As Hollie and I approach the lab we see a young man standing by the front door of the lab and as we park and get out with me grabbing the cane from the back of my wheelchair and after getting out fully and I stumble over I yell out "BJORN!" and as he looked up from his Pokegear and replies
"ZACH, HOLLIE! IT'S GOOD TO SEE YOU TWO"
"It's good to see you too Bjorn what have you been up to?"
"Not much just getting hyped up for today, what about you two?"
"Just getting ready for today" Hollie said followed by me saying
"Same here"
"Alright well shall we head in?"
After Holly and I simply nod the three of us simply walk and we were greeted by Professor Rowan talking to two people of which they turn to us and the male and female smile at us of which the female then says
"You are Bjorn, Hollie, and Zach correct?"
"That is correct and you must be Gloria and Wyatt correct?"
"That is correct, are you ready to-"
"That is my question Wyatt" the professor said
"Sorry sir"
"It's alright but anyway are you three ready to pick out the Pokémon who will be your partners?"
And in unison Bjorn, Hollie, and I say "Yes sir!"
"Then follow me" and the professor then leads us to a table of which has three indents in it of which the professor speaks up again saying "so in recent years the people who basically run this region made it to where instead of pokeballs like we would usually used they made it to where we use the capture disc system that Pokémon rangers use with slight modifications to it of course but with that let me introduce you guys to the three starters"
Of which from left to right he puts three discs into the slots and the discs starts to spin and from them three Pokémon pop out which are Turtwig the tiny leaf Pokémon, Chimchar the chimp Pokémon, and Piplup the Penguin Pokémon then the professor says "Since today is Zach's birthday would it be alright for him to pick his Pokémon first?"
"Of course he can" said Hollie with Bjorn simply nodding so giving a thankful nod I get closer to take a look I say
"I will take Turtwig" I said as I pick it up and the professor pops it's disc out and hands it to me next up was Hollie and as she looked at the two left she picks up piplup and said
"I will take this little one" and she was handed it's disc and Bjorn said
"I guess I will take this little guy" he said as Chimchar climbed onto his shoulder and the professor handed him the disc and then Gloria said
"Well with your first Pokémon chosen, are you guys ready to get your first league cards?"
"But I thought we weren't participating in the league challenge"
"You aren't" Wyatt spoke up "But it's more of a formality since when you do a challenge like a tournament you always give an opponent a league card first before you participate"
Ah that makes sense" Hollie said "Well I am ready are you two ready?"
Bjorn and I nod and we do a photoshoot with our new Pokémon and after we get a box each of our league cards Wyatt says "Alright you guys ready to head out to the farmstead we are using as homebase?"
As Hollie, Bjorn, and I each said some variation of yes we all got into or got onto our respective vehicles, the truck that Hollie and I came to the lab in, The cycle that Bjorn rode on to the lab, and an SUV that Gloria and Wyatt came in and as we got the coordinates to the farmstead we head off.
