Quick Witch's Note: Now that we have that out of the way, onto the story!

Pokѐmon Journey I: Violet's Trial

Chapter 1: My Precious Gem

Violet's Point of View:

"Violet! Get up! Get up! Today's the day! Get up! GET UP!" At the sound of my brother's yelling I turned over in my bed and tried to get more sleep and ignore him. "Come on Sis! Get up! It's our thirteenth birthday today!" With his next words heard louder and clearer then the first time, I finally gathered up enough desire to sit up in my bed. I rubbed my eyes tiredly and yawned. I was still very tired, but for today, it was worth it to get up so early.

Today was the day of my (and my brother's) thirteenth birthday, the day that we were able to leave home and become trainers without the signature of a parent (that and our mother all but begged Vince and I to wait until today.)

My brother Vincent Vilmos, or Vince as I like to call him for short, sat on the edge of my bed before me. I could see him now more clearly through my tired eyes. He was dressed in the new clothes that our mother had made us. His red and white hat with a pokeball symbol at the front of it was placed over his messy light brown hair that covered some of his dark brown eyes while his black shirt was under his sleeveless red and white jacket. His jeans were long and covering over some of his sneakers and his yellow/gold backpack was already over his shoulders.

"Come on Violet! Alex's already headed over to Professor Oak's!" My brother shoved some clothes I had set out the night before into my arms and hurried out of my room to let me change. I heaved myself from my bed and headed to my bathroom to change while I bet Vince was stuffing his face with food before he headed over to the lab to beat Alex and get dibs on first pokemon there.

I washed up and took a quick shower before I placed on my new clothes my mother had made for me. My clothes consisted of a red shorts overlapped with a skirt (or a skort) and a sleeveless blue shirt with a black rimming around the base of my neck. I pulled on my long blue socks and, once my hair was dried, I put on my white hat with a red pokeball on it.

I walked out of the bathroom and yawned once more as I headed down stairs. Just as I had predicted, my brother was no where to be seen when I arrived down the stairs at the small bowl of oatmeal in my spot at the table. I sighed and took my seat at the table and took a bite of my breakfast.

"He already took off, didn't he?" I questioned lightly under my breath. My mother from across the room at the sink only laughed and nodded, turning her back to the dishes to face me. Like my brother and I, she had light brown hair that came down like smooth silk and her eyes were a light brown and a blue rag shirt was on her body with a ripped up pair of jeans for the chores she planned to do for the day.

"That he did Honey, but who would think otherwise? He's just like your father was, impatient and always flying through life," she replied with a sigh and looked down to her meal before her and then she flicked her eyes up to me. "You promise to call back home every now and then, right Violet?"

"Of course Mom, I'll do it whenever I can, at a reasonable hour of course." I took another bite of my meal and she walked over to the seat next to me and she lifted a side back the same color as my brothers out from under the table and placed it beside me. I gapped at it and slowly pulled it closer to me.

"Open it," she encouraged me. I did as she asked and within the bottom of the bag were a badge case and my trainer card. My official items that proved I was a trainer; now all I needed was a pokemon to start on my journey.

"Thanks Mom." I leaned over and hugged her in my arms and she hugged me back just as tightly. When I pulled back she kissed my forehead and took my empty breakfast dish away from me.

"Go on, the boys are waiting on you. And remember, don't let life fly by you, but don't fly through life." I laughed at her words, oh how they were so true. I picked up my side bag and placed it over my shoulder before I walked out the door and closed it behind me, I wouldn't be back here for a while.

I slowly made my way up the road to where the professor's lab was on top of the hill, where he and his two grandchildren lived, Daisy and Alex. The building itself was large enough for the three of them, a two floor building that held the entire lab on the first floor and the living area and kitchen and bed rooms all on the second.

I knocked on the door when I arrived at the front and I instantly heard shouting on the inside. It suddenly moved before me and I saw Daisy was on the other side. Similar her younger brother, her hair was topaz-light brown like in color and her eyes were a bright hazel. Her hair was long and held back by a green clip and she wore a green dress that came down to her knees with a white lab coat that hung over her shoulders. She smiled at me sweetly as she opened the door to let me in.

"Come in Violet, you brother and Alex are already fighting." I snorted at this and walked inside with her just to hear the yelling increase and see my brother and Alex arguing before the three pokeballs in the back room with Professor Oak.

"Those idiots…" I muttered.

"I know," Daisy whispered soothingly. She placed a hand on my shoulder to help. She called out to her grandfather "Grandpa! Violet's here!" The boys stopped their arguing as I approached and suddenly looked at each other with angry glares before huffing and turning away from each other.

Alexander Oak, or Alex as Vince and I like to call him, was a young man that had recently turned thirteen, but his grandfather requested that he wait for our thirtieth birthday so we could all travel and be rivals between the three of us. His sister must have made the clothes he's got on (which actually looked pretty nice.) His spiked bronze/ginger hair artfully covered his head and framed his face and light hazel eyes. He was dressed in a black short sleeve 'v' cut shirt with a folded collar around the side and back of his neck and purple long pants with black sneakers.

"Finally Violet," Alex didn't seem too happy that I took my time, but that's fine with me, he's always been pretty impatient. "Gramps we're all here now; I want to pick my pokemon now! I'm fed up with waiting and listening to this guy here!"

"Be patient Alex, you'll get one in a minute." He coughed slightly into his hand before he looked the three of us over. "Now listen to me you three, today is the day you'll all be heading out into the world as pokemon trainers. You've all received all the items you need for your journey other then your pokemon. I've had my assistant set up three of the pokemon we've been raising here for the three of you, of the three we have are a charmander, a squirtle and a blubasaur. Now, since there are three you and you most likely will fight for who gets to go first, I'll decide for you. Our guests will go first-"

"Gramps! No fair!" Alex shouted.

"Hush Alex, you'll get a pokemon," Professor Oak told him, slightly irritated. He turned back to my brother and I. "But we also have a lady present. Go ahead Violet; you choose first."

"Professor!" my brother shouted. I sighed and walked forward while the three argued. I stepped right before the three pokeballs and opened the first one I saw. The white light appeared from it, but something else was happening, sparkles came out of the pokeball too before it reviled the shape of a charmander, the red skinned lizard pokemon with blue eyes that stands on its back legs and has sharp claws and a tail with fire on the end of it.

But this charmander, it didn't look like it was supposed to, its skin was gold in color and its eyes were like amethyst crystals. The two of us looked at each other for a moment before the charmander walked over to me and sniffed my legs. I smiled down at it and soon enough, it smiled back up at me.

"NO!" the professor shouted and quickly hurried over to the two of us and snatched the pokemon right off the floor and into his arms. "I'm sorry Violet, this pokemon isn't the correct charmander that we were giving to one of the three of you, we're trying to understand this unique color scheme and see if it adds any help to the pokemon's strength. My lab assistant must have mixed up the pokeballs before he left."

"No fair Gramps! I want that shiny charmander!" Alex yelled.

"No I want it!" my brother snapped and the two went at it again while trying to make their way closer to the charmander.

Charmander really didn't like all the attention on itself and didn't like it wouldn't be allowed to go with me. It promptly screeched "CHAR!" and blasted the professor's face with a burst of fire. The professor, from the affects for the blast, fell over and the three of us stood there stunned. From the professor's limp arms, the charmander wiggled itself free and jumped into mine. From in my arms it smiled up at me and curled into my chest.

"I'll take Amethyst then." The others all looked at me like I'd gone crazy when I said that, other then Daisy and the charmander, who looked at me questioningly. "Well, I think you should have your own nickname, one that really defines you, and when I first saw you, I saw your gold skin and your amethyst eyes, you're like a precious gem. Do you like that nickname?"

The charmander suddenly had a gleam in its eyes and nodded to me and I walked over to where its pokeball was and picked it up. Amethyst was my pokemon and I was its trainer, and no one was going to separate us.

"Heh, that's a stupid name," Alex snorted. Amethyst didn't like the sound of that either and promptly blew fire at him as well like it had at his grandfather. Alex crashed to the floor in an awkward position and my brother looked at the two of them nervously before he shakily like looked over at the two of us.

"Do you have any problems with Amethyst's name?" I questioned him harshly. Amethyst promptly shouted and angry "Char!" in agreement with me and my brother shook his head nervously. I turned away from him and walked toward the door. "I'll be back later Professor! I'm going out with Amethyst!" I didn't hear a reply and didn't wait for one before I walked out the door with my new pokemon in my arms.

"Hold on Violet!" I waited at the front door before I saw Daisy come around the hallway and stopped at the door behind me.

"What's up?" I asked.

"Take these with you." She handed me off a couple potions and a map. "Amethyst might get hurt while you're out and about or training, so you best have a few of these on you. The map will show you how to get to the next city, you might want to train against some wild pokemon up along the way to train and come back later. If you could, would you run a small errand for me?"

"Uh, sure. I'll do it. What do I have to do?"

"In the next town up north, Viridian City, there's a package at the market that just came in for my grandfather. I was planning on picking it up, but I'm going to help clean up the lab and my family after Amethyst got to them."

"Opps…" I rubbed the back of my head nervously and Amethyst looked guilty over at the girl before us.

"Oh don't worry about it you two, in all honesty, Grandpa and Alex had it coming. Alex shouldn't have said anything and Grandpa shouldn't have tried to keep little Amethyst here against her will. I mean, I know she looks very pretty, but that's no reason to keep her locked up."

"Amethyst is a she?" I questioned. I looked down at the gold pokemon in my arms. "Wow, I did really well with naming you when I didn't know your gender."

"Char!" she agreed and waved her arms around in the air.

"Anyway, head over to the next town and grab that package and then bring it back," Daisy reminded me. "When you get back, Grandpa and Alex will both have an apology waiting for you."

"Oh, you don't have to do that." I grinned. "We got our revenge when Amethyst blasted their faces."

"Char, char!" Amethyst cheered.

Daisy laughed and walked back inside. "I'll see you later Violet! Good luck with your training!" She gently closed the door behind her and I set Amethyst down on the ground next to me.

"Let's go then girl." My charmander agreed and we headed out to the forest ahead.

"Amethyst use scratch!" My charmander bound forward in a leap and hit the pidgey with a critical hit. "That's my girl! Keep it up!"

We've been out in the woods for probably an hour or two traveling on the short path from here to Viridian City. Along the way we've already passed by a few rattatas and a few pidgeys that have put up a fight with us, but Amethyst beat them every time and had been getting stronger for it. She soon didn't even have to work as hard as she had when we first started out.

"Char! Char!" She cheered and ran back over to my side.

"Great job girl, now let's keep moving. We still have to get to the next city, and it should be over that hill." My charmander jumped on her little feet and raced toward the hill I pointed at. "Hold on Amethyst! Wait for me!" I hurried after my little pokemon and soon joined her as she stood still on the top of the land mass.

When I got to the top I saw what she was looking at. The city below was small in size, but it was still large enough that it had a few many houses, a pokemon center, a market and a gym. I could see that two paths led out of the city, one to the west and one north, besides the one I was on.

"There's the first city on our journey girl, Viridian." Her eyes sparkled in excitement as we looked at the city from a distance. "You ready to go?" My charmander bound forward and ran toward the city, but before she got far, I picked her up in my arms.

"Char?" she questioned me.
"Sorry girl, but I don't wanna lose you in the city, it's a lot bigger then home. Let me hold onto you for now, okay?" Amethyst nodded and we started to make our way into the city.

We easily entered the small city and passed a house or two that were on the edge of town before we made it to where I saw a pokemon center was. I knew that Amethyst would need some healing after all the battling she's done so far. I headed toward the red building first so we could heal her up quickly. Once inside there was a few people who were hanging around and about and a woman with pink hair and a light pink nurse uniform who stood behind a counter with a chansey at her side.

"Good morning! Welcome to our pokemon center. Would you like me to heal your pokemon?" she questioned.
"Yes please, just this one." I handed over Amethyst to her and my pokemon looked at me worriedly. "Don't worry girl, I'll be waiting right out from for you here."

"We'll bring your charmander back out in just a moment. Please take a seat and we'll be right back with you." I nodded and took a seat right in front of the door and watched as the nurse took her into the back of the building.

I pulled out my map in the mean time to look over my route to see where I was heading later on. I had to head further north from here to reach the next city that had a gym since the one in this city is apparently closed for the time being. It was noted on the news a while back so everyone got the message. So the next city after this would be Pewter City, just after I pass through the Viridian Forest.

I suddenly saw a flash of gold and looked up from my map. I saw my charmander walking toward the door with another woman that was someone other then the nurse. Her clothes looked a lot like mine and it almost looked like there was a wig on their head.

"Amethyst?" I called. My golden charmander halted in her path and looked over in my direction. "What are you doing with that woman?"

"Come along little charmander, we have to be on our way," the woman in similar clothes to me said to my pokemon.

"What are you talking about?" I hissed and the woman jumped in her place as I walked over. "What are you doing with my Amethyst?"

I suddenly saw relief fall over her body. "Sweetheart, I don't have any jewelry on me."

"I'm not talking about a jewel; I'm talking about my charmander!" I snapped. I reached for my charmander and picked her up in my arms. "You stay away from her!"

"Don't you mean my charmander?" the woman questioned angrily.

"Amethyst." My charmander angrily looked at the woman before yelling "CHAR!" and firing a breath of fire at her.

"What is going on here?" The nurse and her chansey walked over to the three of us and tried to figure out the situation.

"That imposter tried to steal my pokemon!" I shouted and pointed at the woman that was now burnt. The nurse gasped and looked over at the woman next to us.

We looked over at the woman who fell over on the ground. The clothes on her body became ashes and showed another uniform on under them. It showed me that it was none other then a thief from that horrible gang of Team Rocket.

"I'm calling the police," the nurse told me before she rushed off to her desk. I watched the woman on the ground while the nurse did so. Suddenly the woman jumped from her place on the ground and stood before me. She seemed quite pissed and threw out a pokeball toward me. A zubat came out and flew around up.

"Amethyst! Ember!" From my arms my charmander blasted the zubat with a large breathe of fire. It didn't last a moment as it fell to the ground and was out. The woman back up in fear and raced off after collecting her pokemon back in its pokeball.

I watched her run out the door and head for the forest north of here. She was heading somewhere that I knew I'd be facing later on, and I bet she'd be better prepared then.
