It was the second day that Janith had arrived in this new home of hers. She had many places to explore and new sights to see. One thing that this place did have that wasn't in her old home were: Pokemon. Pokemon are creatures of all different shapes and sizes that live in this new world. This was Janith's second day in the small town of Grenwood, in the vast region of Roguno.
Today, she was ready to go to Professor Grettle for her first Pokemon to care and train for. Janith had planned the other night, that she was going to journey out into the wilderness to find new pokemon and to challenge the top trainers in the Pokemon League. Her kind and willing mom had given her permission.
"Honey! You forgot your lunch. Take it and go, sweetie!" Janith's mom shouted from the kitchen.
"Yes, mom!" Janith called from her new and clean room, slipping on white socks, a pink tie-die shirt, dirty jeans, and a lime green cotton vest. She made sure she had a clean change of clothes in her duffle bag, and headed downstairs.
"Take your lunch now and go. You're kinda late," Her mother added. Janith grabbed another packed backpack on the kitchen table, grabbed her sack lunch, and quickly burst out of her house and headed to a white-green building.
She was told that that building is where she was supposed to receive her new items. She stopped running suddenly and sloppily stuffed her duffle bag into her backpack. Then she stumbled into the building. A small group of kids were gathered around an old man wearing a white lab coat.
"You're late," Professor Grettle said aloud bluntly. The kids about her age turned around to look at her. Janith recognized her new neighborhood friend: Reed. He grinned mockingly at her.
"Please. Sit down and let us continue," Grettle said gruffly, motioning for her to sit down beside this blond kid she didn't recognize. Janith obeyed. Professor Grettle went on blabbing about the structure, importance, and help that the Pokedex provides. Janith almost fell asleep if not for Reed. Then, Grettle showed them a slideshow and yet another presentation on Pokemon. Janith found this pretty interesting. Finally, right before the sunset, Yevin, one of Grettle's assistants, brought them to a small collection of neatly displayed pokeballs each containing a starter pokemon. "Feel free to choose."
Janith picked up a pokeball with the name: Mijimaru written on it. She had no idea what that was and no idea how the pokeball was supposed to work. Yevin gave everyone an introduction to pokeballs and told them how to catch, release, and the different kinds of pokeballs. Janith payed heavy attention. Then, she pressed the big button and the pokeball enlarged. She pressed the button again and the pokeball cracked in half releasing a small Prairie Dog-like was obviously water-type, as she'd learned in the presentation about the kinds of pokemon. She liked how cute it was, but she wanted to see all the others. She saw another Asian girl with a boar-like fire-type pokemon. She saw that blond kid with small blue turtle and Reed with a Lizard-like Pokemon standing upright. Reed looked happy with the pokemon. But as cute as her Mijimaru looked, Janith wanted another pokemon. She snatched the last pokeball on a stand and opened the pokeball. A small red lizard popped out. It was a Charmander and it looked pretty strong. However, she still preferred the Mijimaru instead. So she decided on the Mijimaru. She returned Charmander into its pokeball and went along merrily with Mijimaru to receive her pokedex and her 5 starting pokeballs.
This was about one of the happiest moments in her life. She was in a new world of the unknown and tomorrow a whole new journey was about to begin. She had Mijimaru stay out of its pokeball as she went home with her pokedex and her pokeballs. Her mom saved her some leftover spaghetti from dinner. Hungry, Janith gulped it down, gave her pokemon a tour around the house, and went off to bed, excited of the events tomorrow.
