1 The Adventure begins

The unfamiliar room but familiar posters on the wall and cute figurines on the study table, Vidal woke up to the fluttering sound of the window curtain.

Growl!

His stomach shows some sign of being empty.

Vidal checked the figurines on the table for some time and unable to withstand hunger got out of the room.

Following the stairs down, on the left room, a table was decorated with a plate full of sandwich and scrambled eggs and glass of milk.

Immediately he emptied the glass of milk, and with the plate in one hand he exited the house.

The sunny and bright sky, light wind; it was the perfect weather.

Crash!

Suddenly, someone pushed his hand carrying the plate and it dropped.

"Sorry brother, I am in a hurry."

The boy wearing a green pajama ran away muttering something under his breath.

Surprisingly, Vidal was also wearing the same type of pajamas.

Suddenly his body trembled, a wave of memories flashed in his mind.

Ha… Ha… ha…

"Is this a dream?" Vidal shouted.

"Vidal what's wrong?" a woman in a ponytail wearing a pink short-sleeved jacket, a purple skirt, and light green shoes came out.

"Nothing mom, it's seems Ash is late?"

"Oh. I am going after him. You change your clothes and meet me in the Professor Oak laboratory." Delia Ketchum walked towards the laboratory with a bag in hand.

"So I am older brother of Ash Ketchum. Just Four years older than him. And it seems the previous me has no interest in becoming a Pokémon master."

After digesting the memories, Vidal went to his room. Putting on grey T-shirt, a long sleeved blue Jacket and black jeans and black shoes.

"No wonder even my face matches Ash quite a lot." Vidal looked at the mirror for a time.

Finally leaving the house he moved towards the Professor Oak lab.

Zi..Zi..Zi

Vidal saw a dozen of people getting electrocuted, "Looks like Ash had already chosen his partner."

"This is for the day, this for night…" Delia was handing Ash his clothes and other necessities.

"A Pikachu, Ash looks like you got some brain after all."

Delia turned around to give him a look.

"It's a very good choice. My brother is the smartest," Vidal said while averting his eyes away.

"Vidal wait for me to become a Pokémon master. After that…" Ash said clenching his fist.

"After that…" Vidal said rubbing his hands.

"Nothing at all. I will show you my Pokémon."

Delia laughed looking at her sons.

With two brothers, it is normal to exchange some fist and kick occasionally, isn't it?

"Well, just take care of yourself. Maybe I will start my journey someday? Don't cry when you lose to me then," Vidal gave a big hug to Ash.

Ash nodded with excitement in his eyes.

Finally, the journey of Ash begins with Pikachu.

When Ash left, "Mom, I will comeback after talking to Professor Oak for some time."

"Ok. Don't be late for the lunch." Delia left the laboratory.

Vidal has also his plans, "I am different from before. I can start my adventure too."

He entered the laboratory and found oak, "Professor, Can we talk for a moment?"

"Come sit. What do you want to talk about?" Oak asked.

"I want to start my adventure too. So I was hoping…"

"Finally, you decided. Good. Good. It is good for young people to explore and gaining experience," Professor Oak said with a smile, "But it will take some days for the arrival for starters Pokémon to arrive."

Vidal shook his head, "No, professor I want to start with different Pokémon."

Professor Oak thought for a moment, "Why don't you visit me in the afternoon, then I will arrange some Pokémon for you to choose."

Vidal has been helping Professor Oak in the laboratory for over a year, so it is normal to get some benefits.

"Go home and tell your mother about your decision." Oak said.

Vidal left the laboratory.

...

On the launch table, Vidal told about his decision to start Pokémon Master Journey.

Delia was happy hearing this, "It is good that you decided to go. I am very happy today."

They talked for a bit.

"Let's go I will show you some Pokémon." Vidal and Delia followed Professor Oak to his backyard.

Varieties of Pokémon were playing and running in the field.

Rattata, Weedle, Caterpie, Oddish, Tauros, etc. most of this Pokémon were common type. He looked around and moved towards the small pond.

"I want to choose this Staryu," Vidal said without hesitation.

Professor Oak was surprised for a moment, "Oh, Is there some specific reason."

"Although Staryu is a normal water type with normal strength and moves, but after evolving it will be different thing."

The explanation was short and Oak instantly understood what Vidal means.

Staryu evolved into Starmie, which is a water and psychic type with significant boost in attack and mainly speed. With the knowledge of Pokémon world in back of his mind, it won't be wrong to say Vidal is more knowledgeable than Oak regarding Pokémon.

Professor Oak nodded, "Well than it is decided. Take this." Six Pokeballs and a Pokedex were handed to Vidal.

Taking one Pokeball he threw it towards Staryu and it was captured without any struggle.

Unlike Ash, Vidal has different plans for his adventure, "So Professor is there any water stone with you?"

Professor Oak stared at Vidal at him for a moment and finally said, "It will take two days."

"Thank you. How about this, I will help you gather all the Kanto Pokémon in your backyard and you can sponsor me for this journey," Vidal hit the main weakness of Professor Oak.

Professor Oak eyes lit up, "You visit me in the morning, and the water stone will be ready, and we can discuss about the sponsorship as well."

Vidal and Delia laughed awkwardly at the excitement of Professor Oak.

Delia was busy cooking different dishes for Vidal and Vidal was in his room.

Vidal tapped the Pokeball and Staryu came out, "Hello I am Vidal. From today we are going to be partners." He put his hand forward.

Although a little cautious, Staryu finally touched Vidal's hand.

Vidal walked out of the house and started to check the moves learned by Staryu.

Water gun, rapid spin, swift and tackle were the currently useable moves learned by Staryu at the moment.

Vidal got plans to develop Staryu before evolving it, if he was able to increase speed and strength of Staryu before evolving then what type of effects will it have after evolving.

Hydro pump, psychic, surf is among powerful moves than can be learned by Staryu, but Vidal want to focus on training common moves before teaching new moves.

But directly pushing Staryu to different training will decrease his friendship and favorability, which should be taken into account.

But the scene in front of him shocked him.

Bam!

"Hydro pump"

What is happening?

He kneeled to pat on Staryu, "You are awesome than I have expected. Tomorrow we will leave on a adventure, we will get stronger together."

Staryu nodded and the gem in the middle of the body sparkled.

"This…"

Vidal felt an extreme fighting spirit from Staryu.

'Is this because of my origin of transmigrator? Or this Staryu was like this from the beginning?'

Vidal remembered Professor Oak asking him the reason to choose this Staryu.

His questions can only be answered by Professor at this time.

"Then the upcoming training will not be easy, are you ready?" Vidal asked again.

Vidal's question was answered by a water gun to his face.

"I guess you are ready..."

Vidal entered house and now have to wait for the night to pass and the adventure will finally begin.
