Early in the morning in Vaniville town Serena had gotten dressed. She was wearing a black sleeveless shirt with a white collar, a red skirt and black leggings. She was going through several hats she had trying to decide which one to wear.
The previous night she asked her mother if she could start her Pokémon journey and after some begging Grace called professor Sycamore. The door opened and Fletching flew in followed by Grace.
"Serena you have all your things packed?".
"Yes mom, I'm just not sure about which that I should wear. Which do you think I should wear". Serena said holding a pink hat with a ribbon and bow around it in one hand and a salmon hat with a white ball on the top in the other.
"Hmm, I'd go with that one" Grace said pointing to the hat with the white ball on the top.
"Perfect" Serena put on the pink hat with the ribbon around it.
"Why did you ask me if you already knew which one you are going to put on?".
"I didn't I just needed to know which one you thought was better". Grace sighed. Serena walked out the door wearing a red backpack with Grace close behind her.
"Now remember to stay safe out there. Pokemon centers will allow you to spend the night. Also to watch out for strangers, law enforcement says there have been sightings of the criminal organization team rocket".
"I know mom don't worry". Serena started walking up rout 1 towards Lumoise city.
Elsewhere on rout 4 Ash, Clemont, and Bonnie were resting in the small campsite they made off the side of the road. Rout 4 was a mostly wooded area with some rocks and rocks formations.
Bonnie was watching as Ash and Clemont were having a small battle with their Pokémon.
"Pikachu use thunderbolt".
"Bunnelby used dig". Bunnelby quickly used his ears to burrowed himself under ground as Pikachu unleashed thunderbolt.
"Pikachu use agility". Pikachu quickly moved around the campsite never staying in one location more than a moment. One Bunnelby came up Pikachu God out of the way just in time to avoid him.
"Bunnelby use mud shot!".
"Pikachu use quick attack". "Pika!" Pikachu sprinted forward using his speed to evade the incoming mud shots as Bunnelby hurled them at Pikachu with his ears. Just before Bunnelby reached the ground Pikachu hit him with quick attack knocking him onto his back.
"Nice work Pikachu that was great" .
"It's alright Bunnelby you're still doing good". Moments later Red walked back into the campsite with Charmander by his side. When the others saw him , they noticed both him and charmander had proud expressions on their faces.
"There you are Red. Where have you been all morning?" Ash said.
"Sorry I didn't tell you, but Charmander and I got up early this morning looking for Pokémon to catch and check out who I've got" Red said as he took out one of his Pokéball's and threw it forward. A relatively large bird Pokémon came out. The bird looked about 2 feet tall and 35 pounds. It had a sharp black beak with red feathers on its head and back. Gray feathers on its underside. Black and yellow feathers on its wings, black and white tailfeathers, and black legs.
"Woah what is that?" Ash said as he took out his pokedex "Fletchinder the ember bird: From its beak, it expels embers that set the tall grass on fire. Then it pounces on the bewildered prey that pop out of the grass."
"You caught that!" Clemont said.
"That's right, Charmander and I caught him".
"That's so cool Red, you caught your first Pokémon" Clemont said.
