Encounters in the Camingo Region

The three of them stepped inside and were amazed. The lab was really high-tech with different machines where you looked. "Thanks for coming! Good luck on your journey!" they heard someone say in the other room, then a boy walked out. This boy looked as though he was irritated by something, even though he just got his first Pokemon. "What Pokemon did you choose?" Cal asked ever so impatiently. "What's it to you? It's not like you need to know." the boy retorted. "Fine, if you're going to be like that," Cal answered back, with a smirk on his face as if he just found the person he wants to beat in the future.

A man's head popped out from the doorway. "Ah, you three must be here for your new Pokemon, correct?" the man asked. "No, just these two," Azami replied as she put her hands on their heads. The man nodded and said "Well, my name is Professor Sumac, and I am the leading professor in Pokemon Abilities and Pokemon Moves. Since Camingo is the 'Mixing Bowl', we have Starter Pokemon from every region here." Professor Sumac motioned everyone to come inside. He pressed a button and a wall of Pokeballs rose out of the floor. There were 3 rows of 6 Pokeballs, each labeled with the name of the Pokemon and its type.

"I've already made my decision, Professor." Cal walked over and grabbed the Pokeball labeled 'Fire Pokemon - Torchic'. Cal threw the ball into the air and called out "Come on out, Torchic!" A flash of light filled the room and a tiny orange chicken was standing in front of Cal.

"Oh man! This is so cool!" Cal exclaimed. "Oh! Professor, I just realized we have not introduced ourselves. Sorry, my name is Calvin, but you can call me Cal." Azami stepped forward "My name is Azami." Kyō looked at the Professor and said in a stern voice "My name is Kyō, thank you so much for giving us our first Pokemon, it means a lot." Professir Sumac chuckled and replied "Wow, does that bring back memories. Another boy said the exact same thing to me 2 years ago."

"Go ahead and choose your Pokemon, Kyō, unless you need more time." Kyō took a deep breath said "Nope. I know exactly which one I want." He walked over to the wall and picked the Pokeball labeled 'Grass Pokemon - Bulbasaur'. "Bulbasaur huh? Not a very common choice, even in Kanto. It's great to see you choose that one." Professor Sumac said as Kyō sent out his new Pokemon.

Professor Sumac pulled two red devices our from his pockets and handed them to Kyō and Cal. "This is called a Pokedex. It's an encyclopedia that automatically records data on every Pokemon that you catch." He walked over to his desk and grabbed some Pokeballs. He handed them to the boys and said "You will want these on your journey to catch new Pokemon and increase the size of your team." The nodded and turned to head out. "Good luck on your journey!" Professor Sumac called to them.

Kyō and Cal walked over to Azami and the three of them headed out. "Azami, you're 14 and you haven't gone on a journey yet, why didn't you get a Starter Pokemon too?" Cal asked. Azami reached into her bad and pulled out a Pokeball. "I got this guy a month ago from our dad; I wanted to wait for Kyō before going on a journey." she explained. She tossed the ball into the air and out popped a brown creature with a skull on its head. "I saw a Cubone on a nursery channel a few months ago and thought it was just too cute. Our dad was on a business trip in Rock Tunnel in the Johto Region and managed to catch this one for me." Cal looked a little confused. "Why didn't you want a much stronger Starter Pokemon?" This angered Azami a little, "Why don't we have a battle if you think your Torchic is so tough?" she said. Cal nodded and sent out his Torchic. "Kyō think you can referee?" he asked. Kyō nodded and held his hand out. "Begin!" he called out."Cubone, Headbutt!" Azami ordered. "Uh, Torchic...dodge!" but it was too slow and Cubone's skull smashed into Torchic. "C'mon Torchic! You can do this, Scratch!" Cal shouted nervously. Torchic began to charge towards Cubone. "Wait for it...Now! Cubone, use Bone Club!" As Torchic got closer, Cubone raised its club and struck Torchic on the head with it.

"Torchic is unable to battle, Cubone is the winner!" Kyō announced. "Good job, Torchic. Return" Cal said to his unconscious partner, looking a little depressed.

"Now do you see why I picked Cubone? He's cute yet strong!" Azami said to Cal, "Don't feel discouraged, I'm more experienced is all." Cal looked up, but instead of looking sad, he had a smirk on his face. "Are you kidding? That rocked! I'll definitely beat you some day Azami!" He replied with excitement. She smiled and return her Cubone to its Pokeball. Dang, those two really know what they are doing...But that won't stop me, I'll be a great Trainer soon enough. Kyō thought.

"Okay," Azami broke the silence, "We should try to reach Chikyu city as fast as possible, but to do that we need to pass through Hakobu Town." She looked at her PokeGear and began pointing out the towns and cities with Pokemon Gyms. "Our goal right now is to beat each and every one of these gyms to qualify for the Pokemon League, alright?" Kyō and Cal nodded in agreement.

The three of them set off from their home town of Hajime towards Hakobu Town, but first they have to venture through the mysterious Kumo Forest.
