I woke up in my bed before realizing what today was. It was December 16th, the day I'd get a pokemon! Squirtle, Charmander, and Bulbasaur swirled through my head. Which one should I pick? I jumped into some clothes and sped to Oak's lab.
"Ah, well if it isn't young Chase?" Oak said with a smile. He gestured me over to a table where two others were standing.
"Hey there neighbor!" the brown headed boy beamed. He noticed my blank stare. "Don't tell me you forgot my name again!"
"Uh, what was your name again?" the professor asked scratching his head.
"Ha ha," the boy laughed sarcastically. "You know who I am Chase."
"Heheh, sorry Trace." I smirked. "You know it's fun to joke with you."
"Aww, cute friendships are like soooo in style!" said the strawberry blonde standing next to the pokeballs.
"Um, what's your name?" Chase asked.
"Oh!" the girl stepped back a bit. "I forgot to introduce myself, I'm Junko Enoshima. Let's be friends, kay‽" She suddenly grabbed Trace and I, pulling us into a group hug.
Trace wiggled out of Junko's grip and sat in a chair to catch his breath, his face as red as the chair he sat in.
"Aww, you two are shy," the girl pouted "I'll let you choose first as apology!"
Oak gestured me towards the table where I reached for the middle ball.
As my hand neared it, the ball began to glow a brilliant blue. Suddenly an Eevee burst out and nuzzled into my palm. Its soft fur rubbed against me as it climbed atop my head and rested there.
"It seems that Eevee really likes you!" Oak smiled. "If you look at its tail you'll know what gender it is, yours looks to be male."
Trace had gained the strength to walk again and reached for the pokeball to the left. It opened in a similar fashion to mine, but the Pikachu that came out looked up at him in curiosity. It then jumped up on Trace's shoulder and nuzzled its red cheek into its trainers face.
"Young Junko, the last one is yours." the professor was now sitting in a blue chair.
As Junko reached for her pokeball something strange happened, the Clefairy inside burst out and scrambled to get itself away from her.
"Junko my girl," Oak frowned, "It seems this Clefairy doesn't really like you. It probably senses the wormhole energy coming off of you." Trace and I shared matching baffled looks.
"The Nurse Joy from Vermillion City saw the whole thing." a lab assistant said, pulling up the footage.
The computer screen was filled with an image of the cracked sky. The crack split open to reveal a hole, in which a battered Junko tumbled from.
"Oh my!" Shouted Nurse Joy from within the video.
"Arcanine, catch that girl!" called Officer Jenny.
The pokemon rushed to catch Junko before her head hit the ground. Arcanine successfully saved Junko before carrying her over to the worried duo. The video then ended.
"Wait, why was she all beat up?" Trace gasped wide eyed.
"I was being bullied before I fell in the wormhole." Junko said casually.
"But why?" I asked. "You're so pretty."
"Oh you're too kind." Junko blushed. "It's cuz I don't go anywhere without my teddy bear." She suddenly pulled out a two-toned bear and hugged it to her body. "His name's Monokuma, you're not gonna bully me right?"
"N-no, not at all!" I rushed out. "It's actually kinda cute."
"I agree!" Trace piped in.
"Aww, you guys are makin' me blush!" she pulled out two more of the bears and handed Trace and I one each. "I worked so hard to make them, s-so please take care of them!"Junko gushed with her eyes glowing.
"Well then, now that you all know each other," Oak interjected. "Would you three like to battle?"
"Yeah!" the three of us new trainers cheered.
We got into a triangular formation and began a three way battle. It seemed my Eevee had the moves growl, tackle, and tail whip.
"Clefairy use growl!" Junko cheered. The Clefairy respond by growling at its trainer. "Okay, I think we'll sit thos one out…"
"Eevee use tackle!" I called to my partner. Eevee complied, landing a critical hit on Trace's Pikachu.
"Aw darn, well you did your best Pikachu." Trace said as his Pikachu fainted.
