Two teens from very rich families are walking. The older, taller one, Konrad Triboales, is aimlessly talking to the other teen, John Flammaavis, who is deep in thought. They are both nervous because tomorrow is the day they graduate from The Pokemon Academy and they can get their first pokemon. Konrad stopped talking and John, reading that when he stops talking when he's nervous is a bad sign, said, "So considering I had the highest average and get to pick first I'm thinking of either an Eevee or a Squirtle. They're both really rare so I feel that if I don't pick it now I might never be able to get it. What are you picking, considering you got the second highest average."

"Well, unlike you, my whole strategy is not based around the noble art of defense but I want one that is balanced so I might pick a Charmander."

"First off my whole strategy doesn't revolve around defense it revolves around the ability to and survive. Secondly Charmander is mostly speed and attack."

"That is balanced." He said with a smug look.

"So, your idea of balanced is attack first."

"Yep"

"Whatever."

"So who had the third highest average?"

"My friend Mike is third, why?"

"I might have no chance against you, but him, Chalinder can take him down."

"Please tell me that's not going to its nickname."

"Yes the name that strikes fear in the enemies' heart, don't you think."

"No, not at all, to be honest you sound kind of crazy."

"I do not."

"Konrad, I'm going home see you at the ceremony tomorrow."

"Eventually Charlinder will take you down."

John started walking away and said, "Sure, I believe you."

The next day, both boys got ready, and put on their pendants, heirlooms from each of their families based on legendary birds, and went to their school. When they got there the principal gave a long speech saying to catch many pokemon, fill their pokedex, be careful, call their parents on occasion, and have fun. Then all one-hundred formed a line to a small room to get their first pokemon. John went into the room first and said, "May I please see the Eevee's."

(It's me John I'm narrating this story from here on)

Five doors open, and behind the middle one I hear a smack. Then five Eevee's walk in, the middle on practically strutting, and the one on the left had a scratch. When I looked at all of them, my eyes keep on going to the one with the scratch. When I looked at him he smiled and walked up to me. The one in the middle saw this and tried to use tackle. I saw this and said, "Eevee, jump now!"

The Eevee did, stepped on the attacking Eevee, and jumped. I pulled out the pokeball they gave me, and the already hurt Eevee hit the button and went into it. I smiled, I got the one pokemon I wanted and he likes me. I go outside and the principal tells me to bond with my starter. I bring out the ball I knew I would use and we start playing a small game of catch. Every time I threw it really high he would jump off a tree to catch it. After I see him do that I figure he has speed. We play for a while and I hear that everyone has gotten there pokemon and we should have our first battle and then there would be battle from there rank. I say to my new partner, "Eevee, we get to verse Konrad after our first battle, we're going to do our best right."

He barks or yips I wasn't sure which. We walk towards the school and I hear a shout, "Yo, John, my Eevee wants to fight you and your starter."
