"Thanks grandpa!" A voice exclaimed as I walked into Oak's lab. Oak's lab looked quite like Junipers, except more narrow and with more technology. There was also the lack of a living area like Juniper's. Standing at the far end of the room was Professor Oak, world renowned Pokémon Professor. Next to him was a male about my age. He had Brownish Orange hair, and wore a black shirt with purple pants. He held a Pokéball in his right hand.

"Oh, A visitor? Are you Poké by any chance?" Oak took notice of me standing on the other side.

"Yes, I'm Poké from the Unova region" I responded. I walked over to him. Pulling out Juniper's letter, I gave it to Oak. He replaced it with a red rectangular device. The front opened, reveling a screen and keypad. The device also had what seemed to be a speaker, and a light blue semi-sphere on the top left.

"That is a Pokédex. It is a device that can record data on Pokémon you encounter. It also gives information about Pokémon you currently have on you, such as moves and abilities" Oak said. The boy next to Oak stepped in front of him.

"I'm Blue Oak! That's an interesting Pokémon you got there" He said pointing to Shaymin.

"Get your finger out of my face!" Shaymin yelled. Blue stumbled backwards in shock.

"Shaymin! You can't talk in public!" I yelled at the small creature on my head. I didn't think I had to tell the Pokémon not to.

"I've decided...You'll be my first opponent" Blue said suddenly, much to my surprise.

"W-what!?" I said in shock.

"You heard me, I challenge you to a Pokémon battle!" Blue threw his Pokéball up into the air before catching it. Professor Oak frowned.

"Blue, do you really think now is the best time for this" He said.

"Shut it Gramps. Poké will be my first opponent, Go Squirtle!" Blue threw the Pokéball, releasing the blue turtle Pokémon.

"Squirtle-Squir!" It said, preparing for battle. I opened the Pokédex.

"Squirtle, the Tiny Turtle Pokémon. After birth, it's back swells and hardens into a shell. Powerful sprays foam from it's mouth" The Pokédex said aloud. Shaymin jumped off of my head.

"Ready when you are" He said, talking to both me and Blue. Blue decided to make the first move.

"Alright Squirtle Water Gun!" Blue yelled the command. Squirtle shot a blast of water out of his mouth. Shaymin quickly dodged the attack.

"Now, Magical Leaf!" I read from Shaymin's move set on the Pokédex. Purple leaves shot out of Shaymin's fur and propelled toward Squirtle. They hit the turtle hard, causing him to fly back.

"Do it again!" I yelled. Shaymin once again used Magical Leaf.

"Squirtle, Withdraw!" Blue yelled. Squirtle withdrew into his shell. The leaves barley made a scratch on the tough shell.

"Now, Strike Back with Tackle!" Blue yelled. Squirtle didn't even leave it's shell, but thrust itself toward Shaymin. Shaymin was hit strong by the attack, making him slam into the wall.

"Shaymin! Use Synthesis!" I yelled. The green Pokémon was enveloped in a light blue light. His scratches and bruises instantly healed.

"Now...ENERGY BLAST!" I yelled again. Shaymin formed a ball of energy in his mouth.

"SHAAAAY-MIN!" Shaymin talked without telepathy for the first time, shooting off the energy sphere. It hit Squirtle's shell so hard it was hurt despite being inside it. Squirtle was forced out of his shell and collapsed on the ground.

"Squirtle is unable to battle, so the victory goes to Shaymin and Poké!" Professor Oak announced.

"N-no way! I chose the wrong Pokémon!" Blue complained. My first battle and first victory, just the first step in becoming a Pokémon Master.
