To start your journey, for real this time.

You fidget with your backpack for what feels like the hundredth time as you stand there at the town limits. Sure you traveled a few feet farther from there to have your rematch with Blue, but that was merely rushing over to have a fight and not truly appreciating going on the first steps of your actual journey.

"Let's do this you two." You spare a glance down at your belt at the two poker balls clipped to it, before taking a deep breath and taking your first step in the tall grass.....

( ) ( ) ( ) ( )

"OH come on! Another one?"

Rattata. Rattata everywhere, and not a ONE Will let you catch it. You had to been trekking through route 1 for a good two hours now and you would be making great progress and would even have probably found yourself at Viridian city by now, if it wasn't for those stupid Rattata. You feel like every few steps another of this particular mouse type just keep showing up and start throwing rocks at you or seem to try and steal any of the stuff hanging from your bag. One even tried to steal the whole backpack itself. Squirtle luckily seemed to make quick work of this particular pest. Nailing it in the face with a water gun, hard enough to send it sliding back a few feet before getting up, shaking it's head, hissing at us, then running off.

"How are you two holding up?"

You had long since skipped over the returning them back to their balls, after the third consecutive battle in under a minute. It just felt redundant if you were just going to release them out again. For right now Charmander was standing on your shoulder and Squirtle was walking with you. After another battle or two there going to switch. But for now at least Squirtle seemed to use this as an opportunity to relieve some psychological stress, seeming to enjoy a little more than your fire type partner in attacking Rattata in a far more aggressive Manner. And let's not forget when the Pidgey show up. It didn't matter if they were taking a flight to escape or to fight the water type showed off his amazing aim taking each one of them out with a single water gun and shot like he was on the shooting range aiming at clay pidgey's.

"So I guessing if I'm wanting a flying type in my roster I'm going to need to get a Spearow, huh Ace?"

The Pokemon on your shoulder nearly shrugged and gave a slight sigh of exacerbation a tuft of flame escaping as he did.

You were broken from your questioning by the sound of a bike bell chime. You step off the road as shore enough, you see bike rider come at a steady pace. Stoping as they reach you and removing there helmet as they do. It as they do this you recognize them.

"Green? Is that you? I haven't seen you since you moved to Lavender town."

You smile as he gives you the same shy blush he always did, as he did you gave him a look over. He had let his hair grow out since the last time you saw him three years ago, for now at lest he had it tied up in a ponytail, his face and build was always geared towards an androgynous look but now his face had softened slightly to more beauty and less masculine, he had on a lime green high collar suit jacket with gold colored buttons and black pants leading to simple looking brown shoes, overall he looked very nice.

"Amber. It's so good to see you. Are you starting you pokemon journey? I'm actually heading over to Oak's lab right now. I got a package from lavender town and while I'm there I'm going to get my official starter."

You grin as he manages to keep eye contact with you the whole time even though you could tell your other features were calling on him to stare. 'Definitely a better guy then Blue.' You thought. So you decided to throw him a bone.

"Go ahead a look all you want Green I don't mind if a gentleman like you looks."

You turn your body to the side then tilt your chest a little to face him so he gets a good look at all of you. You weren't disappointed as his eyes take in every inch, and though he did give your chest a good stare his eyes were almost glued to your legs and ass for a moment. Finally after a a good 20 seconds he raised his blushing face back to face you.

"Um..th-thanks I know it would've been rude to stare without your permission, but it was very hard. You are very beautiful."

You just gave him a knowing smile and reached out and patted him on his head. He was always a little shorter then you by a head, something that despite both of your growth spurt's he hadn't been able to surpass. As he tries to calm down his blush he notices your Pokemon.

"So you choose a Charmander......and a Squirtle? Um how did you manage to get two of the Kanto starters?"

You wince slightly as you kneel down and pet Tank's shell, as he looked a little upset at the question, Something Green quickly picks up on and kneels down as well to pet his head.

"Long story short Blue is an ungrateful asshole who doesn't like losing. And is now on the trainer watch list."

Green gave you a shocked look before glaring at the road where he came from, giving you the impression that he had recently ran into Blue as well.

"I'm guessing he isn't aware he's on that list yet, or he maybe would have chosen his words more carefully."

You just raised an eyebrow at him and waved your hand for him to elaborate.

"He callanged me to a battle when he saw I had a pokeball on my belt. I guess he thought his two could beat my one easily, but he obviously never heard about the fact ghost-types are immune to normal-type attacks, so his Rattata and Pidgey just kept phasing through my Pokemon most of the time it just took a few uses of Hipnosis and confusion to take them out. He didn't take it well and started mumbling loudly about looking for some gullible trainers to trade with. I was actually going to talk to Professor Oak about that."

You both spend a good minute helping Squirtle, before Green got back on his bike.

"Well, I need to get to Oak, deliver the package, get my own starter, and tell him about his grandson. I'm really not looking forward to that last one. but it's got to be done. I'm going to be a little while before I get there but...when you get to Viridian.... would you wait for me I'd really like to, um ch-challenge you to a battle."

You smile as his face glows red seeing the challenge as what it really is, but unlike Blue you don't mind.

"Shore thing 'lady killer' but just so you know the steaks are the same either way, the winner is just the one in charge in the bedroom then."

His jaw drop was a nice ego boost as you start to walk off. You spare a glance behind you as Green rides off and see Tank and Ace looking at each other confused about what's going on.

"Come on you two, all these Rattata aren't going to beat themselves up."
