Since its your first chapter and fic, I'll go easy but everything is to help not be mean.
Your length is ok but it could be longer and I am going to tell you ways on how to help that.
Description: You need to describe the surroudning areas, people, things, pokemon, buildings, everything pretty much. Be very creative with this.
Another thing with this was the battle. Make it interesting. What do the attacks look like? What were the pokemon's expressions? What happened when the attack hit? Think about if you were watching the show or game. What do the attacks look like on there and if you do one here, describe what it looks like.
Things in your fic went a bit to fast. She wakes up, sees the lab, then shes at the lab, gets Vulpix, and battle. That was really fast and you didn't put in everything inbetween all of this happening. What was it like walking to the lab? Was she scared? Excited? Nervous? What did she think or feel when she battled? Ask yourself those questions as you right. You want to make your writing sound fun so people enjoy it.
Grammer/Spelling. For beginner you did pretty good with spelling. BUt you did have some grammer misakes. Here I will show you one,
That should look like,"Well there are only two pokemon..but one of them got mixed up with Charmander..so all I have is Vulpix and Totodile"Porf.Oak muttered,pointing at two pokeballs.
"Well there are only two pokemon...but one of them got mixed up with Charmander...so all I have is Vulpix and Totodile," Porf. Oak muttered pointing at two pokeballs.
See the slight differance? At the end be for the end quote mark I put a comma. You always put a comma there unless you use a ! or ?.
For a starter your ok. Your fic really isn't original except with Vulpix, thats a cool pokemon. Make this fic interesting and different from a trainer fic with side plots and such. I'll keep reading to see how you do. See ya!
