" Man..this is bogus.. " Replied 12 year old Mike.

" If you want to pay off that window you broke, your going to have to Work for it.", scolded his mother.

Arrogantly, he finished the laundry then went Upstairs to his room. His room was decorated with tons of Pokemon Merchandise. Clocks, Desks, Even his PC. His father was a Pokemon trainer but was paralyzed permanently by a pack of Rhyhorn. He wanted to start pokemon training when he was 10, but his mother wouldn't let him.

" Hey mom, The Pokemon League in Viridian City is having a Pokemon convention, can I go? " asked Mike Doubtful.

His mom sighed, " Honey, I know you have been into pokemon ever since you were a kid and we had that umm..Etapoo."

" Pikachu! "

" Right, Pikachu...We'll I'll consider you going into pokemon training.."

" Alright! " Mike rudely cut off his mother.

" Wait upstairs in your room, I have to make a phone call " His mother commanded.

Excited, Mike darted up to his room and looked under his bed. He pulled out a Poke-ball and a dusty Poke-dex. Out of the Poke-ball, a cute mouse sat on his bed.

" Hey Pikachu, guess what? Mom might let us go on a pokemon journey! " announced Mike.

" Pikachu! " replied the Pikachu.

" Shh.. keep it down, if mom knew i had you up here all this time he would throw a fit! "

The Pikachu nodded.

Zachary then picked up the Poke-dex that belonged to his father and opened it.

" Hello Jeff Franklin, .." said the Pokedex.

Mike laughed, his mom never ordered him one, so he Secretly kept his fathers.

Mike pointed the Poke-dex towards his Pikachu.

" Pika? " announced the puzzled pikachu.

"Pikachu, a mouse pokemon of the Electric type."

" Pikachu! " cheered the mouse.

Footsteps were heard from the steps and Mike quickly paniced. He shut off his Poke-dex and Returned Pikachu to his Pokeball. He hid hiis trainer gear under his bed and sat on the bed acting Natural.

" Michael, i need you to run an errand for me" His mom asked him. ", Mr. Carson needs this Pie to cater his party, the caterers were robbed by a band of thugs. "

" Okay mom, I'll be down in a second. " MIke replied.

" C'mon Pikachu, I'll bring you along " he said to his Poke-ball, and he placed Pikachu in his backpack and put His poke-dex in his pocket.

Mike ran down the steps, took the pie and Mr Carsons address, and started walking down the sidewalk. First he wanted to go by the Local Poke-mart.

" Hi Mr. Louis " Mike said to the owner of the Poke-mart.

" Hello Michael, what do you need? "

" Have you gotten any new Pokedex's? "

" We just got the New version in today, but its pretty pricey.."

"I'll take it! how much is it?"

" Well for you, i'll give it to you for 1800 coins. "

" WHoa! that IS pricey.. um, how about 1600? " Haggled Mike.

" 1700 " replied Mr Louis.

" 1650! "

"Okay okay you got me, 1650 it is." As Mr Louis retrieted.

" Thanks! "

" This one comes with about 6 poke-balls for the beginning trainer. To get your Pokemon out of the Storage system, you have to access Bill's website with your Pokedex password and name. "

" Thanks again Mr Louis! "

" Where ya headed? "

" Over to Mr Carsons, he needs a pie for this Party. "

" Oh yeah, i heard this gang robbed the Local Caterers, but dont worry, im a Member of the Neighborhood Watch! "

" Okay Mr. Louis. " Mike said as he left with his Brand new Pokedex.

" I'll keep my dads anyway, Just incase theres some extra information. " Mike told himself.

Soon, they reached Mr. Carsons house and the door was broken down.

" Huh? whats going on! " Yelled Mike as he ran to Mr Carsons doorstep.

" C'mon guys, we'll grab the loot and Split. " Anounced a robber.

" Hey! Stop! What are you doing! " Yelled mike. " Leave Mr Carson alone!. "

" Bah! and who are you, you brat. " Replied the theif

" Im Mike Franklin! Who are you! "

" Names Erik, you need to get out of my way while you can still walk. "

" Im warning you, leave Mr carson alone! " Mike said Boldly

" Hmm.. you have guts, I've gave you a warning, Now you will pay.." Erik snickered. He reached for his Pocket. " Venusaur! Go! " Out of a Poke-ball appeared a Venusaur.

" Huh? Whats that huge thing? " mike asked himself, He reached for his Pocket and got out his Brand new Pokedex.

The Pokedex Chimed. " Venusaur, a Grass and Poison pokemon. Strategies: Use a Fire pokemon if you have one. "

" That doesnt help much.. Pikachu go! " Mike tosses a poke-ball on the ground and his Pikachu popped out.

" Venusaur! Vine Whip!! " Erik called.

Before Mike could call out his first command his Pikachu was tangled in vines

" Pikachu! help out Mr. Carson, Thunder shock!" Mike yelled.

Pikachu shocked the vines therefore shocked Venusaur.

" Alright Pikachu! Thunder Wave! " yelled Mike.

" Venusaur, Poisonpowder! " commanded Erik

Before Pikachu could get his electricity started up, Pikachu was poisoned.

" Piika..pii..." squealed the tired Pikachu

" Ohh! Pikachu! " yelled Mike.

Suddenly, his Fathers Pokedex rung in his pocket.

" Huh? " Erik said.

" 1 of 4 antidotes, use on Pikachu? "

" Yes! " yelled Mike.

" Transfer complete. "

Suddenly, Pikachu was back on his feet.

" Okay Pikachu, Thunderbolt! "

The little Pikachu gave everything it had and made the Venusaur and Erik fly out of the door and into the sky

" Noo! Now i'll never make it into Team Rocket! " yelled Erik as he went over the Horizon.

" We did it Pikachu! We won our first battle! " announced Mike.

" pikaChu! " yelled the exausted Pikachu.

" um..help me? " Mr. Carson asked.

" Oh yeah, sorry. " Mike untied Mr. Carson.

" Thanks Michael! You just saved my life! Wait here, i have a surprise for you. " Mr Carson ran into his back room and came back with a Poke-ball.

" Here, i want you to have it. After all you saved my life. "

" Gee, thanks Mr Carson! " , " Here is the Pie my mom made for your Party. " Mike said handing him the Pie.

" Oh, well it looks like I wont be having the Party now, I bet the Bingo Club will love it though. " Mr Carson said Chuckling.

" Hehe, okay, Thanks again Mr. Carson! " Mike said.

Later on Mike said.

" Oh yeah, Look Pikachu! Mr. Carson gave us a Pokemon! I still need to see which one it is. "

" Pika! " Pikachu tapped on the Poke-ball and out of the mist, a Ditto appeared.

" Wow! Ive heard of these before! "

Mike whipped out his Blue Poke-dex.

" Ditto, a pokemon of the Normal type. There Genes let them change there Molecular structure into another figure. " The Poke-dex said.

" Huh? What? " Mike said puzzled

" It can Morph. " said the Poke-dex as if it heard Michael

" Wow Cool! " yelled Mike

" Ditto! " said Mike's new ditto.

" Pikachu! " said his Pikachu making friend.

" Hahaha, Hi Ditto! " said Mike.

 Mike went home to his Mother.

" Michael.. I know what youve been up to! " said his mom.

" Huh? Ryan did it! "

" Leave your little Brother out of this, Youve been keeping Pokemon in your room havent you! "

" Um.. well..yeah. "

" So how many do you have anyway? "

" Oh..just two..Y'know, not that many. " Mike said. " Did you happen to talk to Mr. Louis? "

" He told me about you going in his store.."

" Squealer.. " Mike mumbled.

" He Also told me you saved Mr.Carsons life with your Pikachu. "

" He did eh? Nice guy that Mr Louis i.."

" Thats enough, since your into pokemon, I phoned Professor Oak and told him to wait for you, Your going to Pallet Town this weekend."

" Wow, but Paller Town is pretty far away. How will we get there? "

" Mr. Carson's Pidgeot knows the Fly Ability, thats how he runs his Business. "

" Really? Wow! Thanks Ma! " Mike said excited.

" I'll pack your Backpack with snacks, extra cloths, our phone number and address, a Town Map, some snacks for your pokemon, swimming trunks, and Goldfish snacks. "

" Okay mom... " said Mike embarrised.

Mike and his mom drove to Mr. Carsons house and his mom said goodbye to him.

" Visit me as soon as you reach Cerulean City ok Michael? "

" I will, bye mom! "

"Okay Pidgeot, lets go!"

" Pidgeot! " squaked the bird. Pidgeot let Mike sit on his back and the 2 flew out of sight.

Well, it looks like Mike Jefferson is Really going to become a Pokemon Trainer afterall. He, his Pikachu, and his Ditto are heading for Pallet town to meet Professor Oak.
