New Unova: Chapter one, Part one
Lucius woke from his sleep, the slants of his blinds directing the morning sunlight across his face. For the most part, nothing about his appearance really standing out, aside from a clump of white hairs and a medium-sized scar on his cheek that came from his father's Vigoroth. As he started to sit up, he remembered it was his 12th birthday! In his home region of New Unova, it was tradition for children to start their Pokémon journey at the age of 12. As he realized it, he darted from his bed, hastily chucking his favorite clothes on (a pale red button-up shirt with a plain blue tee underneath with a pair of dark grey shorts with a dark teal stripe) and ran downstairs. His dad was sitting at the table, sipping his coffee with three pokéball laid out in front of him. Professor. Spruce (His father) noticed Lucius out of the corner of his eye and greeted him with an ecstatic "Good Morning!" And a massive hug. Lucius made himself a bowl fruit-o's and sat down. "Now, as it's your 12th birthday,' Prof. Spruce started, 'I've gathered three rare Pokémon for you to choose from. The first pokéball contains the water-type pokémon, Squirt. The middle one contains the fire-type pokemon, Ashlle. And the final ball contains the grass-type pokémon, Garriot. Which one will you choose?" Lucius pondered on it for about half a minute. "I think I'll take... Squirt."
"And do you want to nickname it?"
"I think I'll call iiitt..." He paused for a few seconds. "I'll call it Bubble."
"Good luck, and see you when you come back!"
Lucius and his dad shared one last hug and they both even teared up a bit.
"G-goodbye!" Lucius managed to say, through his tears, heading for his best friend's house, who also starts his pokémon today!
