The moment when I chose that little green bastard to be my starter Pokemon, I knew that I was doomed.
It wasn't like I had a choice anyway-I had woken up late and arrived at Professor Juniper's lab just in time to see Oshawott and Tepig being whisked away by their new trainers.
"Oh, good morning Nikki!" Juniper greets me in her usual cheerful manner, as I walked in through the front doors.
How in the world did I manage to end up with this guy again?
Oh that'sright. The other two Pokemon were already taken. It was hard to see why anyone would pick this smug snake anyway. It wasn't cute like Tepig or adorably goofy (derpy) looking like Oshawott.
Instead, it was a green snake with legs!That's right, you heard me. It was a snake. With legs. Ithad a tail with three leaf shaped prongs at the end, a pale yellow underside, and half-lidded red eyes that made it look as if it were either perpetually stoned or mocking my very existence.
Oh well.
There's no use in trying to drown myself in misery, right? Or as my Mom used to say-"Don't make a mountain out of a Drilbur hill."
Who knows? Maybe this "Snivy" thing-as it was called-could prove to be useful in battle after all.
...Ha. I wish.
So I bend down and try to introduce myself, you know the basics. "Hi, my name is Nikki Rivers, and I'm going to be your new trainer from now on..blah,blah, blah."
And what was it's response?
It simply turned away from me, nose held up high in the air. Pompous bastard.
"Awwww, come on. We could be friends-OW!"
I yelped, clutching the side of my face.
Did...it just try to use Vine Whipon me?
"What was that for?" I yelled angrily.
I swore that thing was laughing at me. Sadistic bastard.
"I'm your trainer for heaven's sake. You have to listen to me!"
It laughed-a silent, mocking, laugh.
Oh boy. Why do I have a feeling that we'll end becoming great friends?
