Lucy would like to say that she peacefully awoke to the sound of pidgey's chirping outside her large window, but instead she was awoken by being violently shaken, half to death mind you, by her best friend Natsu Dragneel.
"C'mon Luce, we need to get to Makarov so we can get our first pokemon!" He shouted excitedly, making the blonde groan and shove her face back into her pillow.
"Five more minutes" she mumbled, hoping to go back to the rather amazing dream she was having, which may or may not of involved shirtless men and chocolate.
"Nope, we are going now" Natsu declared, pulling Lucy and her bedspread onto the floor. The girl in question, squealing as she fell onto the hardwood floor of her room.
"Fine, I'm going" she said as she pulled herself up walking towards her wardrobe to get dressed, "Why are you in such a hurry any way?" she questioned as she stepped behind the screen door to undress.
"I just don't want to lose to that ice bastard, and risk him getting the best starter" the boy grumbled angrily, as if the very thought of this 'ice bastard' angered him (Which it most likely did).
"I hardly doubt he'd take any Pokemon, you'd want, he is biased towards water and ice remember?" The blonde retorted stepping out from the screen, completely dressed.
"Well still" Natsu huffed, crossing his arms and puffing out his cheeks in an adorable manner.
"Yeah, yeah stop pouting, lets go!" Lucy yelled enthusiastically, running down her stairs, Natsu chasing down after her.
"Luce, wait up!" Natsu yelled, from behind the blonde.
"No way slowpoke" Lucy teased childishly, still running towards the professors house on the other side of the village of Fairies, and leaving her best friend behind.
She ran for what felt like ages before she finally reached the professors house, out of breath and slightly red in the face Lucy;` took a chance to take a breather, closing her eyes and leaning against the cool brickwork of the building.
"Boo" came a voice from behind her causing her to squeal like a spoink and place her arms in front of her in a defensive manner.
"Oh my god, you should've seen your face, it was priceless" The voice laughed, almost in hysterics.
"You, know it's not nice to scare people Gray" Lucy huffed turning away from the raven haired boy beside her.
"Calm down, Lucy it was just a prank" Gray said rolling his eyes in exasperation at the blonde.
"If it happens again, I'll send Erza on you" The girl threatened, glaring at Gray, who suddenly looked a lot paler than usual.
"No, anything but that please, I beg you, don't send that demon on me" Gray begged, dropping to his knees, in front of the very amused girl.
"Woah, Luce what did you do to popsicle, and can you teach me how to do it?" Natsu interrupted, panting from chasing after Lucy.
"Erza" was all the blonde stated smiling sweetly, as Natsu to dropped to his knees
"NO, anything but that demon" the boy said begging as an almost animalistic growl came from next to Natsu's ear
"I'm sorry but what did you just call me Natsu" a angered Erza asked.
"Oh er Erza …..your here" Natsu stuttered sheepishly, more than likely scared for his life.
"Yes I am, and your lucky that today is an important day, otherwise you'd be halfway to Unova" Erza threatened the boy, who cowered slightly.
"Yes, thank you, all mighty merciful Erza" Natsu praised bowing, hoping to please the scarlet haired demon. The demon in question seemed to of considerably calmed downed, enough to greet her other two friends.
"Hello Gray, Lucy" she said nodding towards the two onlookers, one of which was ready to call a nurse and the other ready to burst out laughing at Natsu's pathetic display. Take a guess at who was who.
"Well now all that we're missing is-" Lucy was cut off, by a bubbly voice belonging to one Levy McGarden
"Sorry, I'm a little late, last night I got caught up in a really good book and ended up sleeping past my alarm"
"Don't worry Levy-chan, we all just got here anyway" was Lucy's assurance towards the flustered bluenette.
"Yeah we, haven't even gone inside yet" Gray added.
"What are we waiting for then let's go" the pink haired boy yelled excitedly as he literally burst through the front doors, not even knocking, to ask for permission to enter.
"YOU BRAT WHAT DID YOU DO TO MY DOOR!" Came the scream from inside as the children outside cringed at the pink haired boys actions. Lucy sighing in defeat walked in following her idiot of a best friend as everyone else trailed behind excited to get their first Pokemon.
Entering professor Makarov's lab one was greeted by the sight of various strange, large and undoubtedly complicated pieces of machinery. Coupled with these machines were maps of various different regions plastered along the walls, and small groups of workers that appeared to be constantly measuring or calculating something or other. Oh and there was also the stump of a professor, who was currently hitting Natsu with his cane, that he carried around everywhere.
"YOU IDIOT, DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH THAT COSTS TO REPAIR!" The grey haired man yelled at the very sore Natsu, who only shrugged.
"Uh, never mind I'll send the bill to your father later" the tiny man muttered to himself. As he looked up to see the others standing somewhat, awkwardly in his lab.
"Hello, children and Welcome to my lab and consequently the world of Pokémon! My name is Makarov! People call me the Pokémon Professor! This world is inhabited by creatures called Pokémon!" he said pulling out a pokeball and sending out a creature known as Eevee. Which was meet with coo's from Lucy and Levy as they gushed over how adorable it was,
"As cute as it is Lucy and Levy, remember that it can still do a lot of damage and is a dangerous creature." he stated, gaging the reaction of the girls who's doting expression changed to a determined one, as they tried to overlook the adorableness of the creature .
"It would do you all well to know that the world of pokemon is not easy, it will be tough, gruelling, challenging yet it will also be the best experience of your lives" he continued, now addressing all the children present.
"So are you all ready to become pokemon trainers?!" he asked
"Hell yah"
"Of course"
"Definitely"
"I can't wait"
"I certainly am" were the replies his question was meet with. Smiling secretly to himself he said
"Well a trainer is nothing without a pokemon, so follow me" walking out the back door of the lab, the five children following behind him.
As they walked outside, the children were met by an amazing sight, there was right in front of them were 18 extremely rare pokemon all native to a different region, divided into three areas based on their type, with a common area in the middle. Levy, being the only one to fully comprehend just how extraordinary this was asked
"How did you manage to get all these rare pokemon from so many different regions?"
"Well the professors had been experimenting with a new breeding program, involving ditto's and these pokemon were the results" he informed the curious girl whose eye's twinkled in amazement.
Noticing that none of the kids hadn't moved while he conversed with Levy he yelled "Now what are you kids waiting for go pick a pokemon". This causing the kids to all dash off to seperate areas, Natsu ran straight towards the fire type pokemon, Gray bolted towards the water types, Erza actually took a step back appearing to assess each and every pokemon, while Lucy and Levy went straight towards the middle to sit down and apparently wait for pokemon to come to them.
It took roughly 45.7 seconds before Natsu was the first to pick a pokemon, picking up a small lizard with a flame on the end of its tail and spinning it around in a circle excitedly. When asked later about his thought process on choosing a pokemon his answer would be 'He looked like a tiny dragon'.
Gray, not wanting to be outdone by his 'rival' picked up a cute little penguin and declared that his pokemon was better than Natsu's, which caused them to squabble, which caused a fight, which caused Erza to scare them into submission.
"Good choices boy's" Makarov spoke "Natsu you have chosen Charmander a pokemon native to the Kanto region, he was one of the first pokemon discovered and will be an excellent companion both in and out of battle" At these words Natsu seemed to be even more taken with the small creature and smushed it into a hug, declaring
"I'm gonna call you Happy, because were gonna have so many happy times together"
Gray, who was feeling a little left out asked "Professor, what about my Pokemon" as he presented said pokemon towards the old man. Makarov had taken one look at the pokemon and began to rattle of the information
"That is Piplup, a pokemon native to the Sinnoh region, and is an amazing defender due to the amount of attacks it can resist. It, like 'Happy', will also be an amazing companion".
Gray seemed to feel smug at his pokemons description, and called out to Natsu
"Heh, my Pokemon is better than yours, Ash-breath"
"What did you just say about Happy popsicle breath" Natsu growled in anger at the raven haired boy.
"You heard me, my pokemon is better" Gray retorted
"Yeah right, that penguin" he declared pointing accusingly at it "Is not better than Happy, it doesn't even have a name" Natsu yelled feverishly in an effort to defend his beloved fire-lizard.
"It so does have a name" Gray yelled at Natsu, their foreheads pressed against each others, each giving the other a death glare.
"Oh yeah then what freezer butt" Natsu screamed loudly, alerting anyone within a kilometre radius of their presence.
"It's UR, and it's a much better name than Happy" Gray shouted back
"Yeah, well-" Natsu began but was cut-off, surprisingly not by Erza, but by an animal that could only be described as a fire chicken scratching both the boys faces. This caused them to stagger back and look around in confusion for the culprit. Meanwhile, Erza who was watching the whole ordeal could only stare in awe at the fire chicken as it pretended it didn't nearly take the two boys eyes out.
"I want that pokemon" the scarlet haired girl muttered under her breath as she lunged towards the startled creature, grabbing it, and consequently trapping it in her hands.
"This is the pokemon, I will take with me on my journey" She declared "It is a keeper of peace like myself and shall be an excellent battler". Makarov could only cast a sympathetic glance at the Torchic, struggling in Erza's arms.
"Good choice my dear, that is Torchic it is native to the Hoenn region and is a natural at martial arts". These words of praise seemed to spark even more admiration for the pokemon in her arms. She stared at it for a decent minute before she spoke again
"I will call you Simon"
"Mavis have mercy on that poor pokemon" Lucy whispered to Levy as they watched the scene play out before them, Levy only nodded in agreement to the blond girls statement.
"Say, Levy have you found a pokemon yet" Lucy asked curiously, the bluenette only sighed
"No, I just can't decide on one and because they're so rare there's not much information on them, In fact apparently there's only 18 trainers in Earthland to have one of these pokemon."
"I know the feeling, I mean look at them their all so adorable!" Lucy added, gesturing towards the leftover pokemon.
"Wait, Lucy look over there" Levy suddenly said, tugging on the side of Lucy's shirt and pointing at two pokemon. The pokemon she was pointing towards were two of the most adorable creatures the other had ever seen, a water pokemon that looked like a frog and grass pokemon that looked like a lizard were huddled up against each other and taking a nap.
"Oh my gosh Levy they are adorable" Lucy gushed
"Lu, they must be best friends like us!" Levy deduced "which means….."
"They should be our first pokemon!" Lucy continued her sentence causing both girls to jump up and hug each other, while an aura of sunshine, rainbows and sparkles surrounded them.
"Wait Levy, who should take which pokemon?" Lucy asked the petite girl, who at this question had taken on the appearance of a gaping feebas as she tried to come up with an answer.
"Why don't you let the pokemon decide for themselves" Professor Makarov suggested, interrupting their conversation. Conveniently the two pokemon in question were waking up from their mid-morning nap and were able to choose their future trainer.
"Pun, Pun" was the adorable sound that came from the Mudkip as it woke up and began to run around the Snivy in circles so as to wake it up. The Snivy only looked slightly annoyed as the Mudkip ran around it eventually letting out a cry so as to halt the Mudkip in its tracks.
"Now you two Pokemon" Makarov began, addressing the creatures "are very lucky, there are two trainers here that want to take you on their journey and you get to choose which trainer you want!" At these words the Pokemons eyes lit up in excitement at being able to choose their trainer.
The two Pokemon stared at their possible future trainers with thoughtful expressions and the began to converse. To the rest of the humans it sounded like an adorable series of cries but to other Pokemon it was a heated debate on which trainer to pick. The two Pokemon seeming to reach an agreement each launched themselves at their future trainer.
