Luna (Trainer Charmander) - Sunday, December 4, 2016 at 3:40 PM
Bulbasaur and Charmander were still talking when Ember and Piplup approached. Charmander had been eagerly developing a strategy with his Pokemon. The two of them had to hit the ground running, especially because Charmander wanted to be able to defend himself against other trainers. He wanted all the humans to take him seriously and he never wanted a human to mistake him or Bulbasaur as wild Pokemon. And then, Charmander noticed Piplup and its human trainer. "Char?" He questioned.
SaturnTomoe (Ember) - Sunday, December 4, 2016 at 3:42 PM
"Go on Piplup I know you want to play." Ember encouraged and the Piplup walked forward
"Do... you and Bulbasaur... want to play with me and Ember?" Piplup asked though Ember couldn't understand she had a good idea what was being asked.
Light (Wally) - Sunday, December 4, 2016 at 3:42 PM
His turn was getting closer and closer. It seemed like there were only two more girls that had to pick, and then he would get to pick too! "Alexa! Mary!" he called out with enthusiasm and eagerness in his voice. "What are you waiting for? Your first Pokemon awaits you!" he grinned.
Sailor Saturn (Alexa) - Sunday, December 4, 2016 at 3:42 PM
Excited? The word seemed too strong to describe what she was feeling. Sure, getting a pokemon of her own seemed like a great thing - pokemon were one of the few things that actually made her feel safe - but the acceptance of that pokemon would open the door to so much more. Her heart raced faster. Some Jenny she was turning out to be. How could she ever save people like her family if she couldn't even choose a pokemon?
"Yes!" Alexa blurted out. The word was meant more to convince herself than as an answer to Mary. But the burst of determination had to be used as quickly as possible before it fizzled out - and she didn't have long. Now was her chance, while everyone was distracted. "Um, I'd like to go next, please."
Luna (Trainer Charmander) - Sunday, December 4, 2016 at 3:46 PM
Wait, what, the Pokemon wanted to play now? There was important business to take care of! Charmander hadn't even got his Pokeballs, yet. Nor had he figured out how he was supposed to carry them, so he could capture wild Pokemon. Shoot, his plans were unraveling. He desperately needed something to carry the Pokeballs with or he would be stuck with only one Pokemon.
Bulbasaur looked expectantly at Charmander, who seemed wrapped up in his own thoughts. Charmander waved a clawed paw at the two Pokemon. "Go ahead, but stay where I can see you. I don't want any human to take you."
Charmander's Pokemon smiled and trotted off happily to Piplup.
JupiterThunderCrash (Black) - Sunday, December 4, 2016 at 3:47 PM
Black couldn't help but smile as she was handed her started pokemon, and immediately hit the button on the ball to let it out. In a flash of white, a confused Tepig stood in front of her. It snorted and looked around, and Black knelt down to be closer to eye level with it.
"Hey there..." she said, with more tact than she'd probably ever used before in her life. Tepig's eyes fell on her, recognizing the ball in her hand. It snorted again, hesitating. Black held out a hand, and after sniffing at it, Tepig rubbed against it with a grunt. Success! Black petted the pokemon, happy with the fact that it was officially
hers.
SaturnTomoe (Ember) - Sunday, December 4, 2016 at 3:48 PM
While Ember watched the two pokemon play she took off her backpack and sat next to the Charmander and went through her bag until she found a small pouch.
"Here Charmander." Ember said handing it to the strange new trainer
Sailor Saturn (Alexa) - Sunday, December 4, 2016 at 3:49 PM
At hearing her name, Alexa's sudden resolve quickly disappeared. Her shield of everyone being distracted was shattered now that she had been called out by another person. But now the Professor was looking at her, and expecting her to choose a pokemon. To turn back now would draw even more attention onto herself.
Oh gosh, what was she going to do? She tried to move forward, to force herself to go. It took all of her determination to actually move her feet. "Can I choose Totodile, um, please?"
Cosmos-Hime (Tamber) - Sunday, December 4, 2016 at 3:51 PM
Tamber felt an odd sense of peace, watching the group of pokemon interact over there. She began to pet Poppilo gently, and it began to nod off. Once it was fully asleep, it began to blow tiny bubbles of water out of its nose as it snored away. She couldn't help but giggle. This was her pokemon, after all. She'd have to look after it and make sure there were plenty more restful sleeps for it.
Sailor Mercury (Mary) - Sunday, December 4, 2016 at 3:52 PM
Well, the other girl had done it. She managed to walk up there and select a Pokémon. Mary's mind was still totally blank. As more trainers let their new companions out of the Pokéballs, she felt her discomfort increase. Every nerve of her body wanted to get out of there. There was something safe in a place with so many of the creatures. She couldn't even enjoy Wally's encouragement, as much as it was nice of him.
"W-why don't you go before me," she offered, pressing herself closer to the bookcase.
Luna (Trainer Charmander) - Sunday, December 4, 2016 at 3:53 PM
These humans continued to impress. Charmander cautiously accepted the small pouch that was handed to it. "Charmander," it said in thanks. It investigated it with one clawed paw before wrapping it around its waist. The small Pokemon had to wrap it around his waist a few times, but it fit. Well, sort of, it fit about as well as the hat fit. It wasn't going to fall off, at any rate.
Again, Charmander heard triumphant music playing in the background as he acquired his first item.
Sailor Saturn (Alexa) - Sunday, December 4, 2016 at 3:53 PM
Alexa has received her pokeball!Species: Totodile
Characteristic: Alert to sounds
Nature: Naughty
SaturnTomoe (Ember) - Sunday, December 4, 2016 at 3:55 PM
"For your pokeballs." Ember said pointing to the pokeballs then the pouch so the pokemon knew what she was saying
Light (Wally) - Sunday, December 4, 2016 at 3:55 PM
"Aw, that's really nice of you Mary! But I could never do that! Girls first!" he said with a grin. He actually felt rather proud at his resolve to go last despite his eagerness - he was determined to become a young man that his parents can be proud of.
"Isn't this so exciting?" he asked the pink-haired girl. "I know it's hard to choose just one, but it's going to be okay! You'll have many more in no time!"
Luna (Trainer Charmander) - Sunday, December 4, 2016 at 3:58 PM
Now all Charmander needed was enough Pokeballs to fit in the pouch, and then he could begin his journey as the best Pokemon trainer that ever was. Obviously, he was the best trainer already. There weren't any other trainers that were also Pokemon, so he had a great advantage, in theory.
Sailor Mercury (Mary) - Sunday, December 4, 2016 at 3:58 PM
Oh no. He wasn't going to do it. Mary couldn't think of any other delay tactics. She knew that becoming a Pokémon trainer was the purpose of running away from home to come here, but it really wasn't working out the way she may have hoped. This could have been because she didn't have an actual
plan in mind... But it was too late to worry about that now. Mary was already here.
She tried to blink back the tears that stung at the corners of her eyes.
"Yes. It's very exciting," she tried to say, but the words caught in her throat.
The blue eyes stared at the Pokéballs, trying to recall the remaining starters that lurked within. Her vision blurred the longer she stared at them.
SaturnTomoe (Ember) - Sunday, December 4, 2016 at 4:00 PM
Ember had overheard Mary and Wally and sighed walking over to Mary "How about I go up with you to get your pokemon?" She suggested seeing the tears
Sailor Saturn (Alexa) - Sunday, December 4, 2016 at 4:00 PM
Holding the pokeball in her hands was unlike any kind of feeling. She knew that, inside, was a little creature who would become her friend. But - oh no - what if the pokemon didn't want to be her friend? What if Totodile didn't like her at all? Perhaps meeting her new partner pokemon could wait...
Light (Wally) - Sunday, December 4, 2016 at 4:00 PM
If he didn't know any better, Wally would think that Mary did not actually share his enthusiasm.
But that was impossible. Why else would she be here, after all? He supposed she was just nervous. Well, he was a bit nervous too, after all!
Sailor Saturn (Alexa) - Sunday, December 4, 2016 at 4:02 PM
- Quote :
- Maple smiled gently at Mary. "It's okay. Take your time."
JupiterThunderCrash (Black) - Sunday, December 4, 2016 at 4:02 PM
Black scooped up Tepig easily, amazed by how warm it was. Fire types were supposed to be warm, right? She'd have to get a book or something. As much as she didn't like studying, a trainer couldn't be ignorant about Pokemon. Tepig looked startled for a second, and then calmed down when its view was adjusted. Excited to show off her pokemon, she looked around and noticed that Mary and Wally hadn't gotten pokemon yet. Was something going on?
Sailor Mercury (Mary) - Sunday, December 4, 2016 at 4:03 PM
Ember's suggestion was very nice, but Mary didn't quite hear the offer. The Pokéballs started to spin in her vision. Rowlet? Litten? Totodile? No, wait—Alexa took that one. Charmander? But there was a Charmander right here. With a Bulbasaur. There were Pokémon literally surrounding her. Tiny creatures with all kinds of abilities. It was like being in the tall grass all over again.
Cosmos-Hime (Tamber) - Sunday, December 4, 2016 at 4:04 PM
Tamber continued to stroke her new pokemon as she continued to watch the other trainers in the group go up to pick their pokemon. Was it just here, or were some of these trainers afraid? What was there to be afraid of? The pink haired girl seemed to be getting rather distressed over her choice-and not in a good way, either. This didn't seem to be the normal excitement a trainer would feel having to choose, and Professor Maple's intervention seemed to confirm that something was wrong. Tamber walked over to the group, her sudden movement shaking Poppilo awake. She held her pokemon outright, remembering how it helped Wally. "Pet?" She asked.
Sailor Mercury (Mary) - Sunday, December 4, 2016 at 4:05 PM
Mary looked over, her blue eyes settling on the Poppilo, and immediately let out a soft shriek.
She fainted.
Luna (Trainer Charmander) - Sunday, December 4, 2016 at 4:06 PM
Charmander was no longer impressed by humans.
SaturnTomoe (Ember) - Sunday, December 4, 2016 at 4:06 PM
"M-Mary!? Professor!" Ember hollered over everyone bending down as the piplup and bulbasaur ran over as well in worry
Cosmos-Hime (Tamber) - Sunday, December 4, 2016 at 4:06 PM
Poppilo yelped at the trainer's collapse and bounded out of Tamber's arms as Mary fell. Tamber's face paled as she gently shook her shoulders. "Hey!"
Light (Wally) - Sunday, December 4, 2016 at 4:07 PM
What happened? As Tamber approached with her Popplio, Mary shrieked and fainted...? Could it be that Mary was actually afraid of Pokemon? And he was pressing her into picking one - how could he have been so dense?
Sailor Saturn (Alexa) - Sunday, December 4, 2016 at 4:08 PM
- Quote :
- Maple jumped at the sudden movement, and rushed over to help the fallen girl. "Give her some space," she said to the other children as she got even closer. "Mary? Are you okay?"
Cosmos-Hime (Tamber) - Sunday, December 4, 2016 at 4:08 PM
Tamber backed away reluctantly, as Poppilo watched from behind her legs, almost guiltily.
SaturnTomoe (Ember) - Sunday, December 4, 2016 at 4:08 PM
Ember looked troubled she knew how this girl felt about being afraid of pokemon. "She's afraid." She said backing away looking at the professor no longer excited but worried
Sailor Saturn (Alexa) - Sunday, December 4, 2016 at 4:10 PM
Alexa watched with widened eyes at the fallen girl. See, it was exactly this type of thing that made her want to run far away from this adventure thing. She hadn't even left the building and already a tragic thing had happened. She felt a kinship to the other girl though - she didn't know what exactly had caused that reaction, but she knew that fainting never was caused by anything good. Perhaps she wasn't so strange in dreading this endeavor after all.
Sailor Mercury (Mary) - Sunday, December 4, 2016 at 4:10 PM
Mary's eyes fluttered open, looking around the place in panic.
WHERE WAS SHE? But then her eyes settled on the face of Professor Maple, and she remembered where she was. Mary scrambled to her feet, face bright pink with embarrassment, looking down at the ground. She couldn't
bear to face the other new trainers.
"I'm fine! I'm fine! I take that one!" she said quickly, almost tripping over the words, pointing at one of the Pokéballs without actually looking up at them.
Cosmos-Hime (Tamber) - Sunday, December 4, 2016 at 4:10 PM
Poppilo lowered its head, tears forming in its eyes as it whined quietly. Tamber took notice, and knelt down and began to pet it. It let her pick it up, as it wearily watched Mary bolt upright. "You sure?" Tamber asked, her voice full of concern.
SaturnTomoe (Ember) - Sunday, December 4, 2016 at 4:11 PM
"Mary, it's okay to be afraid, I was scared at once too." Ember admitted.
Light (Wally) - Sunday, December 4, 2016 at 4:12 PM
"I-- I'm sorry if I rushed you," Wally said to the girl, feeling a bit guilty.
Sailor Mercury (Mary) - Sunday, December 4, 2016 at 4:14 PM
She tugged on her hair, trying to hide her face behind it. "It's fine! I'm sure!"
Maybe the place could collapse and just take her out of this adventure now.
JupiterThunderCrash (Black) - Sunday, December 4, 2016 at 4:14 PM
Black wasn't sure whether to run over or stay back when Mary went down. Did she just faint? Was that girl alright? Oh wait, she was standing up again... She let out a breath. At least there was no need to call an ambulance, but did she really want to pick a Pokemon after falling like that? Shouldn't she lie down for a while?
Luna (Trainer Charmander) - Sunday, December 4, 2016 at 4:17 PM
Charmander was no longer impressed by the humans. No wonder they needed Pokemon to survive. That one wasn't going to last very long if Pokemon frightened her, though. Maybe she should stay home and become a ... builder of houses or whatever humans did in their spare time.
Bulbasaur tired of playing and came back to rest next to Charmander.
Sailor Saturn (Alexa) - Sunday, December 4, 2016 at 4:18 PM
Mary has received her pokeball!Species: Torchic
Characteristic: Highly curious
Nature: Gentle
SaturnTomoe (Ember) - Sunday, December 4, 2016 at 4:18 PM
Ember picked up Piplup and smiled seeing Mary got her pokeball.
Sailor Mercury (Mary) - Sunday, December 4, 2016 at 4:19 PM
Mary held the Pokéball hesitantly and gently, still trembling. She wished the ground would just swallow her up. She tried to back up and get out of the view of everyone else. Wally still had to pick, after all.
Light (Wally) - Sunday, December 4, 2016 at 4:19 PM
He still felt a bit concerned for the girl, but the excitement was taking over. It was his turn now! Well, he didn't want to appear
that eager though. He should allow some time after Mary chose.
"C-- could I choose now too?" he said after an impressive eleven-second wait period.
Sailor Mercury (Mary) - Sunday, December 4, 2016 at 4:20 PM
For some reason, she found herself edging her way back towards Alexa. Mary didn't say anything, or even look up, but she moved into that general vicinity with slow steps.
Sailor Saturn (Alexa) - Sunday, December 4, 2016 at 4:24 PM
Alexa hadn't been able to keep her eyes from watching Mary since the fainting spell. She hadn't believed a word of it when Mary said that she was okay. She recognized the tone of voice, the way that Mary was holding herself. But she couldn't help but to feel somewhat proud of this stranger - she had won against whatever demons were after her. Alexa smiled over to her, for once not thinking about all of the fears of how that smile could be taken in the wrong way, or how she'd mess up any kind of interaction.
- Quote :
- Maple still was a little worried about the girl who had fainted. This was certainly a day to remember. Never had a trainer fainted in her lab before, and there had certainly never been a pokemon pokemon-trainer before either. Professor Oak was never going to believe her.
She realized that little Wally had spoken, and she pulled herself back to the proceedings. "Oh, yes, of course. Please choose your starter."
Luna (Trainer Charmander) - Sunday, December 4, 2016 at 4:26 PM
Charmander was beginning to feel bored. He couldn't understand what the humans were saying and the only bit of excitement, one of them fainting, was already over. So, he began to plan his means of transportation. Obviously, he would get tired of walking at some point, so Bulbasaur would have to carry him. Bulbasaur suggested they try it out now.
"Char char", Charmander agreed, as he took a few steps backwards. And then, he ran forward and flung himself onto Bulbasaur's back. Regrettably, Charmander hadn't thought this through. Before he could pull himself up into a sitting position, his tail brushed against Bulbasaur's flank.
"Bulbasaur!" His Pokemon yelled, dashing forward and bucking its back legs. Charmander flew off with a short squeal of terror and fell onto the floor face first.
Sailor Mercury (Mary) - Sunday, December 4, 2016 at 4:27 PM
Mary looked over just in time to see the smile from Alexa... and once again she got that strange feeling that she had met the other girl before. It was a strange enough sensation to make her forget (a little bit...) about her humiliation. "Sorry if this is weird," she mumbled. "But... do I know you?"
SaturnTomoe (Ember) - Sunday, December 4, 2016 at 4:28 PM
Ember saw this with her Piplup and they both immediately started laughing at the two pokemon.
Cosmos-Hime (Tamber) - Sunday, December 4, 2016 at 4:28 PM
Tamber was jumpy after Mary's collapse, and emit a small squeak hearing something else hit the floor. She swirled around-Poppilo still in her arms and equally as alert-to see that the Charmander had fallen. She and Poppilo both emit a sigh of relief at the same time.
Light (Wally) - Sunday, December 4, 2016 at 4:30 PM
This was it! It took all of Wally's effort to maintain his composure - no wonder that girl felt so nervous too! This was a choice of a lifetime!
He felt his breathing get a little hard, but he would not let it get the best of him again. He took a deep breath and stepped towards the Pokeballs.
He had changed his mind fifty times by now, but he knew now. He had no need to pick a water or grass starter just so that he would have an early advantage. That would be such a cheap trick - not one of the champion of tomorrow! He would simply have to catch more Pokemon and take on the Gym Leader with his own skills, not only an elemental advantage.
And now he knew which Pokemon had the potential to be the best. He was really at awe by the trainer Charmander. If his own was anything like it, they would make the best team! After all, Pokemon were not pets or tools for battles! They should be equals, friends!
"May I have Charmander?" he finally said out loud.
Sailor Saturn (Alexa) - Sunday, December 4, 2016 at 4:32 PM
Wally has received his pokeball!Species: Charmander
Characteristic: Likes to run
Nature: Sassy
Luna (Trainer Charmander) - Sunday, December 4, 2016 at 4:33 PM
Charmander pushed himself off his face and rubbed his head with a clawed paw. "Chaaar", he groaned. Bulbasaur, blowing gently on his burnt flank, didn't rush to offer assistance. Obviously, that wasn't going to be the solution if Charmander was ever tired on their journey.
SaturnTomoe (Ember) - Sunday, December 4, 2016 at 4:34 PM
Piplup still stood there laughing at Charmander and Bulbasaur along with Ember.
Cosmos-Hime (Tamber) - Sunday, December 4, 2016 at 4:36 PM
Poppilo emitted an angry bark in Ember's direction; clearly upset that they were laughing at the pokemon's pain. Tamber petted its head reassuringly and walked over to the pair, kneeling down to see if she could help
Sailor Saturn (Alexa) - Sunday, December 4, 2016 at 4:36 PM
Alexa hadn't expected to be spoken to. Her heart started to race a little more, but she was able to calm it just enough to actually answer. "I don't know," she said, but she could understand the feeling. "I feel I know you too." She said it before she could convince herself it was too weird to say.
Light (Wally) - Sunday, December 4, 2016 at 4:36 PM
Wally eagerly released his very first Pokemon. In a flash of bright light, Charmander appeared. "Nice to meet you Charmander! I'm Wally," he said with a large grin.
"Char?" Charmander said, confused at first, then looked at the little boy and grinned too. "Chaaaaaar," he said, releasing fire from its mouth straight towards Wally.
Wally blinked, his face black.
Well no one said it would be easy, he thought.
Luna (Trainer Charmander) - Sunday, December 4, 2016 at 4:37 PM
Trying his best to make his accident go unnoticed, Charmander slunk back toward Bulbasaur. He offered a consoling pat to Bulbasaur's burnt flank. But, he pat a little too hard, because Bulbasaur swat Charmander with a vine and the trainer fell to the ground again.
Sailor Mercury (Mary) - Sunday, December 4, 2016 at 4:38 PM
Mary squealed and recoiled when the new Charmander attacked Wally, almost falling onto poor Alexa. She righted herself, shivering and rubbing her arms. She couldn't look over there. That was just
proof about how dangerous Pokémon could be!
"S-sorry!" she apologized yet again.
SaturnTomoe (Ember) - Sunday, December 4, 2016 at 4:38 PM
Ember and Piplup laughed harder at the Charmander trainer at the accident.
Luna (Trainer Charmander) - Sunday, December 4, 2016 at 4:38 PM
But, you know what made him feel better? Seeing a Charmander roast one of the humans. Charmander the Trainer laughed loudly and pointed a clawed finger at Wally. "Char Char!" He cheered, raising a fist in triumph as he cheered a fellow Charmander.
Light (Wally) - Sunday, December 4, 2016 at 4:39 PM
Charmander looked at the other Charmander in the room. "Char char charmander?" (Translation: Is that Charmander your Pokemon?") he asked Bulbasaur, taunting the other fire pokemon, even though he understood it was supposed to be a trainer, judging by the hat.
Cosmos-Hime (Tamber) - Sunday, December 4, 2016 at 4:40 PM
Tamber felt her face flush with anger as she turned to Ember. The two pokemon seemed to have things under control, as it was a small accident, and she stormed over to Ember and her laughing piplup. "Apologize." Tamber demanded, while her poppilo glowered at them.
Luna (Trainer Charmander) - Sunday, December 4, 2016 at 4:41 PM
Hey, he was the trainer, not Bulbasaur! Rather than denying it too quickly, Bulbasaur preened for a moment at the suggestion he could be the Pokemon trainer. But, Charmander dashed forward to stand in front of Bulbasaur. "Charmander! Charmander!" It protested loudly, pointing to the hat on his head. ("Obviously, I am! He couldn't be a trainer. He's my Pokemon.")
SaturnTomoe (Ember) - Sunday, December 4, 2016 at 4:41 PM
"I'm sorry it's just funny." Ember apologized looking at Tamber and the Poplio.
Sailor Saturn (Alexa) - Sunday, December 4, 2016 at 4:41 PM
Alexa startled, wondering why it seemed Mary was constantly bumping into her. Was this a normal thing for adventures? But she was beginning to draw a few conclusions and forced herself to speak. Don't think about it, just say it. Don't think, don't think. "I'm going to step away a little towards the back. Do you um, want to join me?"
She couldn't help but to pray she hadn't sounded too strange.
Light (Wally) - Sunday, December 4, 2016 at 4:42 PM
"Oh, are you making friends, Charmander? That's great!" Wally said.
"Chaaaaaar!" (Translation: "Suuuuuuuure!") it replied, then turned his attention back to the two Pokemon. "So how did you decide who's the trainer and who's the Pokemon? Did you flip a coin?"
Luna (Trainer Charmander) - Sunday, December 4, 2016 at 4:44 PM
Charmander had been prepared to defend his status as a trainer to humans, but he hadn't thought he would have to defend himself against other Pokemon. The hat was supposed to make it obvious! Charmander fumed and his tail burned a bit brighter as his anger rose. "Char charmander char char!" ("I picked him. There was no discussion, because I'm the trainer.")
Cosmos-Hime (Tamber) - Sunday, December 4, 2016 at 4:45 PM
Tamber scoffed at Ember and turned her head back to the group. Aside from the rude girl, the rest of the group seemed interesting-if not worrying. Wally and Mary seemed to be not in the best of health. Would they be okay?
SaturnTomoe (Ember) - Sunday, December 4, 2016 at 4:46 PM
Ember pretended to be hurt as Piplup snickered at the trainer being teased and Ember walked over to Wally "You chose Charmander huh?"
Sailor Mercury (Mary) - Sunday, December 4, 2016 at 4:46 PM
"YES," she replied, almost too enthusiastically. The back of the room sounded like a MUCH better place, to Mary.
Sailor Saturn (Alexa) - Sunday, December 4, 2016 at 4:48 PM
- Quote :
- Maple took in an overall glance of all her little trainers. It looked like most had made instant connections with their pokemon, and it made her smile even more at the sight of it. She hoped that each of them would be able to create a close bond with their chosen starter - it was the best part of being a pokemon trainer.
"Now, as I mentioned earlier, I have a bit of a treat. You see, I have been given these eggs as a secret donation from an anonymous source. I have no idea which pokemon are inside but I'd like each of you to choose one. The donator said they were to go to special trainers and I think you lot definitely fit the bill. I don't know when they will hatch, but they are yours to care for now, so please be gentle with them! If you care for them a lot, they'll hatch before you know it!"
SaturnTomoe (Ember) - Sunday, December 4, 2016 at 4:49 PM
Ember gasped and told piplup to wait there while she ran over to the eggs "really!?" She asked happily
Sailor Mercury (Mary) - Sunday, December 4, 2016 at 4:49 PM
Mary paled. Not only did she get a starter Pokémon... which she
still hadn't been able to look at... but also an egg? The thought made her queasy.
Light (Wally) - Sunday, December 4, 2016 at 4:51 PM
"Yes!" Wally replied to Ember. "After watching that Charmander trainer, he seemed like the perfect choice. I'm sure he will be great!"
Charmander scoffed at the other Charmander and caused his tail to burn brighter as if it was a competition.
Wally listened to the Professor. They would get an egg too?! That's practically being given a second Pokemon already! Excitement filled him up all over again.
SaturnTomoe (Ember) - Sunday, December 4, 2016 at 4:51 PM
"That's a good observation Wally." Ember commented
Cosmos-Hime (Tamber) - Sunday, December 4, 2016 at 4:53 PM
Tamber walked over to the eggs when Poppilo hopped out of her arms, and began to sniff an egg that rested on a blue cushion, before pointing to it with a flipper and barking at her happily. Tamber walked over and picked the egg up, Poppilo clapping it's flippers in excitement. "This one." She announced
Luna (Trainer Charmander) - Sunday, December 4, 2016 at 4:53 PM
"Human human human". The humans prattled on, but Charmander wasn't paying attention. The other Charmander was challenging him! With a growl, he focused the flames on his tail, and barred his teeth. Bulbasaur looked a little worried, but he took a step forward in support of his trainer. But, well, he didn't think he would fair all that well against a fire-type Pokemon.
So, yes, Charmander had no idea he was supposed to be picking an egg right now.
SaturnTomoe (Ember) - Sunday, December 4, 2016 at 4:54 PM
"I'll take this one." Ember said feeling them and Piplup sniffed and put her ear on it.
Sailor Saturn (Alexa) - Sunday, December 4, 2016 at 4:54 PM
Alexa had not even
made it to the back of the room and already she was being called forward again? She looked longingly at the place much further away from other people, but knew that she would have to go back towards the more crowded area. Why did it always come to this? People here and people there. She glanced to Mary, and noticed just how much more pale she looked. Alexa was certain she had been right - Mary was not completely on board with this whole thing either.
But the call to pretend to be okay was too strong. She couldn't just refuse to go over there. She decided to say something she would have liked to hear. "It's umm just an egg this time," Alexa said quietly, half to Mary and half to herself. "We can come back to this place right after."
Sailor Mercury (Mary) - Sunday, December 4, 2016 at 4:57 PM
"Right," Mary echoed, her eyes staring straight ahead. Her voice sounded almost robotic, but in a way she was trying to comfort Alexa as well as herself. "Just an egg. This should be be... easier."
Light (Wally) - Sunday, December 4, 2016 at 4:58 PM
"Charmander charma char!" ("Never heard of a Pokemon trainer challenging a Pokemon before!") he taunted. "Char charma charmander char? Charmander char char," ("Why don't you prove your worth as a trainer?
His Pokemon versus
your Pokemon,") he challenged, completely aware of his elemental advantage.
"I need to also choose an egg, Charmander. Enjoy your time with your new friends, I'll be back!" Wally said.
"Chaaaaaar!" the Pokemon said innocently.
Luna (Trainer Charmander) - Sunday, December 4, 2016 at 5:00 PM
Charmander's looked shocked at the suggestion he was challenging the other Pokemon to a battle. Oh, shoot, that wasn't how it was supposed to work! But, Bulbasaur was up to the task, right? He had the strongest trainer in the world, after all!
Charmander extended a clawed finger toward the other Charmander and called his battle cry, "Char, Charmander!" ("Bulbasaur, I choose you!")
But, where was Bulbasaur? The Pokemon had stepped forward to look at the eggs without his trainer.
SaturnTomoe (Ember) - Sunday, December 4, 2016 at 5:01 PM
Piplup upon seeing Bulbasaur ran over to it and smiled happily to play
Light (Wally) - Sunday, December 4, 2016 at 5:02 PM
It was a battle! Charmander would easily roast that Bulbasaur.
But he did not notice that Bulbasaur did not show. In fact, he remembered that his own trainer was not around either. How would it be a battle between trainers if his trainer was MIA?
Charmander inwardly sighed. He really would have to train that green-haired boy.
Luna (Trainer Charmander) - Sunday, December 4, 2016 at 5:03 PM
Charmander's face fell as his Pokemon did not stride confidently onto the battlefield. In fact, Bulbasaur wasn't even nearby. It was touching one of the eggs with its vines. Since Charmander wasn't paying attention to what it, as a trainer, was supposed to be doing...
SaturnTomoe (Ember) - Sunday, December 4, 2016 at 5:03 PM
Piplup went up to the bulbasaur and asked to play once more
Light (Wally) - Sunday, December 4, 2016 at 5:04 PM
"I'll take this egg if that's okay!" Wally said. Surely it would be okay not to wait for everyone again - after all they had no idea what Pokemon each egg contained.
Luna (Trainer Charmander) - Sunday, December 4, 2016 at 5:04 PM
With some hesitancy, Bulbasaur lifted an egg from the table with both of its vines and placed it gently into its bulb. And then, it noticed Piplup. But, now he had to gently carry the egg. If he played he might break it. Speaking of being gentle, how was Charmander supposed to watch the egg? It might not fit in the pouch he had received.
SaturnTomoe (Ember) - Sunday, December 4, 2016 at 5:07 PM
Ember pointed to the egg that piplup had chosen and had her hand gently on it.
Light (Wally) - Sunday, December 4, 2016 at 5:07 PM
"Chaaaaar charma char," ("Weeeeell, I'll let you off the hook this time. Fire versus plant is not fair,") Charmander said, attempting to save face. It could not be a Pokemon battle if his stupid trainer was not here to give him orders. "Charma charmander." ("I'm sure we'll meet again.") He mischievously turned Charmander's hat the other way around on its head and went back to Wally.
Luna (Trainer Charmander) - Sunday, December 4, 2016 at 5:10 PM
"Charmander! Charmander char!" The trainer called again for his Bulbasaur. This time, Bulbasaur walked up and stood next to his trainer. Charmander looked at the egg on Bulbasaur's back and sighed in exasperation, as if to ask 'where did you get that?'
"Bulba!" It smiled happily and pet the egg with one vine.
Before he could squeal with frustration, the other Charmander brushed the Pokemon trainer off. And before he walked off, he reached forward and touched Charmander's official Pokemon trainer hat. "Chaaaaar!" Charmander the trainer growled loudly, launching himself forward to Bite the Charmander.
Thankfully, Bulbasaur reached out with a free vine and restrained his trainer.
Sailor Mercury (Mary) - Sunday, December 4, 2016 at 5:11 PM
She forced herself to walk forward, glad that Alexa was near her. At least she wasn't alone. This was still completely terrifying in every possible way.
"Just pick an egg, Mary," she told herself, squeezing her eyes shut for a moment and taking a deep breath. She pointedly kept her eyes averted from the Charmander ruckus. That was more than too much for her to deal with at the moment.
Light (Wally) - Sunday, December 4, 2016 at 5:14 PM
"Oh Charmander! Done playing with your friends?" Wally asked as his Pokemon came to his side.
"Chaaaaaaar!" Charmander said with a grin and jumped on Wally's arms. "That's great Charmander!" Wally said and held the Charmander in his arms.
Resting his head on Wally's shoulder, Charmander stuck his tongue out towards the other Charmander.
Sailor Saturn (Alexa) - Sunday, December 4, 2016 at 5:14 PM
Walking
with someone turned out to not be quite as bad as she had always imagined. In fact, it was kind of nice to know she wasn't alone this time. She found her eyes drawn towards a particular egg, one that was sitting upon a lavender pillow and was speckled with gold and pink. That one was really pretty. She reached out for it, and picked it up. It was strange to know that there was a pokemon growing inside of it.
And now she'd have to take care of it. Oh gosh. How could anyone expect her to take care of anything so fragile?
Sailor Mercury (Mary) - Sunday, December 4, 2016 at 5:15 PM
Mary picked her egg without about as much sight as she had used for her Pokémon—that is to say, she looked away from the eggs and reached out until she touched one.
Luna (Trainer Charmander) - Sunday, December 4, 2016 at 5:16 PM
Charmander fumed in his vine restraints as the other Charmander taunted him. Charmander the trainer was going to train Bulbasaur so hard that he'd turn into a Venasaur and stomp that stupid Charmander flat!
Cosmos-Hime (Tamber) - Sunday, December 4, 2016 at 5:16 PM
Tamber took one last look over the group. Everyone seemed to be getting along, for the most part. The chaos had subsided, and she had her egg. Grabbing its accompanying pokeball, she let Poppilo nuzzle it happily a few more times before she returned it to the pokeball. With Poppilo in her arms, she said a loud "Bye." to anyone who would hear it, and made her way out of the building. Her adventure was just beginning. However, unbeknownst to the others-when she was outside she tripped and her sunglasses fell off. Poppilo hopped out of her arms to retrieve them, but when he turned around what he saw wasn't her face, but her palm-covering his eyes until she had her glasses safely back on her face. He barked out of curiosity before she picked him up and gave one last glance to the lab before walking to the nearest store to buy supplies. This journey was important to her, after all-and it was just beginning!
SaturnTomoe (Ember) - Sunday, December 4, 2016 at 5:18 PM
Ember grabbed a gold egg with a bright green, smirking Piplup knew it had to be a rare or better. "Jesse, James, and Meowth are going to be so proud of me when I tell them of today!"
Sailor Saturn (Alexa) - Sunday, December 4, 2016 at 5:19 PM
True to her word, as soon as she saw that she and Mary had chosen an egg, Alexa turned back towards the safety of the back of the room and made her way towards it once more.
Luna (Trainer Charmander) - Sunday, December 4, 2016 at 5:19 PM
Bulbasaur brought Charmander's attention back to reality by guiding it gently until his trainer saw the egg. Charmander marveled over the egg and quickly began to dream of all the super powerful Pokemon it could hatch into. That stupid Charmander wouldn't laugh at a Blastoise or a Dragonite!
With a confident smirk, certain that this egg was going to be more powerful than anything ever, Charmander placed it inside of a Pokeball. And then, he slipped it into the pouch around his waist. "Char, char," it said to Bulbasaur, letting his Pokemon know that they were leaving.
Light (Wally) - Sunday, December 4, 2016 at 5:20 PM
Well, that was it. He had his first Pokemon, and even given an egg for good measure. This was such a wonderful day! As Tamber took her leave, Wally realized he had to go too - his parents would be worried if he was gone for too long. Plus, he had to show them his new friend!
"Thanks for everything, Professor! Bye everyone! Let's do our best with our Pokemon!" he said, and proceeded to exit the building.
This was just the beginning of a great adventure. He could just feel it.
