AN: So I apologize in advance for such a short chapter and the wait that it took to get it up. It was finished last week but then craziness ensued so I couldn't post it. I'm soooory!!!!!! Anyway, if you guessed Sam's last name, you get to find it out in this chapter so, woot! I don't have much else to say but thanks for reading!
**************************************************************************************Sam fought the urge to sprint up the hill. Instead he walked as slowly as he could, looking at the open fields around him. He took everything in as if for the first time. The rolling hills, the grass swaying in the breeze, the distant trees. When he finally saw the outlines of his great-grandfather's lab he stopped as his stomach plummeted. He stood there waiting for what seemed like hours. In these silent moments, he realized that he hadn't decided on a Pokemon yet. In all of his excitement, he had forgotten the most important part. Who would be his partner?
Sam began to run full speed up the hill. He couldn't explain it, but he had to get to the lab. He needed it. Soon he could see the whole lab and he ran even faster. Suddenly, he found himself on the ground. Sam scrambled to help up the person he had knocked over. Quick in his apology, he failed to notice who he had hit.
"Oh! Hello! I wondered when I would see you," said the old man. Sam looked up to see the man picking grass out of his greyed hair and smiled.
"Grandpa Oak!" he rushed into a hug and laughed. "I'm real sorry I hit you!"
"It's all right," said the world famous professor. "Now lets go get you your first Pokemon, so we can get back for your big birthday dinner." sam blushed, he never liked it when his family went through so much trouble for him. He then followed his grandfather's led to the lab.

"I need to o put something away, and then I'll be right back to help you choose your Pokemon," Oak said, digging something from his pocket as he turned away. Sam sighted as he was left alone in the familiar entry way. He paced trying to calm himself. Sam jumped at the sound of a crash followed by yelling and small objects rolling on the floor. He ran into the next room to find one of Oak's assistants on the ground with Pokemon food coveting the room. Sam helped him up, asking what happened as he spotted a large green bulb bobbing beneath a pile of food.
"I was recording something and then he," he said pointing to the pile of food as it burst, scattering pellets everywhere. A small, green, spotted Pokemon smiled contentedly, eating freely.
"What was it? Is everything al right? Is anyone hurt?" yelled Oak as he sprinted down the hall and into the room with two others.
"Everything is fine, Professor. It was that Bulbasaur again,"he sighed and began to clean himself up.
"When Brock told me that he was a handful, he wasn't kidding," he chuckled. "So Sam, lets go get your Pokemon!"
"Grandpa, can I have that Bulbasaur?"
Oak stared shocked at Sam's request. "Are you sure?" he asked. "He can be a bit difficult at times."
"Yeah, I'm sure," he replied.
"Alright then, he's yours!" Oak announced smiling. "I'll go get a Pokeball."
Sam's smile grew as he walked over to the Pokemon. "Com on, Bulbasaur. Lets go home." Bulbasaur gave him a blank look. Sam laughed and pulled out a muffin. Bulbasaur perked up and followed Sam out of the lab.

AN: So, did you like it? Mental cookies for anyone who correctly guessed that Sam and Cody were from the Oak family. I know I put it in badly but, hey, I'm not perfect so back of! Ha ha, well I hope you enjoyed it and I'll try to get another chapter up this week, but I work nights so that may be difficult. Oh, and something I forgot, if I break character for any of the actual peeps you see on the tube or in the games, don't flame me!! It's called fan fiction for a reason. Anyway review so I know you people actually care!!
