Starting Off on a Journey

[{Miral Paris}]

May approached the laboratory with feelings of excitement and a little fear. This was the first step toward becoming a Pokemon Master: Receiving the starter Pokemon. You know what, Amaya thought, I'm gonna put aside all my fears. My father.... My father would be proud. Finally, she reached the door. Taking a deep breath, she knocked two times, and stepped back.

A loud crash was heard directly after the knock. "SWEET MOTHER OF MEW!! RAICHU, HELP ME OVER HERE!" The sound of a defiant Raichu could be heard after. "Slugma, can you? Oh what am I saying, you have no hands! Just... Torkoal. Hide this mess, okay?"

The doors open, a boy standing in the doorway. He looked to be about 15, a cowlick sticking up from his green hair no matter how many times he tried to smooth it down. "Haii! I'm Kai. Professor Willow is busy right now, can I help you?"

[{Miral Paris}]

"Oh! Um, sorry to intrude. I'm here for my first Pokemon." May hoped Kai could help her, but truth be told she wouldn't have minded coming back later. Oh come on, May, she told herself, it's not that bad. Especially when it comes to Pokemon.

[[.Daisuke.]]

Daisuke, the young teenager male was riding a bicycle with a smile on his face. He was good with directions, or more of he got lucky half the time and this just happened to be the better half. Maybe it was the feeling of starting off in a New World? Whatever it was Daisuke pedaled faster seeing the place in a distance. As he approached his eyes saw two people, probably there for their starters too. Hitting the brakes and getting off the bike he walked up to the two people"Hello"he said with a grin on his face folding his bike into his bag.

May acknowledged the new boy with a nod. "Hi. Are you here start your Pokemon journey? I'm Amaya Naru, by the way, but people just call me May." Maybe we can travel together, she thought.

[[.Daisuke.]]

Daisuke smirked thinking that she was a new trainerHmm maybe I should ask her to travel with me since I never traveled with anyone when i was participating in the other regions. he thought but this was something that would be talked about later. Daisuke snapped out of his thoughts"Oh my name is Daisuke Urahara, but you can call me Dai"he said extending a hand.

[Bunny]

"Ooh! Your first Pokemon?!" Kai asked excitedly, pretty much just being a parrot. "Well I can help there! Come on in!"

The boy turned around, walking back into the lab. "Errmm... Slugma? Torkoal?" he called sheepishly. "We gotta pick those up now!! Where is Meditite? He can help us!" A pause sounded before a box was picked up. "Thanks Meditite! Now just put it on the table.... there!"

[[.Daisuke.]]

Daisuke walked in noticing how busy he was, he must have been Proffesor Willow's Assitant or Apprentice. "You seem really busy"he said with a light chuckle as he could tell from his expression.

(Hope you don't mind if I poof in X3)

Sixteen year old Ichiko Aimi hurried along through the small town. OH no! She thought in pure despair. I'm going to be late, Aren't I? Professor Willow is Going to postpone my journey, isn't she!. The young girl wasn't in top form today. she had accidentally slept in late.... Bad thing to do on the start of your journey.. Her hair, which was usually pulled in a tight bun, was down in a frizzy mess... She was just lucky that she managed to put on her floral T-shirt and denim skirt...Or she'd look even worse with Pajamas. Then, she spotted the laboratory, and noticed some people entering it. She quickly quickened her pace.... Then, in front of the lab, she stood. She stopped, and let out a sigh of relief...[/color]

(No problem, the more the merrier. Perhaps all three of us can travel together?)

No sooner had May entered the lab when another person arrived outside the door; this time it was a girl. Whoa, I didn't know this place would be busy today. She stepped halfway outside and welcomed the girl. May held out her hand and began, "Hello, I'm Amaya Naru. May for short."

[•Riolu•]

(^^ Thankies!!! That be Cool X3)

Ichiko turned towards the young girl. She smiled sweetly and grabbed May's hand, giving it a slight firm shake. "Pleasure to meet you May! My name is Ichiko Aimi!" She greeted. This is cool! She thought happily. Other new trainers! Maybe I'll have someone to travel with.... If they want to that is! "I take it your here for a starer pokemon as well. What pokemon do you plan to chose?" She asked rather curiously.[/color]

[{Miral Paris}]

"I'm glad to meet you too, Ichiko," May responded. She seems rather energetic. Oh dear, I hope I don't come across as too shy. "Well, ummmm... I haven't really decided which starter I want yet. I think I'll just go inside, meet all the Pokemon, and take whichever one warms up to me the most. That way, I'll know that I've made the right choice."

[•Riolu•]

"Oh...." Ichiko replied, rather intrigued by her method. "That's a great way to chose a partner!" She exclaimed with a small giggle. "You must really be dedicated to pokemon..."[/color]

[{Miral Paris}]

"Actually, I've only recently become interested in Pokemon, but you are right. I find them fascinating. I just really hope I succeed with them, better than...." At that point May's voice trailed off. "Nevermind. Let's go inside." With that, Amaya stepped once more inside the lab, and approached the table with Pokemon and Poke Balls sitting atop it.

[•Riolu•]

Ichiko was puzzled by that last sentence....Better than....what?... She thought... She mentally shrugged it out of her mind and walked inside the lab... It would be best not to pry on her past... The past was meant to be forgotten anyways.... She approached the table, and looked over the pokeballs. She knew exactly which pokemon she wanted...and she hoped they had one...[/color]
