Chapter 1: Jake

Jake was an aspiring would-be trainer who hadn’t turned 10 yet. Rumors had spread that many of his friends had received their Pokemon and started their journeys, but Jake was the youngest in his age group. His birthday came, and wished his family goodbye. Jake had a unique goal; he wanted to find new ways for Pokemon to improve our lives.
He arrived at Professor Oak’s lab. “Hello, you must be Jake.” Said the Professor.
“That’s me! Which Pokemon do you have for me to chose from?” Jake asked in response.
“Well,” the Professor answered, “As you know, other children who turn 10 years old also become Pokemon trainers. Some of these have come before you, sometimes within days. I don’t always have the time to get more Pokemon for brand new trainers. In fact, just yesterday I had to give my spare Pikachu to a young man, and that didn’t go too well.”
“Oh, does this mean I can’t get a Pokemon today?” asked Jake in a sad tone.
“Well, I’ll tell you what,” said Oak. “I have an extra Pokeball, and I’ll show you how to catch a Pokemon with it! You’ll be able to keep the Pokemon too.”
“Alright, lets go!” responded Jake.
Jake and Professor Oak travelled north to Route 1. “Over there to those trees, Jake.” Professor Oak led Jake to a patch of tall grass. “Bug Pokemon are more common under foliage. They’re also very simple to catch.”

*Duunu Duunu Duuh!*

A Wild Weedle appeared!

“Okay Jake, wait for it to hold still, and throw the Pokeball.”

Jake took the Pokeball out of his backpack, and held with patience, waiting for the Weedle to hold still.

Jake throw’s the Pokeball!

The Pokeball shook repeatedly. After 5 shakes, the Pokeball stood stationary.

Jake captured Weedle!

“Wonderful! Let’s return to my lab.”

Back at Professor Oak’s lab, Jake was feeding his new Weedle. It enjoyed the leaves and food it was eating.
“Well Jake, this Weedle seems to like you a lot.” Said the Professor. “It is time to start your Pokemon journey.” The Professor reached into his coat pocket and took out a Pokedex and 5 Pokeball’s. “Take these, they are tools for Pokemon Trainers.”
“Thanks Professor.” Responded Jake. “I appreciate every thing you’ve done for me, and I will take good care of this Weedle.”
“Keep your eye out on other trainers from Pallet Town, whether they are new, or old. You each represent the same town.”
“I will Professor! I will!”
Jake took one last look at his town while standing on the hill; with his partner Weedle standing on his shoulder.
“Well Weedle, it’s you and I for now, I can’t wait to see and capture a lot of cool & unique Pokemon!” Jake turned without looking back, with optimism for the future. Off to the distance, some kilometers away, a trainer spots him!
“Aha!” said the Trainer.
“Bul-ba!” said his Pokemon.
