The road to the Grand Festival! (Pokemon Fanfic)

Where journeys begin!

With the Pokeball I recieved from my mother I walked outside towards the old shed that was located in our backyard. I put the pokeball away into my bagpack that I had filled with food and some clothes. I opened the door and grabbed my newly red-colored bike. On the front a little white basket had been installed that seemed just big enough for Eevee.

I picked her up and put her in the basket. It fit perfectly. I walked out of our backyard and began to ride my bike. The wind rushed through my hair as I build up speed. My first destination was the town of pallet where I was suppose to meet up with the famous professor Oak, so he could check on my Eevee.

It didn't take long for me, because I had been there before to visit the professor. My arrival however became known the moment I rode through the gate of the professors lab.  Which was surrounded by large patches of grass and big trees.

He knew I had entered the gate because it didn't go as you might think. The professor was teaching new trainers a few moves they could use in their future battles.
'Charmander please demonstrate your ember attack' the professor exclaimed as he pointed forward.

Charmander let out a blast of fire to show the power of the move. It wasn't meant to hit any target, but it hit my newly bought bike. Luckily it hit only the front of the wheel. Neither me or eevee got hurt, but I couldn't ride on my bike anymore.

''I'm so sorry'' the professor apologised. ''Don't worry'' I said. I thought we could fix it. However that was not the case. Once we were inside the professor told me that he would take care of my bike. I picked eevee up and handed her over to the professor. ''It won't take long'' he promised.

While he brought eevee to one of his assistants the other soon-to-be trainers gathered together to pick their started pokemon. I quickly examined them. They sat next to me on the couch. One of them was a boy with hazel brown hair and blue sapphire-like eyes. He wore brown shorts and a white shirt. He looked kind. There was a boy sitting next to him. The two boys looked exactly the same. The only difference was that he wore red jeans and a black shirt also his eyes had a red-ish color instead of blue. The other one was a girl. I heard one of the boys call her Sam. She had orange shoulder-length hair and wore a green summer dress.

''Do you already have any badges?'' one of the boys asked me. ''I don't'' I answered. ''Are you a new trainer just like us?'' the girl who was named Sam asked. ''Yeah I guess I am'' I smiled.

''I'm sorry'' the professor said as he walked back to us. ''First you may choose one of the pokemon'' he continued. ''You can choose one of the pokemon I showed you earlier today. It's the last step before you can begin your journey''. ''Who is going to choose first?'' One of the boys mumbled. ''You decide''

They both agreed Sam could choose first because they didn't mind which one they would end up with. The professor threw the poke balls up in the air. A red light appeared out of it. A moment later three pokemon stood in front of him.

Sam examined the pokemon carefully. ''I'll choose Charmander!'' She exclaimed. She walked up to the little lizard-like pokemon. ''My name is Sam. Would you like to travel with me?'' She smiled. The Charmander looked carefully at her before it nodded. ''Charr..'' it cried. Sam picked it up and took a few steps back. ''Alright'' the professor said. ''Still two left to choose from'' he smiled. ''How do you want to do it?'' One of the boys asked. ''I'll pick bulbasaur'' the one with the red shirt exclaimed. ''Squirtle would you like to join me?'' He asked. The cheerful pokemon jumped up into his arms and nodded. The other one couldn't care less. ''Return'' he emotionless said while he pointed his pokeball at the pokemon. ''I already gave you the supplies you'll need to begin your journey. I wish you the best of luck!''
