April happily woke up early one morning. It was an important day for her. Today, she would officially become a Pokémon Trainer. She looked at her alarm clock. "8:00," April said as she got out of bed. She folded the blanket and walked into the bathroom. She brushed her hair and her teeth at a rapid speed, too excited for her day. April ran back into her bedroom to put on her favorite purple dress. Once it was on, she put on her sneakers and grabbed her bag. She opened the door and left the house.
April stood still in her front yard, letting the sunlight hit her pale skin. She took a deep breath and continued to walk. She looked around her town and saw some kids playing with their Pokémon. They looked up and waved to April. She waved back to them. "I wonder what Pokémon Professor Oak has." April said. She started running to the laboratory.
After a few minutes of running, April arrived at Professor Oak's laboratory. She sat on the grass, trying to catch her breath. She looked up to read a sign in front of the building. "Pallet Town's Professor Oak," April read aloud. She took another deep breath and entered the building.
"Welcome April. You sure are early." Professor Oak said walking towards April. "I-I wanted to be here early. The sooner I got here, the sooner I can start my Pokémon journey." April said nervously. Professor Oak smiled. "I see you're very excited. Follow me," he said leading April into a large room in the laboratory. April looked around and saw a bunch of machines. The professor stopped in front of a small chamber in the middle of the room. He pushed a button on the side and three Pokeballs appeared. "Wow! They're real Pokeballs!" April said excitedly staring at the Pokeballs.
The professor smiled. He grabbed the Pokeballs and threw them into the air. There was a red flash and then it disappeared. On the ground, there was a Bulbasaur, a Charmander, and a Squirtle. "They are so cute!" April said staring at the Pokémon. "You need a Pokémon to accompany you on your journey. Pick which one you want," Professor Oak said. April looked at all of them carefully. She sat on the floor and looked at them. The Squirtle walked up to her leg and tapped it, smiling. "Aw!" April said hugging the Squirtle. "I chose him," April said standing up holding the Squirtle. "Good choice." Professor Oak said, returning Bulbasaur and Charmander to their Pokeballs.
The professor walked to a table and April followed him. He turned around and gave April a Pokedex. "It's a real Pokedex!" April said opening it. "This can help you on your journey." Professor Oak said. April put it in her bag and took Squirtle's Pokeball putting it away. Professor Oak opened a drawer in the table and took out a piece of paper. April took the paper and looked at it. "What is it?" she asked. "It is a map of the Kanto region. You should try to get here before nightfall." Professor Oak said pointing to a city on the map. "So I go through Route 1 and arrive at Viridian City? That should be easy," April said looking at the map. "You should get going now if you want to make it," Professor Oak said. "Yes, of course. Thanks professor!" April said as she started running out of the laboratory with Squirtle following her. "Good luck," Professor Oak said.
