Hello. I just turned 10 today, and today Professor Elm asked to see me. I live in New Bark Town one of the smaller towns in Johto but I like it. I think the town is better than the others because we have a Pokemon Professor. So I decided to get out of bed and get dressed. I put on my red jacket, my black shorts, my black cap with the yellow stripe and I put it on backwards because that is the style these days, and my red and white sneakers. So I ran down stairs and my mom stopped me from leaving.
"Honey before you leave I got you your Pokegear from the shop and registered my number," my Mom said as she handed me the blue Pokegear.
"Thanks," I replied.
"Make sure you stay safe whatever Professor Elm has you do," my Mom said.
"I will," I replied, "Bye mom," I said.
"Bye Michael," she said as she hugged me.
On my way out the door I grabbed my pack and headed over to Professor Elm's Lab and I was still wondering why Professor Elm wanted to see me so urgently.
"Wait up!" someone yelled.
I turned around to see my best friend since childhood Lyra. She was wearing her big white hat with a pink bow, a light red shirt with blue overalls, long white tube socks going past her knees, her yellow bag with a white pom-pom and her pink Pokegear attached, and pink sneakers.
"Hey Michael I couldn't help but to notice you Pokegear and I wanted to exchange numbers," Lyra said.
"Okay," I agreed.
So we exchanged numbers and she handed mine back and told me to call whenever. So I nodded in agreement and handed her Pokegear back to her. So we waved good bye and I headed over to the Pokemon lab and I saw a stranger outside at the side of the building looking inside. He had long red hair and was dressed completely in purple and red. I just ignored him and walked in I saw Professor Elm on his computer so I walked to the end of the lab next to where his computer was and said you e-mailed me.
"Oh hello Michael, I've been waiting for you I need you to run an errand for me. Could you go north of Cherrygrove City to route 30 where you will find Mr. Pokemon's house, there he has something that you need to bring to me," He explained, "So are you up to the task?" He asked.
"Sure I'm up to it," I replied confidently.
"Good but you will probably run into wild Pokemon so you will have to choose one of these rare and powerful Pokemon for your journey," He explained, "You have the decision of either Chikorita the grass type Pokemon, Totodile the water Pokemon, or Cyndaquil the fire type Pokemon," He said.
So I thought about it I knew from everything my Mom taught me about types Chikorita beats Totodile, Totodile beats Cyndaquil, and Cyndaquil beats Chikorita. In my town we are used to seeing water types because we live next to a shore. I remember when my Mom gave me Professor Elm's book of Pokemon and it has every Pokemon from ever region. I memorized all of the Pokemon in the book and, so did Lyra. We used to sit at the shore and name all of the water types we saw. So I think I want Totodile because I am familiar with the water type.
"I want Totodile," I told Professor Elm.
"Good choice," He said as he handed me the pokeball with a water droplet above the button in the center. "Now you may walk with Totodile to start to build a friendship because he will be yours to keep," Professor Elm told me.
"Wait I get to keep him forever?" I asked
Professor Elm just nodded so I pressed the button in the center and the tiny ball enlarged. Then I looked over to see the red headed boy looking threw the window watching me I ignored him. So I took the softball sized Pokeball and threw it. All of the sudden there was a red flash of light and the ball came back to my hands. My new Pokemon was standing where the ball had been thrown. Totodile looked at me and ran over to my leg. He looked up at me and gave me a big smile like saying let's go.
