Start of an Adventure
It was late at night in Pallet Town. Stores had closed hours ago, and most people had already gone to sleep for the night. There were few sounds at this time to disturb anyone in the rural community. It was very tranquil and peaceful. There was still one light on in Pallet Town, however. It showed from the second story window from the bedroom of a two story house. The said bedroom belonged to Ash Ketchum. It had been three years since he was at Pallet Town summer camp. Now, he was ten years of age, and tomorrow would be the day he would finally begin his journey to be a Pokemon Master. It had been the only thing he had thought about the entire day.
He currently had the television turned on to a Pokemon battle between a Gengar and Nidorino. Gengar was of the ghost/poison-type Pokemon and was dark purple in color with its face in a mischievous grin. It had protrusions coming from its back that resembled spikes. Nidorino was a poison-type Pokemon and was dark pink and resembled a large rabbit. It had a large horn protruding from its forehead. The Pokemon belonged to members of the Elite Four themselves. Gengar belonged to Agatha, and Nidorino belonged to Bruno.
Despite the intensity of the battle, Ash wasn't paying it much mind. He was too focused on his journey for tomorrow. Ash's mother had just bought him some new clothes for his journey earlier that day, which he was currently trying on. They consisted of a plain black, short-sleeved shirt with a pair of blue jeans. Over the black shirt he had on a blue jacket with white short sleeves which he wore open. On his hands were a pair of black, fingerless gloves with green edgings. He was also wearing his favorite red and white hat. It was the official Pokemon League hat. Ash claimed he had to send in about a million post cards to win it, which made it very special to him.
"Alright. Tomorrow is finally the day," Ash said to himself. "My dream to become a Pokemon Master is going to begin." He then picked up an alarm clock in the shape of a pokeball and held it out in front of him. "I will be the very best! Like no one ever was! That is what I…."
"Ash! Get to bed!"
The sudden appearance of Delia Ketchum, his mother, in the doorway and her shout startled Ash so much that he threw the alarm clock across the room which was caught by her. It then opened up revealing a mechanical Pidgey that was cuckooing. Ash's mother was a young woman with brown eyes and long brown hair which was tied into a ponytail. She was currently wearing her night robe.
"It's late, Ash" she continued. "Tomorrow is the day you start your Pokemon journey. You need your rest so you don't oversleep and get a late start."
"I know, Mom. I'm just so excited for tomorrow that I'm not tired. I'll go to bed real soon, though. I promise,' Ash said.
"Fine. You have ten more minutes, and then I want to see you in bed, young man," Delia told him. She then walked over to the television and changed the channel. "In the meantime, at least watch something a little more educational." With that, she walked out of the room.
Ash turned to the television. The channel she had changed it to featured Professor Oak discussing the three starter Pokemon that trainers could choose from. They consisted of: Charmander, Bulbasaur, and Squirtle. Trainers may only choose one, and each one had their own strengths and weaknesses that would serve trainers differently depending on the circumstance.
"For all you future Pokemon trainers out there," Professor Oak began, "I'd like to present to you the starter Pokemon. They are Bulbasaur, the grass-type, Charmander, the fire-type, and Squirtle, the water-type. One of these three powerful Pokemon await you and will be your loyal companions, but remember, Pokemon are also your friends. Perhaps you will choose Bulbasaur, whose razor-sharp leaves and vines can cut through the thickest forest. Maybe Charmander, whose strong body is sure to be useful in tough climates, or perhaps Squirtle is more to your liking, who can get you across any body of water."
"They all look so good. It will be a really tough choice," Ash thought. He did know that whomever he chose would be the best friend Ash could ask for. He couldn't wait to meet his future partner tomorrow.

Elsewhere on a boat a few hours away from Pallet Town, a boy with dark blonde hair and wearing black pants and a black shirt with a black hat on the ground next to him was lying on the deck of the ship with a Ralts standing next to him and a shiny feebas swimming in the nearby pool, as he looked up at the stars. However unlike Ash, he was unable to get to sleep. The boy was Solar Kanon. He was a new trainer from the town of Alto Mare, just on the border of Johto and Hoenn. He had come to the Kanto Region to start his Pokémon journey and also bring a new Pokedex from the Hoenn Region to Professor Oak for preparation of creating a fully new Pokedex classified as the national Pokedex.
He had been convinced by his grandfather Lorenzo Kanon and his younger sister Bianca Kanon to become a Pokémon trainer and go on an adventure instead of staying cooped up in the town. As he had gotten ready to leave Alto Mare he was given a dive ball containing a young shiny feebas, and his grandfather also gave him an egg with a red triangle on it, he hopes the egg will hatch while Solar is on his journey, since the egg still hadn’t hatched when its siblings had already hatched. Solar left Alto Mare and proceeded to Hoenn where he met Professor Birch and learned that the Hoenn Pokémon League was still in the progress of assigning Gym Leaders. So Professor Birch recommended that Solar give the Kanto Region a shot, and also gave him a parcel containing the Hoenn Pokedex. However on his way to the docks with Professor Birch, they came across a young injured Ralts that had been surrounded by a group of Poochena. Solar helped the Ralts as Professor Birch battled the Poochena with a Sceptile. After taking the Ralts to a Pokémon centre, Professor Birch had given Solar a poke ball to catch the Ralts since it seemed to want stay with Solar and would be his main starter Pokémon since Professor Birch already knew that there was a chance that Professor Oak would run out of starter Pokémon for the new trainers. After saying farewell to Professor Birch at Slateport, Solar had spent most of his time on the deck of the ship as it proceeded to Kanto.

"Today is finally the day," Ash thought as finished tying his tennis shoes. It was the next morning, and he had been waiting for this moment a long time. He was pumped. He ran out of his room, down the stairs, and then burst into the kitchen. His mother, Delia, had just finished cooking him a big breakfast.
"Ash, this is the last meal I'm going to cook for you in a while, so I hope you're hungry. I made plenty," Delia said as set the plate of food down on the table. Ash looked hungrily at the plate of food in front of him. I consisted of a stack of pancakes and plenty of bacon on the side.
"Thanks, Mom!" Ash said as he began to dig in. It all tasted so good! He really would miss his mom's cooking while he was gone.
"Oh, my little baby is going on his Pokemon journey. You are growing up so fast!" Delia said as she began to tear up as Ash finished his breakfast.
"Mom…" Ash said embarrassedly.
"Now, Professor Oak is waiting for you, Ash. You should go ahead to the lab. You don't want to be late, do you?" Delia told him.
It was then that Ash looked at the clock. He only had ten minutes until he was supposed to be at Professor Oak's lab!
"Oh, no! I'm running late!" Ash exclaimed as he dashed out of the house.
"Make sure to stop by the house again before you leave!" Delia called after him
"Okay!" Ash shouted back.

"Attention all Passengers, the ship has arrived at Pallet Town, please disembark in an ordinarily fashion!” The Captain of the ship says over the speakers. Solar grabs his backpack and checks on the egg inside to make sure it’s still there, he then puts his backpack on, and picks up his Ralts before leaving his room and proceeding to the exit ramp.
