Chapter 2: Pokedex get!

Downstairs, Cheren and Bianca were explaining to 'my mom' why my room was now obliterated.

'Cleaning up? No worries. I'll take care of it later.' She reassured the two… tweens?

'Besides, shouldn't you be on your way to Professor Juniper?' What, to thank her or something?

'Yes, thank you! Please excuse us. I'll be waiting in front of the lab.'

Bianca perked up (with a little exclamation mark appearing over her head) and said 'Oh! Wait! I've Gotta go home first. Thanks for having us over!'

And with that, Cheren and Bianca rushed out of the room.

Mom walked up to me and remarked upon Pokemon battles, reminders of battles, and then healed my Apricot.

'Your Pokemon is looking great! Oh, and if you're going out, don't forget your Xtranciever!'

'Kyle obtained the Xtransciever!' read the text box.

'You're going to thank the professor too? Better get going!'

Several little blue fuzzballs with wings flew off as I stepped outside, adding a nice little touch.

I headed down to Bianca's house, as dictated by the mailbox. I didn't get why the mailbox would only read one member of the family's name, but I pushed it aside as I pressed up to head in.

Inside, a person who I assumed to be Bianca's dad did NOT want Bianca to go on a Pokemon adventure, yelling at her. When she noticed me, she ran out the door and to the lab.

I walked up to Cheren and he did…nothing? That was, until I pressed A on him, and then we all walked into the lab.

Juniper was waiting for us.

'Hi there! I've been waiting for you! Let me introduce myself again...'

Cheren pointed out that her name was Juniper, and she sPoke on about how she researched Pokemon. Apparently our Pokemon trusted us a little as well, and then she let us give our Pokemon a nickname. I hit Yes by accident, and typed out Apricot to rectify my mistake.

Then explained about Pokedexes which recorded info about Pokemon. The point being, she asked if we would go to complete the Pokedex. Just to see what would happen, I pressed no.

And she asked me again. And again and again until I said yes. She just wouldn't take no for an answer, would she?

So then we all got a Pokedex.

'You got a Pokedex!' read the annoying narrating text box.

Then she asked us to meet her at route 1 to see how to catch a Pokemon.

'S-since the professor asked us, it's OK to go on an adventure, right? I think I'd like that.'

'Of course. We can travel however we want as we complete the Pokedex.'

So was Bianca going to disobey her parents? Wow...

Everyone walked out of the lab, so I saved once more and walked off to route 1. Or at least, tried to. 'Mom' intercepted me and gave us all Town Maps. Self-explanatory: Maps of the region.

THEN I walked off to Route 1.

A/N: Looking back, this was my shortest chapter at less than 500 words. It didn't really contain any action, but it's setting up for it. All this setup will pay off in the next chapter….
