Chapter 1: Disturbing the Peace
Professor Oak sat on his chair, he took his lab coat off and hung it on the back of his wooden chair. His sister, Daisy passed by and offered Green a cup of tea. Green, kindly accepted. He sipped it and put it down. He turned on his computer and added a pack of sugar to his tea. A beep sounded as soon as the computer was on. A robotic voice said “One new email message”. Green clicked the envelope with the message next to it. Green picked up the cup, and dropped it.

“Maru!” A deep voice called. The voice belonged to a man in his mid-30s. He had dark brown hair with hints of red on it. He has dressed in a scrunched up shirt, a blue and black white striped belt, and beige pants. He leaned down to pick up a pair of polished black leather shoes. They looked very new, but surprising is very old.
“Yes Dad?” an annoyed voice called. Maru slid down the banister, his bottom a bit sore during the slide.
“Mr. Smith left you a letter, it’s on top of the TV.” Maru’s dad said. He tied his laces and picked up his briefcase. “I’ll be seeing in the tournament finals next year. Good Luck!”
Maru sighed.
“If I can make it…” He walked slowly towards the TV and picked up the letter. He ripped it up and read the letter inside.
“Maru, you have been selected to be one of the lucky trainers this year to start their Pokmon Adventure. Attached is an equipment list.
Best of Luck,
Mr. Smith.”
Mr. Smith was Maru’s class teacher back in the academy. He was a nice man. In his late 40s. He has full of jokes and gray hair. He has been working in the academy since the days it was built.
Maru scratched his light brown hair. He went back up the stairs and started packing. He decided to bring his skateboard on his journey and strapped it around his back. He jammed his equipment in his big hiking bag and started to change into his ‘skater’ clothes. He had a Red Cap with half a Pokball in white on the back of his hat. None of his caps had holes at the back. He threw on a white Quiksilver branded short sleeve t-shirt on him. He got a red shirt over it and baggy beige trousers. He put on his black and red shoes (they’re the ones that the Fire Red trainer has). Lifted his bag and put it on his back, and held his skateboard. He walked to the door and saw a small package. He unwrapped it and looked at the contents inside. Black fingerless gloves, a black wallet with red lining with a chain and a Black and red canvas belt. He put on the belt and gloves and hooked the end of the chain to the belt. He stuck his wallet in his pocket and took his platinum Gameboy Advance SP with him. He ran down the stairs and closed the door behind him.
It took Maru 15 minutes to get to the lab, with the big backpack. He found it hard to keep balance on the skateboard and decided to walk instead.
2 other people were there already. A boy and a girl. Maru recognized both of them. Sakura and Kage. Sakura was Maru and Kage’s love interest, but Sakura can’t decide. Back in the academy, Yamato and Maru were big rivals. They were both equally matched in everything.
Sakura had shoulder length pink hair tied with a headband in front. She wore a white spaghetti top with the Roxy logo on it. She had a pastel shade of pink skirt that came to her knees and pink sandals. Kage had obviously gelled his hair up. His silver hair shone in the sunlight. He had a black sweatshirt with SHADOW in silver letters. He had baggy black trousers and black shoes. Both of them have a big bag but left on a silver table. Maru did the same and 3 big bags rested on the table. Professor Oak walked out and pressed a button. The 3 bags turned into smaller backpacks, and it looked exactly the same as its original form. All the essentials are in your bag. Everything else is with me; you can access them using your Poknav, which I am about to give you now. Professor Oak walked towards a table with 3 Poknavs, 3 Pokgears, and 3 Pokdexes. He took them all, using his arms as extra support and walked towards the 3 new trainers.
“Here.”
Not hesitatingly Maru picked up his gear. He took a black Pokgear with red lining. Kage did the same. He got a Pokgear with silver lining. Sakura took the remains. She had a white Pokgear with pink lining. Maru clipped his Poknav on his belt, put his Pokdex in his back pocket, and slipped his Pokgear on his left land.
“Now I will hand out your trainer cards.” Professor Oak said. From his pocket, he drew 3 cards. 2 were blue and 1 was pink. He handed each of them a card. Obviously, Sakura got the pink one.
“And last but not least. The Pokmon.”
3 Pokballs popped out of a silver table. Each one had a symbol embedded on it. Maru recognized these as the trading card game elemental symbols. Without hesitating, He leaned over and picked up the one with a fire symbol on it. Charmander. Kage didn’t have much of an option and picked up Squirtle. Seeing as Charmander has weakness. Sakura, still having to pick last took the remaining Pokmon, Bulbasaur.
“And we’ll be giving out 5 Pokballs for you to start with. And also a Pokball holder for your belt. Maru took the Pokball holder and threaded it through his belt. He stuck the 6 Pokballs (including his Charmanders’) and put them onto his belt. They shrunk and were held tightly in place. Maru was guessing they had a piece of magnet on each slot.
“Your journey of a thousand miles begins with one step. Start now, I’m hoping to see you 3 in the Tournament next year.”
And so it began. The 3 trainers headed up route 1, each with their new Pokmon companion by their side.

“This is going to be a problem.” Green said to his sister.
“Team Rocket is now on the route of murdering…” Daisy murmured.
“And those 3 trainers are our only hope seeing as all the other trainers are on the cruise ship for the tournament.” Green said.
“The best of luck for those 3…” Daisy replied.
“May Mew protect them…” Green added.
