If I seem way to skilled for a normal person, it's understandable. I'm an Eagle Scout, I'm a track runner, I'm a straight A student, I know how to cook, I'm an exceptionally good manipulator, and I know a lot of survival skills. All of these are what I can actually do IRL. I do have my faults, and they are just as numerous.
One Month Later
Daniel POV
"When will he ever wake up on time?" Professor Oak asked me, as we looked down at the oversleeping Xander.
"I'd be worried if he does," I begin, making Professor Oak raise an eyebrow, "Because if he does, something is most definitely wrong with the world." The professor chuckled at that.
"Very true, my boy!" He then covered his ears as I put my fingers to my mouth, as this was the only way to wake Xander up. I whistle, quite loudly. The desired effect was most certainly achieved.
"BWAAAGH!" Xander shouted as he sprang from the small bed and falling right onto the floor. Xander looked up at me and growled, which would have looked menacing, had he not been wearing white and black checkered pajamas.
"It has been a whole month, and I still haven't gotten rid of the urge to strangle you after you do that…"
"Now now," Professor Oak intercedes, "violence is not good for you, Xander." The boy sighed, "Fine...I assume Gary and Ash will be here soon?" The professor nodded.
"Alright then, could you please give me some space so I can change?"
We nod and exit the room.
Xander POV
Once I changed back into my normal outfit (Which I now have my coat buttoned at the top alone, with the zipper undone, so it looks sorta like a cloak), I exit my room.
"So… how much longer till Ash and Gary get here then?" I ask, as I stretch my arms and yawn.
"Good to see you up and about, my boy," Professor Oak greets me.
I warmed up to him after the first two weeks. Speaking of, we made about 12,000 P$ each. Professor Oak paid good money, especially because I helped him with some of the technological parts. I was nowhere near as good as him, but he could work on the advanced programs while I did the basic formulas. Daniel helped out quite a bit when it came to the possible moves a Pokemon could learn, I remembered their descriptions and typings.
"Ash and Gary should be here at 9:00, which is in about ten minutes," the professor tells me, he then points at a machine on his desk, "I recently made coffee if you want some." I thank him and grab a mug of coffee, adding cream of course. I hate pure coffee, but cream and coffee? That's fine.
"So...what will your goals be as a trainer?" I nearly dropped my mug at the sudden question.
"I'm gonna travel the world, and try to meet every legend, and help any pokemon in need, no matter how big or small," Daniel answers. The professor nods.
"That is indeed a great goal Daniel, a great goal indeed."
Professor Oak turns to me and I have to think about my answer. After a few seconds I figure out how to word it.
"Honestly, just train with my Pokemon, and become as good of a trainer as I could possibly be, and if I get any fancy titles, well that's a plus." Professor Oak nods at my answer.
"Well said, my boy, well, I hope you stop by and call when you have the time!"
I chuckle at the professor.
"Don't worry Oak, we'll call you," Daniel assures. Professor Oak smiles, and he goes into another room.
"I'm here gramps!" a voice calls from the doorway, Daniel goes over and sees Gary.
"Hey Gary."
"Hey Daniel, hey Xander, ready to see the birth of the greatest trainer ever?" I smirk internally, time to knock down his ego a bit, after all, I'm the only one allowed to have a big ego.
"Sure! Where is he?" I remark, making Daniel chuckle, "I only see a rookie in front of me!" Gary fumes, but I hear his grandfather laughing at the blow to Gary's ego. I love roasting people.
"Just you watch!" Gary challenges.
"And listen to your constant bragging? Like heck!"
I feel Daniel place a hand on my coat covered shoulder, "Dude, chill, you don't want to kill him!" I laugh at that.
Professor Oak comes out of the room and into ours, carrying three pokeballs, each one with a different sticker. One a flame, another a water drop, and the last, a leaf.
"In each of these pokeballs, resides a different pokemon," the professor begins, as he sets the three pokeballs down on the table, "in- wait...where's Ash?" I turn to Daniel, and we both agree to remain quiet, as we remember Ash was late to this.
"I bet Ashy-boy got scared of seeing me! Hah!"
Slap in 3...2...1...SMACK. Damn, I'm getting good at predicting them!
"Hey!" Gary yelped as Daniel smacked him upside the head.
"Quit being egotistical Gary, we both know Ash would never be scared of you." Daniel scolded the young trainer-to-be.
"Daniel has a point Gary, and Daniel, please don't hurt Gary too much." Both Daniel and I chuckled at that.
"Oh well, I have an extra starter in case something like this happened, so let me restart," Professor Oak then cleared his throat.
"New trainers, in each of these pokeballs resides a different pokemon, in this one-" he points to the flame pokeball, "-we have the fire starter, Charmander." He moves over, "In this one-" he points to the water pokeball, "-we have the water starter, Squirtle." He moves over again, "and in this pokeball-" he points to the leaf pokeball, "-we have the grass starter, Bulbasaur."
The three of us nod in understanding.
"Gary, you may go first" Gary pumps his fists, and points to the pokeball containing the water starter, "I'll take Squirtle!" Professor Oak nods and hands him Squirtle's pokeball, as well as the Pokedex and some spare pokeballs, he already knows that the three of us know how to use the Pokedex.. He then turns to me.
"Bulbasaur," I say simply, he nods and hands me the same items as Gary, excluding the pokeball, as I got Bulbasaur's pokeball. I notice Daniel smirking, why?...Oh shit, curse my poor memory, I forgot I let him have the type advantage on me!
"Then I'll have Charmander." Professor Oak then hands him the pokeball and the same items he gave prior. Professor Oak stands back and clears his throat.
"You have made your choice, trainers. Now go, and fulfill your goals and dreams with your Pokemon at your side!"
