This is chapter 1
Orion arose from his slumber, he had only managed three hours sleep last night for two reasons, 1. his bed was extremely uncomfortable and 2. Today was the day he would receive his pokecrystal containing his first pokemon.
He jumped down from his bunk bed and rubbed his bright blue eyes, he ran his fingers through his thick brown mop of hair and yawned so loud he awoke his roommate Lee.
Lee was a tall boy at least three inches taller than Orion but not the brightest pick of the lot, no-one really knew how Lee became one of the chosen few.
They were picked for their special skills, Orion was a born leader, intelligent and a fast thinker, Lee was just tall.
Orion was so excited he was practically bouncing up and down on the spot. " Class starts in half an hour! I can't wait," he exclaimed.
From the shelf Orion grabbed a bowl of cereal and started to munch away at it, each mouthful he got more excited till he just couldn't hold it in. He shot down the hallway like a rocket into an almost empty classroom. Sat in the front row were the two other chosen children, Marcus and Kane.
Orion grabbed a chair up by the front and Lee followed along at a slugs pace.
The teacher counted them then began the lesson. " Today, children, you will receive your pokecrystal for summoning your partner pokemon. But first you must learn how to summon them." said the old man in a rough low voice. He lifted is crystal high above his head, it started to glow a lime green. He shouted "Pokecrystal activate!" A light burst from the crystal lighting up the whole room, it focused on a point in front of the teacher, a figure started to form and it grew until it started to become clearer.
It was a meganium! The large pokemon stood there triumphantly, its flower wafted backwards in an almost enchanting way. The pupils stared , the meganium cried out and they all jumped out of their skins.
"Don't worry, he won't hurt you" said the teacher in a slow, calm voice.
The teacher giggled then showed them a secret door behind his desk.
He ushered them into it, Orion wasnt sure but he went in anyway.
It was amazing, Orion Couldn't believe his eyes, an entire cavern filled with green glowing crystals all twinkling in the small light they were getting through two tiny windows.
"Pick one" insisted the teacher with a smile. "But sir!" replied Marcus, "how do we know what pokemon are in what crystals?". The teacher raised his wand and a bright white light shone onto the crystals they shimmered beautifully, but they each showed an image of the pokemon kept inside.
They spread out checking each crystal till they found one they wanted, Marcus chose Paras and Kane chose Bulbasaur whereas Lee and Orion couldn't decide. Lee did eenie, meenie, minee mo and got a bellsprout.
Orion however had spotted the one he wanted, he climbed past the sharp crystals and ducked under a large pillar till he got to a tiny crystal, this one shone a slightly lighter green, almost as if it were calling Orion.
He picked it up, raised it above his head and shouted "Pokecrystal activate".
A small pokemon with a leaf coming out of its head appeared in front of him. It muttered "Chiko chiko". Orion smiled he had always wanted a chikorita for its cuteness and amazing battling skill. The teacher gave them all a dull crystal and told them that it could be used to absorb a pokemon from a larger crystal.
Then he sent them back to their quarters to await further instruction. Orion almost skipped his way back to his bunk cherishing his crystal now glowing as if chikorita was happy too.
