Chapter One: The Beginning

Jake POV

It is just a normal day like ever: the sun is rising in the horizon and it looks really beautiful. My name is Jake Coen, I'm nothing more than a fourteen years-old teenager with black eyes and hair and an average height. I was in the roof of my house like every day, I usually wake up in the dawn an after brushing my teeth I climb the roof and wait until the sun rises. Maybe you are wondering where I live, I will give you three hints: first, is a really big place; second, is a very expensive place; and third, it has a really good view of Twinleaf Town. If you give up I'll tell you: is a mansion in a hill.

Yes, I'm the son of a rich family. My father is a Pokémon researcher and he has his laboratory in the house. My mom is a cloth designer, and a really good one. Both of them are really good parents and people, they make a lot of donations and even with that they don't run out of money. I was watching the sun when I heard my mom calling.

"Jake wake up! It's already morning!" I chuckled, my parents don't know that I wake up before them. I climbed off from the roof and entered in my room trough the window. I acted like I was just waking up when my mother opened the door.

"Good morning, Jake!" "Good morning, mom" I yawned while rubbing my eyes.

"Is breakfast already?" "Yes go down and prepare your bag, today IS the day" She went out and I gasped.

I forgot that today was my fifteenth birthday; today my parents will let me become a Pokémon trainer. I smiled with this though in mind and started taking off my pajamas and started to getting dressed. I usually wear a sky blue suit with black shoes and a white shirt below. My suit is a costumed one; my mother designed it for me: the coat has only two buttons, one in the half and another in the chest. When I button them the neck and waist of my shirt are revealed. The back is long until the knees, and the silk is so light that it appears a cloak. The pants are the same, but they are a light tight so that highlights the fact that my legs are thin.

After getting dressed I went downstairs to meet my dad reading the newspaper. He put it on the table and said with happiness in his face "Good morning son, happy birthday!"

"Good morning dad, thanks!" I answered. My mom put the eggs with bacon on the table; we don't have a chef, and I think that we don't need one: my mom food is the best! "Thanks mom: delicious as ever" my mom smiled.

"Well, is almost time" she said "Son, come with me" my dad said.

I stood up and followed him to a nearby room, he turned on the lights and I saw that the room was his lab: the right wall was replete of capsules, in a desk on the farthest wall were microscopes, sheets of paper, pencils and next to it a bookcase; and in the another wall was a shelf with a lot of red and white balls that I recognized immediately: those were Poke balls.

"What I am doing here dad, I thought that I wasn't allowed to enter on your lab?" I asked.

He turned around and smiled "That was before. Come here and take this" he gave me a gold Poke ball.

"What is this? I have never seen a Poke ball like this one before" I was surprised of this.

"That son, is the legendary Mythical ball" "Wait! The Mythical ball, that one that can catch a Pokémon without failing and make a bond between those souls?" I was shocked: how my father got an artifact like this?

"Yes son, it is it. It went through father and sons and finally reached the thirtieth son of the bloodline: it belongs to you"

"But father..." I replied "...that means that I am the one destined to be the bond between Pokémon and humans?"

"Yes, that's right I waited until the day when you leave to pass it" I was crying of happiness

"Thanks dad, I will never forget this" "Better not" my mother entered in the room she was crying too.

"Good bye son, and good luck" my dad gave me a camp bag and a wallet full of money and with a credit card.

"We will miss you" my mom said.

"Me too mom, me too" I went to the front door and opened it, starting my trip to meet the destiny.
