The journey begins

by Chris the trainer150

Chris the trainer150 Tess is a young trainer who is finally old enough to go off on her own journey through Kanto, however, she gets in way over her head
Tess had woken up late and was rushing to get all her gear, her bag, her running shoes ect. As Tess finally left her house and was running over to the lab, she sees a figure in a purple coat, heading to the lab, with a charmander at his side, thinking its her father, she naturally runs to hi "DADDY! WAIT FOR ME!"

As tess got closer to the man, she soon realized that this man wasn't her father, he didn't even share a style with her father, she had just wanted to see him so bad, she saw any man as her father. "O-oh, I'm sorry sir, I thought you were my father..." The man in purple turned around and faced tess, then she saw that he was only her age, and had a very hansome face, his eyes were a beautiful shade of violet, his teath were pearly white, his pale skin had a purple tint to it, and his smile was dazzling, he only looked as young as her, but he had so much wisdom in his eyes, and maybe a little saddness, then he spoke and tess was even more dazzled "oh, its ok, I understand" the boy said with a smile, tess's heart melted when she heard his deep tenor voice, it was so beautiful, she didn't realize that she had turned a dark shade of red, she was looking at him and blushing from his voice as he looked her over, with calculating eyes. "I-i-u-mm..." Tess trailed off as she blushes a deeper shade of red than before. "Nice to meet you, my name's purple" said purple "what's your name?" He asked tess as she stood there blushing and studdering like an idiot. A few minutes pass before she regains her sense "i-im tess, I'm just starting out as a trainer, and I'm ready to make friends through pokemon" tess blushed again as purple looked at her "oh, that's cool, I've been a trainer for a while, charmanders my main,but I have others" he smiled again and dazzled Tess once more"w-well...I gotta go get my pokemon...bye" tess rushed off, not caring if he said anything in reply as she rushed to professor oaks lab. "I-i made a damn fool of myself in front of a cute boy..." Tess walks into oaks lab and oak smiles as she walks in "h-hi great uncle oak" oak wasn't her great uncle, but her father was like a nephew to him, so she grew up calling oak "great uncle"

"In these three pokeballs are starter pokemon, three Pokemon with whom you may travel and experience many adventures with" said Professor Oak with a smile. "But you know that, these three I have under the table are specifically for you, from your father, well not all three, but you can choose one of the three". Oak pulled three pokeballs out, one had a gold, leaf shaped sticker on top, the second had a gold, water droplet shaped sticker and the final had a gold, fire shaped sticker on it. The other pokeballs had the same shaped stickers, but different colors, green for the leaf, blue for the droplet and red for the fire. "now Tess, I will send these pokemon out to let you see what they look like" oak then sent out a gold charmander, a gold bulbasaur and a lighter blue squirtle with a green shell. Tess at this point was in tears from happiness at the fact that her father would do this for her "w-well to honor my father the way he honored me, I will choose..." She glanced for a second at the squirtle but quickly looked at charmander "to honor my father, I choose charmander" she smiled when the little dinosaur like pokemon looked at her "c-can I nickname her?" Tess looked at Oak questioningly. Oak looked at her and smiled "of course, but how did you know she was a girl?". Tess looked at Oak and smiled "well she told me, you should know my father taught me to the best of his ability to understand all pokemon, you did know he could do that right?". Oak looked at tess with a very surprised look not fully having realized that her father could actually do this "well that's impressive" said Oak. Tess smiled at Oak and decided on a name "her name will be Chloë". Said tess with a smile. "Ok, that's a good name for her, have fine traveling tess, and be careful." Smiled Oak.

As Tess was leaving professor Oaks lab, she was smiling and thinking of how proud she was going to make her dad and how she could even surpass him someday. "Hey where do you think you're going?" Said a voice from behind Tess "you can't get out without paying a fine" said the gruff voice, Tess recognized his voice, he was the local school bully and anytime someone started on their journey, they had to pay a fine, but she didn't want to, so she decided it was time to stand up to him "Zach, I will not be stopped by you, or anyone, I want to be like my father, now if you wanna try and stop me, go ahead". Tess kept walking as Zach smirked and pulled out a duskball "ok, let's see what you got short stack" he smirked as he threw his ball "let's go machop" he shouted as a small grey humanoid pokemon apeared "you know we are undefeated right?" Zach boasted, with a grin on his smug face. "I-i do" said tess with her burst of bravery and confidence gone "l-lets go Cloë." Tess sent out her partner and gained a little more confidence "machop, use karate chop, now!" Shouted Zach. Tess cringed as she watched machop rush at Cloë "c-cloë use ember to throw him off". Cloë nodded and flung some fire from her tail at machop, machop then stopped and tried to wipe embers from his eyes and Tess seized the opportunity "Cloë use scratch, then another ember, fast" Cloë nods and smiled as she scratched machop across the chest then flung fire from her tail at machops face. Tess smiled as she finally gained confidence and was actually winning now "great job Cloë" Cloë smiled and jumped back as Zach's machop had a firey arua around him "well bad news is machop was burned" said Zack "the good news is, you activated his ability...GUTS" Machops firey aura went down, then changed from orange to red as it flared up, but much differently this time, last time it was orange and looked like flames, but this time it was red and looked more like a ghostly body extension "Machop, use low kick!" Machop rushed Cloë and kicked at her legs and Cloë fell hard. "Now, use karate chop" "CLOË USE EMBER!"the two attacks collided a Machop was flung back words, fainted, there was a heavy smoke around Cloë so it was near impossible to see if she had made it 'please Cloë, you can do this' thought Tess. A shadow rose from the smoke after a couple seconds of watching, then a very battered Cloë stepped out of the smoke, a little off valence "YES, WE WIN CLOË"
