at the knock on his door.

"Mel, wake up it's almost time for your big day!" Came from the door. It was his mother. "I'm coming!" Melody said as he quickly got up and changed into the outfit right at the end of his bed.

On his way down the stairs, his found his mother cooking breakfast with the aid of her Beautifly. The aroma had a very nice scent of pancakes and eggs. His favorite way to start the day.

"Have you decided what your first Pokemon will be?" His mother asked. Melody paused as he was about to sit down. He still hasn't been able to decide. Every night before hand he had the same dream to be on the grandest stage to face off against his Idol and each time when he threw that Pokeball his dream would end there. "I'll make my decision when I get there. This way it's a surprise," he replied.

His mother rolled her eyes, she could read her son like a book. "Just make sure you choose carefully. This is your first Pokemon partner and you don't want to be stuck with one that gives you problems like one that I knew." She laughed as Beautifly flew into into her face. "I'm just kidding Beautifly! Relax! Hey! Becareful I have plates with me!"

Melody quickly finished his breakfast and got up to reach for his backpack. "Wish me luck mom!"
His mother and Beautifly nodded and gave a good wave.

He walked down the road sided path that lead to the Professors Lab. He was stopped by one of the scientist. "Professor Birch went into the woods to study some Pokemon he said to wait for him here. As there are wild Pokemon and  it could be dangerous to go alone."

Suddenly there was an explosion in forest that the scientist pointed at. "That doesn't sound good" Melody sprinted towards now collapsing tree.
