Chapter One: Receiving My Starter

by imnotsobeautiful

imnotsobeautiful This series will be in first person and it will be in my point of view (Annelise Joy).
This is the day that I get my valuable partner and from many of my trainer cards, you may have probably noticed that there is one in particular that I love and I hope that you enjoy the series of 'Adventures in the Kanto Region'.
It is the morning of the most important day of my life, no not my birthday, that isn't for another six months. But the day I get my first Pokemon and travel around the region catching other cool and mysterious Pokemon. I wake up early to get ready and I am wearing a long white dress and I have a matching hat.

I live with my father and his Pokemon: Charizard, Jolteon, and lastly a Shiny Ditto. I admired my father for a long time, he was a very powerful Pokemon trainer back in his day. He would tell me about his travels to the Unova region! I can't believe that there are so many different species of Pokemon in the world. I grab my bag and fling it on my shoulder and my father stops me at the door.

"Dad, come on. I'm gonna be late. I have to get there before everyone else to get the one I want." As I said that I takes out his camera and he snaps a picture of us and he is starting to cry.

"I know but it only been ten years that you were born and your mother would be so proud of you. And you will always keep reminding you how proud of you I am." Yeah, I forgot to tell you that my mother is not in this world anymore, she passed two years ago...she was unfortunately taken by the curse of the Ninetails. This is one of my biggest fears, facing a Ninetails and I just hope that I never meet up with one. And I just smile and I look at my father and kiss his cheek and I start to head out.

"I'll be back in like 15 minutes and you'll see that I will have a magnificent Pokemon like Charizard!!" I run out and I head to the Professor's and I see an entire line of people at the door and the time read: 7:08 am. How in the hell did this happen?? I turn my head confused at the amounts of people and I hear a voice from the head of the line.

"Annelise!!" I turn my head and see Dawson Klein, my next door neighbor and soon-to-be rival at this point. I walk to him and he just smiles that idiotic smile of his. And there is one of other person with him, a girl around the same age as us. She was wearing a visor and some shorts and she had long pigtails. She turned around and greeted me with a handshake.

"Hello, my name is Monique Ross. I just moved here about two days ago. Dawson has told me so much about you. And you're exactly like he said. You are really cute." I jump and turn to Dawson, I can't believe that Dawson say something like that to me in front of a total stranger.

"Thank you I guess. I am Annelise Joy, I've lived here my entire life. And it is a pleasure to meet you. You're here to get your Pokemon too?"

"Of course. I want to travel as soon as possible. I really want to get that Squirtle. I will fight for it!" I look at her and she is talking like a crazy woman and I just nervously laugh. And as that happens, the doors open and people were pushing and shoving to get into the lab. And I landed on the floor and get myself back up. I just walk around and look at all the research begin done, I said that I would grow up to be a Pokemon Professor and Researcher. I wanted to keep the memory of my mother alive and she had the same profession. It wasn't until I was interrupted by Professor Oak, who greeted me.

"You must be Danny's daughter. You look just like your mother. I say a split image of her but you have your father's eyes. Anyways, you're here for your first Pokemon, right?" I nod and I smile and I see that there is one Pokeball left. And it had this very strange aura or feeling about it. Professor Oak turns and sees what I'm staring at.

"You really want a Pokemon don't you? And I promise Dan that you wouldn't leave without one. But I have to warn you that this Pokemon is very different from the rest, its coat is a different color from its original which means that its nature will be entirely different. Do you understand?" I nod my head and I am trying to understand what he is trying to say but it wasn't until Professor Oak had released the Pokemon out of its Pokeball. And I finally understood what he meant, it was a Shiny Charmander and it was very timid, it was hiding in a corner and I just tried to get closer. I manage to pick it up and he is very insecure about itself. I smile and just hug it and it was just shocked. This Pokemon must have been through some hard times before it was put into this lab. I will bond with this Pokemon and I will make it stronger and create a stronger bond and it will build confidence in itself.

"Thank you Professor Oak. I'll take very good care of it." I just had this adorable yellow Charmander in my arms and I walked to my house, cradling it like it made out of the world's most precious China. I get home and the first thing I see is my father's Charizard at the door, he seemed very tense and he noticed the unique Pokemon. He was picking up the scent from the new arrival and he just immediately accepts the smaller one and walks away.

WELCOME HOME LITTLE ONE, MY LITTLE CHARMANDER
