Chapter 1

My new home

The moving van was filled with the uneasing scent of moving boxes. Then the truck abruptly stopped and the moving company’s VIGOROTH took the boxes into our brand new house in Littleroot Town. I entered the house, I saw the VIGOROTH putting everything into place. Mom told me to set the new clock that my dad got me. I went up to my room and set the clock. My mom came up and told me the movers were done. I said, "Wow that was fast!" then she went back downstairs. I followed her, she told me to check out our neighbor’s house. On my way there I saw a POKéMON lab I thought, maybe later I could check out the local professor. I went up and knocked on the door.

"Hello," said the squirly woman who answered the door, "are you Allie? Our son Brendon would like to meet you. Please, make yourself at home. Brendan is upstairs in his room working on his manuscripts."

"I thank you very much for your hospitality but I don’t wish to stay long. I’m sorry if I sound rude but I just have a lot to do today and I have to…"I said breaking off.

"I completely understand and I didn’t take you to be rude, you’re a very polite young woman, if you don’t mind my asking how old are you?"

I giggled slightly under my breath. "I’ve been alive for thirteen years, Mrs…"I said "Birch, Gloria Birch." She replied. "Mrs. Birch." I finished. "Please wont you call me Gloria." She said.

I walked up the stairs into Brendan’s room. He didn’t pay any attention to me.

"Hey, You, BRENDAN!!!"I said.

Rather flustered Brendan replied, "What! Oh, the new neighbor. Sorry, hello my name is, uhh… Pro…fess…or, uhh Brendan, uhh…" interrupting, I said, "well its nice to meet you Prof. Brendan Birch." "Yeah, uhh…Birch, hey! I was supposed to, uhh…" he started. Teasingly, "Say that." I said. "Hey!! Stop that!" He said, irritated. "Okay Mr. BigMan." I said while giving Brendan a flirty little kiss on the cheek.

I left the Birch family home on that note only to hear the scream of someone being chased by ZIGZAGOON. I decided I’d try to help.

"Help! You there, in green, you look like you have potential. Take a POKéBALLS from the bag and ward off that ZIGZAGOON down there. Quickly!!" said the man, who for some reason reminded her of Brendan. "If you say so." I said picking up a ball marked MUDKIP. I was well aware how to battle. "MUDKIP, I chose you" I cried throwing the ball into the air. MUDKIP came flying out of the ball and the battle begun.

"Thank you for all your help Miss…" the man began. "Rammi, Allie Rammi." I replied, "and you are…?" "My name is Prof. Birch" Birch said, "come with me."

So I followed him back to the lab I saw earlier, it figures, we went inside were he spoke, "if you would like you can keep that POKéMON that you battled so well with earlier."

PkmnTrainer Allie named Mudkip "Kip"

"Yes may I please." I pleaded to Mr. Birch, "Of corse you may."
