A lanky, green eyed, brown haired boy runs down a path in a little town named Pallet Town in the Kanto Region. He had to hurry! Today was the day he would turn into a pokemon trainer after all. He arrived to Professor Oak's lab just as the professor himself opened the door to let in the soon to be trainers. The professor was apparently surprised to find him already there.

"Well you sure are an eager one if you are here already, aren't you?" he asked

"Of course! I've been waiting this for years!" the boy answered

"Okay come in" said the professor "what's your name son?"

"I'm Hiccup. Hiccup Horrendous Haddock the Third" at the professor's confused, and slightly amused, look he continued, this time with a sarcastic voice "great name I know"

Oak just chuckled "come Hiccup"

Hiccup followed Oak around the lab until they reached a room with three pokeballs on it.

"Okay, you can choose between this three pokemon" started the professor "a water type, Squirtle, a grass type, Bulbasaur, or a fire type, Charmander"

Oak showed Hiccup images of the pokemon inside each poke ball. The first one, Squirtle, was a blue turtle like pokemon. The second one, Bulbasaur, was a green, quadruped creature with a green flower bulb on its back. The third one, Charmander was a lizard like creature with a little flame on its tail.

There was something wrong with Charmander though. While Charmanders were normally orange, this one was completely yellow. Hiccup looked at it confused, something Oak noticed.

"This is what is known as a shiny pokemon" explained the professor "it's a very rare pokemon to find, let alone capture, I was lucky to come across it a while ago. I thought it would like to have a trainer that would help him grow stronger so I planned on giving it to the first trainer that chose a Charmander. Unfortunately, it seems like this particular Charmander has high expectations of who his trainer should be and, as such, has rejected all of its previous trainers. So what do you say? Would you like to try and be his trainer?"

Hiccup didn't have to think it twice.

"Of course I would like to be his trainer!" answered Hiccup

"Okay then" said the professor as he took Charmander out of its pokeball

"Charmander!"said the little fire lizard

Once he saw Hiccup, he stared directly into his eyes. Hiccup got close to the little pokemon slowly, stopping as Charmander growled at him. He was now just a few feet in front of the pokemon. Hiccup slowly reached out to him with his left arm, making Charmander growl once again. Hiccup stopped and sighed. He left his arm outstretched while closing his eyes and bowing his head. Charmander was confused at this, none of his previous trainers had approached him like this. They had all automatically thought they could order him around, which caused him to dislike them immediately. This boy though, had placed his trust on him, leaving the choice to him. He didn't have to think too much about his decision. Hiccup gasped as he felt Charmander's warm, scaly skin press against his palm. Oak was just smiling as he watched the display.

"I guess he accepts you" said Oak "okay then, here are Charmander's pokeball, your other pokeballs, and pokedex"

As Oak handed him said objects, Hiccup took the pokeballs but neglected the pokedex

"Thanks but I won't be needing the pokedex" said Hiccup "you see, I will soon be moving to the Kalos region so no real need for a Kanto pokedex"

"Okay then, but in that case make sure to go to professor Sycamore's lab in Kalos in order to get a Kalos pokedex" answered Oak "oh and one last thing, would you like to nickname your Charmander?"

Hiccup looked Charmander over, grinning after a few seconds. Charmander tried to mimic him and revealed a little gap between his teeth. Hiccup chuckled at this, having thought of the perfect nickname for the little lizard.

"Toothless" said Hiccup

"Char!" cheered the newly named Toothless, apparently liking his name

"Alright then, good luck for both of you" said Oak smiling

"Thanks professor, for everything" said the brown haired boy

"It was no problem" said the older man

With that Hiccup and Toothless walked out of the lab, just as a white haired kid entered...
