So this is a Nuzlocke story... and no, the protagonist is NOT the Doctor... but someone else is... please enjoy!

Disclaimer: I own neither Pokemon nor Doctor Who.

This is it.

The day I've been waiting for my entire life.

The day I become... a TRAINER!

I rush downstairs and bolt down a quick breakfast before my mom can even say good morning.

"You seem to be in a bit of a rush," she says with a grin.

"Well, DUH! I become a Trainer today!" I yell.

She sighs. "Well, take this bag... and this Pokegear should come in handy too!"

I accept the items and hastily pull the bag over the shoulder. "Thanks a lot! Bye, Mom!"

"Have a good journey, sweetie!" she says.

And then I'm out the door.

New Bark Town. My home.

It's a beautiful day, the sun shining bright overhead and the sky a perfect azure color. I dash over to the legendary Professor Elm's lab and knock on the door.

"Ah, hello, Luke!" the Professor says with a smile. "I've been expecting you... come in, come in!"

I step into the brightly lit, slightly cluttered lab. People in white lab coats stand over beakers and Bunsen burners, taking measurements and writing complicated notes on reports.

"And here they are," Elm announces. "The three Pokemon that you may begin your journey with."

I can barely contain my excitement as I examine the Pokeballs. Chikorita, Cyndaquil, and Totodile. But I already know who I'm going to choose.

"I want... Cyndaquil!" I say, tossing the Pokeball into the air. The Pokemon leaps out and faces me.

"Wait... are you wearing a tie?"

"Yes, as a matter of fact, I am," he says in a British accent. "Is there a problem?"

I stare at it. "No, none at all," I say, dumbfounded.

"Well," Elm says, "would you like to give a name to your Cyndaquil?"

"Yeah... how about... Matt?" I suggest.

"Brilliant!" Matt shouts, the fire on his body flaring up.

"Well, what are we waiting for?" I ask with a grin. "You ready?"

"Yep," Matt says, "Allons-Y!"

A CLARIFICATION: I realize that the 11th Doctor wears a bow tie. I'm not stupid. I gave Matt his name because of something that will happen later on. For now, Cyndaquil is going to be like the 10th Doctor.

Short chapter... but updates coming soon!
