    This is My second attempt at a fic. Hope you enjoy it...


    Chapter 1
    The First Day of the Rest of Your Life

    ?Happy Birthday to you. Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday dear Seth. Happy birthday to you!? Everyone was gathered in a circle around Seth?s kitchen table, hand in hand, singing to him. Seth sat in the middle, in front of a bit table with an even bigger cake on it. He had a big smile on his face as he staired down at the gigantic cake. It was Seth?s thirteenth birthday marking his thirteenth year of living and also marking his thirteenth year of being confined to the small, serine place, known as Malik Town. Seth sat at the table dressed in nothing but his birthday suit. No he wasn?t naked, but it was literally a suit that his mother made him just for this occasion. Seth preferred the black jeans, black shirt covered with a blue vest, and blue hat that he usually wore, but for his birthday he was willing to take the risk of being seen wearing this poorly made suit. ?Alright sweetie time to open you?re presents.? His mother said. She was a tall slim woman with brown hair and beautiful smile.

    ?Alright then?I?ll open this one first.? He said with anticipation, ?It?s from Aunt Pat.? Seth tore through the layers upon layers of gift wrap until he came upon a tiny box. He lifted the top off of the small box to find a Pokegear inside.

    ?Thank you Aunt Pat.? He said with a smile. What he really had been hoping for was a Pokemon. Being thirteen, he was way past the designated age to begin his Pokemon journey which is all he really wanted for his birthday, but getting the Pokegear hinted that it might actually happen this time. He continued to open his presents and through the course of the evening he received, a Pair of sox from his uncle, another Pokemon Game from his cousin, a new bed from his Grandmother, and some Pokemon poster, which he already had too many of, from his second cousin. Just when Seth began to give up hope his mother proceeded to make and announcement.

    ?Now I?ve decided to save the best for last.? She said maintaining the smile on her face. She walked over to the closet, just down the hallway and everyone followed. ?And here it is!? She exclaimed opening the door and pulling out a Small disk. It was a new Storage program for Seth?s Computer.

    ?Thank you so much mom!? He exclaimed giving her a gigantic hug. In truth Seth was pretty disappointed that he didn?t get a Pokemon, but he didn?t let it show. He continued to have a good time not letting his disappointment get in the way.

    After everyone had left and the party was over, Seth went up into his room, turned on the TV and sat on his bed. A familiar advertisement was showing and Seth really wasn?t in the mood for it.

    ?CALLING ALL TRAINERS, CALLING ALL TRAINERS!? Yelled the voice on the television, ?Come one, come all and get you?re first Pokemon here at Professor Lock?s lab in Malik Town. Choose from three very different types of Pokemon.? A green lizard-looking Pokemon with roots sprouting out of its back showed up on the screen. ?The first is Beyroot, focused and loyal this Pokemon will never give up a fight.? Then a small red dragon-like Pokemon with medium-sized wings appeared on the screen. ?Next we have Petigon, the Pokemon with a fiery personality and an Ember attack that?s just as hot. Then a small blue fish came onto the screen. It stood on its hind legs and had gills on the side of its neck. ?And last but not least it?s Gillfish; this Pokemon has both gills and lungs enabling it to breathe both in and out of water. One of these three Pokemon could be you?re. All you have to do is visit Professor Locke?s lab in Malik Town. So come on down and??

    Seth began to get irritated with the program and shut the TV off. He ran his hands through his thick brown hair and sighed. Just then a small black and gray Poochyenna ran in and jumped on his lap.

    ?Oh, hey Poochy.? He said rubbing its head the Poochyenna began to lick his face frantically and bark happily. ?You sure do know when I need cheering up don?t you Poochy.? Seth said, ?Well, it?s not that I didn?t like the presents that everyone gave me, but?its still just pretend ya know? I want my own Pokemon.? Poochy barked, cutting him off. ?Oh sorry Poochy, I?ve have got you, but you know what I mean. I wanna go on a Pokemon journey; I wanna get out of this town. I feel so confined here. It?s the same old boring thing everyday. Nothing ever changes. I watch different kids way younger than me show up here to receive their first Pokemon for their journeys and that?s all I can ever do, watch. Everyone is moving and I?m standing still. Ya know what I mean Poochy?? Poochy just barked loudly. ?Yea I knew you?d understand.? Seth said rubbing its head, ?Thanks for listening Pal.?

    ?He?s not the only one who was listening.? Said a female voice coming from outside his door. The door swung open and his mother stood in the doorway.

    ?You heard all that?? Seth asked sounding kind of embarrassed.

    ?Seth, I know that you want to go on you?re journey so bad, but it?s just too dangerous.? She said walking over and sitting beside him, ?When you?re out there I can?t keep and eye on you, anything could happen. I know you?re disappointed, but I was watching the news the other day and some little eleven year old boy was killed and all of his Pokemon were stolen. And in another case a little girl got raped and her Pokemon were also stolen. There are so many things that could happen I?I just?don?t want anything to happen to you.?

    ?So you?d rather I?d stay here and die of boredom?? Seth asked.

    ?You know that?s not the case, but I just don?t think that you?re ready.? His mother replied.

    ?Mom I?m old enough to make my own decisions ok.? Seth said, ?I know what I want to do and that?s to get out and see the world. I wanna be a Pokemon Master like Shane.? Seth?s mother looked away and a look of sadness overcame his face.

    ?Shane is a different case, Seth.? His mother said as her voice began to waver.

    ?Yea, he got just as sick of this place as I did; only he ran away.? Seth replied, ?Professor Locke says I have great potential. Even Uncle Paul said I have the brains in the family; you seem to be the only one who doesn?t believe in me.?

    ?Seth I do believe in you, but you?re not going on any journey and that?s final.? She said trying to end the conversation

    ?But mom?? Seth exclaimed. ?End of conversation!? His mother exclaimed louder and she walked out of the room. Seth mumbled under his breath and plopped down on his bed. He lay there for a minute, but he soon grew angry and decided to go out anyway. He opened his closet and grabbed his black shirt and blue vest. He put them on along with his black pants and then he opened his drawer and grabbed his dark and light blue bandanna. He folded it until it looked similar to a headband and he tied it on his forehead with his dark brown hair hanging over it. He then put on his shoes walked over to his window. Poochy walked up to his leg and began to whimper.

    ?Don?t worry Poochy I?ll be back.? He said, ?Besides you get the room all to yourself tonight. You know where the food is right?? Poochy barked loudly in response. ?Good boy.? He said petting its head, ?Now don?t tell mom ok?? Poochy barked again. ?I knew I could count on you. See ya when I get back.?

    Seth climbed down the windowsill and plopped down in the grass. He got up whipping the grass off of his butt and began to walk away from the house. He walked up the dirt path until he came to the coast at the top of his small village. He looked off into the distance and he smiled.

    ?Hoenn is up there.? He said to himself then he looked up to the stars, ?But I?ll be lucky if I ever get out of this stupid town.? There was a plus side to his small town. Being that he lived so far away from the city he could see the stars very clearly. As the moon lit up the heavens the stars seemed to radiate across the night sky. ?Well sitting here and moping about it won?t change anything.? He said to himself, ?It?s not like adventure and excitement is going to fall right into my lap.? Just then out of nowhere a small, light-brown Pokemon fell from the sky and into his lap. ?Whoa, what the?it?s a Pokemon.? He said in amazement, ?What are the odds of that?? The Pokemon was battered and bruised beyond belief, but it was still breathing. ?Wow you got hurt pretty bad didn?t you fella?? Seth asked rhetorically. He then heard the voices of strange men approaching him so he ran and hid in some nearby shrubbery. He peered out of an opening in the bush and observed. There was a man wearing a black and white striped shirt, blue pants and a blue bandana with a symbol on it.

    ?Team Aqua!? He exclaimed, ?I thought that they only ran operations in Hoenn. Why are they here?? The grunt seemed as it he was looking for something. Just then out of nowhere four men dressed in red suits with red caps stepped to the Aqua grunt.

    ?So I take it you?re looking for the catalyst am I right?? The Magma member said. He seemed to be a higher rank than the others concidering his cloths.

    ?Team Magma?s here too!? Seth exclaimed to himself, ?Something?s definitely not right.?

    ?Get out of here you?re work is done.? The Admin said, ?Unless you want us to force you.? ?Rrrrrr, whatever.? The Aqua grunt said, ?Even if you do find it we?ll just take it from you anyway.? He then proceeded to walk away. The Magma admin turned and looked to the grunts. ?Ok men, I don?t care how long it takes, I don?t care what you have to do, but find that Pokemon or I?ll personally see to it that each and every one of you is burned alive!? The men nodded and began to spread out across the village.

    ?Uh, oh!? Seth exclaimed, ?I?m willing to bet that their looking for this Pokemon.? He looked down at the injured Pokemon. ?It?s hurt pretty badly. Maybe professor Locke will know what to do.? He covered the Pokemon in his arms and ran to all the way to the southern most part of the village, ducking and dodging the Magma members as he passed, until he finally came to the hill where Professor Locke?s lab was situated. He ran up to the giant door and pushed a button on the monitor that was placed to the right of the door. The monitor turned on and the face of a young woman, about in her mid to late twenties. She had brown hair and classes that magnified her already beautiful green eyes.

    ?Who is it?? She asked looking around as if she were tired.

    ?Professor Locke it?s me! Please open the door, hurry!? Seth exclaimed. The monitor turned off and soon the front door opened and the professor was standing there in her white lab coat.

    ?Seth it?s mid-night what are you still doing up?? She asked as soon as she laid eyes on him.

    ?I should be asking you the same thing.? He responded, ?Please professor I need you?re help.? She looked down to see the injured Pokemon in his arms.

    ?Oh, my goodness what happened!? She exclaimed.

    ?I?ll tell you once we get inside.? Seth replied. She opened the door and let him in. She escorted him all the way into the back room where Seth proceeded to explain everything. He told her everything about his party, his discussion with his mother, the Pokemon incident, and about Team Magma raiding the village looking for it.

    ?And you brought it here!? Professor Locke exclaimed.

    ?I didn?t know where else to go.? Seth replied, ?My mother wouldn?t know what to do either. This all happened so suddenly and I?m a little confused. I don?t even know what this Pokemon is.?

    ?Well that?s a Tyrogue.? The professor stated.

    ?A Tyrogue?? Seth asked.

    ?But Tyrogue are only native to the Johto region.? She said.

    ?So what one doing here?? Seth asked.

    ?Well judging from these bruises and burns it has I?d say that it?s been beaten and burned pretty badly in the past. But that doesn?t explain why Team Magma would want it.?

    ?Well I did hear one of them say something about a catalyst.? Seth stated.

    ?A catalyst hu?? She asked, ?Well we should at least heal the poor thing.? Professor Locke picked up the Tyrogue and put it onto some sort of machine. She walked to the other side and pressed a button. The machine began to glow and soon so did the Tyrogue. After about five minutes they heard a beeping sound and the machine stopped. The Pokemon?s eyes opened and it looked around.

    ?Hey Tyrogue, I?m Seth.? He said with a smile. The Pokemon didn?t respond, it just sprung up and darted out of the window. Seth and the professor looked out and saw that there was a giant cloud of smoke coming from the upper part of the village.

    ?Oh My!? Professor Locke exclaimed.

    ?No, My house!? Seth yelled. He jumped out of the window and began to run north after the Tyrogue. The professor grabbed a poke? ball off of her desk and slowly claimed out of the window, almost falling, and chanced after Seth.

    Seth and Tyrogue came to the north part of the village to see that it covered in a smoldering flame. ?No?No!? Seth exclaimed.

    ?So I see that you?ve brought the catalyst back to us.? Said a voice coming from behind him. He and Tyrogue turned to see the admin standing beside his Magmar. The Tyrogue began to get enraged. It seemed as if it knew him. ?How kind. Just hand the catalyst over and no harm will come to you.? The admin said.

    ?No harm? You and your partners already burned down half of my village you basted!? Seth yelled.

    ?Yes we did and if you don?t wish to be burned at the stake yourself I suggest that you hand over that Pokemon!? The admin exclaimed.

    ?There?s no way that you?re getting you?re grimy hands on this Tyrogue!? Seth exclaimed, ?I don?t know what you?re planning on doing with it, but it can?t be good.? The Tyrogue was surprised at how much Seth cared for it even though they had just met. ?Now come on Tyrogue let?s take this guy out together.? Seth said with a smile. The Tyrogue hesitated. It normally preferred to work alone, but it had fought that Magmar once before and it knew how powerful it could be. Tyrogue began to think about Seth?s proposition.

    ?I see you?ve gotten rid of those unsightly bruises that Magmar left you Tyrogue.? The admin said trying to get under its skin.

    ?Tyrogue let?s shut this guy up for good use?um?? Seth was at a loss for words. He didn?t know any of Tyrogue?s attacks. He didn?t even know what a Tyrogue was before tonight. Before he could think of anything he heard the admin tell his Magmar to go in for a Fire Punch. Magmar ran directly at Tyrogue, but Tyrogue dodged and went in for a punch it its own. It?s hand began to glow and Tyrogue punched Magmar in the stomach with a feriouse blow.

    ?Oh, that?s Mega Punch!? Seth exclaimed. Magmar didn?t budge. Tyrogue?s hand was burned by Magmar?s flame covered body and it backed away holding its arm. Magmar used another fire punch and knocked Tyrogue into the air with its flaming fist. ?Tyrogue!? Seth yelled. Tyrogue fell to the ground in agony. It struggled to its feet and stood on wobbly legs. Magmar was obviously much more powerful than Tyrogue and Seth wasn?t a very experienced trainer.

    ?This is too easy? The admin said with a smirk, ?Magmar finish it with a fire punch, but don?t kill it. Remember we need the catalyst alive.? A flame engulfed Magmar?s entire arm as it rushed in to finish off the weary Tyrogue. Doing the only thing that he felt he could Seth dived in and tackled out of the way Tyrogue, avoiding further damage to the already beaten Pokemon. The Magmar turned and began to run at them again. Seth rolled over and created a human shield for the injured Pokemon, against its will. Just as Magmar was about to hit Seth in the back, a giant stream of water shot from its left and knocked it across the battle field.

    The Admin looked to see the professor standing beside her Pokemon. It was a blue, fish-type Pokemon that stood on its hind legs. It looked very familiar to Seth and then he remembered where he had seen it before.

    ?That?s a Gillfish, but it?s a lot bigger.? He said

    ?This is Gillfish?s evolved form Seth.? The professor said, ?Its name is Gillium. Don?t worry Seth I?ll take it from here.? She then looked over to the admin. ?Get out of here now or I?ll do more than just soak you?re Magmar.? She said in a determined voice.

    ?Oh I like a feisty woman.? The admin said with a smile, ?Magmar get that Pokemon!? Magmar got up and ran at Gillium. It just stood there awaiting the right moment to strike. Once Magmar got within a foot the professor ordered Gillium to use a Water Gun attack. It opened its mouth and a large stream of water blasted Magmar back into the ocean.? It struggled to survive, but soon it sunk underwater. With its flame out it would surely die within a matter of seconds.

    ?Gillium save Magmar!? The professor yelled. Gillium dived into the water and came up with the nearly dead Pokemon. It lay on the ground beside the professor and she looked to the Admin. I knew that you Magma?s were cruel, but leaving your own Pokemon to die?that?s just inhuman!?

    Oh please.? The Admin said, ?A Pokemon that can?t battle is useless. Remember that. And as for you little boy?we?ll be seeing a lot more of each other. See ya.? Just then a red helicopter descended over their heads and picked him up. ?It doesn?t matter where you go I will find you!? He yelled as the chopper flew off into the distance of the cool night sky.

    Their first priority was to put the fire out in the village. The Professor used her Pokemon to take care of that without a problem, but as a result a lot of people were left homeless. Luckily only part of Seth?s house was burned, but unlucky for him was that his mother was now angry at him for sneaking out and she was more worried about him now than ever. He figured that he could just forget ever being able to go on a Pokemon journey let alone keep the Tyrogue. After setting the villagers straight, or as straight as they were going to get, Seth, his mother and the professor traveled back to her lab and sat to have a talk. The professor never liked to waist words so she just came right out and said what was on her mind.

    ?I think you should let Seth go on his Pokemon journey.? She said. The room was silent. Seth was happy that Professor Locke thought that way, but he knew what his mother would say so he didn?t even get his hopes up, but what his mother said next both shocked and scared him.

    ?I totally agree.? She responded. ?What!?? Both Seth and the professor exclaimed simultaneously.

    ?Seth,? His mother said turning to him, ?I did listen to what you had to say earlier tonight and I think that you are absolutely right. You are old enough to make your own decisions and if you want to become a Pokemon master and follow in you?re brother?s footsteps then I?m behind you one-hundred and ten percent. After seeing how you handled yourself tonight, how you acted so selflessly toward your Pokemon shows that you have all that it takes to be the best. So go out there and get show them what you?ve got son.? Seth was speechless. He didn?t know what to say except, ?I love you mom.?

    ?I love you too sweetie.? She said, hugging him.

    ?So Tyrogue what do you say?? He asked, ?Do ya wanna come on a Pokemon Journey with me??

    Tyrogue didn?t respond, it just folded its arms and turned its back on him. The room was silent once again. ?Oh?I see.? Seth said in a disappointed voice, but Tyrogue had grown fond of Seth in the past night and he was happy to travel with him. Tyrogue held its hand out and they shook hands.

    Seth made sure to get a good night sleep that night because he had a big day ahead of him tomorrow. He awoke and planned to leave at about noon, but didn?t wake until one. He packed his extra food and cloths and grabbed Pokegear then he headed out.

    ?Hey Poochy, I need you to watch over mom while I?m gone ok.? She said rubbing it on the head. It barked loudly and licked him in the face. ?I always could count on you Poochy.? Seth said with a smile. He stood too see his mother and the professor standing in front of him also smiling.

    ?Well this is it.? He said.

    ?I know and I want you to know that I believe in you.? His mother said, ?I programmed my number into you?re Pokegear and I also put in the fire department, officer Jenny, the health department, the Pokemon Center, and?well?that?s it. Take care honey.?

    ?I put my number in there too just in case you ever need it.? Professor Locke said, ?Oh and I almost forgot.? She reached into her lab coat and pulled out a small red machine. As soon as Seth saw it he knew exactly what it was.

    ?Wow a Pokedex!? He exclaimed, ?My very own Poke?dex! This is so cool!?

    ?You earned it Seth. Good luck.? The professor said.

    ?Well I guess I?m off then.? Seth said as he turned and began to walk away, ?And don?t worry Tyrogue and I will make you proud. Good luck rebuilding the town. I?ll miss you!? He walked waving goodbye to his mother and the professor for what seemed like and hour. He smiled as he walked away saying good bye to his mother, saying goodbye to his old village, saying goodbye to his old life as he begins the first day of the rest of his life.

    To be continued?

    So what did you think?

    PS sorry about the double post. The chapter was too long and I couldn't post it all at once. I'll make it shorter next time.
