"Anybody home?" Vanessa yelled knocking on the door, "We're here to pick up our Pokemon!" After a few minutes of Vanessa's constant yelling and knocking, still no answer. Brooke then had an idea, pulling out her Ipod.
"I always wanted to try this thing out on max volume" Brooke proclaimed,"but the ear doctor person... and the president wouldn't let me. Get out your ear plugs everyone."
After a few heavy-metal guitar riffs, and the Professor came running out of his lab covering his ears. "Hey hey hey, Professor Oak! We're he to..." Vanessa paused, "Brooke, can you turn that down now?"
"NO WAY! THIS IS AWSOME!"
Eventually, Everyone went inside the lab, anxious to start their journey and get their Pokemon. "Ok, now whose getting their Pokemon first?" the Professor asked.
"Well, we all decided that Josiah would choose first because he's the youngest, also because he claims to have called dibs."
"Ummm, eenie meeine minie... that one" Josiah picked up the pokeball and out popped a Totodile, a blue, gator-type pokemon with orange scales on its back hopping up and down on its hind legs.
"Looks like a perfect fit for you Josiah." Brooke joked
"Would you like to give it a nickname?" Professor Oak asked
"Hmmm," Josiah pondered, "I think I'll call him... Ripple!"
"Wonderful choice Josiah," said Kris.
Next, it was Brooke's turn, as Brooke walked up to the podium, she grabbed a pokeball without even taking a moment to think about which one would be right. Brooke open her pokeball and quickly, a orangish-yellow bird came out, shooting tiny flames from it's beak.
"Awesome! A Torchic!" Brooke though out loud,
"How did you know which one to pick?" Josiah asked
"Because the voices told me too." Brooke whispered
"Creepy" Josiah sighed
"Anyway," Brooke said breaking the silence,"I think I'll call her, Fiamma!"
"Umm, which means?" Kris asked
"fiamma is Italian for flame." Brooke replied
Afterwards, it was Vanessa's turn, Vanessa didn't take very long to choose, but she wasn't as fast as Brooke. Vanessa picked up a Pokeball, gave it a toss, and out came a blue turtle with an orange shell.
"Hey Hey Hey!" Vanessa greeted her new Squirtle, "I'm going to call you Shell Shock, okay?"
Finally, it was Kris' turn. Kris was getting nervous, thinking that he might make the wrong choice as to what Pokemon to pick. He reached for a Pokeball, and he could feel his hand trembling.
"Just go for it Kris!" Josiah yelled
"Come on out!" Kris shouted throwing the Pokeball in the air, breaking a light fixture and knocking it to the floor. Whoops. Anyway, the Pokemon inside was a Cyndaquil, a tiny mouse like Pokemon with sparks of fire coming out of it's back.
"Nice to meet you Cyndaquil, I'm going to call you, Pyro, is that okay with you?"
"Okay," Oak said handing them each a Pokedex and 5 Pokeballs," Now you're all ready to start your journey, you will encounter many hardships on your travels, but I'm sure you can handle this with your Pokemon."
