"Hmm, I was told to come here by that old man and find the lab here, but all there is here are just normal houses, no labs," Kyoko thought to herself as she walked up to New Bark Town. When she arrived she was hesitating whether to ask someone for some help, until she heard from the skies "I'm about to get my first Pokemon!" She quickly jumped behind a tree from fear of the helicopter that was landing in New Bark. Somehow she manged to overhear some of the people's conversation "Why would someone need a helicopter to get here; Mommy Mommy lookie a mecha pidgey; Welcome to Johto. My name is Elm. So you must be-" "Wait a minute," she thought to herself, "that old man mentioned something about an Elm, maybe he knows where the lab is."
Again, hesitated to go up and simply knock on the door, she was just waiting for Elm not to be too busy with the other person he was with. After a while she finally decided to knock the door, only for Elm's visitor to leave right away. Elm soon turned to Kyoko who got slammed by the door and quickly asked, "Are you alright young lady?"
"I-I-I'm...o... k..."
"Pardon me, but are you by chance Kyoko?"
"Umm.. ye-yes."
"Oh, wonderful. Professor Oak told me you would visit me, so please come on inside."
"...k..."
So after getting up and entering his lab, Elm began to explain why she was sent here. "Professor Oak explained to me you're on a journey on your own, and have not one single pokemon in your possession?"
"Y-yea, I don't... really like... trapping them... and I also.. ran out of money."
"That's okay then, because I have here some pokemon that will love to join you on your journey. Plus, Oak told me to give you some money, about what was it $5000.
"I-is that okay... that feels like too much."
"Sure, besides he said he'll pay me back, so no problem here. Anyways I used to have only a choose between just three pokemon, but now I have many more, so pick which ever one you like."
And with that, Kyoko looked over her options. Some seemed nice and others seemed like they would dislike traveling with her, but then she found one that seemed to like her more out of all the rest.Kyoko then asked, "How about this one?"
"Oh, Lileep, sure. I'll have you know that's an extinct pokemon, but thanks to science they are now back on the face of the earth. I was also told to give you this, an official ID and a Pokedex, which is a high-tech Pokemon encyclopedia, developed to create further understands of Pokemon. Oak also said in return for all of this, you must help him catch many pokemon to fill out as many entries as you can, and what do you need to catch pokemon, just these pokeballs."
"Is that all I need?"
"Yes I assume s- oh wait, I forgot you could also give your pokemon a nickname, if you want to that is."
"How about Lotus."
"Sure, if that's what you want. Wait, almost forgot, Professor Oak wishes to see you at Mr. Pokemon's house, which is North of Cherrygrove, which is the next town over."
"I'll be sure to meet him then."
Now, after setting off into Route 29 she encountered her first wild pokemon, an Aron. "Oh," thought Kyoko, "maybe I should catch it since that's what Oak wants me to do. Go Lotus." Having never experience a really wild battle, she automatically threw a pokeball, thinking it would catch, but Aron broke out on the 2nd shake. Aron now used a Harden. Now Kyoko told Lotus to use an Acid to try and make it weaker, which did nothing to the wild Aron as it went for a Mud-Slap. Now Lotus used an Astonish, seeming to do not a lot of damage to Aron, but now it flinched. "Maybe this means it's ready to be caught," so Kyoko threw another ball but that failed too on the third shake. Aron now used Tackle, which Lotus seemed to take well. "Maybe a few more hits," so Kyoko told Lileep to keep Astonishing, and after what seemed to be forever with all the missing and flinches, Aron seemed as if it was ready to quit, so now Kyoko used another ball, that finally caught the Aron.
"So this is what it feels like to catch a pokemon. I feel bad for Aron, but I'll try to give it the rest and care it needs." But just then behind was the sound of a boy's voice saying, "Well that took you a while. It your first time catching a pokemon isn't it."Without looking to see who it was she ran in the opposite way the voice was coming from and then heard another voice from not so far away saying "Hey cutie!" Again, she ran away from the second voice and ended up running into Cherrygrove city, where she quickly took refuge in a near by pokemon center, hiding from those voices until a Nurse went up to her and asked if she and her pokemon were alright. She then remembered that Lotus and Aron are in need of healing, so she gave them to the Nurse, healing them in some sort of machine. After getting back her pokemon she then spent the rest of the day and slept at the pokemon center. Now early in the morning she departed towards Mr. Pokemon's house.
