[Blake Manley] Today is the day...

[Blake Manley]

It's been 9 Years since I've seen my loving Mother and Father. But today, is the day where I set off on my Journey to become a Pokemon Master and to save my Parents. I packed the 5 Pokeballs Professor Oak gave me a week ago and began to head out. "Come on, Scraggy! It's time to show trainers what we're made of!" And then I put Scraggy in my Backpack. Because we have such a close bond, I never want him to be trapped in a Pokemon like what other Trainers do. Then, my Grandmother arrived to me and had said, "Be strong, my grandson! You had many Adventures ahead of you.. and I believe you will have a fun time in all of them!" Then I nodded and smiled at her. So then I headed out the door and just remembered! Kie and Shun are Pokemon Trainers, too! That's means those morons will be seeing alot of me then I ever wanted them to. "Scraggy! Scrag!" I looked at Scraggy and gave him a big grin. "With your power and me directing you, there's no one that can stop us!" And then me and Scraggy strolled around Pallet Town until we were ready to start going to the next towns!

[Shun Oak]

Shun laided in his bed as his alarm clock began to go off all the sudden. "Mm.." He moaned as he threw the cover over his head, shielding himself. Coming out of a giant drawer in Shun's room, his PokeMon partner Squirtle arose as he saw Shun ignoring the clock. "Squirt.." Squirtle said, rubbing his eyes and then jumping out of the drawer, going inside of its shell, then landing heavily apon the 14 year old trainer. In a shocking and painful reaction, Shun jumped out of his bed, landing on the hard wooden floor

"Squirtle!" He said, angrily as he then looked at the time. "We're late! Kie and Blake have probably already started on their journeys.." Shun said, grabbing his purple shirt throwing his lab jacket over it. Then, running down stairs while trying to put his shoes on as he fell down the stairs, landing right next to the kitchen, where his father Professor Gary Oak, stood in the kitchen.

"Your a little late, aren't you?" He said with a laughing, sipping his coffee then replacing the Kanto Region Newspaper back infront of his face. Shun rolled his eyes as he then grabbed his breakfast, soon, gobbling it down. "Dad, do you have my PokeBalls..?" He said, cockily. Professor Oak pointed towards the living room, as five shiny PokeBalls sat apon the nice oak table. "You know.. You can always be a Pokemon Scientist like the rest of your family, son.." His father said as he looked at his son, wishing he'd change his mind of the trainer decision.

"No way, Dad..! I'm willing to break the cycle & try something new that I can be remembered for.." Shun said, as he through his plate into the sink soon moving towards the living room and stocking his PokeBalls in his travel pack. Professor Oak smiled as he found his son's drive and determination of being a trainer intriguing and unlike any love the Oak family has witness. Pro. Oak soon walked over to his son, removing his glasses, and placing a hand apon Shun's shoulder. "Make sure that you think about your Mother and keep her memory alive while your out there, okay?" The Professor-Father said to his son.

Shun smiled weakily; Feeling down about the passing of his sickened mother. "You know I will, Dad.." Shun said, soon giving him a playful punch, soon, hugging his Dad. "I will become the best.." Shun said, soon pulling away from his Dad.

Pro. Oak's cellphone alarm soon went off as he then noticed it was time for him to be getting to the the Pokemon Lab. "I have to go.. Be safe, son.. I'll be watching you.." He said, as then remembered. "Here, take this.." He said, handing him his old PokeDex. "You need it more then me.." He said, patting his son's back, then, walking out of the door.

Squirtle stood next to Shun as he smiled at his Pokemon partner, cockily. "We will be the best Squirtle & I will evolve you into a Blastoise.." He said, as they then high-fived each other. Shun soon put his travel pack on his back, as Squirtle hopped inside of it.

"Let's go!" Shun said, soon sprinting out of the door.

[Blake Manley]

As I was walking around, I decided that I should gather Shun and Kie and probably ask them to join me for a little while. We were friends so, I doubt they'd cause that much trouble around me! "Come on, Scraggy! Let's go check out if Shun and Kie are at home. I hope they're willing to join us on our Adventure. After all, the more the merrier." Scraggy pounced happily "Scrag! Scraggy!"So we walked along to Shun's House first to allow him to join us. Once I attempted to open the door, it flew out itself and I was shoved into the nearby bushes. I then popped out me head. "Hey! Watch where you're going, you jerk!"

I then tried to get out of the bushes and pull Scraggy out. "You okay, Buddy?" Scraggy shook the leaves off his body and then nodded to me happily

[Shun Oak]

"Blak-!" Shun said as he flew back through his door, noticing he ran into his good friend and one of his rival Pokemon trainers, Blake Manley & his new Pokemon, Scraggy. Shun hit the floor as Squirtle went inside of his shell, spinning across the ground in a circle from falling. "Manley!" He said, as held his head, looking outside into the bush; "What the heck is your problem..?" Shun said, as Squirtle soon got up and stood next to his side. "Squirt-squirtle!" He said, as he added on to what Shun was saying; But, instead the message was to Scraggy, seeing people can't understand Pokemon.

Manley, Oak, and Ketchum were friends since they were kids, hoping one day that they would rise up to the occasion & become the next best trainers of the new generation of Pokemon masters. Shun adjusted his jacket and then fixed his hair; Soon, standing up and looking at Manley in his father's bush. "You were about to make me late.." Shun said, soon smiling not even mad about the door thing. "Need a hand..?" He said, then, pulling Manley from the bush; Squirtle helping Scraggy out of the bush to.

"Seems like your own an early start, Blake and Scraggy.." He said, then letting go of his hand and standing, looking at the sun in the sky. "Enough talk though.. We have to go get Kie and start this journey, okay?" Shun said, patting his back. "The longer we wait, the less time we have to become the best.. I know you want that, Manley.." Shun said, soon pausing. "Race to Kie's house.." He said, quickly; Soon, speeding down the sidewalk.

[Blake Manley]

I brushed off my clothes as Shun was racing down to get to Kie's House. How immature Shun can be... So then I looked at Scraggy with a smile! "Let's show Oak how fast we are, okay?" Scraggy jumped up and down, happily. "Scraggy! Scrag! Scrag!" So then I did a little stretching before I was ready to beat him and then I grabbed Scraggy and placed him onto the floor. "Shun didn't say you couldn't use your Pokemon in order to win. So that's what I'm going to do!" "Scrag! Scraggy!"

So then I pointed my figure at the direction where Kie's House is at. "Alright, Scraggy! Use Quick Attack! Scraggyyyy!!! And then I grabbed on to the end of Scraggy's pants and he rushed toward to Kie's House. "Oh Crap! I forgot!" While Scraggy was running I was hold on to his pants sliding across the ground. "Can you slow it down a little, Scraggy?" Sadly, Scraggy couldn't hear me so he continued going at high speed.

After 20 seconds, we passed Kie & Squirtle, making Squirtle hide in his Shell. Soon, I could see Kie's House straight ahead! "We're almost there, buddy!" But then Scraggy surprisingly didn't slow down. SCRAG! SCRAG! SCRAG! SCRAG! Scraggy was in fear that we were going to crash into the house. So I closed my eyes shut waiting for us to crash but then Scraggy was able to stop but lead me to fly in mid air and fall on Kie's house.

*sigh* Next time, I need to teach Scraggy how to stop... And then I was knocked out.

[Kie Ketchum]

Kie stood in his backyard as Pikachu scurried around, taking down projectiles Kie set up with his Thundershock, developing it so it can eventually become the famous mouse Pokemon's signature, Thunderbolt. "Pika..!" He said, as the wooden projectiles shot into small splinters. Kie then balled his fist up in excitement. "Great job, Pikachu.. Dad's going to be so proud of us..!" He said, as Pikachu breathed heavily as he gave Kie what seemed to be a Pikachu 'thumbs-up'.

Pikachu scurried over to Kie, soon, running up his back as he high-fived him; Sooning, taking a piece of healing Pokemon kibble from a baggie that was inside of his jacket soon feeding it to Pikachu. Pikachu loved it, seeing it was berry-flavored.

Soon walking to the back-door of the porch came his father and Pokemon Master, Ash Ketchum himself. "Kie..! Shun and Blake are here to get you for the Pokemon journey.." Ash said, smiling, as he held Kie's packed bag in his hand; Full of clothes, toiletries, food, water, and most importantly, five new PokeBalls and Ash's special UltraBall. "I packed an UltraBall inside; Use it when the time is right, my son.." Ash said, soon patting his head.

Misty, who is Kie's Mother, came to the door. She kissed his forehead, smiling. "We've watched you grow up into a great trainer, Kie.. Make me and your Father proud.. Okay? Make lots of friends and catch lots of Pokemon.." Misty said, fixing his clothes and Ash then fixed his hair, then, placing his old hat apon Kie's head. "You deserve it, son.."

The original Pikachu came into the room, soon, in Pokemon language, telling its baby Pikachu to have fun as well, soon, rubbing faces in a loving way. Pikachu then reperched on Kie's shoulder. He then opened the door, seeing Blake Manley and Shun Oak, his two rivals and bestfriends.

"You guys ready..?" Kie said, smiling.

[Shun Oak]

Shun then saw Blake crash into Kie's door, as he started running faster. "Dangit, Blake..!" Shun said soon making it over to his unconcious body and looking over it. Kie also stood on the same porch that Blake and Shun were on.

"You know Blake's usual when pushing it passed the limits goes wrong.." Shun said, shaking his head at his poor passed-out friend.

"Squirtle go inside of your side and come down apon Blake.. Maybe he will wake the hell up." Shun said, laughing.

Squirtle gave Shun a thumbs-up going into mid-air, a good ten to fifteen feet in the air, soon coming down apon Blake Manley, the blow was delivered to his stomach, which should make him wake up, side effects may include shortness of breath with waking up.

Squirtle soon jumped off of him, then, replacing himself on Shun's shoulder, waiting on Blake to wake up. "Now.. Kie Ketchum.." Shun said, laughing and he then looked him in the eyes.

"Good to see your about to also start your journey.. Now, I finally can beat you in a tournament or something one day.. I will get the most badges and go to every region; I will catch and evolve the best.. Better then you and your Dad's." Shun said, cockily, closing his fist tightly. Squirtle did the same thing in the background, adding on to what Shun said; Sending this message to Kie and Blake.

"I'm ready..! Are you guys is the question?"

[Blake Manley]

After Squirtle knocked me in the stomach, I started to lose my breath and went crazy. Then I stood up and knocked Shun in his skull. "IF YOU THOUGHT THAT HITTING ME IN THE STOMACH WAS A GOOD IDEA, YOU'RE MADLY MISTAKEN!" Then they all started to laugh at me. Then I dusted off my pants and Scraggy jumped on my shoulder.

"I'm definitely going to do my best to be the Greastest Pokemon Trainer ever and to save my family. I wish you all good luck, as well." Then Scraggy jumped happily. "Scrag! Scrag! Scraggy!"

And then I grabbed out a map out of my bag and scanned to see where is the nearest gym. "Alright! There's a Gym in Pewter City! That's where I'm going to win my 1st Gym Badge. Hope I could say the same to you! Ha.. Just Kidding. And then I shook their hands with a smile. I hope you guys have a safe journey!

[Kie Ketchum]

Kie shook Blakes hand as he then let go, he looks at his Pikachu witch was on his his should climbing up to his hat. " I will make you proud Mother, and Father, I will be back soon." A tear fell from Misty eye as as she looked at Kie, she slowly began to say. "Kie do not forget to catch alot of water Pokemon, Ok son?", "Yes mother" Kie re-plyed. Kie puts on the backpack that his father had gave to him, Kie knew if way to Pewter City due to Ask and him, always walked there for food, and to see old friends, Kie was going to catch 2 more pokemon and trian with them so he would have a chance at the Pewter Gym. "Well im off." Kie said walking away, into the forest. The forest led to Lavender Town, alot of water and fire Pokemon can be found there. Pikachu fell asleep on Kie's head as he keep walking, along the way Kie seen alot of grass and ground type Pokemon. "There it is Pikachu, Lavender Town..." Kie said with a smirk on his face. "Pikaaa-chuuu!" Pikachu yelled. Pikachu used thunder and it travled threw Kie's body cousing him to fall over, Pikachu was mad that Kie awakened him up. Kie slowly got up as he walked the rest of his way to Lavender Town.

"We are here." Kie said. Kie walked around the town, everyon was so happy takeing care of Pokemon., Kie was walking around more as he seen a pokemon walking around vary hurt almost not moveing anymore. "What is wrong with that Charmander.." Kie said running towards it. The Charmander looked back vary angry as it opened up it's mouth it let out a vary weak Flamethower, Kie moved out the way as he watched the Charmander fall down due to him being hurt so bad. "[color=GreenI got to get this Charminder to the nurse now..!

[/color]" Kie though to him self. Kie picked up the Charmander as he rushed to the Pokemon Center, Once Kie ran in Nurse Joe looked at the Charmander and said.. "Oh no, this is mad, this is the secound time he came in like this, let me see him." Nurse Joe said takeing him to the back. Kie waited in a chair for Nurse Joe to come out. [/center][/size]

[Shun Oak]

Seeing that everyone had split there seperate ways; Shun and Squirtle started towards the distant forest where they would catch more Pokemon. "Squirtle, seeing that water is strongly affective against rock and ground types; We must find another water Pokemon.. Something that can take Gym Leader Brock's Onix down.."

Squirtle soon put his head down in shame, feeling like he was too weak to battle Onix. Shun then looked at his friend, soon, picking him up. "We are going to train hard so you can achieve learning the water gun or bubblebeam, buddy.. Okay?" Shun said, giving him a thumbs-up.

Squirtle smiled soon cockily giving him a poke thumb-up back. Soon, they came to the end of the forest, seeing that a river stood before them. "Perfect spot to find some good Water types and to train you Squirtle.." Shun said, smiling. Squirtle soon jumped out of his arms, then, looking at the water.

Standing on the edge of the water, a lone Poliwag played near the water. Shun was amazed, soon removing his PokeDex to take a look at the creature's information: "POLIWAG, the Tadpole Pokemon.. Poliwag prefers swimming rather then walking on its newly grown legs.. Its skin is so thin that internal organs can be seen. The spirals on Poliwah's stomach can differ by the area it is in; It is said that the Equator is the reason of this." The Pokedex said, as Shun closed it.

He then looked at Squirtle; "You ready..?" He said, soon smiling.
