There's a little bit of cursing in this chapter...all censored, of course.
Chapter 1: My First Pokemon
The morning air filtered into Sam's window. Slowly, Sam awoke, yawning and groaning about the morning. Walking to the bathroom, he stepped on one of his brother's toys. This woke him quickly. "YEOOOOOW! Damn it, Jack! Put your stuff away!" Sam yelled. "Stop cursing!" His mother yelled back. Suddenly, the overpowering smell of eggs filled the hallway. "That doesn't make sense...mom never fixes eggs unless...no..." Sam said, walking back into his room. Checking his calender, today's date was circled and surrounded in stars. Within the many decorations, it said, "First Day of Pokemon Adventure!" "Well that's just great...son of a *****!" Sam screamed. "STOP CURSING!" his mother yelled again. "Shut the hell up! Don't you know what day it is?" Sam asked. "Yes. The first day of your adventure. Now stop cursing!" she yelled again. Finally, Sam made his way downstairs to his breakfast. Eggs and bacon. His favorite. He'd only had it a few times, though. His mother only fixed eggs and bacon when one of her 8 sons was leaving on his adventure. Sam was the 5th of 8 children. He was 13, at the time. "Now. I picked these up for you, hope they help!" his mother said, pulling out several items. The first was a few sets of new clothes. His favorite, red jacket, black t-shirt, blue jeans, and a pair of red shoes, underwear included. "And then this..." his mother added, pulling out a bright yellow backpack. "And finally this!" she said once more, this time pulling some items out of the backpack. Sam noticed these items as potions, super potions, full restores, full heals, and several others including repels. "Wow...thanks, Mom. I'll miss you, you too, Andy, Drew and Jack. I won't forget you guys!" Sam said. His 3 younger brothers were triplets. They would all be leaving on their journeys in a couple of years. "Now, you have to keep up with your brothers. You can do it, I know you can, Sam. Now go! Run into the morning sun. And don't forget, call and write! And go to Professor Birch's lab! Now bye!" his mother said. His 3 brothers were also saying bye. Wow, Sam thought, This is such a big change. I can't believe that it's actually happening. My 4 older brothers also must have felt this. Well, I can't let them down! I gotta get going!
Sam ran out the door, saying good bye one last time. He knew that he'd have to head straight to professor birch's lab. This was the day several new trainers would recieve their pokemon. Sam could tell he was running late. He had seen several of his friends with pokeballs. This made him speed up. Finally, he arrived. The lab was huge! As he walked inside, he heard someone say, "Ah! I was hoping you'd hurry up and arrive! Welcome!" "Hmm? Who're you?" Sam asked. "Ah! Sam! Its me, Professor Birch!" he said. "Oh! Professor Birch! I didn't see you!" Sam replied. "No problem at all. So...I think I know why you're here! Okay...just follow me to the back..." Professor Birch said, walking to the back of the lab. When they arrived in the back of the lab, Sam was even more impressed. There was a lot of equipment here. "Now. These are..." Professor Birch started. "Pokeballs? I know. I've been through this before. Which 3 have you got for me to choose from?" Sam asked. "Well, the Hoenn starters, other than this Torchic, which is reserved for someone, are all taken. So these are 3 pokemon I recieved from my good friend Professor Rowan. They are not Sinnoh region starters, so don't get all excited. There have been sightings of some, however...here on Hoenn. Anyway, these 3 are called Pachirisu, Shieldon and Cranidos. Please pick one!" Professor Birch said, throwing out the 3 pokemon. A squirrel came out of one. It seemed strong, but when Sam tried to pet it, it shocked him. No compatibility there. "Not that one..." Sam said. Next was a dinosaur looking pokemon. When he approached it, it tackled him. "Oww! Nope...not him...say! Where's the other one?" Sam asked. "Oh...he's right...oh my god!" Professor Birch said. The other pokemon was being attacked by the first two. "Return!" Professor Birch said, returning the first 2 pokemon. They came back. "Okay...here boy...OW!" Professor Birch said as the pokemon tackled him. "No! You...you're hurt, right? Calm down. I can feel you're scared. Just calm down...I'm a friend. I promise I won't hurt you." Sam said. The pokemon growled a bit, but eventually calmed down. Sam started petting it. "Wow! I never believed someone could tame the shieldon!" Professor Birch said, getting up. "Don! Shieldon shield!" Shieldon said sadly. "I think its apologizing to you. It looks really sorry. Please forgive it." Sam asked. "I do. Shieldon, I know its tough for you. That pokemon seems attatched to you, though." Professor Birch said.
"Yeah...I choose Shieldon as my first pokemon!" Sam said. "Great! Here you are!" Professor Birch said, handing Sam Shieldon's pokeball. "Great! Come on, Shieldon! Let's go!" Sam said, running out of the lab, when suddenly, Professor Birch said, "Wait! Take this and these, too!" He handed Sam five round balls and a metal box. "I know these are pokeballs, like the one Shieldon is in, but this other thing...what is it?" Sam asked. "Oh! This is a pokedex. It is handy when you find new pokemon, because you can find out all sorts of information. Its handy in and out of battle! Well, good luck on your adventure!" Professor Birch said. This time, Sam really did leave. As he was walking out the door, however, someone walked by. Sam bumped into them. "Oh! I'm so sorry. Let me help you up!" Sam said, putting out a hand. "Oh! Its alright. Thank you." a sweet voice said, and very soft skin touched Sam's hand. As they got up, Sam noticed something. The person in question was a very pretty girl. "Oh...nice...to...meet you. My name...my name is..." Sam said. He couldn't think straight. She was just too pretty. "Um...maybe I could remind you how to say this? My name's May. Nice to meet you!" May said. "I'm...I'm...Sam. My name is Sam." Sam said. "Don Shiel!" Shieldon said. "Right. And this is my pokemon, Sheildon." Sam said. "Nice to meet you all. Well, I need to go get a pokemon of my own. Wait for me outside. I'll be lonely on my trip to Oldale Town." May said. "O...okay." Sam said.
As he waited outside, he thought about how fast everything had changed. He felt different. He had met a beautiful girl, met a great first pokemon and just felt different. "Wow...everything feels different." Sam said. Suddenly, May came out. "Oh! There you are. Well...shall we get going?" May asked. "Y-yeah. Let's go." Sam said. And they walked out into the warm, noon sun.
