"Hello, and welcome to the world of Pokemon!" are the words that Opal heard in his dreams on the night of his 13th birthday, the day that he would eligible to get a Pokemon Trainer's licence and be able to start a new journey in the Hido Region.
"My name is Maple, but most people refer to me as the Pokemon Professor. This world is widely inhabited by creatures known as Pokemon. We humans live alongside Pokemon, sometimes as friendly playmates, and at times as cooperative workmates, and sometimes, we band together and battle others like us. But despite our closeness, we don't know everything about Pokemon. In fact, there are many, many secrets surrounding Pokemon. To unravel these mysteries, I, and other professors like me, have been undertaking research, and tomorrow, when you wake up, you're going to be permitted to get a Pokemon." Opal could hardly wait until that very morning when he woke up on his 13th birthday. As soon as he woke up, he got up, got dressed and was already out the before his parents could even say good-morning.
"Today is finally the day! I'm finally gonna get a Pokemon!" He had just arrived at Professor Maple's lab. When he walked inside he saw two other kids, about his age already there, probably waiting for Professor Maple to let them choose a Pokemon too. One of them was a guy looking a lot like Opal, having brown eyes, and hair. He was wearing a green T-Shirt under a gray jacket, and blue jeans. The other Kid in the room was a girl with bright blonde hair, and silver eyes, She was wearing a t-shirt with the Hido Pokemon league logo on it and was also wearing jeans.
"Oh, you're finally here." said the professor as he appeared through the door on the other side of the room. "Please come with me to get your new partners." said the professor as he walked us into a room with a table and three red, and white Poke-balls on the table. and a screen up above the table, showing the three Pokemon that we would be choosing from.
"The first Pokemon you can choose is called Toadithorn, it is a Grass-Poison type." Is what the professor said as the screen showed a picture of a dark green, toad-like Pokemon with many spikes all over it's back. "It can detach and shoot the many spines on it's back toward enemies, many of which are laced in poison."
"The second Pokemon you can choose is Moesashi, which is a Fire-Rock type Pokemon." This Pokemon was standing on two legs with many black coals running along its spine and tail, and had a larger hot coal on the tip of it's tail, glowing red. It had a round head, and a long, thick snout coming out and had a horn in its snout that seemed to have a flame protruding from it. "The coals along its back and on it's hands and feet are said to start to glow red when Moesashi gets angered, the large coal on the end of it's tail is extremely hot and glows bright red."
"The third, and final Pokemon that I'm going to be giving out today is a Water-Ground type called Ryusei." The final Pokemon on the screen looked like a long, skinny, blue fish with huge round green eyes. and had a two spiked fin on the end of it's tail, and two flippers on either side of it's body, and also seemed to have two tiny notches near between the flippers and it's tail. "It can easily dig holes in the mud to hide from predators, and can also easily move on land using this mode of travel, however, it can be very hard for it to move if it does not stay hydrated." The Professor finished.
"How are we going to choose who gets to pick first?" said the boy in the jacket. "We can't flip a coin because there are three of us, so how are we going to pick?"
"I've already got that covered. Whoever arrived first gets to pick first. that's the rule." Said the Professor.
"That's fine by me. said the boy as he walked up to the table and picked up the Pokeball on the table labelled Moesashi. "I'm going to take the fire type, because it seems to look like a good, powerful Pokemon, and I think that when It evolves, it will become even bigger, and more Powerful."
"Okay, You next." he said as he pointed at the girl standing next to Opal.
"I want to be a great Pokemon coordinator, and I want Pokemon that look either cute or elegant, but could also be great battlers for when I need to do regular training in battles, so I'm gonna choose Ryusei." she said as she picked up the Pokeball sporting the name Ryusei in blue on the front of it.
"Okay!" The Professor said to Opal as he walked over to the table and picked up the last Pokeball on it and handed it to Opal. The Pokeball had the name Of the Grass Pokemon, Toadithorn on it. Opal Thanked the professor, and walked out the door along with the other two.
"Wait!" said the Professor. "I need to give you something." He said as he handed us each a small red box-like object. "This is the Pokedex. It is an amazing invention that was invented 10 years ago by the legend both in the scientific community, and the battling community, known as Professor Oak. This device lets you record Data on any Pokemon that you see or catch, it already has all of the required information on Pokemon that have already been discovered in other regions, but I give this to you three in the hopes of you recording any of the newly discovered Pokemon in this region." The three took the three Pokedexes and left the building, heading off on a new journey, where anything could happen.
