The Adventures of Magus Mindbender
Episode 1: The Beginning of a Legend
It is ten years before a young boy from Pallet Town named Ash
Ketchum gets his starter Pokémon and begins his journey. This
story
is about another young boy who is starting his Pokémon journey. He
is
from originally from Saffron City and moved to Pallet Town three
years ago. His name is Magus Mindbender and his goal is to become the
greatest Pokémon Master.
******************
A young girl with medium length red hair and a toned body
walks up to a small house and knocks on the door. An older woman with
blond hair opens the door.
The young girl asks with a smile, "Hello ma'am is Magus
ready
yet?"
"Happy Birthday Amy," she responds, "I'll see if he
is ready
yet. Would you like to come in?"
"Why thank you Mrs. Mindbender, I would love to," Amy says
sweetly as she walks past the older women and enters a nicely
furnished living room.
As Amy sits on the couch, Mrs. Mindbender goes up the stairs
and down the hall to a closed door. Knocking on the door, she
says, "Magus, Amy is here, are you ready yet?"
"Just a second Mom, I'm almost done packing." Shortly
afterwards, the door opens and a young boy with black hair and deep
violet eyes dressed in black pants and shirt, carrying a purple
backpack walks out. "I'm all ready to go Mom." Together
they walk
back downstairs.
Seeing them arrive, Amy jumps up and walks over to them. "Hey
Magus, all set for our journey?"
"You bet Amy. Bye Mom, I'll call you when we get to Viridian
City."
With a slightly worried _expression on her face, Mrs.
Mindbender says, "Be careful and try to stay out of trouble."
Giving his mother a hug, Magus responds, "Don't worry Mom,
me
and Amy can take care of any pokémon that attack us." Upon
saying
this, he opens the door and walks out with Amy following behind him.
"So Amy, what pokémon are you going to choose as your
starter?" Magus asks as they walk away from his house.
Amy looks over at Magus and says, "A Machop of course. It is
my favorite pokémon."
"Just thought I would ask," Magus replies as they cross the
road to get to Professor Oak's lab. Turning back, Magus sees a car
speeding towards him. As Amy watches on in horror, the car flies
through where Magus had stood. Looking around for Magus, she spots
him in a tree about twenty feet farther down the road.
Running over, she looks up and asks Magus, "How did you get
up there. I was sure you were about to be run over."
Freeing himself from the branches, Magus drops to the ground
and turns to Amy. "I have absolutely no idea. I saw the car and was
sure I was about to die when I felt this surge of energy and was
stuck up in that tree."
Shaken, they continue towards Professor Oak's lab and arrive
without any further incidents. Knocking on the door, a man in a white
lab coat and graying brown hair opens it and says, "You must be Magus
and Amy. I have your pokémon inside, if you please follow me."
Entering, Amy and Magus see that the interior is a cross
between a quiet home like any in Pallet Town and a state of the art
scientific laboratory. Following Professor Oak farther in, they reach
a case with a number of pokéballs on it. Turning to them, the
professor presses a button to unlock the case and gives them a short
rundown of the pokémon available. "As an experiment, the Indigo
League has decided to increase the number of possible starter
pokémon. We have one from just about every type. So which
pokémon do
you want Amy?"
Without hesitation, Amy reaches in and picks up the pokéball
with a small fist symbol on the front. "I want Machop," she states
matter-of-factly, then walks off to the side to let Magus look inside
the case.
Looking around the case, Magus begins to reach for the
pokéball with a blue water drop on it, but stops suddenly. Looking
confused, Magus' hand changes course and instead, grabs the
pokéball
with a small purple eye on it. Sounding as confused as he looks,
Magus says, "I think I'll take Abra."
Closing the case and locking it, Prof. Oak walks over to a
nearby table and picks up two pokédexs and ten pokéballs. "This
is a
pokédex. Think of it as a kind of encyclopedia of pokémon.
These, as
you most likely know, are pokéballs. They are used to capture wild
pokémon and are one of the most important things a trainer can
have."
Thanking the professor, Magus and Amy take the items and
leave the lab. Walking to the town limits, they stop and look out
back towards Pallet Town. Turning to Amy, Magus says, "This is the
last time we'll be in Pallet Town for quite a while." Saying this,
Amy and Magus turn away from their home and walk off to a path filled
with danger and adventure.
