My name Tyler Colt,
my birthday was two weeks ago although for some odd reason I hadn't felt the urge to leave yet. I mean, I don't have a dream. I don't want to become a Champion, Pokemon master or Gym Leader like most kids do. I really have no clue. All I know is that I want to travel, catch Pokemon and make new friends.
I was leaving tomorrow. That wasn't too far away since it was already sunset. All I had to do really was walk down the road to Professor Sycamore's Pokemon Lab. I sat there foretelling my journey, giving off a rare smirk in my case as I did so.
CHIRP! CHIRP! I snapped out of my daydream as some Fletchling and Staravia flew past me. It's so magical to see two Pokemon that originated from different regions live in harmony.
The wind also picked up and it was so strong I felt as if it would blow me off the tower, so, I decided to get down. Before doing so I had one last glance of this magnificent view as I wouldn't see it for a long time…
I ran back inside my house only to find my mother waiting there for me.
"Sweetie you're home! You've been out all day!" my mother cried as she ran over to hug me. My mum had brown hair that was usually tied up in some swirly bun with hazel eyes.
I got the green eyes and the dirty blond hair from my father. She usually wore a white shirt and some brown tight pants. When she was working or in the kitchen she wore a cyan apron with thick white lining.
"Mum please!" I groaned as I pulled away from her.
"Hmm. I thought you'd have that reaction. So I got you a gift!" she said with a cheer. I perked up at the word gift and looked over at my mum as she brought back a box. I calmly opened it and inside I saw some brand new clothes!
"Wow mum they look great," I told her with a hint of a smile. I didn't laugh or smile that often as I wasn't the type of person to laugh or smile at everything.
"Well then go try them on!" I ran out of the room and chucked off the shabby clothes I had on and put on my new ones. I walked back out and my mum squealed with excitement as they fit perfectly and looked great on me.
I was wearing mustard coloured chinos and a white top. Over the white top was an unzipped jacket that was a very light sky colour. I wore black vans and also had three bracelets on my right arm; one was blue and red, one was white and black and the other was rainbow coloured. They all were about a centimetre thick and were made out of coloured thread and embedded into a pattern.
"Thanks mum, I love them. The perfect clothes to start my journey with!" I complimented her. She gave me a warm smile in return as she watched me run up the stairs.
"That's my boy…" I heard her mutter as I walked away.
"Bye!" I waved to my family as I started to walk down the road that lead to Professor Sycamore's Pokemon Lab. I decided after I got my starter I wouldn't come back home and immediately start on my own. I needed to show I wouldn't have to rely on anyone throughout my journey.
"Stay safe and keep healthy!" my mother reminded me.
"Have a safe trip!" my father yelled to me. My father had returned home to give me a send-off as well. I was wearing the clothes that my mum gave me and also wearing a necklace that was a strange rainbow colour – it was transparent but not transparent at the same time. My father had given it to me but I had no clue what it did. He said I'd find out in due time. It seriously seemed like it had no purpose at all though. "Prepare yourself Kalos, I'm coming for you!"
I walked into the large building that rested near the outskirts of town and I found in the lobby no one but a receptionist and a cute little Dedenne that rested on her head.
"Hello, I'm here to see Professor Sycamore…" I told the receptionist nervously. I had no clue as to why I was nervous. I guess starting your journey can give some people jitters?
"You must be the new trainer!" she realised. I nodded. "Well, one of them anyways…" I gave her a confused look as I hadn't heard of other new trainer/s. "You see, there's two other new trainers starting in Aquacorde Town and Vaniville Town and since you were meant to come two weeks ago… Well, Professor Sycamore kind of went to meet those two."
"No way!" I groaned.
"And he won't be back for another month! After he gives them their starting Pokemon tomorrow he's then leaving to go to the Kanto region for a month."
"Well then, I guess I'm going to Aquacorde Town!" I shouted with energy I didn't usually have. Why am I getting so pumped up over this?
I usually don't feel like I need to shout or run but I want that Pokemon. I want to battle! "See you another time!" I dashed out of the door and headed for Route 4 but then realised that lots of Pokemon roamed Route 4. It was a few hours of roaming through the fields and then an hour going through the magnificent garden.
I couldn't survive that long without any Pokemon by my side. I sighed. Looks like I'll have to go back home after all.
"Oh I'm so sorry to hear that sweety," my mother said as she tried to comfort me. "Is there anything I can do to help?"
"Yes actually. Could you by any chance get Kris to lend me his Staraptor?" I questioned. "He said no when I asked him." I gave my mum then 'pretty please' look until she caved.
"Alright, anything for my baby boy!" Too easy mum, too easy.
She came back minutes later with a pokeball in her hand.
"Ok, I've talked it over with your brother and he said he'd lend it to you only until you get your starter Pokemon. He said if it's not back by tomorrow night then he'll have to punish you!" my mum said with a wink. "You know how to work the pokeball transporter at the Pokemon Centre right?"
"Of course!"
"Good. Now, it's already noon so you better hurry if you want to get to Santalune City before sunset." She gave me a kiss on the head. I smiled, waved goodbye and ran out the door. I was so excited that yes, I ran.
