Chapter 2-A Journey begins

As a skated towards the lab I saw a figure a leaving their house. I smiled and sped up. "Hey Calum! Wait up!" I called after him. He turned and waved, waiting for me on the side of the path. I skated up to him, stopping before I knocked him over. (That's happened many times before) He smiled about to greet me when he notices my wound. "What happened?" he asked concerned. I put my hand to it. "Oh…hit my head again" I said laughing. He laughed too. "You are forever hurting yourself" he added. I dropped my hand and he ran his finger across it. "Looks painful…" I heard the concern in his voice. He was always looking out for me. I shook my head. "It's not too bad!" he laughed but the concern never left his gaze.

Calum has been my friend for as long as I can remember. He lived a few doors down from me and we played a lot when we were little. He had dark skin and black hair. He had dark brown eyes. They were mysterious and beautiful. He always made me laugh. I was glad that we were going to pick our first Pokémon together.

I slowly skated so he could walk beside me. He didn't like skating around that much. "Have you got a Pokémon in mind?" I asked curiously. He shrugged. "They are all really good Pokémon! It's hard to decide." He explained. I nodded. "True! I have one in mind though…" I said spinning around. He laughed and ran to catch up with me. "Wanna tell me?" He said smirking. I shook my head. "You'll have to wait and see!"

When we arrived at the lab someone had already arrived. Andrea, my neighbour. She has long blonde hair and green eyes. Her skin was lightly tanned. She is very pretty. However she was very unpredictable. I never considered her as friend. Calum and I sat beside her in the chairs in the front of Fir's desk. After a few minutes she came out from the back room pushing a cart with eighteen pokéballs, with carefully placed labels to greet us. "Hello everyone! Welcome to my lab!" she said happily. She was tall with Red hair and blue eyes. She smiled at us. "Now, you can choose from the eighteen Pokémon I have here! They are from all different regions!" she sang cheerfully. She stood to the side of the cart. "Andrea you may choose first because you got her first!" She said issuing at Andrea.

She stood up and walked over to the cart, studying the labels carefully. I hoped she wouldn't pick the Pokémon I wanted. I didn't want to settle on another. She stopped ready and carefully picked up a pokéball. "I choose Fennekin!" she said throwing the pokéball and a fennekin jumped out. I sighed in relief. "Nice choice! Now Lady's first! Sorry Calum." She said issuing to me. He laughed. "It's ok. Go ahead Cynthia." He said looking at me. I smiled and stood up in front of the cart. I saw the Pokémon I wanted and picked up the pokéball. I through it in the air and shouted, "I choose you, Oshawott!"
