Chapter 1: Late begginings


The sun had risen in the sky over the town of Pallet, most people where slowly getting out of their beds and preparing for a normal day of work, but in one home, this day would be very special, because the youngest inhabitant of the home, was about to head out on her journey, true she started 8 years later than most trainers whom started at ten but it didn`t matter to her, she was just eager to get started now, she had packed everything she needed on the journey the day before and set her alarm clock to go off a bit earlier than what was really needed, which would mean the alarm clock would be setting of right about now.

The loud barking of a Poochyena started up low but got louder and louder, the longer it went on, sadly however it didn`t wake the girl it was supposed to wake instead however it awoke a Manetric, that didn’t enjoy being woken up at 7 am in the morning and the longer the alarm clock kept going the more annoyed it got, “all right that`s it, I’m shutting that damn thing up” the Manetric growled before sending a jolt of electricity towards the Alarm clock, causing the thing to have a melt down and shut up and a smile to spread upon the lips of the Manetric before he went back to sleep, blissfully unaware of the screeching and angered shouting that would wake him up later.

“ZEVRAN, YOU COMPLETE IDIOT!!!” the angered shriek of his masters daughter once more rose the Manetric from his sleep, his eyes falling on the form his masters daughter racing around her room in nothing but her underwear, as she found her clothes, her red hair with the black highlights a complete mess, “don`t call me an idiot, I only shut up your noise thingy” Zevran responded before he shrank into madras when the girls eyes was in his face, glaring daggers from the normally gentle blue eyes, “yes like your normally do but today was..Is important, today is the day I`m supposed to start my Pokémon Journey and now because of you I`m an hour later, I was supposed to be there at 8!!” the girl growled before she disappeared into the bathroom to get ready leaving behind a rather guilty looking Zevran.

The girl came out not five minutes later, her hair now up in a braid and herself glad in a white tank top with a Growlithe print, a pair of black jeans and red trainers, “Mitsuko I…” Zevran began but a warning glare in his direction from the tanned girl quickly shut him up, before she disappeared out the door of her bedroom, her feet carrying her quickly down the stairs and past her mother, “morning mom bye mom, no time to talk, Zevran destroyed my alarm clock…again!” the girl explained in her hurry before the door shut behind her.

“She forgot her backpack” the mother noted, looking towards the Rattata backpack, her daughter had placed by the door the evening before so it would be ready for today, “seems like lateness runs in this family” the mother mused before she turned towards the stairs and headed up, she had to have a talk with her Manetric.

Meanwhile outside the girl was running down the path from her home in Pallet town towards the Pokémon lab, Pallet town had grown some since the girl’s father had returned as the Unova champion years ago, even the house where he lived had become bigger, something her father had chosen to do when he found love in his old childhood friend Sarah Jones and they had their daughter, the daughter that was currently running like a bat out of hell towards the lab.

“This is going to end just like father I just know it, all the true starter Pokémon will be gone and I`ll end with something newly caught Pokémon…I just hope it won`t be as bad as his Pikachu was to begin with” The said to herself, remembering the stories his father had told her of his adventures as a Pokémon trainer, which had only fueled her desire to become a Pokémon trainer herself…right up until the day her father vanished without a trace at her tenth birthday, this was what had held her back the past 8 years, before she had decided that she would go on a journey, not only because she wanted to for her love for Pokémon but because she hoped that she could somehow find something the police had missed when they were searching for her father and her mother had been ecstatic when she told her she would go on her journey now and preparations had been made, which now came to nothing thanks to Zevran destroying her alarm clock.

Her thoughts straying elsewhere Mitsuko had stopped paying attention to where she was running, which send her running straight into something and sending her flat on her butt, looking up quickly and about to give whoever it was in her way a go, her mouth quickly snapped shut when she discovered she had arrived at the lab and that she had run straight into Professor Oak.

“I was starting to wonder when or if you`d get here at all Mitsuko, seems like being late is a family weakness” the Professor said with a gentle smile, the professor had been her father rival when they were younger, before the two had become fast friends, he had been a trainer at first, started his journey at the same time as Mitsuko`s father before he had become a Proffesor working in the different regions, before he had returned to Pallet to take over from his grandfather who had passed away 4 years earlier after he suffered from a heart attack.

“I am sorry Professor I would have been earlier but Zevran destroyed my alarm clock again…please tell me you still have a Pokémon left for me” Mitsuko said, looking at the professor with pleading eyes causing him to laugh, “well I don`t have any of the normal starters left, however I do have a Pokémon I think you`ll like, come along” the Professor said leading Mitsuko into the lab.

The professor led Mitsuko to the table where the Pokémon was kept and gestured to the fourth Pokeball on table before quickly covering his ears, knowing what Mitsuko`s reaction would most likely be when she revealed the Pokémon inside the Pokeball.

Mitsuko reached out a shaky hand, picked up the Pokeball and threw it into the air and in a white light a Growlithe materialized from the ball, looking at Mitsuko with curious eyes before it cowered when Mitsuko squealed in delight, “EHHH; I GET A GROWLITHE, SO ADOARABLE; EHHHHH” she squealed before noticing the Professor with his ear covered and the cowering Growlithe, “sorry” she said, her cheeks taking on a light red twinge of embarrassment, “it`s all right, I know you like Growlithe” the Professor said with a smile, as Mitsuko turned back to watch her new Growlithe, kneeling down to eye level.

So...you’re my new master?” the Growlithe asked, “yes I am little one” Mitsuko said, watching the Growlithe stand and look at her proudly, “I promise I`ll make you proud of me master, I won’t abandon you no matter what” it said before jumping down from the table, “Shall we go then master?” it asked as Mitsuko stood back up, “yes, we have a long way ahead of us and I need to go back home and pick up my backpack, forgot it in my hurry. Bye Professor Oak” she said before leaving the lab and heading back towards home.

“I need to give you a name…hmm…judging by your voice you’re clearly male so…how about Severus?” Mitsuko asked looking at the Growlithe walking beside her, “I like that name, it sounds cool Master” the Growlithe said, “and will you please call me Mitsuko” Mitsuko asked, “I prefer to call you master, it feels wrong to call you by name Master” the Growlithe said, earning a slight sigh from Mitsuko, “oh well, wouldn`t want to make you uncomfortable Severus” Mitsuko said.

The two arrived at Mitsuko`s home a short while later, Mitsuko had spent the walk explaining to Severus why she was going on this journey and Severus had listened, hanging on Mitsuko`s every word, “this is my home” Mitsuko said as she opened the door to the house and walked inside with Severus in two.

“Hello Mitsuko, is that your new Pokémon?” her mother greeted the two when they stepped inside, “yes, this is Severus” Mitsuko said as she picked up her backpack and put it on her back as her mother walked up to her, “I`m so proud of you from doing this honey” she said giving Mitsuko a hug, “I know mom, now Severus and I had better be off before we lose too much daylight, I’d rather not travel in the dark. Bye mom” Mitsuko said before she and Severus left her home once more.

So where too first Master?” Severus asked, “We have to go to route 1 and look for new Pokémon for our team and then we will arrive in Viridian city” Mitsuko said, “let’s go Severus” she said and the two headed of, taking their first steps on their Pokémon journey
