The Quest Begins
One hot summer morning at 6:30 am, a young 12 year old was tossing and turning in his little twin-sized bed. The young boy was named Alex. This day Alex felt like the happiest boy in the world. Today this young boy would embark a journey unlike others. He would start his journey to become a Pokémon Master.
8 am in the morning. That same day.
"Mom can you pass me the pancakes?" asked Alex.
His mom passed him the pancakes and he quickly gobbled everything on his plate up.
Today Alex was supposed to go help the Professor with field watching. The eager boy finished everything that was on his plate and rushed out the door.
Alex was outside in his little town called Littleroot Town. He rushed up on route 101 where Professor Birch said he would be waiting for him. Alex became so eager of this news when Professor Birch said he would be taking his Pokémon for protection. Alex thought if he showed the Professor that Pokémon loved him the Pokémon Expert would give him a Pokémon.
Alex continued up route 101 and he heard screaming for help. "HELP ME!!!" Alex hears this and quickly runs to see what is happening and who is in trouble. He turns around looking for someone in this grassy area and sees the Professor on top of a tree.
"Professor!" screams Alex.
"Oh Alex, am I glad to see you. Your just in time to save me from the Pokémon." replies the Professor.
Alex looks down at the tree and sees a Bagon, Whismur, Makuhita, and Electrike all trying to reach up and hit the Professor. Alex sees the Bagon run at least 20 feet away from the tree and run quickly back and charge the tree with its head.
BAMM!!!!! The tree moved tilted to towards the opposite direction that Bagon head bashed it. The tree then tilted back.
"Alex you have to save me. If Bagon manages to head bash this tree one more time I'm going to fall down and get assaulted by this Makuhita and shocked by Electrike." cried the Professor with his eyes closed scared of Bagon head bashing the tree one more time.
Alex looks up to the Professor and nods. He looks down to see Bagon getting its grip from the head bash. If it had been a little bit older it could have knocked down the tree in 1 hit. Bagon stands up and starts walking 20 feet away again. Alex has to act fast to save the Professor. He runs towards the Professor and Pokémon.
"Bagon!!!!!!!" yelled Alex. "Come over here and attack me. Leave the Professor alone!" Alex starts running to hills that are over the long green field. He turns back only to see one mean angry Bagon getting ready to knock him down. Alex felt he was being chased by a Rhino.
Alex runs all over the green grassy field hoping he gave the Professor time to escape without being shocked or beat up. The Bagon always kept at least 5 feet away from Alex. Then coming up in Alex's direction was a huge hill. Alex knew he would have to run his fastest up this slope then run back down to go to the Professor.
While running up the slope Alex felt Bagon at least 3 feet away now. He didn't dare to turn back because he would be attacked and he wouldn't want that. Alex slowly went up the slope and he almost got to the top of it. He realized that this slope didn't have another side because the other side was a ledge that can make you fall down into a huge lake with dangerous water Pokémon like Gyarados.
Alex got to the top and then he quickly gave a sharp turn because the top of the slope was a very narrow path and he could fall down into the lake. As he gave the turn he saw Bagon very close behind him slip, and fall off the ledge! Alex runs to get Bagon and luckily Bagon was holding on to a branch.
"Bagon give me your hand, and I'll pull you up." commanded Alex.
The little blue Pokémon holds onto the branch with one hand and uses the other hand to try to get Alex's hand. Bagon's hand is too short so he couldn't reach Alex's hand.
"Let me think of a way to pull you up. Just hang on tight." Alex said. He thinks of how he can get Bagon up to safety and he thinks of using his shirt to pull him up. He takes off his shirt and has an undershirt, so he throws his shirt to Bagon who grabs on to it. Weighing about 92 lbs this gives Alex difficulty. He uses one sleeve and ties it around him and pulls Bagon up.
He pulls him up and he falls down, and Bagon lands up on Alex.
"Bagon-Ba." said Bagon. Then Bagon rubs his face towards Alex's chest and closes his eyes and shakes.
Bagon was afraid and trusts Alex and goes with him. Alex stands up and starts walking down the slope. Bagon starts walking next to Alex and rubs his head on Alex's thigh.
Alex and Bagon walk back to the Professor to see if he managed to get down from the tree. When Alex gets back he sees a boy about his age with the Professor.
Alex runs to the Professor and Bagon chases Alex.
"Hi Professor, I have lots to tell you about what happened. Who is that boy?" asked Alex.
"Boy??! What nerve you have little boy to call me a boy. I do have a name you know. My name is Harrison. And yours is?" asked the arrogant boy.
"Alex. Glad to meet you." Alex stuck his hand out to shake the boy's hand and the boy shook his hand.
"Well, Alex, Harrison here saved me when you left after being chased by Bagon. He is starting his own Pokémon journey today. " explained the Professor.
"Oh Professor I have to tell you what happened," said Alex.
After explaining.
"And now I think Bagon likes me Professor," explained Alex.
"Well Alex, it certainly looks at you in a good way. I think it wants you to be its trainer. You saved its life so I think it wants to be with you forever." replied the Professor.
Alex became so happy and excited that he looked down at the blue creature and asked "Bagon do you really want me to be your trainer?"
Bagon nodded and said "Ba-bagon!"
Professor Birch then hands Alex a Poké Ball, who receives it happily and throws it at Bagon. The blue Pokémon shrinks and goes inside the Poké Ball. The little red ball shakes once…twice…three times and stops. Bagon is officially Alex's.
