Pokémon RBY Adventures.

Chapter 1: My 17th Birthday

*RING-RING-RIIIIIIIIIING*

My alarm clock rung loud in my ear. It didn't matter, I'd already woke up way earlier. It was my 17th birthday today. It was a very special day for me. While most kids in Kanto are allowed to start their Pokémon journey at the age of ten, some complications with the law set me back. When I was 10, I got into a fight with my neighbour's son, Matt. I'd ended up beating him really bad, and him, me. Because of our violent acts, were both deemed unfit to own a Pokémon until the age of 17. Which sucked, because my best friend, Ash, was starting his journey that day, and we planned to start our journeys together. I keep in contact with him, he's doing well, he has a girlfriend, Serena I think he told me her name was, in a completely different region, Alola I think. 

Anyway, enough about that. I got up, got changed, and ran downstairs as fast as possible. "Muuuuuuum" I said, as I ran downstairs. "Mum, are you up?" No answer. I got to the bottom of the stairs and looked around. I was worried. "Mum? Dad?" A light came on. "Huh?" "SURPRISE!" "Happy Birthday son" My Mother said, as she gave me a hug. I returned the hug as I said, "Oh my word, you guys are amazing." I looked around the kitchen as I saw what was prepared for me. The table was set with ridiculously amazing looking Bacon and eggs. Pancakes with maple syrup. An amazing treat. Tears grew in my eyes. "Th-thank you mum, dad" I said. We sat down to eat.

After eating just about everything, my parents looked at each other, and nodded. I was confused a little. Mum then grabbed my hand and said. "My little boy is all grown up." she started tearing up. "17 years, since you came into the world. Cody, I'm so proud of you." "Thanks mum" I said. Dad said the same, but less emotional. (You know how dads are) After that, my mum lifted a bag onto the table. "Open it, Cody" sge said, as she gave it to me. "Ok" I took the bag and peered inside. Inside was a white shirt with a PokéBall design, a black jacket a black cap with a similar PokéBall pattern. "Oh my god..." I whispered. There was also a blue backpack a pair of jeans and white sneakers. "No way. Is this....??" I said. Mum nodded. "Thank you mum and dad." I said crying. "Thank you" 

"Bye Mum! Bye Dad! I promise I'll keep in contact!" I said as I left my house. I was decked out in my new clothes and was ready to go to Professor Oak to finally, after so many years, get a starter Pokémon. "Stay safe Cody!" mum said. I waved and eventually set off. I was in front Oak's Lab when I saw Matt, the kid who got me into trouble, walking out of the lab with a PokéBall in hand. "You" he said as saw me. "Yeah? What?" I asked looking at him. There was a short silence for a few seconds. "Hahaha, just messing with ya, Cody." he said laughing. "Finally getting a Pokémon huh?" he jeered. "Yeah, well, so are you." I answered. "Meh, it doesn't matter to me" he grabbed my shoulder. "What matters is you don't get in my way." I shook him off. "Yeah, anyway, what Pokémon did you get?" I asked. "Well, if you MUST know" he said. "You'll have to battle me." he laughed. "Oh, wait, you don't have a Pokémon yet." He started leaving. "See you around buddy!" he said. I ignored him. He always does that. I looked at the lab. It was much like a farm. I saw Tauros out the back, 30 of them. "Why are there 30 of them? What kid would catch 30 Tauros?" I wondered. "Oh well." I took a deep breath in and opened the door to the lab.
