You're really gonna like it here in Kalos." Calem said to his cousin as they flew back to Lumiose City.
The party had certainly been and interesting one. One of the most interesting parties he's ever been to. He had heard the name Natalie before on television when he was younger. Especially when she and her mother were headlines on the news after the death of her husband. It certainly was a tragedy, but she seemed to have gotten over it. The party went on until the late evening hours. After cleaning up and having supper he shared a room with Calem. They left as soon as the sun came up. Now they were currently flying over to the Pokemon Lab back in Lumiose City. This is where he would get his Kalos starter Pokemon and Pokedex.
After a few minutes of flying, Calem told his Altaria to land. The cloud-like Pokemon chirped happily in reply before landing in front of the steps leading up to the lab. "Thanks for the lift, Altaria." Calem said as he caressed his Pokemon's head before returning him to his Pokeball.
"So who's the Pokemon Professor here?" Aiden asked. Certainly this one is going to be very different from Prof. Birch back in Hoenn. Boy! What a guy he is.
"Well it was a man called Augustine Sycamore." Calem explained as they walked up the steps, "But he left Kalos two years ago. No one knows why. Some say it's because I killed Lysandre. It turns out that the two were pretty tight."
Aiden smirked. "Like...lovers tight?"
"No!" Calem exclaimed in disgust while Aiden just threw his head back and laughed.
"Relax, cousin, relax. I'm only kidding."
Calem frowned at the slightly younger teen before knocking on the lab doors. There was an unlocking sound coming from behind and the door opened to reveal a young, lightly tanned woman about Aiden's height with purple hair. "Can I help you two?" she asked politely.
"Yes. We're here to see Professor Green Oak." Calem replied.
"Wait. Green?" Aiden asked. He's heard of the name before! Green is the rival of world Pokemon Champion Red. A few years back he decided to retire rather early from Pokemon Training and become a Pokemon Professor instead. Like his grandfather, Professor Samuel Oak. What would Green be doing in Kalos?
"Ah! Yes. The Professor's been waiting for the both of you. Please, come in." the woman said before stepping to the side.
"Thank you." Calem said as he and Aiden entered the lab lobby.
"I'll go get him now. Please wait here for a bit." the young woman said before she ran up the steps and took the elevator.
"Calem." Aiden asked, "What's Prof. Green doing here? I thought he was studying back in Kanto."
"He was." Calem explained, "But he graduated from being Professor's assistant and decided to come to Kalos and take Sycamore's place after he left. We were in need of a new professor anyway. But he isn't so bad, though. He's actually really nice once you get to know him."

The elevator doors parted and the young woman returned. Behind her was a young man in his late twenties with light brown hair and pure green eyes. He wore a white lab coat with a green undershirt and dark green jeans with black shoes.
"Ah! Calem." Green said as he walked down the steps with both hands in his lab coat pockets and a cool expression on his face.
"Professor." Calem said as he gave the man a slight bow.
"Thank you Sina. I'll take things from here."
"Yes, Professor." Sina said before she left.
"So!" Green clapped his hands together, "You must be Aiden, am I correct?"
"Yes, sir." Aiden replied.
"Nice to meet you. As you probably know, I'm Professor Green. Also known as the former Gym Leader of Viridian City."
"Why'd you decide to become Pokemon professor?" Aiden asked.
Green chuckled as he rubbed the back of his neck. "Well, I really love Pokemon. So I wanted to learn more about them. So I decided to become a professor and placed Blue in charge of the Viridian City Gym instead."
"Oh! And how is Blue?" Calem asked.
"She's doing fine." Green replied, "Anyway, back to business. You're from the Hoenn region, yes?"
Aiden nodded.
"How come you didn't participate in the Hoenn League?" Green crossed his arms curiously.
"Well... After hearing my cousin talk about how cool Kalos was, I just had to come. I was given Torchic on my sixteenth birthday a few months ago by my parents. Anyway, I wanted to come to Kalos and participate here instead."
"You've come a long way from home, Aiden." Green said before he smiled, "Reminds me of when Red and I started our Pokemon Journeys. I don't know how he's doing now but I'm pretty sure he's fine. Anyway, I better show you the starters then. This way."
...
Three Pokemon were lined up on the table. Chespin, Fennekin, and Froakie. They all looked up at Aiden and the others with friendly expressions on their faces and cute looks that would melt anyone's heart. Aiden tapped his bottom lip as he tried to make his decision. Only three to choose and so little time! Considering that he already had a Fire type with him, Fennekin was crossed out. He wouldn't mind taking Chespin, he didn't want him to get hurt accidentally by Torchic. So he's left out. So that leaves Froakie...
Aiden smiled as he walked over to the blue frog and looked into his eyes with a smile. "Hiya, Froakie!" Aiden said, "My name's Aiden."
"Froak?" The Froakie cocked his head curiously. Aiden giggled before he mimicked the Pokemon's movement playfully. Froakie cocked his head the other way and Aiden followed. "Froakie! Froakie!" Froakie croaked happily before jumping into Aiden's arms and cuddling up to him. Aiden laughed happily before looking over to Green and Calem.
"Looks like Froakie it is, then." Green said.
"You better introduce him to Torchic. The earlier the better." Calem added.
"Oh, yeah." Aiden replied. Reaching into his bag he brought out the Poke Ball that contained Torchic and released him.
"Torchic!" Torchic cried happily, making a little hop. "Chic?" the red bird looked up and cocked his head curiously when he noticed the other Pokemon in his Trainer's arms. Aiden got down on both knees and placed Froakie in front of Torchic.
"Torchic, meet Froakie. Froakie, meet Torchic. You two are gonna be traveling together from now on so I expect you two to get along." Aiden said.
"Froak?" Froakie a bit closer to Torchic and sniffed him. "I've never seen a Pokemon like you before." the blue frog said.
"Me too." Torchic agreed, "I'm from Hoenn."
"Cool. I'm from Kalos." Froakie replied, "I hope we can become friends."
Torchic smiled. "I hope so, too. But I have a good feeling that we will!"
Calem, Green, and Aiden all laughed softly as they watched the two chirp and croak to one another. "I wonder what they're saying?" Aiden asked as he watched them.
"Beats me." Green said, "If Yellow were here then she'd probably be able to know. Anywho, here's your official Kalos Pokedex."
Aiden grinned as he accepted the device from Green. "This looks cool!" he said before activating it on Froakie.
'Froakie: the Bubble Frog Pokemon. It secretes flexible bubbles from its chest and back. The bubbles reduce the damage it would otherwise take when attacked.'
"'Take when attacked'..." Aiden repeated to himself before smiling up at Froakie. "Looks like I chose a fighter like Torchic! I have a feeling the three of us are going to accomplish great things!"
"Torchic!" Torchic chirpped in agreement.
"Froakie!" Froakie added.
Aiden smiled at the both of them before returning them to their Poke Balls. "So," he said as he turned back to Green and Calem, "Where's the first gym at?"
"Excited already, huh?" Calem said. He then reached into his pocket and brought out a digital map. Upon opening it it revealed a holo image of the Kalos region. "There is a gym here in Lumiose City. But I advise you challenge him when you're strong enough. There is a gym in Santalune City-which is south of here-you could go to. The gym leader there specializes in Bug type Pokemon."
"Sweet!" Aiden said, "This one should be a breeze with Torchic by my side."
"But remember, though." Green added sternly, "Pokemon aren't just used for battles. They are also our friends. They are living, breathing creatures. So before you challenge a gym, battle some trainers so your bond could start to grow. The closer you are with your Pokemon, the stronger you are."
Aiden blinked before nodding. "Right." he said.

Yes, yes, I KNOW Green isn't a guy in the American Version. But honestly, Green sounds more like a guy name then Blue. But his Pokemon will be the ones from the game. Since this occurs in the game universe. And a bit of the manga.
