The door slides open for the newbie trainers to enter, the lab looked the same last time. They quickly noticed the famous Professor waving his wrinkled hands; they occupied their full attention to him and walked to him. There, the Professor stood; his hand gestured at three red devices, it was like a high-class technology source that they have no clue of.

His stressful smile returned to his face, he withdrew his hand from the devices and rubbed his palms together, "These here are Pokédexes," said the Professor, his voice low yet croaky in some terms.

The two trainers were confused at this new "word" they haven't known of yet, so they seem to be engrossed in his explanation now. Sure, the kids did Pokémon schools at a young age; but the teachers have not mentioned "Pokédexes" from what they have known.

Samuel laughed at their confusion, but he continued his lecture, "Have you not heard of a Pokédex?" the two trainers nodded with a sheepish grin, "Well I'll give you a brief explanation, a Pokédex is a digital device I created; it is an invaluable tool for trainers in our Pokémon World. It gives information about Pokémon in the world that are contained in its database, although it has its own differences in how it acquires and presents information over the different media. However, they are also given to a few trainers at a time; trainers who felt exceptional potential and skill, like prodigies. That's why I chose the three of you, lads." he explained thoroughly.

"Cool! Pokédexes are really important and handy, aren't they?" said the fairly tall brunette, his smile grew in excitement. Leaf seemed to agree and nodded eagerly.

"That's certainly right, lad! Here take these!" The Professor grasped the three devices and handed them to the trainers, "If you ever come across to my grandson, please give 'im a Pokédex."

Leaf smiled deviously, "You can count on us."

The Professor's eyes widened in the slightest, "Oh how stupid of me! Here take these Pokéballs, I'm sure you know what they are already." he handed them six Pokéballs each, "Oh and don't worry about Blue, he snatched some Pokéballs from me."

Red narrowed his eyes and sneered, "Figures." he clipped the Pokéballs onto his belt, "C'mon Leaf, let's go. Thanks Professor!" his sad smile grew into a big grin.

"Anytime, I give you the best of luck, children!" the old man chuckled and waved in acknowledgement of farewell.

A bell chimed a soothing sound as they left the laboratory; Leaf giggled and mouthed "How cute".

They continued forth to a new start of their journey, they followed a plain dirt path that leads outside of their little hometown. People gave those adoring looks and 'good lucks' through their journey, though their mothers weren't handling it too well.

"Oh my, my baby Reddie growing up so fast!" Delia, Red's mother cried out. She hugged him tightly and started to sob and murmur good lucks.

Red, on the other side; was blushing a full blown red in embarrassment. His overprotective mother's actions embarrassed him deeply; he didn't want everyone and Leaf to see him like this. He said between stutters, "Yeah- mom, please- let go; you're crushing me-!"

In a sad realization, his mother pulled away and gasped, "Oh! I'm sorry, dear! I don't want Leaf to see you like this, especially since you like he-!"

"Mom!" the teen complained loudly and pouted, "Not in front of everyone, please!" he whisper-shouted at his mother, it seemed inaudible to the rest of the people.

Leaf just tilts her head; an innocent and clueless attitude took her over. What was Delia going to say? She mentally glowered suspiciously at the Red family.

"Oh Leafy!" Kirra, Leaf's mother peered from behind, "I managed to get through my breakdown of crying, like you said! Oh honey, you're so brave; you're going to succeed for sure!" she clasped her hands together with a goofy grin.

Leaf rubbed the back of her head, her hands brushing through her hair during the process, "Aha, yeah! Good job, mom!" the short trainer praised with a thumbs up, "Oh and mom? I'll be sure to check in every time with my new PokéGear!" Leaf laughed and sent out the yellow device from her bag, stretching her arm out in a boastful act.

The people of Pallet Town constantly gave them good lucks, praises, and compliments to encourage them blissfully, surely enough; they were convinced that they would do well. Thoughts about the future made them incredibly ecstatic. Battling trainers, encountering Pokémon; maybe even legendaries or rare ones, and the exciting adventures they will surely experience, they were now intrigued.

Now they were leaving Pallet Town to pursue their goal, to be the very best of all history. Also, leaving Pallet Town was hard for them at first, but they were proud. They both felt a euphoric sense of freedom at last, they were beginning.

People waved goodbyes, and whistled to share their acknowledgement to the travelling new trainers. They looked forward to their next visit; maybe they'll be a lot stronger when they come back. That will remain in their minds.

Leaf could feel slight tears rolling down her rosy cheeks; she will miss her family very much. Not wanting Red to see her like this, she immediately wiped her tears with her wristband that was attached to her wrist.

As they continued forward, they spotted a sign that was near to the tall grass.

Route 1

Leads to Viridian City

Leaf grumbled under her breath, "Well, that certainly is helpful." a huge hint of sarcasm was in her tone of voice.

Red shrugged, probably agreeing as well. His hazel eyes gazed at a distance, never did he know- how grassy yet majestic his first route would be. He had to be prepared; maybe a Pidgey would swoop down and peck him to the death. He grimaced and shivered at the foul thought.

The tall brunette took the opportunity to steal a glance at Leaf, at a thought he seemingly started to regret what he saw; he was glowing a bright pink! Leaf looked absolutely attractive with that childish pout on her pink lips, her sea blue eyes narrowed in annoyance, but he couldn't help but notice her eyelashes; they sparkled vividly against the sunlight. And her posture is so-.

Drip.

Oh Mew.

"GAH, RED! WHY ARE YOU BLEEDING?! OH ARCEUS, DID A RATATA PEE ON YOU?! THAT'S DANGEROUS!" Leaf started to bawl and say gibberish frantically; he definitely is not going to die to her today; even on the start of their very first adventure!

"Hold on Fire Red! I got some towels and a band-aid here somewhere!" her hands shuffled in her bag, rummaging on and on, "Don't worry Red, I gotcha!"

"Pinch your nose to stop the bleeding!" Leaf instructed with her hand grasping the soft towel.

Red reluctantly pinched his nose rather tightly, he started to speak in a nasal yet gurgled tone, "Wait, isn't this supposed to make this worse?" he quickly withdrew his hand away from his bleeding nose.

"Stop speaking nonsense! I know just what I'm doing!" she defended with a sneer, "Now stay still!"

Red struggled to move, but the blood won't stop flowing inside and outside of him. His reaction was almost instantaneous as she went closer to him like a blur to him, he felt like he was losing blood, but the blood on his face continued to glow visibly.

Leaf has her chance now.

OH DUN DUN DUN, CLIFFHANGER BECAUSE STUPID AUTHOR DRAINED THE INSPIRATION BAR. I'M IN NEED OF MEDICAL INSPIRATION. (not funny me)

REDDIE IS A PERVERT AT TIMES; BUT YA KNOW MAN; HE'S CLEAN NOW.

But anyways, I will possibly continue writing this tomorrow! (Oh god, I need to memorize some lines in our presentation at school, who knows when the presentation would be!)

Thanks for reading though, R&R please!~
