Chapter 4- ......What the--!?
Summary: As you may have noticed, my character's name is Trevor, but I started recently calling him "Victor" instead. You'll see why in this chapter...
Prof. Pine and I finally reached his Pokemon Laboratory in Periodio. I was so excited, and I couldn't wait to grab my first Pokemon! I jumped out of the car, quite literally, and managed to make a fool of myself by completely forgetting the seat belt was still attached. In my anxiousness, I had SOMEHOW managed to flip myself upside down with my head sticking out of the door. I could clearly see the underside of the car, my right arm was twisted, my left arm was stuck, and I was still strapped to the seat! I don't quite understand how I did that, but they say truth is stranger than fiction.
But speaking of strange, the way Prof. Pine had rescued me was even stranger, as he had to use his own brute strength, a screwdriver, a couple of bricks, some paper plates, Silly Putty, and his left shoe to get me out. It's a very long story, and a completely different one altogether. Plus, I'm not in the mood to explain it, so I'll leave it up to your own imagination.
Anyhoo, getting back on track here, after getting me out from that (erhem) INTERESTING situation, we went inside. Prof. Pine told me to wait inside the waiting area, as he had another simple task to take care of first, before letting me choose my Pokemon. After a minute or two, the Professor called me in and there I saw a very pretty girl!
She was very slender, around fifteen or sixteen. She was also very attractive, and....uh, er....developed, if you know what I mean. Very much so, at that. That, and alongside her long blue hair that had four bangs that stuck straight up into the sky, one spiked, one curled, one straight, and the last wavy, which was very unusual, in my opinion, she was otherwise a beautiful young woman.
"Oh, hello! You must Trevor." She said to me, holding out her hand. "The Prof. here was just telling me about you. You have a very interesting past!"
"Please....uhm...." I fumbled, realizing I did not know her name.
"Celeste." She smiled at me.
Slightly blushing, I continued. "Please....Celeste, call me Victor."
"Victor?" She inquired, looking confused. "What's wrong with Trevor?"
"Well," I began, "It reminds me of my past. Now, I'm not trying to run away from it or anything, but it's just that, my past was very terrible. As I'm sure the Prof. told you so, I wasn't exactly on very friendly terms with my parents."
Celeste nodded. "Yeah, poor you."
"Anyway," I continued, "my name of Trevor reminds me of the word tremor, which reminds me of the earth-shattering relationship I had with my parents. I hate my parents, and I want nothing to do with them!"
Celeste smirked. "I see. So, you changed your name because that was the name your parents gave you. Since you loathe your parents and want nothing to do with them, so you abandonded that becuase it was the name your parents gave you! But, why Victor?"
I smiled at this. She caught on quick. "Because it represents my dreams. I've always wanted to go out and see the world, to catch and train Pokemon, and to become a Pokemon Master! My parents hated that idea, and they tried their hardest to crush my hopes and dreams. My new name represents my victory in escaping that hell, as well as my visual of my victory when I truly exact my revenge!" I finished up extravagantly, throwing my arms up in the air for emphasis.
With both the Prof. and Celeste blinking at me, I blushed slightly a gave a nervous grin..
"Heh, and I've always liked the name anyway." I chuckled, scratching the back of my head.
"That makes sense." Celeste said. "Well, anyway, about those Pokemon..."
"Ah, yes!" The Prof. exclaimed, opening a case containing six PokeBalls. "Unlike Kanto and Johto, we provide six Pokemon to beginning trainers, instead of three. You may each choose only one Pokemon."
The Prof. set the case down on a nearby table and let loose the containers holding the Pokemon. One by one, a Bulbasaur, a Chikorita, a Squirtle, a Totodile, a Cyndaquil, and a Charmander were released. Examining the Pokemon, I immediately chose my starter. I chose the Charmander, as I heard they evolved into fearsome Charizards, capable of causing immense damage, held terrifying power, and they were Fire-types. Fire was often refered to being compared to an immense passion or an extreme rage, both of which I held. Charmander was the perfect choice. The Charmander seemed to noticed I was paying extra attention to it, and it waddled up to me.
As for Celeste, she also took a long gaze at the potential starters. Some of the Pokemon looked around, and then at us.
I noticed the Totodile had taken a good long, hard stare at Celeste. It's eyes went wide, and it's nose started bleeding profusely. Shocked by this, Celeste took immediate action, picking up a nearby Kleenex box and wiping the Pokemon's nose. She even picked it up and cradled like a baby as she pressed a fresh tissue firmly to the Water Pokemon's nose to stop the bleeding.
I was actually quite impressed. A lot of new trainers would have panicked. Espeacailly so here in Vokhani, where they also would have ran around aimlessly trying to think of what to do while the Prof. would be panicked on trying to get the trainer to calm down and ignoring the afflicted Pokemon altogether.
Celeste placed the Pokemon on the table, the bleeding stopped.
"There, now. All better!" She cooed. "Aren't you a cute little Pokemon!" The Totodile began to blush, it's face going from deep blue to dark red almost instantaneously.
"Awww, you're blushing!" Celeste squealed. "How adorable!" She whisked the Pokemon up into her arms and span it around, before facing Prof. Pine. "I would love to have this Pokemon as my starter!"
"Well, it's settled. Totodile is yours." Prof. Pine said, before turning to me. "And have you chosen yet, Trev--er, Victor?"
"Yes, I have." I calmy said, as I kneeled down to Charmander's level, I stared into it's large blue eyes. "This Charmander is perfect." I breathed. "I would be honored to have it as my partner." Charmander seemed to be incredibly happy I had chosen it.
"Then there you go. Charmander is your new Pokemon." Prof. Pine stated.
I couldn't believe it. I had a Pokemon! I finally had a Pokemon I could claim as my very own......no, that wasn't right. A Pokemon wasn't someone's property. It just didn't seem right to me....for some odd reason....maybe...I shook my head. I didn't care, at long last now I could start my journey!
"Hey, Victor!" Celested called to me. "If you don't mind, could I accompany you on your journey?"
"Sure, I would love it." I said, grinning. Now I have a travel companion, too! A very beautiful and very smart one, too. I still grinned, considering at how my new friend was very skilled in her ability to asses and understand a situation. As I watched her play with her new Totodile and begin to tickle it in the stomach, I thought that Celeste would prove to break the general assumption that all Vokhanians could be idiots.
Totodile, being tickled, obviously began to laugh profoundly at this. Suddenly, Celeste stopped hearing Totodile's laugh. She tightened up and seemed alarmed about something.
"Celeste? What's wrong? Is something the matt--" Prof. Pine began to ask, when,
"AIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEE!!" Celeste shirked. "My Pokemon is DROWNING!!"
"What the--!?" the Prof. and I exclamied.
"Oh, what can I do WhatcanIdoWHATCANIDO!!? SOMEBODY SAVE MY POOR TOTODILE!!" Celeste screamed as she ran around the lab, flailing her arms around. This, of course, got the Professor panicked as he too began to run around to attempt and calm her down.
Sighing, wondering just how the heck a WATER Pokemon on DRY LAND would be DROWNING, I pondered that I could be wrong about my earlier prediction. I gazed at my new Pokemon partner.
"Well, buddy, looks like we got ourselves an interesting adventure ahead of us....."
