It was a beautiful day in pallet town. The children were all running about with their brand new starter pokemon. Eva has just met up with her best friend Alka, and is almost ready to start her journey. Before leaving home, they need to stop by Ash's lab, to pick up their first pokemon. "I'm so excited Alka, I wonder what he'll give me," Eva said, looking up at the clear blue sky. Eva looked over to Alka and smiled, "I think we're going to be a great team." The two continued down the road to Ash's lab.

Alka woke up and rubed his eyes. He got off and picked up the new clothes his mom got for him. 'A new trainer should look his best.' was what his mom said to him the day before. He sliped into his new clothes and walked over to the pc. He opened up his item storage and took out one poke ball and a potion. Somthing his mom put in there for him. He put the things in his pack and went down stairs. His mom gave him a big hug. She was crying but Alka knew it was because she was so happy. His dad was one of the elite four's[Bruno]. He wouldn't see him until he was strong enofe. His dad came home yesterday to wish him luck. Then his dad went back to battle trainers. Alka went outside. He saw his best friend Her mom was one of the elire four's too[Lorelei]. He bumped into her playfully and said "Yah i cant wait to see who Ash gives to me." The two started to walk to Ash's House.

Eva & Alka soon made it to Ash's house. He lived atop a hill, in Professor Oaks old lab. He had taken over a few years ago, after the professor got sick. The two looked up to Ash, he was everything they dreamt of being. Eva looked up the stairs to his house and sighed, "Ugh, stairs." She rolled her eyes and stepped onto the first step. "But it's worth it," She said with a full smile, looking back at Alka. "What are you waiting for?" She laughed, and started running up the stairs ahead of her friend.

Alka started to run up the stairs. Ash opened the door and said 'I was waiting for you two. Whos first?'She looked nervous so Alka was the first to get a new friend he crossed his fingers. He so wanted a fire pokemon. Ash gave him a ball and said 'Alka i gave it a lot of tought. I want you to have this one. He was my most trusted pokemon. He wasnt my first and i didnt train him much but i gave him alot of love.' Alka started to think it had to be it. He took the ball and trew it and yelled "GO POKEMON". It bursted open and a red beam came out of it. The ball flew back to his hand and Alka looked at his new friend. It was a Bulba. Alka's spirit droped at the sight but Ash gave him a pat on the back. Alka said "Im going to call him Bulba." Ash and Eva gave a big smile and Alka rutuned the pokemon to the ball.He pushed the big button in the midle and it shrunk. He put the tinny ball on his waist belt. It was now Eva's turn.

Eva watched Alka get his first pokemon. Wow, a bulbasaur! she thought to herself. "My turn Ash!" She said, looking at him, full of hope. She was excited to see what pokemon she would be starting her adventure with. "Charmander?" She said excitedly, "Squirtle?" She had no idea. "Well little lady," Ash said, turning to his desk and opening a drawer. He took out a pokeball that looked like it hadn't had much use. "Here you go, send him out for yourself." He said, tossing the ball to Eva. She lunged to catch the ball, almost falling to the floor. She held the pokeball for a second, smiling, wondering who was in it. "GO!" she said loudly, throwing the pokeball infront of her. There was a quick flash of yellow light, followed by a squiky voice, "Pika!" Eva jumped in the air, "A pikachu!" She was so excited, "Ash, thank you so much!" She ran over to the pikachu, picking it up in her arms.

Now it was time to train. Eva & Alka said goodbye to Ash as he wished them luck on their journey. Before leaving Pallet, the two decided to part, and get to know their first pokemon. Eva went north of Pallet, and Alka to the south.

[IMGleft]http://i42.tinypic.com/154dogw.jpg[/IMGleft]Trainer Name: Kari
Age: 17
Starter: Eevee
Caught Pokemon: Pidgey

Kari didn't recieve her first pokemon from the local professer, instead she met an eevee and became the best of friends. Eevee preferes to stay out of his pokeball. Eevee and Kari set out a year earlier then the others on their pokemon journey, but didn't have a human partner. So instead of going straight to veridian city for her first gym battle, Kari and eevee began battling an assortment of wild pokemon on the nearist route. Together they cought themselves a pidgey. Kari met many other pokemon trainers travilling through pallet town and challenged nearly every single one. She won some and lost some, but every battle only pushes her closer to her dream. Kari Has high dreams of herself. She wants to be the best pokemon trainer in the world. She treats all her pokemon equally and they grow strong together! Kari has a very competitive nature and challenges every trainer to test her skills as a pokemon trainer. Kari is the daughter of karen, the world knows her as the dark master of the elite four in johto. Kari moved to pallet town with her father (who is busy with his research being professor oaks assistant in his research) Since professor oaks illness, Kari's father is trying to become pallet towns number 1 professor.

Eva headed to route 1, just north of Pallet Town. Eva held her new Pikachu tight in her arms. "You ready little buddy?" She asked, looking at her new pokemon. "Chuuu," The Pikachu said with a nod. She took a step into the tall grass, then took another. Eva looked around, seeing if she could spot any pokemon near. Nothing yet, though there was a trainer on the other side of the tall grass. Eva took another look around, checking for wild pokemon. None in sight still, so she jogged through the rest of the grass to make it to the girl standing near a road sign. "Hi there, My name's Eva," She said, smiling at her.

"Hi there Eva, Oh! your Pikachu is just the cutest! How long have you been training it?"Kari said to Eva as she aproached. Eevee was playing with Pidgey in the field beside the two girls as they got acquainted. Pikachu ran over and joined the other pokemon and began to play along. "Hey Eva! how would you like to have your first battle with me?

Eva watched as Pikachu played in the field next to them. "Um, I guess so?" She said, not really being sure if she was ready. "I just came from Ash's house, so I don't have any experience yet," Eva admitted, looking down. She looked back over to Pikachu, There's a first time for everything, she thought to herself. Eva looked back at the dark haired girl and gave a slight nod. "Okay," she said, "Don't go to hard on us." Eva smiled and turned back to the pokemon, "Pikachu, are you ready for our first battle together?" Pikachu let out a loud squeek, and came running to Eva, then jumped up into her arms. "Let's do this." She said.

"Ok!"Kari called out in excitement. hmm, i cant use pidgey. Flying is weak against electric. Eevee is my best bet. Kari called to her pokemon. "Alright Eevee, lets heve a battle with our new friend!" Eevee hopped from right beside Kari to about 4 and a half feet in front of her."Lets start by showing you the basics. Your pokemon stand in front and you can call out pikachu's moves and pikachu will attack. Im sure you already knew that. Now lets try it! ok Eevee, Growl now!" Eevee took battle stance by lowering its front half of its body, and lifting his butt in the air. first ill weaken her pokemon. Eevee let out surprisingly loud growl. Pikachu seemed to quiver by impulse.

Eva stood accross from Kari, with their pokemon now battling between them. Kari's eevee let out a loud growl, scaring Eva's pikachu. "Pikachu," She said, thinking for a moment, "Use your thunder shock!" Eva bought her hand to her mouth, she was very nervous. Pikachu began to charge up, having sparks coming off of her. "Pikaaaa CHUUU," Pikachu let out a loud roar, almost with a wave of thunder. Kari's Eevee stood still for a moment, shocked and staticy. "Good job Pikachu!" Eva yelled, trying to encourage her only pokemon.

Eevee took thunder shock pretty well, you could see that eevee felt the shock from pikachu's attack but shook it off and got right back into battle stance. "And now its my turn! Eevee, use tackle attack." Eevee dashed towards pikachu and bashed it with eevees head. Pikachu was thrown back and hit the ground very hard. Eevees attack was very effective due to the previous attack before it. "You see Eva, growl lowered your Pikachu's defence making it more vulnerable to a physical attack." Eevee reversed its battle stance lifting its head up high, feeling very proud of its self eevee let out a battle cry "VEEEE!" "Great Job eevee!" Kari said with a grin on her face. Kari doesnt usually pick on rookie trainers but this time she feels like she is mentoring this young trainer. Pidgey flew down from the sky, she was circling the battle from above. Pidgey lands on Kari's shoulder and joins kari in celebrating. Kari raises her 2 fingers and winks."YEA! haha!"

Eva ran over to Pikachu and picked her up. "Are you okay Pikachu?" She said in a worried voice. "I said I wasn't very experienced," she looked over at Kari and her eevee. "I think I need to go to a pokemon center." Eva took Pikachu's pokeball out of her backpack, and held it up, "You should rest in here," she said. Pikachu slapped the pokeball out of Eva's hand, making a disapproving face. "Okay, have it your way," She said, craddling Pikachu like a baby. "Where is the nearest pokemon center?" Eva asked Kira, still looking at Pikachu in her arms. She pet Pikachu's head, trying to help it feel better.

"Relax Eva, your Pikachu is fine. She lookes like she has alot of energy still. But we can finish our battle another time when you are ready. If your that worried about your pikachu, I know a shortcut to veridian without going through any tall grass. Come on fallow me!" Kari Signaled to Eva to fallow. Kari then called her pidgey back into its pokeball. A red light shot out and consumed pidgey and brought it into the ball. Kari then placed it in the many clips on her belt. "come on, it's this way" They began to walk north towards veridian city.

Eva cradled Pikachu in her arms as they headed towards Veridian City. She repeatedly looked down at Pikachu. Kari seemed to have more experience with pokemon than Eva did, so she believed her when she said Pikachu was okay. "Don't worry, we're almost there Pikachu," Eva said, walking behind Kari.
They soon made it to the end of route 1, and into Viridian City. The pokemon center could be seen from the town limits, and the two quickly went over to the orange roofed building. This was Eva's first time in a pokemon center, and she felt a little embarassed. She thought, what if the nurse thinks I'm a bad trainer for getting Pikachu hurt like this? They walked through the front doors and to the counter. Not being sure what to say, Eva looked over to Kari.

Kari Noticed how nervous Eva really was, looked back at her and smiled. Kari looked at the nurse aproaching the two young trainers."Nurse Joy, My friends pikachu needs a rest for a bit. I was showing her how to battle." The nurse looked down at the young girls and smiled."looks like there are no serious injurys, here let me see your pikachu. I will have it full of energy in no time" Eva handed pikachu to the nurse and the nurse brought it into a back room. Eva and Kari waited in the front lounge patiently conversing with eachother about various things. The nurse emurged from that back holding pikachu, pikachu is glowing with health."Now you play nice with the rookie trainers kari" Nurse joy said to the girls as she handed pikachu back to Eva. "you know her?" Eva asked Kari still to nervous to speak to joy directly. "yea, ive been training on route 1 for the last year. This is the closest pokemon center for miles. Haha, everyone here knows me by name." The girls left the pokemon center thanking joy together at the same time. Pikachu and Eevee seem to be getting along great, they are walking together right beside the two girls. one day, Eevee is going to evolve into an umbrion. and one day, i will become the best pokemon trainer Kari is confident that things will go her way, one way or an other."Hey, why dont i show you where i met pidgey. Who knows, maybe you will run into your first wild pokemon." As the two young girls are walking south on route 1 a wild sentret apeared.

Eva stood and looked at the pokemon, it was a sentret. She'd seen them before, and always thought they were cute. "Sentret?" She said, making sure she had the name right. Eva looked at the sentret, trying to figure out how this was suppose to work. "So I just, catch it?" She asked, raising an eyebrow. She thought back for a moment on her school lessons. She had a class on wild pokemon, and was taught what to do in this situation. "No, I'll have to weaken it first." Eva stood tall and turned to Pikachu, who was chasing Eevee's tail. "Pikachu, Let's get that sentret!" Following her orders, Pikachu became serious, and got infront of Eva. "Pikachu, thunder shock!" She said pointing at the sentret. Quickly Pikachu let out a wave of thunder and shocked the sentret. The senret was weakened, and flopped down face first. "Holy crap I think I killed it!" Eva said, running over to the Sentret. It's eyes we're still open, and it was makings a soft squeking noise. Seeing that it wasn't dead, Eva went in her backpack and took out an empty pokeball. "Let's be friends," She said, catching the pokemon. The ball shook three times, and sealed with a click. Eva stared at the ball wide eyed, "Did it work?" She said, looking to Kari.

"Lets see, Why dont you bring it out so we can meet your new friend!"Eevee looked up at kari and hopped right into her arms. "Eevee do you want to meet Eva's new friend" Eevee let out a cheerful cry."haha, i guess thats a yes." Kari stood there holding Eevee awaiting a response.

"Sure," Eva said, looking at the pokeball in her hand. She tossed it to the ground, "Come on out Sentret!" she said. The ball sprung open and Sentret appeared through a quick flash of light. The Sentret looked scared and confused. Eva brought herself down to her knees and looked at it. "Sorry for hurting you, you're just so cute I wanted to be your friend," She said to the pokemon infront of her. It didn't seem to understand very well. "Pikachu, can you explain?" Eva said, turning to Pikachu, who was half asleep on a rock. Pikachu looked up from its nap and rolled off the rock. Senret kept it's eyes on Pikachu, anticipating another fight. Pikachu walked up and reached out her hand. "Pika Pika," She said, with a cute pokemon smile. The Sentret raised an eyebrow and looked up at Eva. Giving a reassuring look, Eva nodded at the Sentret. The two pokemon shook hands, knowing they would be team mates now. Sentret became very happy and began bouncing around on it's tail.

"Haha, Awe! Thats so cute, would you look at that. Usually pokemon have to work on relationships with other pokemon. Your pokemon must really see some potential in you as a trainer. Hey mind if i come with you on your pokemon journey. i promise i wont get in your way!" Kari extended her hand out for a hand shake. I hope i get to travel with her, i really could use some friends. the sun is really low in the sky at this point and the young trainers are still a ways away from pallet town, thier home.

Eva didn't seem the harm in letting her join. "Oh, well, there's a guy I'm traveling with too," She said, not being sure if Kari would still wanted to join. "It's up to you," Eva continued, watching Pikachu play with Sentret.

"The more the marrier, Ive been alone with my pokemon for a year now, And i cant challenge a gym leader without a partner"Kari went on cheerfully."Maybe you and your friend can help me get some gym badges, and i can return the favor."
