The FireRed/LeafGreen/WaterBlue Chronicles

Chapter I

The Adventure Begins

Hello, welcome to the world of Pokémon. My name is Samuel Oak, and I am a Pokémon Professor.

This world... is inhabited far and wide by creatures called Pokémon.

For some people, Pokémon are pets. Others use them for battling. As for myself, I study them as a profession.

But this is not my story. This is a story about three teenagers who's very own Pokémon legend is about to unfold. A world of dreams and adventures awaits...

Red Jackson opened his eyes and stood up. He looked around in his room. The place was actually tidy for once. His mother had wanted him to clean it up before he left.

As he walked down the stairs toward the front door, he felt a sting of bittersweetness.

He looked up at the photo of his father. "I guess it's finally time, huh? I'm actually going off on my own adventure."

"Are you going off on that adventure without saying 'bye?"

His mother was standing behind him, leaning on the wall.

"Of course not, Mom. I'm just excited to get going."

The two embraced in a long hug, and Red's mother kissed his forehead.

"Come on, Mom," he complained, "I'm thirteen now. I'm too old for the forehead kisses."

"Red, you're my only child. You're never going to be too old." she said. "You know... you look so much like your father."

He grinned proudly.

"You know what?" his mother asked while walking over to a cupboard.

She pulled out a red cap and dusted it off.

"Here," she offered, "take his old traveling hat."

Red took the cap in his hands and stared at it. He looked up at the wall again. There were several photos there. Most were of him and his mother, but a few had his father in them. One of the photos was of his father as a teenager. Wearing the same cap Red was holding in his hands.

He put it on, smiling proudly.

"Thank you, Mom."

His mother started crying. "I'm sorry, Red. I'm just so proud of you."

Red opened the door.

"You think you're proud of me now?" he asked. "Just wait until I'm the Champion!"

Madison Blue was woken up by her alarm with a smile on her face.

The thirteen year old girl stood up and looked over at the mirror on the wall, giggling as she noticed how unkempt her hair was. She grabbed a brush and started combing her hair.

Her nice clothes were resting on a chair. Blue knew she had to look her best today.

This was the day she had been looking forward to for a long time.

This was the day she would receive her first Pokémon.

As she walked out of her room she grabbed the white hat resting on her desk.

When she came downstairs she noticed the kitchen table. On it was a plate with sandwiches, and a glass of oran berry-juice.

Her parents were already sitting by the table, eating their own sandwiches.

"You guys made breakfast?" Blue asked, pleasantly surprised.

"You're going away for quite some time, young lady." her father replied.

"The last thing we want is for you to leave the house on an empty stomach" her mother added.

Blue grabbed a sandwich and gave her parents a hug each. "Thank you. You're the best."

She walked to the front door and put on her shoes. "See you later. Love you."

Green Oak woke up. He put on his black shirt and spiked his gingerish brown hair with hair wax.

He walked downstairs and almost bumped into his older sister.

She had her nose stuck in a magazine, reading about the latest fashion trends.

Green rolled his eyes and kept walking to the front door.

"I'm leaving now." he told his parents, who were sitting in their living room, watching TV.

"Don't slam the door, honey." his mother replied.

"I'm thirteen, mother. I know I'm not supposed to slam the door," he answered, before he slammed the door on his way out.

Pallet Town was a small, quiet place. In fact, it was one of the smallest towns in Kanto.

There were only eight residences, which is why Prof. Oak had decided to set up his lab there.

With few people around, the Pokémon living in the nearby wilderness would be more prone to acting
