Chapter 1: The Choice
Nate Taylor was on his way to professor Birch's lab on his 10th birthday to get his first Poké had dark, short black hair, deep green eyes and was surprisingly fit for his age. His clothes consisted of him wearing a black t-shirt with an emerald green jacket over it. He wore light blue tracksuit bottoms, so that it was easy to run when he wanted to, and he also wore a pair of green and black trainers which had a dark green tick on the side.
He only lived a couple minutes away from the professor's lab, as littleroot was not a very not a very big town but he still felt the need to run through the sheer amount of excitement that was flowing through his body. The night before he could only go through the choice he was about to make as to which Pokémon he wanted to be his first ever partner.
First there was the fire type Torchic was a small chick Pokémon that is covered in orange and yellow feathers and a crest on its forehead that resembled a flame. This was a cute Pokémon to be sure but soon it would evolve into a Combusken and take on the fighting type trait and after that into a powerful Blaziken.
Second was the water type Mudkip which is a small, blue, amphibious Pokémon with a large head, wide mouth, black, beady eyes and orange, star-shaped external gills on its cheeks. It also has a fin on the top of its head and a light-blue fin for a tail. It moves around on all four legs, and has a light-blue underside. This Pokémon was by far one of the coolest Pokémon Nate had seen and when it evolved into a Marshtomp it also become part ground type making it very strong but also weaker to grass types. Its final evolved form was a Swampert.
Finally there was the grass type Treecko who is a small, green, bipedal reptilian Pokémon. Treecko's hands and feet each have three digits. Treecko has a large, dark green tail with two separate lobes. Its stomach and throat are red. Treecko has yellow eyes with long, narrow pupils. It also has a line across on its stomach resembling a pouch. To Nate this Pokémon was awesome and one of the strongest Pokémon out of the 3 starters. Its first evolution Grovyle does not take on a second type so it does not have the ability to lean a lot of different attacks that were different types but what that did mean was that it had fewer type disadvantages unlike Torchic because when it evolves it becomes weaker to flying type attacks. Treecko's final evolution is Sceptile.
Soon Nate arrived at the professor's lab and knocked on the front door. A few moments later professor Birch's assistant came to the door.
"Nate I assume you're here for your first Pokémon then?" The assistant said as he let Nate into the lab.
"You know me to well Robert." Nate replied. His excitement was clear as he was jumping up and down on the spot.
"Well I should since you grew up around here" Robert said "Wait here a moment and I'll tell professor Birch you're here.
Robert left the room which gave Nate a proper chance to take in his surroundings. There were dozens of bookshelf's lining the walls and to his left he could see that there was a long white table that Nate thought was most likely what the Pokémon were going to be sat on while Nate chose which one was going to be his starter. 'They won't have to wait long' Nate thought to himself.
Soon Professor Birch came into the room followed closely by his assistant Robert who was now carrying three red and white pokeballs.
"Good to see you Nate. I believe its time for you to choose your first Pokémon." The professor said. As he said this Robert walked over to the long white table and opened one of the three pokeballs he was carrying. A white flash came from the pokeball and the table appeared a small chick Pokémon.
"Torch, Torchic." the small chick Pokémon said.
"This is the fire type Pokémon Torchic" said professor Birch. Robert opened another pokeball and on the table next to the Torchic appeared a small fish type Pokémon.
"Muuudkip." The small Pokémon exclaimed as though it were yawning.
"This is the water type Mudkip." The professor said as Robert released the third and final Pokémon from its pokeball. It was a small reptile that stood proud on two legs.
"Treecko, Treecko Treecko."
"Finally this is the grass type Pokémon Treecko. Now comes the time that you must choose which Pokémon you want to have travel with you through your journey, Nate"
"I had pretty much made up my mind but seeing him in person just made my decision final." Nate said. "I choose Treecko"
"Treecko!" The Treecko cheered in exitment.
"Very well then, here is your pokedex, some pokeballs to start you off and, of course, most importantly Treecko's pokeball."
"Awesome!" Nate exclaimed gratefully excepting the items.
"Good luck on your journey through Hoenn, Nate." Robert said as Nate was leaving.
"Thanks Rob, I'll call and let you know where I end up." Nate said
"Well if you want to challenge Pokémon gyms then the best place to start would be at Rustboro City" Professor Birch stated.
"Yeah, the gym leader there is called Roxanne." Robert added to the professor's statement.
"Sweet so Rustboro City it is then. Come on Treecko." Nate said to the grass type Pokémon. Treecko then proceeded to climb up Nate's back with ease and sit on his right shoulder.
"I take it you like my shoulder then?" Nate said to the Pokémon.
"Tre." The Pokémon simply stated. Nate decided to put the pokeballs away in his backpack but keep Treecko's pokeball on his belt and put the pokedex into his shirts upper pocket.
"Bye Professor Birch, bye Robert." Nate said and he set off on his journey to Rustboro City.
"Bye Nate take care of yourself and Treecko." The professor shouted to Nate who was part way down the road at this point.
"I will Professor Birch don't worry."
