Hey guys! Well, I asked about this in the Writers Lounge, but I got no replies, so I wrote it up anyway. This is an alternate universe of the current Pokeverse, and I hope you enjoy!
CHAPTER 1: THE SQUIRTLE
Beep! Beep! Beep!
The boy yawned, and turned around in his small bed. His hand reached out, feeling around on his desktop. His hand brushed a Bulbasaur figure off the desk, and his book, entitled Hydro Pump: The Guide to Kanto's Water Pokemon. His hand finally reached his Snorlax alarm clock, and his finger pressed down on his head. The beeping stopped, and his hand fell down to his side.
"Aah…." He sighed, turning over again, appreciating the quiet.
"LUKAS! IT'S EIGHT O CLOCK! GET UP NOW!" His mother shouted from downstairs. He sighed, and opened his eyes.
Meanwhile, across the road, a girl and her mother were sitting at the breakfast table. A small Clefairy had a bowl of berries, and was eating them at the girls feet.
"Are you sure you're not going to go on the trip, Dawn?" The mother asked, as her daughter swallowed a slice of toast.
"Nah. I prefer to stay at home with Clea," Dawn replied, grabbing the Clefairy and placing her on her lap.
"Are you sure? I thought you wanted a Jigglypuff?" Her mother asked, pouring some orange juice from a jug in the middle of the table.
"I'm sure, besides, I can get a Jigglypuff when we visit Cerulean City next month, to stock up on berries for Clea. Anyway, adventure isn't really my thing, mum," Dawn replied, putting Clea up on a stool, and standing up.
"I'm going to get dressed now, Mum, me and Clea are picking for berries in the grass patch today," the girl said, standing up, and running upstairs.
Lukas adjusted his cap on his head, and grabbed his scarf off the hook on his door. He twirled it round his neck, and stole a glance at his clock. The Snorlax's chest read twenty five to nine, as he tightened the scarf. He found his bag in one of his closets, and made sure it was empty. He ran over to his PC, and logged on. He typed for a few seconds, and a small drive opened up on the hard drive. Half a dozen potions, and a packet of various berries were sitting in the small opening. He grabbed them, and tucked them away into his backpack. Grabbing his watch, and tightening it around his wrist, he grabbed his trainers, and shut his bedroom door.
"Lukas, you got dressed, then," his mum said, holding out a plate with a few slices of toast on it. "I made you toast, now eat up, you still have twenty minutes until you leave."
Lukas thanked his mother for the toast, and ran to the fridge. He took a small carton of juice out, and sat down at the table. He slurped at the carton, and munched on his toast, until he had five minutes to go, before he left for Oaks.
"Lukas, I made you some lunch for the next couple of days. You don't know when you'll reach Viridian," she said sweetly, adding two plastic boxes to his bag.
"Mum, Viridian City is like, three hours away. I won't be needing all this food," Lukas said, dusting off his plate, but gratefully took the food anyway. He took his bag from his mother, and stood up.
"Well, I'm off now, Mum," Lukas said, adjusting his cap.
"Oh, Lukas, make sure you'll stay safe, won't you? I'll send you money every week by the PC system, okay?" His mum asked, very concerned.
"Mum, I'll be okay. I'll see you in a while! Bye!" Lukas opened the door, and waved goodbye to his mother, who waved back. He ran to Oaks Lab, and opened the door.
"Hello?" Lukas said, peering inside the lab. There was a steady sound of talk coming from the top of the lab. At small desks four scientists typed quickly on keyboards, occasionally referring to a textbook, or answering the phone.
"Hello? Mrs Rickers, you've done this before. No, this isn't the pizza shop. No, Kanto doesn't have a pizza shop. Mrs Rick-"
Lukas passed a scientist arguing with a lady, and passed a long bookcase. He watched as a boy he didn't know talked avidly and quickly to Professor Oak.
"So after testing fifteen Caterpies, I discovered that they can not evolve into a Kakuna," the boy finished, as Oak read a pile of notes carefully.
"Well done Marcus, these are excellent notes," Oak said, handing back the pile of paper.
"Um excuse me, Professor Oak?" Oak turned his attention to Lukas, whilst Marcus caught his eye on a small red device.
"Yes, you must be Lukas. You're here for your starter Pokemon?" Professor Oak presumed. Lukas nodded, and followed Oak to a small table near his computer.
"These are the Pokemon, in these small Pokeballs. Let me summon the Pokemon inside." Oak grabbed one ball off the desk, pressing a small white button in the centre of the ball. The ball opened, and a red beam of energy flew out.
"Squirtle, the water type Pokemon." Squirtle peered up at Lukas, examining him closely.
"Charmander, the fire type Pokemon." Another ball opened, to show a small red lizard, with a flame at the end of his tail. "Char," it said weakly, before sitting down on the desk next to Squirtle.
"This is Bulbasaur, the grass type Pokemon." The final ball opened out to reveal a small, blue creature, with a green bulb on its back.
'Which one to choose', Lukas thought, looking at each one carefully.
"I've made my decision. I'll take the Squirtle."
"So be it, then. Squirtle, return," said the Professor, holding out the Pokeball. "Keep your Pokemon safe in this ball, until you want to battle. You may want to stock up -"
"Professor, is this the new Pokedex?" Marcus asked, holding up a small red square, with a screen in the middle. There were a few buttons on either side of it.
"Ah yes, Lukas -" Oak took the Dex from Marcus's hand "-the new Pokedex. You'll need it to identify the Pokemon you meet. Just scan it over a Pokemon, and it will give details on them. Here ya go," Oak handed over the Pokedex to Lukas, who thanked the Professor, and put it in his coat pocket.
"Now, you may start your Pokemon journey!"
"Thank you so much," Lukas said, saying goodbye to the Professor as he walked to the door. 'Wow', he thought, 'my own Pokemon'.
Lukas took the small Pokeball off of his belt, and turned it around in his hand. On the red half, was a small word etched on in blue: Squirtle.
"Squirtle. Let's check you out. Squirtle: I choose you!" Lukas opened the Ball, and the small blue turtle was back, looking at his surroundings.
"Squuuuirtle," He said, looking up at Lukas.
"Hey little guy," Lukas said, kneeling down so he was face-to-face with the small Pokemon. "Want to come see my room?" Squirtle looked into Lukas' eyes, freaking the boy out a bit. He got the feeling this Pokemon wasn't very keen on him.
"Squirtle," the turtle said, holding his hands out to Lukas, his eyes growing wider.
"Y-you want me to carry you?" Lukas said. The Squirtle nodded. "Okay…" Lukas grabbed the Squirtle, and lifted him up. He put one arm around the Pokemon's back, so it could look over his shoulder.
He carried the Squirtle down a grassy road, toward a small settlement of houses. He walked quickly down a hill, and down another grassy road. He turned left of the path, walking past a house.
"Hey mum," Dawn said, looking out of her living room window, as Lukas walked past. "Lukas has a Pokemon!" Dawn ran to the door, and yanked it open. She stuck her head out of the doorway.
"Hey Lukas!" Dawn shouted. Lukas stopped abruptly, and turned around.
"Oh, hey Dawn. Guess what? I got a Pokemon!" Lukas ran to Dawn's door, and held up the small Squirtle.
"Aww…so, you're ready to start your adventure, then?" Dawn asked patting the Squirtle on the head.
"Yup. Dawn, you should have came too - they have a really cool Charmander. I was torn between the two! You'll love him!"
"I don't know, Lukas, you know I'm rubbish when it comes to catching Pokemon," Dawn replied, folding her arms over her chest. "Remember when I kicked that Caterpie when I was five?"
"Dawn, you were five. You're now ten. Please, will you just take a look at the Pokemon there? You don't have to pick one, honest."
Dawn looked over at her Mum, who was watching telly with Clea. "Can I Mum?" she asked.
"Of course you can Dawn. Berry-picking can wait!" Her mother replied. Dawn turned over to talk to Lukas again.
"Well? You coming or not?"
"I guess I can take a quick look…"
"Great! Let's go!"
Lukas grabbed Dawns arm, and they ran to the steep hill. They began to climb it, as the Laboratory came into view once more.
"There it is! Come on!" Lukas shouted down to Dawn, as she crawled to the top of the hill. She stood up, brushing her knees off. She followed Lukas, who was already halfway to the Lab.
Dawn caught up with him, as he knocked on the door. A quick 'come in' from one of the scientists, and Lukas opened the lab door. He showed Dawn to the top of the Lab, as she reluctantly followed. Marcus was still there, examining an ill Rattata.
"Hello again, Lukas," Oak said, smiling at the youngsters. "Is something up with Squirtle."
"No no, Squirtle's great. Dawn would like to take a look at the other Starter Pokemon.
"Oh okay, Dawn. Come over here…" Oak ushered her to the small desk, where Bulbasaur was sleeping, and Charmander was trying to catch its tail.
"Oh cool…" Dawn said. Marcus stopped attending to the ill Rattata, to watch what Pokemon she chose, if she chose any. Dawn walked over to the Charmander, stroking its side. Marcus held his breath, as she tickled under his chin. Then, she moved onto Bulbasaur, and looked at him idly. Marcus exhaled happily, as she smiled at the Bulbasaur.
"I think…well…I really like this Bulbasaur."
"Dawn, are you coming on the adventure too?" Lukas asked.
"Well…I'll go to Viridian City and I'll see how I get on with Bulbasaur. Is that a deal, Bulbasaur?" However, Bulbasaur continued to sleep.
"Very well then, Bulbasaur it is. Return." Oak snapped the Pokeball shut, and handed it over to Dawn, who held it in her hands preciously.
"Yes, Dawn! Now I won't have to go on my own! This is brilliant!" Lukas said, Squirtle also showed a little smile.
"Um, excuse me, I couldn't help but overhear." Lukas and Dawn turned around, as Marcus stood up from his table. "Are you going to Viridian?" He asked the two. "It's just, well, I know the way there - I live there, you see, and my dad and his Pidgeot aren't picking me up today, so, I could show you the way to Viridian City if you wanted to - I'm going home in a couple of minutes away."
"Cool!" Dawn replied, smiling.
"Cool, let me just pack my things. I'm Marcus, by the way," Marcus said, shaking Lukas' and Dawn's hands. Dawn giggled slightly.
"I'm Dawn, and this is Lukas," Dawn said. "Do you have a Pokemon?"
"I don't, but my dad has a Pidgeot and a Raichu."
"That's too bad," Lukas replied picking up his Squirtle from the desk. "Oh, why don't you take Charmander!"
"I don't know. I'm not really into battling. I'm more adventurous. Although, I do secretly want a Charmander…" Marcus gazed dreamily at the Charmander, who was currently cleaning its paws.
"Professor, would it be okay if Marcus took the final Charmander?" Lukas asked. Marcus went to protest, but the Professor was too quick for him.
"Well…it is half past nine, so the other boy that was meant to pick hasn't showed up. Go on then, Marcus. I'm afraid you don't get to pick a Pokemon - so you'll have to have the Charmander." Oak explained.
"Great," Marcus said, picking up the Charmander.
"This is his Pokeball," Oak said, handing over a red and white ball.
"Oh, I nearly forgot. Lukas, you'll need some Pokeballs for your journey." Oak went to his desk, and pulled out five Pokeballs from his drawer.
"Use these to catch your Pokemon. That Squirtle, however strong, won't be enough to defeat the league."
"Thanks," Lukas said, taking the balls, and clipping them onto his belt.
"Are you ready then?" Dawn said, tucking her own Pokeball into her pocket.
"Let's go!" Lukas replied, running to the door.
