A quick note: Hi all, so sorry for not uploading sooner! College has been kicking my butt but I promise that the gap between this and Chapter 3 will be much shorter! Also While I already have Sora and Kairi's teams figured out, if anyone wants to suggest Pokémon for Riku, I more than welcome said suggestions, but please refrain from legendaries. Those will be reserved for something else.
Chapter 2: The Pokémon Park.
Once the trio left Juniper's lab, they couldn't help but smile happily.
"Can you believe we each have our own Pokémon now?" Kairi said with a cheer.
Just then Juniper reappeared. She had forgotten to ask the three an important question.
"Wait. I almost forgot! Would the three of you like to nickname your Pokémon?"
Sora calls out the Piplup he had chosen. Kneeling down he smiled at it.
"Hey buddy, I've decided I'd like to give you a nickname. How about Mr. Bubbles?" Piplup responds to this suggestion by blasting Sora with water.
"I'll take that as a no. How about Prince?" Piplup nods in approval.
"Great! Prince it is then!" Sora smiled and picked up his new partner.
Juniper smiles. "Great. Sora I'm sure you and Prince will make a fantastic team. Kairi, do you want to give Ralts a nickname?"
Kairi thinks for moment. She was still holding the Psychic/Fairy type in her arms. Suddenly a name comes to her. "Destiny. I think I'll call her Destiny." Ralts smiles up at her.
"Riku? What about you?" The professor asks with a smile.
Riku sends out Litwick. "Hmm. How about Dusk? Do you like that name?" In response the flame on its head seems to glow brighter for a few moments.
Juniper smiled as she finished jotting down her notes. "Wonderful. It seems that you've all chosen fantastic nicknames for your partner Pokémon. I hope that you all will form strong bonds with each other and any other Pokémon that travel with you." She heads back into the lab.
Sora smiled at his friends. "Are you guys thinking what I'm thinking? We should take our new friends to the Pokémon Park. That way we can get to know our new companions."
Riku smiled. "Sora that is the best idea you've had in years."
"What are we waiting for? Let's go!" Kairi said as she took off running towards the park.
Once the trio arrives at the park they send their Pokémon out and took them to different areas. Kairi took Destiny to an area with various objects for the psychic type to play with. Sora took Prince to a massive pool with a strong current. Riku took Dusk to a darker spot of the park for ghost types to play around. At sunset they meet back outside the park and head home.
"That was so much fun! We should take these little guys back here every day!"
Kairi smiled. Sora and Riku nodded in agreement. They had been planning on making a raft to go visit other worlds but those plans could wait.
