Trevor was walking down the stairs, with his Charmander following behind him, when he noticed Ryan and White bowing to his mother. They felt guilty about destroying Trevor's bedroom, as a result of the battle between Trevor and White.

"I'm truly sorry that we caused such a ruckus." Ryan stated.

"U-Um, we'll clean it up..." White said softly, feeling guilty about it was her idea of having a Pokémon battle indoors that caused the mess in Trevor's room.

"Clean it up?" Mary stated, with a sigh and a calm expression on her face. "Oh, it's fine, it's fine! I'll take care of it later."

Ryan and White stopped bowing, just as Trevor walked over to where they are.

"You sure, mom?" Trevor asked, puzzled by his mother's reaction. "I mean, I feel like we should at least help clean up, since we were the ones that made the mess to begin with."

"Don't worry about it, Trevor." His mother reassured him. "Besides, you would only be sleeping in that room for one more night anyway, since you would be going on a journey with your Charmander. Am I right?"

"Yes, you are." Trevor agreed with his mother.

"Now then," Mary said, as she grabs a plate of sandwiches and fruit and places them on the table. "let's have lunch now. After lunch, you and Ryan can have a Pokémon Battle out in the yard, while I clean up the mess in your room. Sound good?"

Ryan and Trevor nodded, while agreeing with her idea. Mary smiled and fill the bowls with Pokémon food, for their Pokémon.

"Good. Now, let's eat." She stated.

Those words made White jumped into the air, almost hitting Ryan with her hand that was ascending upward, as she jumped. She was really hungry right now.

"YES!" FOOD!" White exclaimed, while rushing over to the table, and immediately, started chowing down on the sandwiches.

"Hey!" Ryan shouted, as he and Trevor rushed over to the table as well. "Leave some for us!"

The group started eating their sandwiches, while also having some fruit along with them. As they chew their food, they drank it down with some orange juice. The Pokémon were also enjoying their meal. The happy expressions on their faces best shows that they were all satisfied with their meal. It seems everyone was enjoying their lunch.

30 minutes later, lunch was over. There were no fruits or sandwiches on the plate. Their cups weren't fill with orange juice anymore. The food in the Pokémon's bowls were completely empty. Everyone's stomachs were completely full. No one could eat another bite.

Eventually, the three friends got up from their chair, as they stretch out their muscles, with their Pokémon mimicking their trainers' actions.

"Boy," White started. "That lunch was so good! Thanks Ms. Hallett!"

"You're welcome, White!" Mary said, with a smile on her face.

White then turned to Ryan and Trevor, as they finished stretching their muscles out.

"Alright," She proclaimed, with a tone of excitement in her voice, as she grabs both Ryan and Trevor's hands, and then, drags them out into the yard. "it's battle time! Come on, let's go!"

---

Once they were outside, White lets both of the boys' hands, as they stand right in front of him. Both Ryan and Trevor's faces expressed confusion on what just happened. Ryan turned to White and his face expressed annoyance with her, forcedly dragging them outside.

"White!" Ryan shouted. "We have feet, you know! You didn't have to drag us out here! We could have just walked on our own feet!"

"Sorry, but you two are Slowpokes! You needed someone to get you out in the yard fast, and I was the person for the job!" She responded, while sticking her tongue out at Ryan.

Ryan's face became red like a tomato. He wanted to scream at her, but his frustration disappeared when Trevor grabbed his shoulder.

"Calm down, Ryan!" Trevor stated, while maintaining a calm tone in his voice. "We're in the yard now, so let's have that battle. Unless, you want to battle White instead?"

The redness in Ryan's face quickly vanish, as he takes a deep breath, then turns to look at Trevor.

"Okay," He said. "let's battle, Trevor."

"Now you're talking!" Trevor shouted in excitement. "Charmander, let's go!"

The flame Pokémon nodded, as it quickly rushes over to its trainer.

"Squirtle!" Ryan shouted, as he turns to his Pokémon, who appears to be battle-ready. "Let's do this!"

The turtle-like Pokémon nodded, as it rushes over to its trainer as well. The two trainers then stand away from each other from a good distance, as their Pokémon rushed out onto the battlefield. These two Pokémon were ready to battle. White stands in the middle, out of the field, acting as a referee for the battle. They have begun their battle, as Ryan calls out the first attack.

"Alright, Squirtle! Tackle!" He commanded.

The water Pokémon withdraws its head into its shell, as it charges into the flame Pokémon's stomach with great speed. It makes contact and lands a hit upon the fire Pokémon, causing a cry of pain to come from the flame Pokémon's mouth.

Trevor growled in frustration, before calling out his counterattack.

"Charmander, use Leer!" He shouted.

The flame Pokémon then looks at the opponent and glares at it with an intimidating look on its face. The glare causes Squirtle to become intimidated by it.

"Calm down, Squirtle!" Ryan yelled. "Don't get intimidated by it! Stay strong!"

"Now, use Scratch!" Trevor commanded his flame Pokémon.

Charmander rushes towards the water Pokémon and lands a hit on the turtle-like Pokémon with its claws. The attack causes the water Pokémon to roll backwards on its shell. However, it quickly got up and was raring to continue battling.

Time for us to use a move that's super effective against them! Ryan thought, as he calls out his next move.

"Bubble! Go!"

Squirtle then releases clear bubbles out of its mouth and fires them towards the opponent.

"Counter with Ember!" Trevor countered.

Charmander releases blots of fire from its mouth and launches them towards the incoming water attack. However, the fire attack was quickly overpowered by the bubbles, as the blots of fire are extinguished by the bubbles. Trevor growled, as the bubbles managed to make their way towards Charmander and hit it in the stomach. The attack causes the flame Pokémon to stumble backwards and it's on its back.

"Charmander! Are you alright? Can you still fight?" Trevor pleaded with his weaken Pokémon.

Charmander let out a soft roar, as it got back up on its feet. However, it was breathing heavily. If it gets hit by Bubbles again, then it's all over.

"How is Charmander able to continue battling after that super effective Bubble attack?!" Ryan yelled, expressing shock towards the flame Pokémon surviving from that water attack.

"Well, Ryan," Trevor answered. "my Charmander is really special. It can endure whatever you may throw at it and still able to continue on fighting!"

Ryan smirked and noticed the heavy breathing coming from both Pokémon. His Squirtle was also showing signs of exhaustion. I better end this now, before it's too late! He thought, as he calls his final attack.

"Bubble again, Squirtle! End this! Now!" He commanded.

Squirtle, once again, releases clear bubbles out of its mouth and fires them towards the opponent.

Trevor growled as he saw the incoming bubbles. But then, he noticed that Charmander was doing something. It appeared that the flame Charmander was removing the dirt off the ground with his claws. Suddenly, an idea came into Trevor's head. He smirked upon this thought, as he shouted his counter attack.

"Charmander! Use Dig to dodge!

Both Ryan and White are surprised to hear what Trevor shouted out. Then, Charmander starts digging underground, using its claws, while avoiding the water attack with success. Even after it dodged the attack, Charmander remained underground, preparing for the next attack. Ryan was shocked that Trevor's Charmander can use Dig. His Pokémon was nervously and cautiously keeping an eye out for Charmander's attack. All of a sudden, the ground, underneath the water Pokemon starts to shake, and then, out from the ground, came Charmander as it lands a direct blow to Squirtle with its claw.

"Oh no!' Ryan yelled out of panic, worried for his Pokemon.

"Now, finish it with Scratch!" Trevor shouted out.

The flame Pokemon then scratches the water Pokemon with its claws, causing Squirtle to fall down on its shell. There were swirls in the turtle-like Pokémon's eyes. The battle had come to a close.

"Squirtle is unable to battle! Charmander wins! And the victor of this battle is none other than Trevor Hallett!" White exclaimed with pure excitement and enthusiasm in her voice.

Charmander smiled brightly as it realized that it had won this battle. Trevor walked over to his partner and bend down to its level. The trainer smiled at his Pokemon, and then, rubs the flame Pokémon's head, which earn a happy growl from it.

"Great work, Charmander!" Trevor praised his fire type. "You did an amazing job out there! I'm so proud of you!"

Charmander smiled at his trainer for his praises over his performance in battle. Ryan walked over to his knocked out Pokémon and sighed.

"You did your best, Squirtle." He said, while reaching for Squirtle's Pokéball. "Now, take a good long rest."

Then, a beam of light, from the pokeball, hits the unconscious water Pokemon, allowing it to go back into its pokeball. Ryan then walked over to where Trevor was standing. His face didn't express annoyance with this defeat though. Instead, his face was expressing awe and wonderment.

"I may have come away from my first Pokémon battle with failure, but...This intense excitement... I've finally become a Trainer!" He proclaimed, as he held out his hand, only for Trevor to shake it, out of good sportsmanship.

"We all have finally become Trainers, Ryan." Trevor corrected his friend's statement. "You, me, and White have accomplished the first step in achieving our dreams. And as we all go our separate ways tomorrow, my only hope is that we all meet up again and battle again, to see who has gotten stronger."

"Yeah." Ryan responded. "I like that idea."

"Me too!" White jumped into the discussion.

Trevor smiled at his friends' answers towards his idea of meeting up and battling against each other. The sun was beginning to set, so White and Ryan leave Trevor and returned to their own homes. They would tell their families about what happened today and they were happy that they would be going out on a journey to find themselves and get stronger along with their Pokemon.

Eventually, Mary was able to clean up Trevor's room, which is good since he needed someplace to sleep. He was laying in his bed, with his eyes wide open. Charmander was curled up next to him, sleeping without a care to the world. Trevor smiled, and then, looked out through his window. He watched as the night sky was filled with bright stars, as they light up the night sky. Stargazing always help ease Trevor's nerves and stress from the day.

Before his father died, he had told Trevor that when he passed on, he would become a star and that he'll always be watching him from the heavens above. He will always with be Trevor and will always be watching him, no matter where he is. This has always kept Trevor from letting stress and anxiety get the best of him. He has always kept control over his emotions, trying his best to not let negative thoughts cloud his mind.

Trevor continues looking at the stars from his window. Then, all of a sudden, Trevor sees a shooting star. He closes his eyes, and then, makes a wish. After a few moments of silence, he opens his eyes and takes one last look at the stars, before letting sleep take over his mind.

Dad, I promise you, I will make you proud. I will by becoming a Pokémon Master! Trevor thought, as he closes his eyes and falls into deep slumber.

Tomorrow, he will leave Pallet Town and begin his journey with Charmander, Once the journey starts, there's no going back. Whatever happens on a journey, will change a person's life forever.
