Chapter 2: Meet Silver
The morning sun was rising above the small town of New Bark Town, the residents waking up, the children attempting to wake up early than usual, as today was the day that three trainers were able to receive a starter Pokemon of their choice. One of these residents was a boy named Silver, he was a thirteen years old and had held off on getting a starter Pokemon until now. However, he had overslept a bit than when he intended on waking up. "Come on Silver you're going to be late to get your first Pokemon!", Silver's mother said while shaking him awake. "What?...Huh?", Silver said, dazed, before he let the words sink in. Slowly, he turned his head and looked at the clock, ticking away as it showed the time; 8:50 AM. His mother, backing away so he could get up, was lucky enough to not be knocked over by Silver as he frantically got up and sprinted twords his dresser, quickly grabbing what he needed before sprinting to the bathroom in his room; not even bothering to close the door. As the sound of shower water was heard beginning to hit the tub floor, his mother sighed as she went downstairs. Minutes later Silver is now rushing down the stairs, almost tripping but catching himself and continuing his dash. Silver was wearing a black tee with a white jacket over it, as well as black pants and an old pair of running shoes passed down from his father. "Silver be careful! ", His mother scolded, only to receive a hasty, "Yes yes, I will mom, love you bye!", and with that, Silver was out the door and heading over to Professor Elm's lab.
Meanwhile at Professor Elm's lab...
"Alright alright settle down now!", Professor Elm stated, attempting to calm the overly excited ten year olds that were eager to attempt and receive their first Pokemon. "The first to select their first Pokemon...", Silver could now see the front of Professor Elm's lab, "Will be...", Running as fast as he could now, Silver was able to reach for the door to the lab, flinging it open with a slam, as he stood in the doorway, panting, as all the kids and Elm stared at him. "Uh...Greetings Silver", Professor Elm said, breaking the awkward silence, "I take it you are here for your first pokemon?". "Yes sir", Silver responded as he approached the crowd of kids, in which they stared at him, a bit curious as he did not look anywhere near ten. "Anywho, the first to get their first pokemon will be...", all the kids started whispering "Come on pick me! Pick me!". Elm surveyed the group of kids, and saw near the back of the group, Silver, who seemed more entranced by a certain pokeball on the right side of the machine, for which Elm smiled, knowing which pokemon it was, "Silver!". Silver, snapped out of his trance, and met with a bunch of blank stares from the children, before turning to gaze at Professor Elm. "...Me sir?..."
