"Come on Gin, we're going to be late!" A voice yelled from down the stairs.
Gin sighed. "No, we're not. We still have two hours, Kin." She yelled back down to her best friend, Kin. She could understand why Kin was so excited. Last week, Prof. Elm had called and asked that they come over. They both had a pretty good feeling why.
But, back to now. Gin took her time getting ready (mostly to annoy Kin), and went downstairs. "Okay, now we can go." She said.
"Finally!" Kin said, practically running out the door. Gin followed more slowly. Kin slowed to walk next to her. "Do you really think he's going to give us each a Pokémon?" she asked.
"Yes, Kin, I do." Gin replied.
They stopped in front of the laboratory and went in. "Hello? Prof. Elm?" Kin called. There was a thump and a muted "ow" and Prof. Elm came into view.
"Ahh, Kin and Gin, you're here. Great." Elm said. "You probably know why I called you two here by now. I have some Pokémon for you!"
"Yay!" Kin squealed. While all of this was happening, Gin's eyes were glued to a group of three pokéballs.
"So you can choose any one of these Pokémon." Elm said, letting out the Pokémon from their balls. There was a Chikorita, Cyndaquil, and Totodile. Kin immediately darted for the Cyndaquil. Gin was about to look at the one of the others, when something jumped up onto her shoulder.
"Chika!" It said happily. Gin looked to her shoulder to see the Chikorita there.
"Alright," Gin said, "I guess I'll choose you."
Meanwhile, Kin was coddling the Cyndaquil delightedly. "Waaaah! You're so cute!" she exclaimed. "I choose you!"
Elm smiled. "Now that that's done, I have a favor to ask."
Gin looked up; Kin was still cuddling the Cyndaquil. "Yes?"
"I have a friend named Mr. Pokémon up in—what's so funny?"
The girls had burst into giggles. "Mr.… Pokémon?" Kin coughed.
"Yes; what's so funny about that?" Elm said.
"That's a very… original name." Gin said.
The professor decided to ignore this. "Anyways, back to the subject. He's always making new finds. He sent me an e-mail saying that it's "real" this time. I don't have time to go see him, so I was thinking of sending you two."
"Where does he live?" Gin asked before Kin could say anything.
"Just passed Cherrygrove city." Elm said.
Gin took out her Pokegear. Cherrygrove was pretty close…
"Okay, we'll do it." Gin said. "Right, Kin?"
"Yeah!" Kin squealed, hugging the Cyndaquil.
"Oh, and one more thing: I would like you to keep these two Pokémon always out of their balls." Elm said, "In fact, you leave their pokéballs here so you can catch six other Pokémon and have a total of seven Pokémon with you. And take these." He gave them each 6 pokéballs and a Pokedex.
"Cool!" the two girls exclaimed together, setting down Pokémon's pokéballs and grabbing the others and the Pokedex.
Chikorita was still on Gin's shoulder, so Cyndaquil jumped on to Kin's head (much wiser than on her shoulder, given the mini-volcano on its back). The two girls ran out faster than Raikou itself.
"Hm, kids…" Elm said before getting back to work, "Now where did I put that paper…"

Gin: This was just a prologue, so sorry for the shortness. This chapter was mainly written by me.
Kin: Next one will be by me, Kin, also known as the amazingly magnificent authoress CherriEclipse, or Momo Harukaze! Please excuse Gin's inexperience, she has so much to—
Gin: *growl* Would you like me to sic my Meganium on you again, Ms. 'I-have-a-Slowpoke-and-you-don't-so-ha'?
Kin: …*sits in corner*
