Starter Pokemon
Lincoln and Professor Sycamore are currently going through a forest located south of Santalune City in Professor Sycamore's jeep.
"This is Santalune Forest, Lincoln; you should find some Pokemon that you haven't seen before here." said Professor Sycamore. Lincoln looks around the forest; he sees a yellow, wormlike Pokemon with a spike on top its head, crawling up a tree, three monkeylike Pokemon on top of a tree branch, and a small, light gray, birdlike Pokemon with an orange head and a black beak flying up from another tree branch.
"Whoa." said Lincoln in awe.
They soon exit the forest and continue driving down the road until they reach a nice little town that was right by a crystal-clear river.
"Here we are, Lincoln; Aquacorde Town." said Professor Sycamore. He finds a place to park the jeep and the two step out and start walking through the town, with Lincoln taking in the sights as they do.
The two wander around town; as they did, Lincoln saw all sorts of people with all kinds of Pokemon with them.
"So, where are we going, Professor?" asked Lincoln.
"There's a small area where citizens go to socialize with each other; the trainers I'm giving the starters to are going to meet us there." said Professor Sycamore.
"Hurry; we're going to be late!" said a female voice from behind the two, making them look to see four kids around Lincoln's age, running in the same direction that Lincoln and Professor Sycamore were heading in.
The first one was a tall, husky boy, wearing a black t-shirt that had a picture of what looked like a blue ice cream cone with eyes, orange cargo pants, and black and yellow sneakers.
The second was a shorter boy with orange hair, wearing a white-collared shirt under a blue tank top with a white pokeball logo on a part of it, charcoal pants, and lime green lace-up shoes.
The third was a girl with long, honey-colored hair, wearing a black tank top, a red skirt, black stockings over black sneakers, and a dark pink hat with white sunglasses over them.
The fourth was a tan-skinned girl with long brown hair with curly pigtails, wearing a dark pink t shirt that had three black bows on it, small, blue, denim shorts, and pink shoes.
As the four kids run start to run by Lincoln and Professor Sycamore, the tan-skinned girl trips on an uneven part of the sidewalk that she and the other kids were running on and starts to fall forward; out of instinct, Lincoln runs over and catches her.
"Are you okay?" asked Lincoln.
"Yeah, thanks for..." the girl started to say before she looks at Lincoln and stops as a blush forms on her face.
"Hey, Shauna!" the tall boy said as he and the other two kids that were with the girl come running over to her and Lincoln.
"You should really be more careful." said the girl with the dark pink hat.
"But you were all running also." said the girl now known as Shauna.
"Yeah, I guess; but you should still be careful." said the other girl.
"Thanks for catching her." the boy with the orange hair says to Lincoln.
"No problem." said Lincoln.
"Who are you?" asked the boy with the black shirt. "I don't remember seeing you around here before."
"I'm Lincoln." Lincoln replied. "I showed up in the Kalos Region over a month ago."
"I'm Tierno." said the boy with the black shirt now known as Tierno.
"I'm Trevor." said the boy with orange hair now known as Trevor.
"I'm Serena." said the girl with the pink hat now known as Serena. "And I'm pretty sure you heard me call out to her; so, you know the girl in your arms is named Shauna." Lincoln and Shauna look at each other as blushes form on their faces before they jumped apart, making the other kids giggle.
"S-Sorry." said Shauna.
"It w-wasn't your fault." said Lincoln.
"Anyway, we need to hurry; we're meeting up with Professor Sycamore to get our first Pokemon." said Serena.
"Umm, he's right here." said Lincoln as he points at Professor Sycamore.
"Oh!" said Serena.
"It's nice to meet you kids." said Professor Sycamore.
"Sorry we didn't notice you sooner." said Shauna.
"You were caught up in the moment, so it's understandable." said Professor Sycamore. "Let's talk at where we planned on meeting up."
"Yes, sir." said Serena.
The six start making their way to the meeting place; as they did, Lincoln and Shauna kept sneaking glances at one another, making them quickly look away whenever they made eye contact with blushes on their faces.
They soon reach an open area with tables and chairs on it and sit down at a row of them, with Lincoln and Shauna sitting next to each other with awkward expressions on their faces.
"So, who is receiving their first Pokemon today?" Professor Sycamore.
"I already have a Pokemon." said Tierno as he tosses a pokeball he had, releasing a red, lobsterlike, Pokemon.
"What's that?" asked Lincoln as he holds out his pokedex at Tierno's pokemon.
"Corphish, the Ruffian Pokemon. No matter how dirty the water in the river, it will adapt and thrive. It has a strong will to survive." said Lincoln's pokedex.
"I have one also." said Trevor as he tosses a pokeball, releasing a yellow Pokemon with red cheeks, and a lightning bolt-shaped tail. Lincoln points his pokedex at it.
"Pikachu, the Mouse Pokemon. It raises its tail to check its surroundings. The tail is sometimes struck by lightning in this pose." said Lincoln's pokedex.
"So, you two are getting your first Pokemon?" Professor Sycamore asked the girls who were there.
"You bet!" said Shauna with enthusiasm.
"I've been looking forward to getting my first Pokemon." said Serena.
"Very well." said Professor Sycamore. He opens the case he had with him and pulls out the three pokeballs inside; he tosses the first one, releasing a yellow, foxlike Pokemon with orange fur coming out of its ears, and an bushy, orange-tipped, tail.
"What's that Pokemon?" asked Lincoln as he points his pokedex at it.
"Fennekin, the Fox Pokemon. Eating a twig fills it with energy, and its roomy ears give vent to air hotter than 390 degrees Fahrenheit." said Lincoln's pokedex.
Professor Sycamore then throws another pokeball, releasing a brown, bipedal Pokemon with a green shell with spikes on it that reaches from its head all the way down its back to its tail; Lincoln points his pokedex at it.
"Chespin, the Spiky Nut Pokemon. The quills on its head are usually soft. When it flexes them, the points become so hard and sharp that they can pierce rock." said Lincoln's pokedex.
Professor Sycamore then throws the last pokeball, releasing a blue, froglike Pokemon, with white hands, and a ring of clouds around its neck; Lincoln points his pokedex at it as well.
"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." said Lincoln's pokedex.
"They all look so cool!" said Lincoln.
"So, which of these Pokemon would you girls like?" asked Professor Sycamore.
"You can pick first, Shauna." said Serena.
"Thanks!" Shauna replied as she runs over to the three Pokemon and starts looking them over.
"So have you made your decision yet, Shauna?" Professor Sycamore asked the girl.
"I think I'll pick Chespin." Shauna said when she sees the brown Pokemon, looking playful.
"Chespin is a grass type Pokemon." said Professor Sycamore as he gives Shauna Chespin's pokeball. "What about you, Serena; have you decided on your starter?"
"Yes; I would like Froakie." replied Serena, looking at Froakie.
"Very well." said Professor Sycamore as he gives Serena Froakie's pokeball. "Froakie is a water type."
"So, what are you going to do with Fennekin?" asked Tierno. Professor Sycamore turns towards where the fox Pokemon was, only to see it was walking over to Lincoln who was looking back at it; when Fennekin reaches him, it starts nuzzling Lincoln's leg, making him chuckle.
"Fennekin seems to like you, Lincoln." said Professor Sycamore.
"Yeah, I can see that." Lincoln replied with a smile.
"Perhaps you can put it on your team." suggested Professor Sycamore.
"Really?" Lincoln replied.
"Well, Trevor and Tierno already have Pokemon of their own, and I want Fennekin to have a good trainer." said Professor Sycamore. "Since you two already seem to have a bond, it makes sense that Fennekin goes along with you."
"If you're okay with it, then I wouldn't mind having Fennekin on my team." said Lincoln. Fennekin replies by leaping into Lincoln's arms and starts licking his nose, making him laugh. Professor Sycamore hands Lincoln Fennekin's pokeball.
"Fennekin's a fire type." said Professor Sycamore. A notification appears on Lincoln's poekdex, making him look at it.
"This says that Fennekin's a girl, she knows Scratch, Tail Whip, and Ember; she also has the Magician ability which lets her steal an item from a Pokemon she hits with a move." said Lincoln.
"So, what will you do now?" asked Professor Sycamore.
"I'm gonna try to catch more Pokemon for my team." said Lincoln. "I'm also going to train them before I start challenging Pokemon gyms."
"How about you travel with Shauna, Serena, Tierno, and Trevor for a bit?" suggested Professor Sycamore. Lincoln and Shauna look at each other, before looking away with blushes on their faces.
"I don't have a problem with that." said Lincoln. "It would let me get to know other people here in Kalos."
"I wish you all luck on your journeys." said Professor Sycamore. He then gives Shauna, Serena, Trevor, and Tierno, each a pokedex before he gets into his jeep and drives away. Lincoln looks at the other kids.
"Ready to get going?" asked Lincoln.
"I'm ready!" said Tierno as he starts doing dance moves.
"Let's head out!" said Shauna as she starts running off towards the north part of Aquacorde.
"We should catch up with her." said Serena before she, Lincoln, and the others run off after their friend.
Lincoln has just started his Pokemon journey. What will he experience in Kalos? Wait and find out.
