Leaving…
Once Zen and I had battled with the other new trainers, and healed up, we set out on our own path through Route One.
We saw plenty of Pokémon that would have many new trainers rushing to capture them, but we wanted to make the best team of them all. So we battled, built up our strengths and explored our weaknesses.
We did pick up a small ally for a while in an Oddish we traded a Rattata for. Without Oddish’s help we probably wouldn’t have beat Brock in Pewter.
But Oddish wasn’t happy with battling other trainers, so we let him go, we hope he never was captured again…
Zen is a sleepy Umbreon, I’m juggling his ball while he’s out…
WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE INANIMATE OBJECT?

Zen’s Pokéball, it’s special as it was my first one obtained.
At first…
Like any other trainer I started with one Pokémon in a normal pokéball. The professor that I spoke with before I started my journey was Professor Oak, a kind soul. I was one of seven that had to start their journey that year (I was a year late because of my family problems and subsequent move from Johto to Kanto with my mother). Aside from the standard three Kanto starters (Squirtle, Bulbasaur, and Charmander) he also had three Johto starters (Cyndaquil, Totodile, and Chikorita) and a special starter for the last to arrive, a loser’s gift if that.
I was the last to arrive, mainly due to my mother intercepting a gift that my father sent me for my journey, so I obtained the special Pokémon as my starter. I still cannot tell you how glad I am that I was late that fateful day, I got the best starter Pokémon of all.
… an Eevee.
