"I guess I have no choice," I grumbled

"I'm going to Route One."

I'd step outside, and walk North from Pallet Town, where there was a tall sign that read;

"Danger! Wild Pokemon appear! Prevent Rattata bites by getting a Starter Pokemon!"

I'd inhale, and take a large step into the tall grass, and just like that,

"Hey! Wait, don't go out! It's dangerous!"

The voice sounded familiar. Could it be? I turned.

"Prof. Oak!"

He shouted back.

"No time, Red! Behind you!"

He'd pull be out of there.

"That was close, what were you thinking?"

I'd sigh.

"Blue told me that you were out on Route One..."

Prof. Oak sighed.

"I was looking all over Pallet for you, but at least you're okay. Pokemon can be dangerous, and you need your own Pokemon for your protection. Follow me."

We went back the lab, Prof. Oak made us some juice and sat us down.

"Now, here is my new invention, Pokedex!"

He's hand us both a Pokedex.

"I had a dream once, indeed I did, I dreamt like how you dream at your age, and to be honest, I still have the same image."

He'd hold his head up high.

Prof. Oak had a dream?

"I wanted to record all 149 Pokemon in the Kanto region, and now with the Pokedex and your help, that dream might become a reality. It's a hi-tech encyclopedia!"

Blue butted in.

"Yeah, and what about our end of the deal?"

Prof. Oak sighed.

"Yes, it is true, you two get a Pokemon of your own, I already registered the 3 entries into your Pokedex."

He'd put 3 Pokeballs on the table, and pulled out his own Pokedex.

"Just watch"

He said, with high hopes.

He waved the Pokedex near one of the Pokeballs.

"This is #001, Bulbasaur."

The Pokedex responded.

"A strange seed was planted on it's back at birth. The plant sprouts and grows with this Pokemon. Fully evolves into Venusaur. Type: Grass/Poison"

Prof. Oak chuckled.

"Neat little thing is it? This is the next starter. #004, Charmander."

"Obviously prefers hot places. When it rains, steam is said to spout from the tip of it's tail. Fully evolves into Charizard. Type: Fire"

"Last but not least, #007, Squirtle."

"After birth, its back swells and hardens into a shell. Powerfully sprays foam from its mouth. Fully evolves into Blastoise. Type: Water"

Prof. Oak applauded himself.

"Good work on my part, creating the Pokedex. Now, I want you to complete that Pokedex, and to help you, be my guest and pick a starter Pokemon."

I was so exited, this was the moment I've been waiting for ever since I learned about Pokemon. But there was one I thought was the coolest.

"Bulbasaur, I choose you!"
