"Pidgey!Spearow!"

Red awoke to the unsettling cries of flying type Pokemon.

'ah, nothing better in the morning than a headache. Still, I can't believe I'm in the Pokemon world!'

He got up and peered out his window, squinting at the glaring sunlight. A smile slowly bloomed on his face as he felt the real warmth of this world. Red went over to his bathroom after making his bed. He swiftly undressed and jumped in the shower, after taking a long, steamy shower, he wiped himself off and wore his clothes. As he brushed his teeth while looking into the mirror, he couldn't help but admire his new looks.

'I sure am handsome, huh?'

Mason never stood out in his old life, well not in a positive way. He definitely stood out, but as an outcast, not someone special. Being handsome and capable in this life truly made him feel like he had something to offer, like he was someone.

Red walked out the bathroom and went downstairs to eat breakfast, the heavenly scent of eggs and bacon in the morning was always enticing.

'Thank you, Arceus for creating all our beautiful Tepigs and Pidgeys. I will never take food for granted ever again.'

Although he attempted to laugh it off, the fact that he was eating Pokemon unsettled him, but he slowly accepted it, especially with his 11 years of life on here.

'Today is the day!'

"Whats all the excitement about?" His mother asked him.

"Oh, just a new game coming out!" Red faked his enthusiasm.

"Oh, you kids and your video games." His mother chuckled.

"I have a gift for you Red"

"Hmm? What is it?" He spoke with his mouth full, causing laughter from his mother.

She stood up and walked to her bedroom, bringing out a wrapped present. She set it down on the table where I could feel and unwrap it.

"Go on, open it"

Red slowly opened up the gift and saw the signs on the box, It was the newest phone model!!

The P-Phone X, all the kids were dying for it and Red, being from a middle class family with no father never expected to be a kid with the latest model.

A smile bloomed on his face as he was close to tears.

"Mom! We can't afford this, how and why did you get this for me?"

His mom sighed and looked at him lovingly.

"Son, something big is gonna happen today, just think of this as my farewell gift. Now hurry up and transfer your card and information from your old phone."

He got up and hugged his mother, and although he loved his old mother, he couldn't help but love his new one the same way. She was just such a wonderful mother and he felt lucky to know that someone cared for him this deeply. While transferring his phone, Red wondered about what kids would think at his school if they saw his phone.

'On second thought, no. It would probably get stolen.'

He got up and went upstairs after talking and thanking his mother for half an hour, they only stopped their bonding time due to her shifts being now. 

It was the weekend and Red had nothing better to do, so after an hour of exercise he opened up a movie on his flat screen and began playing with his new phone. This phone was truly high tech! It entered the user based on face recognition, fingerprint, and iris scanning. Any method was available, It even had holographic display. His mother must have worked many extra shifts to obtain this for him, he couldn' help but feel warm and thankful.

While watching a Pokemon movie(Not anime Pokemon, actual IRL acting Pokemon movie, remember they actually exist, cuz sometimes I forget myself) Red got a phone call. It was from an unknown number and while he was thinking of ignoring it, he remembered what today was, his beginning day, the day where he would begin his legend. Red answered the call expecting it to half be Oak and half be a random caller. It turned out to be Oak. 

"Hello Red, we haven't seen each other in a while, care to stop by the lab for a moment?"

Ensure your favorite authors get the support they deserve. Read this novel on the original website.

Red knew that this moment would decide his fate so he took hold of it and pushed forward.

"Of course professor Oak, if there's help you need, you can ask me anytime. I'm usually free so it's not a bother."

"hahaha! What a polite boy, nothing like my grandson, oh how I wish he was even a portion as nice as you. It would make life much easier."

'Damn old man, who do you think is nice again? All jokes aside, he seems to really like me.... don't tell me he swings that way, and that low too?'

"Alright, I will be right there professor!"

Red hung up quickly and sat there for a minute thinking.

A smile soon broke out on his face as he thought of the upcoming adventures in the future, he was ready for anything the world would throw at him.

..............................................

Leaving the house, Red quickly kissed his mother goodbye and ran towards Oaks lab. Greeting the neighbors and townspeople he passed, he quickly found his way to Oaks lab. Standing right in front of this building that would determine and decide his destiny, he took a deep breath and steeled his resolve. He marched straight on and into the building.

Oak was sitting on a chair typing up on his computer, running his programs and setting his devices and gizmos.

'God knows what kinky shit he does with that stuff he makes.' Red joked. 

"ah Red, my boy. I have been expecting you. Please do have a seat while I get finished. I will be but a moment."

"Alright then." Red smiled brightly.

"Hey, loser!"

"Huh? Me?" Red looked around, only to find Blue sitting in the lab, also waiting like him.

"Yeah you loser! What are you doing in my Grandpa's lab?"

"I could ask the same thing."

"No, you can't actually. He's my grandpa so being in the lab is a normal thing, and besides, I am becoming a trainer today!"

"Really?"

"Yeah!"

"That's great! You're a big boy now aren't you, your grandpa doesn't need to hold your hand anymore? That's great!"

"Red, I'm warning you! Stop mocking me!" Blue was full on mad. This pampered child was always at the top, even now he was one of the best, if not the best among his peers. This caused large amounts of arrogance to form and his personality took a turn.

 "Ok, ok. I get it, calm down. Damn!"

'This kid sure has a temper. Be lucky your grandpas here or otherwise I would beat your ass myself.'

"Alright, boys."

Red cringed at the way Oak said the word boys, as if he was a woman.

"I have a favor to ask of you both, and don't worry I will pay you back for your efforts in the form of Pokemon. Actually, ever since I was young, it has always been my dream to collect and record data on every Pokemon in the world. And although I have been to many places and collected many Pokemon, I am still far from all. I have grown old and weary and realization has dawned upon me that I cannot finish this task alone, so I ask you from the bottom of my heart. Will you catch every Pokemon for me, and complete my Pokedex?"

Red was prepared to say yes, but Blue intervened.

"Whats a Pokedex?"-Blue

"Ah, I forgot to tell you boys." Oak pulled out a red device which looks much classier and slicker than the original Pokedex. 

'At least I don't have to go around, hauling a big ugly 20th-century looking piece of technology, this new version screams modern and 21st century!'

"This is a Pokedex, it will record the data of all the Pokemon you encounter. I require you to boys to fill it if you please would. And although catching is much more favorable, pokeballs are fairly expensive so I won't force you to go to those lengths. But please, fill this out."

"Alright!" Red nodded vigorously

Oak laughed at his enthusiasm.

"Thank you, Red."

Oak then turned to look at Blue, who was still contemplating. 

"What do we get in return as payment?"

"Ah, I will gift you both, rare and powerful starter Pokemon. And although they won't be the strongest early on, they carry the most potential out of any Pokemon."

"Then let's get to it old man!" Blue rudely shouted. 

The professors in the lab just shook their head at this rude, loud, and arrogant boy. 

"Alright follow me, lads."

'So it's lads now huh? This guy sure is a creep, I don't feel safe around him. All jokes aside, who should I choose? Should I go with the OG Charmander or go Squirtle? Screw Bulbasaur that piece of shit. Lamest Pokemon ever. Period'

Oak opens out a glass container, bringing out 3 pokeballs, setting them up on a counter. 

"Alright! In here reside 3 powerful Pokemon, and each one of you gets to choose only 1! So choose carefully for they will accompany you for the rest of your life!"

"Heh, you can go first loser, I am not a greedy bastard like you, I don't need to cry about which one I choose."

"hahaha!" Red laughed extremely hard.

'OMFG this naive kid, he is such a bullshitter! HAHAHA'

"You think I don't know what your doing? You wanna pick a counter against me after I pick right?"

"huh? uh- no no uh...."

"hahaha caught you there didn't I. I don't really mind, you are weak so even if you have an attribute advantage, you will still lose!"-Red

"Don't underestimate me!"

Red walked up and didn't think long before he picked Charmander!

'OG is the way to go! But honestly its hard to find good fire-types in Kanto so it's best to choose Charmander who is one of the strongest Pokemon, period.'

"Charmander? Hahaha, a wonderful choice Red!"-Oak

"If you choose fire, then I will choose grass!"

'Hahaha! caught em' hook line and sinker! It's not hard to fool a kid. I got one obstacle out of my way. We will constantly have rival battles so I don't want the type advantage to pose an issue, too bad he's that naive to believe in bull shit pride.'

Blue walked up and chose grass, we both called out our Pokemon.

"Bulbasaur, I choose you!" Blue threw out his arm, releasing a  green little creature.

"Charmander, I choose you!" Red threw out his arm, he too released an orange, slightly bigger creature. 

This orange lizard had a burning flame on its tail, and although it was in its 1st stage, it still looked quite menacing!

'HAHAHA! This is all real! I am a Pokemon trainer! Thank you, god, Thank you!'

"Would you like to compare our power?"-Red

"Hmph, you are way too weak to try to challenge me now! Try again later, for now, I have Pokemon to catch" Blue said as he grabbed his Pokedex, newly obtained pokeballs, and Pokemon and walked out cooly.

'Damn, that was a cool exit.'

Red also grabbed his stuff and after promising Oak once again and thanking him, made his way out.

"Now onto a new adventure!"
