Rowan raised his eyebrow. "Chimchar is your choice?"

I put down Chimchar and I bend a picked up the red Pokedex and Chimchar's Pokeball.

"Yup," I smiled and opened the rectangular device that stores all information about the Pokémon that you manage to capture. I clicked the Chimchar icon and revealed Chimchar's Pokedex entry.

"Chimchar, the Chimp Pokémon," a female robotic voice read out loud, "Chimchar easily climbs the sheerest of walls and lives on mountain tops. When it sleeps, its flames go out."

I close the Pokedex and store it in my bag and Chimchar's Pokeball on my belt. I again bend down and picked up the small Pokémon and gazed into those endless brown eyes.

"You need a nickname," I stated.

The Chimp Pokémon nod and smiled showing his white teeth and canines. I couldn't help but smile at that adorable face of his.

"How about Moyasu?" I pondered, "It means burn,"

Chimchar nodded and smiled again.

"Then that's it. I'm happy to be your partner, Moyasu."

"Chimchar!" Moyasu smiled happily. I smiled back and gently put him back on the soft earth. He let out a small whine and climbed up my legs and stopped at my shoulders and rested there. Platinum let out a small chuckle.

"Someone has good taste in the ladies," Diamond laughed. Rowan let out a small cough that meant "Who is next?" Platinum stepped up and instantly went for the small green turtle-like Pokémon named Turtwig. The Grass Pokémon jumped up and down with joy as Platinum gets closer. He reached and grabbed Turtwig's Pokeball and Pokedex.

"This one's mine," he stated as he tucked the Pokedex away and snapped the Pokeball to his belt. He then fell down to his knees and pet Turtwig's head. The small Pokémon chirped happily in response.

"Wanna nickname?" he asked soothingly.

The Grass-type nodded and replied "Turtwig,"

"Okay then," Platinum picked up Turtwig and stood, "since you're a girl, how about Harmonia?"

"Turtwig!" the Pokémon called out happily and nodded.

"Great," Platinum positioned Harmonia gently on his head and fell back in beside me. I smiled at him then over at Moyasu humming quietly in my ear.

"SAVE THE BEST FOR LAST!" Diamond boomed and almost sprinted to the penguin Pokémon. He grabbed the Pokeball and the blue Pokedex and dropped both in his bag. Piplup chirped in tilted its head in confusion. Diamond got on one knee and with one fluid motion scooped up Piplup.

"Hey Buddy. You ready to be my partner?" Diamond asked gently.

The blue penguin nod firmly and chirped.

"Wanna nickname, like the others?" Diamond asked again.

Piplup nodded again and let out a happy squeak.

"Man, that Piplup is cute," I commented Moyasu gently poked me in the neck and I looked over to see him frowning slightly. I smiled and rubbed the small tuft of red fur on his head.

"Don't worry, you're the cutest thing on two legs," I reassured him.

He smiled and nodded. I turned my attention back to Diamond and his new partner. Diamond proudly raised his head and proclaimed, "Introducing my new partner, Royal Blue!"

Royal Blue puffed out his chest and nodded. Platinum and I busted out laughing.

"They're going to get along well," Platinum breathed out between gasps.

I nodded in agreement because I was laughing too hard.

"Don't laugh at Royal Blue!" Diamond yelled and squeezed then penguin to his chest. I took a deep breath to stop the laughter from pouring out again. Rowan cleared his throat, catching our attention.

"Barry, your turn," the professor boomed.

Barry stepped up to the second suitcase and bent down to grab all three Pokeballs and threw them in the air. Three Pokémon appeared in front of him. He had the same choices as us; a Turtwig, Chimchar, and Piplup. Barry rubbed his chin deep in thought and then turned around, winked at me, then turn towards Rowan.

"Professor Rowan," Barry calmly stated, "my partner shall be Piplup."

The Piplup puffed out its chest and stepped forward Barry. Barry received his new, blue Pokedex and his Piplup's Pokeball.

"I think that's the end," Rowan said, returning the two remaining Pokémon and gathering his things, "I'll take my leave now." He took a step forward the woods that lead out of the forest then paused and looked back.

"Good luck you four," he smiled through his snow white beard, "Don't kill each other."

We exited the lakefront with Pokémon on our persons. I let out a sigh and Moyasu poked my cheek in concern.

"It's okay, my little fireball." I comforted him, "Wanna met my mother?" Moyasu smiled and nodded. I turn to Diamond, Platinum, and their Pokémon.

"Let's go home guys," I smiled, "we'll start tomorrow bright and early."

In the corner in my eye I saw Barry grin and head off towards Sandgem Town. I suddenly wondered if he lived there...

Chapter 3

The next morning was bright and sunny. The perfect day for an adventure. I looked down and curled up in my arms was my adorable little Moyasu. He must have felt my shift because he opened his big eyes and a flame shot out of his rump. I quickly sit up so he doesn't burn up my sheets.

"The real fun start today, Moyasu." I promised my first Pokémon and started my daily routine.

After I'm done preparing and gathering my belongings I head downstairs to the door with Moyasu inside his Pokeball.

"Aren't you going to say to your own mother?" I turned around and came to face to face with my very angry looking mother.

"Ummm…I was just stepping out?" I tried to lied, but it sounded like a dumb question. Arceus, I'm a terrible liar.

"Yeah." My mother said, not sounding very convinced, and just glared harder.

I twirled my thumbs around and whistled innocently. Mom released a loud sigh and smiled, "At least let me say goodbye to Moyasu too."

"I can do that." I smiled and grabbed Moyasu's Pokeball on my belt. "Go Moyasu." I threw up the ball into the air. The sphere erupted red energy and a small Fire-type Pokémon appeared in between Mom and I.

"Chimchar!" Moyasu cried out of joy of being out of close confinement.

Mom knelt down at Moyasu's eye level and smiled brightly, "Make sure that Diamond and Platinum don't hurt my daughter, okay?"

Moyasu, being good and obedient, nodded so hard that his head almost flew off. I chuckled a little and picked Moyasu.

"We're heading out now. See ya later!" I said to my mother and smiled at her.

"Yeah…later, hun." My mother said with tears in her eyes. I turned away and went outside.

I ran to the Town Center with a smile on my face and Moyasu in my arms, looking for the twin brothers I spent my life knowing.

"You finally made it, Pearl-chan." A soft voice cooed in my ears and wrapped a muscular arm around my shoulders.

"Get off Diamond." I said and pinched his arm.

"Ow!" he jumped from the pain and rubbed his arm over dramatically.

"Calm down bother." Platinum muttered and ran his hands through his blonde hair. Diamond gave us one of his world class pouts, which we both ignored, and we headed toward the town gates.

"This is our group for now." I whispered down to Moyasu as we followed behind Platinum and Diamond.
