Chapter 1 ~ Heartbreak and Sadness
"Do you have everything you need?" I heard from down the stairs.
"I'm pretty sure but dose Ryan really have to come?" I complained to my mother was calling to me from down the stairs.
"Not the whole way, just until you reach New Bark Town. The he will meet up with his friends and begin his journey," Mom explained to me.
"Okay," I begrudged as I returned to packing my backpack.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Boys, be careful. If you need anything, call from your Pokegears," Mom explained to us.
"You've got it Mom," I hugged Mom as did my little brother.
The two of us set out from our home town of Eructeak City and in our sights was New Bark Town. Once there, Ryan would set out on his journey while I would travel alone. Why you may be asking? I have no friends. It's because of the fact that my father is a Team Rocket executive. My father left when I was too young to remember so he could help Team Rocket take over Johto, but they failed. At the time, he was still a grunt but his work paid of which made Giovanni notice him. He made my father an executive. How do I know all of this, he wrote to us every week before one day, he just stopped.
"How long is the walk from here to New Bark Town?" Ryan anxiously waited for the answer as we walked through the old city.
"Um… I'm not to sure, but we could take a train," I explained to him.
"But if we walked?" he wondered.
"A few days," I said walking in front of him.
"Train it is," Ryan spoke.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Are we there yet?" Ryan complained.
"We're only on Route 36. We've gone through a route," I told the upset boy.
"It feels like forever," he sadly spoke.
"I don't believe you," I smacked my palm on my forehead.
The two of us continued through Route 36 until we reached Violet City.
"We've made it to Violet City," I looked around the small, old city and spotted a large wooden tower.
I recognized it to be the Sprout Tower, the famous tower where monks trained to battle.
"What makes that tower so special," Ryan rudely asked.
"How stupid are you? It's the famous Sprout Tower where monks train," I explained to my little brother who was oblivious to the history of the tower.
"How could you not know about this tower," I asked him. "You didn't get taught this in school."
"I probably did, but didn't pay attention," he laughed.
"Idiot," I muddled under my breath.
I started walking towards it when Ryan stopped me.
"What are you doing?" Ryan questioned my choice to see the tower.
"Going to see Sprout Tower, why? Is that bad?" I wondered.
"They have wild Pokemon in there. What will happen if you run into one and you don't have a Pokemon," Ryan asked trying to be a no-it-all.
"I can't believe you're right," I replied as I kicked a rock.
"So we'll keep moving to New Bark Town now I guess," Ryan told me.
"We have no other alternative," I started walking with my brother behind me.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The train arrived at New Bark Town at 4:00.
"Finally," Ryan dropped to his knees.
"It only took us half the day to get here," I told the lazy boy.
"That's long to me," Ryan rebutted.
I placed my hand on my forehead and ran it down the front of my face in frustration. He needed to learn that he won't go far in his travels if he is this lazy.
"There's the lab," I pointed to the laboratory that stood close to the train station.
"Great, but do you know how many trainers will be beginning their journeys today?" Ryan wondered as he hoped there wouldn't be too many.
"10 and that's certain," I explained.
"How do you know this stuff?" Ryan questioned my knowledge.
"Unlike you, I actually read the letters from Professor Elm," I brought up his laziness.
"Shut Up," he mumbled.
The two of us walked towards the lab, our hopes set on getting the Pokemon we wanted.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Ah, Kyle and Ryan I assume," Professor Elm raised his hand in happiness.
The lab was filled with Professor Elm along with 8 other children, three boys and five girls.
Ryan and I walked to the line of children and stood still. I stood at the end of the line next to my brother. Beside Ryan was his friend James. His hair was a strawberry blonde and he had a long emo cut. His clothing was a green shirt that had an image of a black Pokeball on it. He also wore a pair of black jeans.
With him was Ryan's other friend Lukas. His hair was buzzed and blonde. His skin was tanned and he wore a blue sweater and cargo pants. He also wore a black hat that read unstoppable a crossed it.
Next to him was a girl with long black hair with bangs that covered her eyes. Her clothing was unusually baggy for a girl, her black sweater long and obviously to big for her and her baggy black track pants with white lines going down the sides of her legs.
Beside her was another girl. Her hair was black and her skin was tanned. She wore very tight clothing, a white t-shirt with slits cut down the back of it and denim short shorts.
At her side, a boy with tidy brown hair and his skin just as tanned as the girl beside him. He wore a dark red jacket and cargo shorts.
Along his side was another girl. Her hair was curly and messy which had the color brown blonde and bits of red. She wore a tan t-shirt and a white scarf with faded jeans.
A couple was standing beside that girl. The two were holding hands. They looked familiar and then I remembered them. They were Zoë and Trenton, a couple from the rich part of Eructeak City. Zoë had brown and blonde hair that was long and straight. She wore a lime green sweater and blue jeans.
Trenton had dirty blonde hair that has curly at the edges of his hair. He wore a black sweater that had images of paint splatters on it of every colour.
"Now that everyone is here, it's time to choose your first Pokemon," Professor Elm made us all rowdy with that news. "I will pull a name out of a hat and you may choose."
Professor Elm grabbed a hat from behind him that was filled with 10 names. He stuck his hand inside and ruffled the papers roughly before pulling a name out.
"Dakota," he read the piece of paper.
"Yes!" the boy with the red jacket snapped in happiness.
Dakota stepped towards a table that was lined with Pokeballs. He took a bit to choose because he didn't want to make the wrong choice. He grabbed a ball and returned to the line.
"Next, Ryan," Professor Elm spoke.
Ryan made a cha ching motion before walking over a grabbing the first ball he saw.
Lack of patience as usual, I thought.
"Zoë."
Zoë was holding Trenton's hand at the time. She released it and walked over to the table. She paused for a moment, looking at each ball carefully before grabbing one.
"Lena."
The baggy clothed girl approached the table. Her decision was brief and she grabbed a ball only seconds after she got up there.
"James."
Ryan's friend just walked up, grabbed a ball and returned to the line.
"Nichole."
Nichole went to walk up, but she tripped over her own footing. Dakota stood beside her and he softly laughed at her stumble. You could tell they had feelings for each other, but they looked as though they weren't together.
"Trenton."
Trenton walked up and paused at the remaining Pokeballs. He took the longest to choose. But I could understand why. It was an important decision and screwing it up could make it a difficult journey. He finally selected a ball and returned to his girlfriends side.
"Shari."
The messy haired girl grabbed the closets ball to her and returned to the line. You could tell she just wanted to leave.
"Lukas."
Lukas did the last ball remaining on the table. 10 were supposed to begin their journeys, but only nine would. There was no more Pokemon remaining to choose.
"Now move out trainers, but you, you stay here for a second," Professor Elm pointed to me.
As the trainers left, Trenton laughed at my misfortune because our rivalry was based on watching each other fail. He always won at everything, including getting Zoë's love. Zoë, Trenton and I were in a love triangle. I loved Zoë as did Trenton so Zoë was forced to choose. Her parents were the deciding factor as she chose Trenton because he had a lot of money like her family when mine was poor.
"You wanted to see me Professor?" I questioned him making me stay behind.
I just wanted to go home and wait for next year, the year I would actually get to start.
"I wanted to apologize for you not receiving a Pokemon. I feel truly awful," he expressed his sorrows to me.
"You think you can say sorry and think everything will be okay? I had to lug my brother here and listen to him whine about how the trip was to long. The only thing getting me through it all was the fact that I would be getting a Pokemon. That would have been the ultimate pay off, but I guess that isn't going to happen," I told off the Professor.
"I'm sorry, there's nothing I can…" he said as I wouldn't let him finish.
"No, you're not sorry, I'm out of here," I interrupted him before storming out of the lab.
I walked outside and made my way to the train station when I heard the voice that made me cringe.
"Hey Kyle, want to battle. Oh wait, you didn't get a Pokemon," Trenton taunted me as I walked away to the train station, trying to ignore them all.
"What's wrong Kyle, going to cry," he continued.
"Trenton stop, you're being mean," Zoë spoke with her sweet voice that when I heard it, made this horrible time a bit better.
"Whatever. See you next year," Trenton finished with a taunt that broke me.
I turned around and ran in his direction. He heard the sound of my feet and turned around. He didn't turn fast enough because when he did, I had already swung my punch. I gave him a swift punch that struck his nose, making bleed him out uncontrollably.
"I'll get you Kyle," he said as he ran off.
"I'll be waiting," I started taunting him as I watched him run off while Zoë gave chase.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The train ride to Violet City was long and upsetting. The fact I would be traveling home empty handed was heart breaking. I was supposed to be the prodigy of the poor side of town. The poor side of Eructeak had nothing to be proud of, but everyone had faith that I would become the Silver Conference Champion. Unfortunately, that wasn't going to happen.
We made it to Violet City, were I got off the train and called my mother.
"Mom," I said to her.
"Kyle, how are you. Is you're Pokemon cute?" she asked as she didn't know I hadn't received a Pokemon.
"Professor Elm ran out of Pokemon Mom, I'm coming home," I explained to her as I tried fighting back the tears.
"Honey I'm so sorry, but I don't want you to give up. I heard they have a trainer school in Violet City. You can learn there while you stay in the Pokemon Centre. You can learn about capturing your own Pokemon, then do it and start your journey," Mom told me.
"Are you sure?" I questioned her.
"I bought you your trainer card and all the equipment you needed. We had barely any money to do that and I don't want it to be wasted," Mom sternly spoke to me with her attempt a tough love.
"You can stop with the tough love Mom, I'll stay," I agreed with her idea.
"Okay honey, good luck," she said.
"Bye Mom," I ended the call.
