(A/N Wow! I got two reviews! That's two more than I thought I would get! So go! Stop reading my ramblings and get to the fic!)

Artemis' Adventure (Tentative Title)

I step into the cluttered lab. I remember a couple of years ago the teacher had an extra credit type thing. Whoever cleaned the Professor's lab got an A for the semester. Nobody ever did, though.

I duck under a fake berry tree and dodge a Pecha Berry plant. I notice there's a rattata in the berry plant's pot. Of course he has mice; I should have figured that a while ago.

It takes us a while, but we finally arrive at the only room in his lab that is still neat. Or at least decent. It's really dusty, though, and we need to trudge through an inch of dust that covers the floor. The dust we kick up is making Jake cough - and Tina begins to make a futile attempt to wipe the dust off of her pink shirt.

The professor wipes the dust off of what appears to be a lump of filth with three pokeballs placed on top of it. Of course, nothing is what it seems and this heap of dirt is truly a metallic stand with the names totodile, chikorita, and cyndaquil engraved on it.

"So." The professor coughed after a pause. "Do you know which Pokemon you each want?" He motioned at the stand with his hand. I notice that his coat was not grey in one small place under his collar, and I wonder how many times that coat has been cleaned.

Jake finally speaks up. "I wanted a cyndaquil." He quietly picked up the pokeball with the flame on it. It was, however, in the spot marked 'chikorita'. "Ummm. Is this it?"

"Hmmm." The prof. picks up the pokeball and throws it gently at his feet. Slowly a totodile materializes. "No. I don't think so." He finally answers. He looks so serious about it I can't help but laugh.

"That's mine." I say, taking the pokeball and returning the small lizard.

Jake picks up the pokeball with the water droplet on it, in the 'cyndaquil' spot. It happens to be a chikorita, so he gives it to Tina. "So this must be mine." He says, taking the last pokeball.

The professor smiles. "Here are the PokeNavs I promised you." He hands us each a PokeNav, and I'm not sure of why he gives them to us. But, I take it anyway. Hey, it's free stuff. I notice they're all different colors; mine is red, Tina's is pink and Jake's is the normal brownish color.

"Thanks!" Tina says happily, inspecting her PokeNav. I stick mine in my pocket, and Jake pokes his suspiciously.

"And here-" the professor says, handing us three red and white spheres each "Are your pokeballs. You need these to catch Pokemon."

"No duh." Tina rolls her eyes.

With that we begin our trek to the door. Suddenly Tina screams; I look back to see that she discovered the rattata. Jake laughs at her, and the professor leaves us to go chase after the little rodent.

We finally get to the door (about an hour later) and Tina makes a mad dash for her house so she can change out of her dusty clothes. And so our Pokemon journey begins, I suppose.

(A/N Sorry I made it short (like the last one), but I just wanted them to get their Pokemon. I'll probably update when we get no homework again!)
