And now for something different...
This is the story about a young girl named Kelly. Kelly is a short, darker blonde haired girl and has two Eevees named Mars and Venus. Mars, a male Eevee, is very playful, and Venus, a female Eevee, is more laid back and relates better to Kelly. She is only 9 years old but has special permission to have pokémon travel with her. Kelly is unsure of what she wants to do in life, but one thing is clear, she loves to care for and play with pokémon. She kisses her mom and dad goodbye and heads out in Celadon City.
“Kelly, where are we going?” asks Mars.
“Wherever this road leads. I want to explore the world and meet all kinds of pokémon!” Kelly replied joyfully.
“It’s a pretty big world. How are we going to see it all just by walking?” Venus asks.
“Hmm. Ah, we’ll rough it, right Mars?”
“Veee!”
“So, where does this road take us?”
“Hmm, I’m not sure.” Kelly continues walking down the road until she stops at a sign. “Uhhh, this says. Uhhh. Hmm. What’s that word Mars?”
“Sa. Saf. Saffron. Saffron City.”
“Oh, that’s right. I remember hearing about that city. It’s a big place. Should we go there?”
“I don’t know. How are we going to sleep and eat?”
“I think pokécenters let young trainers eat and sleep for free now,” Venus cut in.
“That’s perfect. If we can make it to Saffron by night, we can stay at the pokémon center!” Kelly smiles and starts to run down the road leading to Saffron City.
“Heh, Kelly, wait for us!” Her two Eevees run to catch up with her. The trio heads toward the large city.
“Hey, little girl.”
“Huh?”
“Yeah, you.” A boy walks out from behind a bush. “You have pokémon. C’mon, let’s have a little battle.”
“Uhh, what do you mean?” Kelly wasn’t sure how a pokémon battle went, so she tried to talk herself out of it.
“You know what I mean. Let’s see, you have an Eevee huh, I choose my Mankey, hahaha!”
Kelly was very scared of the pig-like pokémon. Mars and Venus growled at the Mankey. “Venus, what do I do?” she whispers to her Eevee.
“Don’t worry Kelly, me and Mars will handle it. Just call me out and have me tackle Mankey. Got that?” Kelly nods.
“Umm, ok kid, you want to battle, then I choose my Eevee Venus! Venus, uhhhh, tackle attack.” Kelly didn’t exactly have the appearance of a trainer, which is why the boy chose her as an opponent.
“Your Eevee can’t beat Mankey. Mankey, fury swipes attack!”
Venus dodged the small paws of Mankey and rammed into the pig. “All right, I won!” Mankey got back and tossed Venus back towards Kelly. “Huh, oh no, Venus!”
“What, are you even a real trainer. Oh forget you, I don’t wanna fight a stupid girl novice anyway. Mankey return!” The boy gave Kelly a snotty look then ran off.
Kelly wanted to cry. She wondered why she left home in the first place. “{sniff} Oh Venus. I don’t like this world. It’s scary and full of mean people.”
“C’mon Kelly. Let’s get to the pokémon center. The people there should be nicer.”
Kelly sobbed softly and walked onward to Saffron City. They finally made it there just as the sun was setting. “We made it!” She looked around for the pokémon center. “But, where’s the pokécenter?”
“Excuse my miss, are you lost?” The older gentleman could tell Kelly had been on a long journey. Her eevees studied his figure.
“Uhh, yes. I can’t find the pokécenter {sniff} and I’m hungry.” She started crying softly.
“Oh, now don’t cry little one. Uhh, the pokécenter is just down this road here. Go about two blocks. It’s on the left.”
“{sniff} Thank you mister.” Kelly and her Eevees followed the man’s directions and made it to the pokécenter. “Wow! We made it here! Let’s get dinner.” They all walked in and had dinner. Soon after, Kelly got a room for the night and instantly fell asleep with her two Eevees cuddled together on the floor. She dreams about all the wonderful adventures she hopes to have on her tour of the world.
