Draco could sense his mother's apprehension at letting him leave for his journey but his resolve was set and he would let nothing deter him from achieving his dream. He had seen his mother interact with her Espeon and he too wanted to form a bond as special as the one his mother had with her Pokémon with his very own Pokemon too.
He wondered what Pokémon awaited him in Professor Oak's didn't care what it was except maybe a bug Pokémon; he was scared to death of bugs. His deep rooted fear of bug stemmed from the few interaction he had had with his father's menacing Ariados. He wouldn't mind an Eevee like his mother and her sisters or maybe a good ol' Pikachu like the Kanto Champion or maybe a Clefairy like his friend Pansy had gotten for her tenth birthday or a Charmander like his jerk of a neighbor Harry Potter had gotten on his tenth birthday.
Whatever it was going to be he would love it and care for it and they would be best friends forever.
As his mother returned his embrace he felt small pangs of homesickness already setting in. He knew all his life he had been a mama's boy and most of the kids except his two best friends Pansy and Hermione had teased him mercilessly about it but he had never let their teasing bring him down.
As his mother released him from her strong comforting embrace, she started bombarding him with questions about whether he had everything he needed and that if he wanted they could delay this for a few more months or whether he wanted her to accompany him. She kept on talking till he patiently told her that he would be fine and that she need not worry about him as he would have both Hermione and Pansy with him and they would look after each other. After he felt she had considerably calmed down he embraced her once more and asked her if she would accompany him to the Professors lab to which she readily agreed and they left for the lab.
That is after she made him double check everything he would need and making him leave behind the three "emergency" cans of hairspray he had packed. Finally after he had acquiesced to his mother's will of letting her pack his stuff they managed to depart for the lab.
It didn't take them long to get to the lab as Pallet Town was a very small town and everyone lived within walking distance of each there they saw Hermione and her parents and another boy who looked to be around twelve with his father accompanying him waiting for Oak. Draco and his mother went to say hi to the Grangers. No sooner had they finished greeting each other one of the Professors aides came out to let them in and finally choose their Pokemon.
