The night before Bianca came I was so nervous I barely slept at all. I remember Professor Juniper telling us how we had been selected through a very special program to help kids begin their Pokemon Adventures by allowing them to pick certain ones for free. My parents, both partnered with a Battle Girl from Opelucid city, said they were both in the program and dreamed of having their children journey with humans too. I was happy I could be a part of the program, but there was a nagging fear in the back of my mind of what would happen if I were not chosen. What if They pick a Snivy or a Tepig instead of you? What if you never get chosen? Would Mom and Dad stop loving you if you weren't picked? I tried to push those thoughts out and try to get some sleep for tomorrow.

"Come on everyone!" I heard a bubbly voice call "Time to go meet your trainers!" Bianca, why must you wake us up so early? I thought. We climbed into the carrier and headed out to Aspertia City. "Why must we be degraded so?" Leif, the Snivy, grumbled "In Kalos, I would never ave been put in a cage like zis."

"Don't complain Leif, we're gonna go on an adventure!" Hugo, the Tepig says in a cheery voice to match Bianca's.

"Shush guys, I'm trying to sleep" I grumble tiredly. Just then, the car hit a pothole and Hugo fell over onto me. "Ideeots" Leif snorted in his Kalosian accent. "G..get...off..f..me" I choked out. Hugo rolled off and on to the floor of the carrier. I inhaled deep breaths to try and pop my ribs back into place.

I woke up again to Bianca telling someone to pick between Hugo, the Tepig; Leif, the Snivy; or Me, Peter the Oshawott. "Hi guys, my name is Tyler!" I opened my eyes and looked up at an average teenager, about one and a half meters tall, with short brown hair, light eyes, a grey sweatshirt and denim jeans. He had a cheery smile on his face and he was looking at me curiously. "Can I choose you little guy?" Tyler said. I nodded and smiled as all my fears of not being chosen dissipated.

"What's your name buddy?"

"I'm Peter, thanks for choosing me!" I cheerily replied

Then, a bizarre boy with spiky navy hair ran up and asked: "Can I have one too? I want to be Ty's rival." Bianca replied "Why of course! Would you like Hugo or Leif?" He looked down at Leif and smirked, "I'll go with the Snivy" Leif nodded and smirked back. "Let me guess Hugh, you want to battle?" Ty asked "You bet, ready Leif?" The boy, who I know new was named Hugh replied. And so, my first battle began with my new trainer.
