Disclaimer:

So Calypso gets to do the disclaimer!

Calypso: Yeah, yeah, gothchic6 doesn't own Pokémon, or any characters associated with Pokémon. She technically owns me, but in reality, I own her.

gothchic6: You do not! Now, onto the story!

I meet Professor Elm and a Redheaded Jerk:

"I am finally away from her! Thank Arceus", I say as I take in my surroundings. New Bark Town is very quaint and peaceful, but not very exciting. It's a good thing that I don't live in this town, or it would be complete chaos.

My skateboard crunches the leaves on the ground as I head to the Elm Pokémon Laboratory. PG (Pharmacy Guy. That's my nickname for him.) told me to go Elm's to get another Pokémon. I mean, I already have Spirit, my Murkrow, but I hope Elm has some weird Pokémon that can join my team, too. Besides, Spirit needs some company of the Pokémon persuasion.

Wow. The largest building in town is Elm's Lab. I am about to go in, when I see a guy looking into a window on the side of the lab. Kind of creepy, the way he's looking in. I go over to talk to him. But as soon as I take one step over towards him, I accidently trip and fall, landing face first on the ground.

The loud noise I made grabs the guy's attention. He looks in my direction, and I can finally see him clearly. He has long bright red hair- and when I say red, I mean bright red, like the color of a cherry. His skin is pale, and unblemished. He's about 3 inches taller than me, and looks my age. His features are sharp, and make him look menacing. I can see his eyes from here; they are a steely silver color, and are currently narrowed. The guy must be Goth or emo, or something, because he's dressed in all black. Black cargo pants, a black jacket, and boots similar to mine, but without a lot of the spikes that mine have. He's an intimidating individual, I can tell you that. But nothing really scares me, except really long shopping sprees at department stores. Gran took me to the one in Goldenrod once. It was terrible.

I hastily get back up on my feet, and lock eyes with the redheaded stranger. "What are you staring at", he asks. I am about to answer with a sarcastic reply, but then he pushes me back onto the ground. I can't see him, but his footsteps tell me that he went back over to his stalker window.

I jump back up, fuming with anger. I so want to punch this guy's face in. But if Professor Elm finds me fighting- and believe me, he will, I'm loud- he might not give me a Pokémon. So I swallow up my anger for now, and walk into the lab.

Elm's lab is just full of all kind of scientific things that I would probably break by just touching them. I seem to be very accident-prone, except when I'm skateboarding.

I walk to the back of the lab, where a tall, thin man is looking over something I can't see. "Are you Professor Elm?" The man totally flips out when I touch his shoulder, and almost drops what I think is a Pokémon egg. "I'm sorry! I didn't mean to scare you! I just came to get a starter Pokémon", I say apologetically. "It's okay. Nothing broke. I am Professor Elm. I assume you are Calypso", he asks. "Yeah, PG told you I was coming?" "Yes, he did. Let me go get my starter Pokémon…"

I squeal inwardly as Elm goes to a machine and takes out 3 Pokéballs. He comes back, and lets the three Pokémon out. "Here are Chikorita, Totodile, and Cyndaquil. They've been waiting for a trainer to take them for a while. They are all pretty good Pokémon, but they also have their quirks, as well", Elm explains.

The first Pokémon appears to be a Grass type. It looks like a little lime green dinosaur with a giant leaf on its head. It smiles at me, and I smile back.

The second Pokémon is a little blue alligator, probably a Water type. It doesn't seem to like me much. When I gaze at it, it growls at me.

The third Pokémon isn't as girly as the first one, but doesn't look as bloodthirsty as the second one. I think its name is Cyndaquil. It looks like a little hedgehog without the quills. I grin at it, and it grins back widely. Then, all of a sudden, flames sprout up from its back. My eyes widen. Definitely a Fire type.

"I want that one", I exclaim, pointing to the Cyndaquil. "Ah, yes, Cyndaquil, the fire type. A very good choice. This one happens to be female", Elm tells me. "How about a name for you…. Cyndi! It's cute, but not too girly, and it is similar to your species name!" The Cyndaquil grins in happiness. "Thanks Professor Elm!" "You're welcome!"

The Pokémon who I believe is called Chikorita looks so disappointed, that it almost breaks my heart. I look into the Chikorita's eyes. "It's alright, Chikorita. I'm sure some awesome trainer will come and take you with them. I'll be coming back here in a few weeks, anyway, and if you're still here, I'll take you with me. How does that sound?" Chikorita looks at me, and nods. I pat her head affectionately.

I hear a sound of whining coming from the Totodile. I stupidly go to try and reassure it, and it tries to bite my hand. While Elm isn't looking, I whisper to it, "There's a redheaded guy right outside the lab. He's like you: Cold, mean, rude, and vicious. He should be your trainer. You two would scare off any bug catcher or other trainer just by the looks you two give them." I walk away from it before it can do anything to hurt me.

I go to leave with Cyndi at my side, when Elm asks me to come back. "Calypso, do you have a Pokégear?" "Poké what?" Elm sighs, and says, "I guess PG couldn't afford a Pokégear for you… here, I think I have an extra one in the back…" I stop him before he goes to look for it. "What is a Pokégear?" Elm says, "Pokégear is a wrist watch that can be a phone, a map, a watch, and a radio all in one. But most Pokégears start out with just the Phone and Watch, like this one. You can get the other two from department stores, special events, or even meeting certain people. I would give you the other two if I wasn't out…" I smile brightly, and hug Elm. "Thank you! I don't care if I don't have all of them! Just the fact that I couldn't normally buy something basic for trainers like this, and you giving it to me for free is enough!" "You're welcome, Calypso. I put my number into the phone in case we need to talk. I also gave you PG's numbers, both mobile and home", he says. "Well, I think I should be going, bye Professor!" "Goodbye, Calypso, be safe."

I run out of the lab, with Cyndi at my side. I pass by the rude redhead who is still stalking Professor Elm. He must have seen the whole thing between Elm and I. He stares at me as I skateboard past him. I remember his words from before, and echo them back at him, "What are you staring at?" Then, I skate past him into Route 29 before he has a chance to say anything.

So, how do you like my first real chapter? Silver and Calypso are going to be at each other's throats for a little bit before I put in some romance.

Review, or Silver will use his evil death glare to make you review… JK! Review if you want to.
