Curtis's Beginning

[Curtis]

A cheery, eleven year-old boy approached the lab with his hands in his pockets and a slight grin on his face, excited to finally receive his first Pokémon. His good friend, a 15 year old by named Kero, had been training since he was ten, and now that Curtis's mother had finally let her only son set out and start his Pokémon journey, it was finally his time. He knocked on the door a few times and waited, whistling cheerily to himself.

Curtis had always wanted an Abra to start with, not for its evolved forms, but just because he found all Abra's very amusing. They slept most of the time, and were a bit slow witted, but still very cool in his opinion. His protective mother wanted him to start with a water or grass type, since she said fire types were far too dangerous, but Curtis decided he'd choose whichever Pokémon appealed to him most.

Curtis wore a black t-shirt and a pair of blue jean shorts, as well as gold chain around his neck. His mother gave him a backpack with camping supplies, food, and other things for him and the Pokémon he'd catch along the way. She also gave him a wallet full of money. (Don't know what country it's set in, so I'll just call it money, and now I guess I'll just wait.)

" come in" said the professor. inside the lab the professor waited for the trainer, a list of starter pokemon lay next to her on the counter.

[Curtis]

Curtis nodded and stepped inside the lab, following the professor. He glanced at the list of starters and studied it closely.

As Professor Kia had taken a break, Professor Clematis stepped in from the back room. "Hello. Are you ready to choose?" She said warmheartedly.

[Curtis]

Curtis thought for a moment, and than he snapped his fingers. "I'd like to start with a Treecko, if that isn't a problem. I'd rather start with an Abra, but... d'you know where I could find one?"

[Lily]

"Unfortunately..." she continued, "We do not have an abra here. but if you go a very long way, you may be able to find one. Anyhow, here is your Treecko and a bag full of stuff, including a pokedex, and pokeballs." She smirked, handing over the things.

[Curtis]

"Ah, thank you, miss." Curtis ssaid politely, grabbing his other pack in his right hand and holding the Pokéball with his Treecko in it in front of his face. "So this is it, huh? This is too good to be true."

[Lily]

"Oh, wait! We do have an abra!" She handed a pokeball to him quickly. "I almost forgot to give you your rare pokemon." She said, relieved. "Woldn't want to deprive you!" She said, laughing.

[Curtis]

"Really? Thank you very much, professor!" Curtis tossed the ball containing the Abra slightly, now even more excited than he already was He pressed the buttons on each Pokéball to shrink it, and than he attached to the belt that he was wearing. "So now I've got two pack, two Pokémon, and more money than I'll need. This is gonna be great!" Curtis turned to leave, but he stopped and thanked Professor Kia once again, making sure not to be rude.

(Long post... too long in my opinion.)

[Lily]

( That post is exactly what we are looking for! )

Clematis shook Curtis's hand and wished him luck. "Have fun, and you can call me anytime if you are in trouble!" She said.

[Curtis]

"Will do. Good luck on your research." Curtis replied after shaking hands, finally heading out the door.

[Lily]

She thanked him and waved goodbye.
