"Look we've brought in a Pokémon expert, because I can't follow anything you tell me. Tauro, horses with fire manes…" Agent Brody said and left the room. The other agent turned to Rachel and motioned for her to continue.

"What games did you play when you were young?" Rachel asked.

"I played with dolls, like normal kids." Rachel just shrugged the Agent's reply off and continued.

Delia left early the next morning. She flew to Viridian City on the back of Red's Charizard. I was still asleep at the time. Red and I left at ten, slowly making our way to the professor's lab when Red spoke for the first time.

"I'll be going with you."

"Really? Through all the gyms and training? Helping me to get home?" He smiled, but nodded all the same.

"Yeah, but I am on vacation, so don't expect anything special." I nodded.

"I appreciate it, I was wondering last night if I would have to go out alone."

"Trainers aren't allowed to leave alone anymore. It's become too dangerous. The wild Pokémon and Team Rocket are a little troublesome."

"Do you think we'll run into them?" I asked worried. Facing Team Rocket from the other side of your computer screen was easy, since they were fictional and the dialogue was hilarious. But as I said before, this was real life now and Team Rocket was basically the mafia.

"O, we'll run into them, but they're easy to defeat." He winked at me in an eerie way.

Professor Oak wasn't at the lab, but his grandson was. Blue lived up to every characteristic aspect that I had paired him with. Blue was like Red, twenty-four years old, wearing dark purple jeans and a black shirt. Loud rock music was blasting through his office and he was slumped back in his chair, his eyes closed. His feet were propped up on the table. His hair was that annoying sun kissed blonde and his face was still young. Beside his chair was a black figure with golden rings. An umbreon, sleeping calmly.

"Wait by the door." Red ordered and entered the room. The umbreon looked up immediately and so did Blue. He blinked a few times, before a sly smile stretched over his face.

"Red, my man! You're back, how are you? Is that rat still a pikachu?" Pikachu hissed at him and Blue flipped him off. My eyes widened in shock.

"I'm fine. Where's Professor Oak?" Red cut straight to the point. The two lifelong rivals had a strange bond that I can't describe to you. They weren't friends, by a long shot, but they had each other's backs.

"Gramps is out in the field today. What do you need?"

"He said he'd have a few starters to choose from."

"Yeah, but I didn't know it would be you coming in. Your rat about to die? Is that why you need a new starter?" Blue was egging him on, he wanted to fight. But Red ignored it and pointed to the door. To where I stood, peaking around the frame.

"I have a…friend." And that's when a new set of problems started. Blue caught my eyes and smiled.

"Why hello!" He came over and took hold of my hand. "A pleasure, my name is Blue and this here is my Umbreon." He said while patting the dog Pokémon.

"Hi." Red was irritated and Pikachu had jumped onto the table and was sniffing at Blue's coffee cup. Pikachu stared around him briefly and spat into the cup. He spat into the cup! Neither Blue nor umbreon noticed and I realized that Pikachu was a rat! A cute rat.

"What's your name?" Blue pushed.

"Right, I'm Rachel."

"Pretty name, where are you from? No don't tell me, you're probably from Lavender town, you have that dark sexy look." Blue was a natural flirt. And if he only knew where I was from. Luckily Red interjected.

"Just give us the starters already." Red came to stand next to me, oddly protective. At the time I didn't read into it. But later on…

"Jeeze Red, don't get your underwear in a knot! Come on then." Blue gestured for us to follow him and we did. He led us to the main laboratory where a glass round table sat in the corner. It had ten holes in the top in a circular form. Six of the holes held Pokeballs. I had six to choose from, which was difficult. When you're playing the game you usually only had three to choose from.

"Here are the starters, let me just load their data on the pc so that you can choose." Blue connected the circular table, which was more like a chamber to the pc.

"Don't worry about training, all these Pokémon are trained before hand for rookies like you."

Then the six Pokémon's data came up on the screen and I clicked on the first one. A charmander.

"The strongest one out of this batch, but I wouldn't recommend it, dragons are naturally hard to train and he'll evolve into charizard only after five or so years of brutal training." Blue was suddenly all professional and freakishly smart. I nodded and clicked on the next one.

"Mudkip, the mud/water Pokémon. Cute and in my opinion totally useless."

"What? Why? They're not that bad." I defended. Mudkip's were cute!

"Please! I know Pokémon and this one is not the one for you. Next one, a rat. The electric type." He said while pointing to Pikachu who hissed again. Blue rewarded him by flipped him off… again. "After Red took Pikachu, gramps started bringing them in as starters, but yeah, the old man's crazy."

"Pikachu are perfectly capable." Red said while petting at Pikachu, I nodded. Blue shot him a look and rolled his eyes.

"Eevee, the normal Pokémon. Has seven evolutionary forms, pretty useful, like Umbi here." He scratched below his umbreon's chin and smiled.

"Next the rhydon, very powerful and- wait what?" Blue looked at the screen again and laughed. "Sorry, that's a mistake; once again he is an old man. Ignore that one." He took the poke ball out of the chamber and hooked it to his magnetic belt.

"Moving on, chikorita, powerful if you train and feed it right, some trainers carry them around in pots filled with special soil. Others just feed it regularly."

"Rachel, you need a powerful team, chikorita and their evolutionary forms are to tame and kind hearted. It'll die before you make it to Victory road." Red spoke for the first time and I, like any Pokémon fan girl nodded in agreement.

"I agree. So that's that." Blue said and they both stood next to me as I stared at the screen. I couldn't decide.

You have to understand agent, this wasn't a light decision. This Pokémon, my starter, would be destined to be my best friend. I would take on the responsibility of feeding it and caring for it and protecting it. And I did.

"What do you think Pikachu?" The yellow mouse stared at me and then at the screen, then he placed his paw on the eevee. I nodded.

"The eevee."

"The eevee? You sure about that?" Blue asked, scratching the back of his head. I nodded and clicked again on the eevee's data. It was a female, a year old.

"Yes, the eevee, please." I turned to Blue and opened my palm to him. He nodded and turned back to the chamber. He pushed a few buttons and the balls in the middle started to rotate clockwise, till the eevee's ball was in reaching distance. The glass panel split open in the middle and revealed the balls. Blue reached for the pokeball and handed it to me. I took it from him, without hesitation. At last my biggest dream had come true!

"Wow." I whispered. The ball was the average size of a tennis ball and just as light. The white button in the middle determined its size, pressing it would cause it to expand. While the ring could be turned to free or return a Pokémon. I pushed the button and turned the ring experimentally to the right, pointing to the ground. That red light soon exploded around the room and an eevee took form.

She was small and adorable. Her coat was sleek brown and healthy with a fine tuft of white mane around her neck. She stretched and yawned and then took in her surroundings. She was calm and looked at everyone with curiosity.

I went down on my knees, to be level with her. She was really small. I held out my hand, like I usually did with a dog that didn't know me. She sniffed slowly and soon began to rub her head against my palm.

"Hello eevee, my name's Rachel." I scratched at her and soon she moved into my arms. "She's so friendly!" I squealed and looked up for the first time. Red was smiling at me and Blue looked uninterested. Of course he saw this almost every day.

"Can I name her?" I asked them.

"Well yeah, but just once." Blue said. I nodded and looked at the eevee. "How about… V?" I asked her and heard Blue scoff. I glared at him.

"Very original." My eevee glared at him as well and even bared her fangs. Of course his umbreon to take a protective stance before his master and snapped its teeth at V. I brought eevee back into my arms and stood up. "V it is. Thank you Blue." I held out my hand for him to shake. He stared at it for a while, but shook my hand and even petted V, who huffed in annoyance.

"Before you go, I need to give you your trainer card and Pokedex." He said and left the room. I turned to Red.

"So, what do you think? She's pretty awesome right?" I nuzzled V who squealed in return. Red came closer and Pikachu took a seat on his head. Red petted the eevee with a smile, while Pikachu rubbed noses with her.

"Pika-pi!"

"Yeah, she's great."

"Okay, here's your Pokedex." Blue said as he came back inside. He handed it over, but did not let go. "Don't break it." He gritted between his teeth. I snatched it away from him. It was pretty straight forward, metallic green, the size of a regular game boy. I flipped it open and the screen lit up, a porygon also appeared on the screen.

"Trainer name?"

"Wow! Is the porygon mine as well?" I asked hopeful.

"Uh, no. That's Poly, she's the laboratory's Pokémon." Blue answered in a 'duh' tone.

"O."

"Rachel, I would suggest that you get a separate name. A trainer name, for safety." Red said.

"And because it's cool." Blue chimed in. I nodded.

"Trainer name?" The porygon asked once more. I looked at V and answered with a clear and determined voice.

"Zee."
