Monday came. And so did Kevin Martin.

Bailey answered the door, and saw what appeared to be her neighbor Kevin, but with an odd white suit and an abnormally large pink afro. "Why…?" she began.

Kevin immediately cut her off. "Hey Bayleef!" he said in a slightly nasally voice, "Today's the day we finally become Pokemon trainers! I have been waiting for this moment to come for years! Of course, the journey could've started 3 years ago, if it weren't for your tendency to run off every September the 14th, but not today! I'm here to make sure of it!"

"First of all!" Bailey snapped back, "My name is not Bayleef! Second of all, you could've just left years ago and left me in peace! And last but not least, what is up with your hair?!?"

The smirk on Kevin's face fell. "For your information!" he replied, "Professor Sequoia won't give me a license unless he gives you one as well! And this hair style is too cool for some flower-loving freak like you to comprehend!"

If her mother were not in the living room, Bailey would've given Kevin a hard punch is the face. But her mother was in the room, so she restrained herself.

"Whatever," she muttered, "Let's get a move on to Professor Sequoia's lab!"

The two walked to the Tinyass Town Laboratory. It really wasn't much of a walk, only about less than a mile in fact. It was also the only non-house building in all of Tinyass Town. She had no idea where Professor Sequoia and the assistants lived, since the only two houses in the three-building town were inhabited by her family and the Martins. They reached the front door and stepped inside.

"Well, well, well…" said Professor Sequoia as they entered the lab, "It's about time you two came here to become official Pokemon Trainers!"

"Well," replied Bailey, "It appears that I have no choice but to go through with this…"

"Well…that's not true…" Prof. Sequoia stammered, "We're only trying to um, push you in the right direction, to get you to make the right decision in life!"

"And what makes you know what's best for me?!?" Bailey thought.

"Well," Kevin exclaimed, "Let's get on with the licenses and stuff!"
