Since Leon lived in the same city as the pokemon lab, he hardly had to get up any earlier than usual. The teenager had every intention on carrying out his every day routine by helping out his Uncle Sampson at the pokemon lab, gathering supplies for packs, sorting papers, and keeping Swablu busy. It was a fairly boring job, but he did get paid a little bit for the help every once in awhile.
But today was going to be much different, and he could not have predicted that he would decide to go off on his own. Leon sat at his uncles desk and flipped through some files and found one with a familiar name. Faolan... Wasn`t that the last name of the Shadowbolt leader? He must`ve had a son... Alphonse "Allan" Faolan, sixteen, starter pokemon was a Totodile. They had similar tastes in pokemon types. Leon himself was fond of ground and water type pokemon, which was an odd combo. Some of his favorite pokemon were only obtainable at the pokemon lab.
Leon`s fingers tapped the desk as he closed the file and helped another person get a starter pokemon. They picked Torchic, a fire type of course. Most new trainers took a fire type pokemon, just to be on the safe side. His favorite pokemon was Magmar, but he could capture a Magby on a journey if he ever decided to go on his own. Once the trainer left, he stood up and took of his assistant lab coat.
"Uncle?" Leon asked.
"Yes?" Sampson replied.
"I want to start my own little adventure, can you get me a pokemon?"
Sampson came out of one of the back rooms and explained that he couldn`t since he wasn`t taking his lunch break. If he worked over time again Sampson would probably get hit over the head with a blunt object by one of the older professors. And with that, Leon`s uncle headed out.
"I cant be the only one here right now... Professor Mya? Professor Clark? Carter?"

Professor Clark heard his name being called, but vaguely. "Hm?" he quietly returned. He was reading through the records of the Pokemon that had left from here, and found that they were out of females for nearly all the basic starter Pokemon. As he was reading, he would occasionally make a note as to which Pokemon they needed more females of. When he looked up after finishing the first page, he saw someone standing in the main room. He wasn't in the back room where the Pokemon were kept, but in the small, private office to the right of the main room when one would walk straight into the lab.
Upon seeing someone, he figured they of course wanted a Pokemon, and Sampson was on his lunch break right now. With a quick sigh, he stood up and walked into the main part of the lab. When he saw just Sampson and Leon, he wondered why his name had been called. "What's the matter?" Clark asked, rather concerned at the moment.

Leon waited for the other of the three professors to come over before he began to speak. He really didn`t want to repeat himself more than once, but his mind was in another place right now. Now he would have to face the choice that so many other pokemon trainers had to, he had to select only one starting pokemon. Leon had already narrowed down his list to three pokemon, both were only obtainable at the pokemon lab and no where else. Two of the pokemon would be much easier to raise, the third one would take a lot of time and training to evolve it.
When Professor Clark finally got to him, he crossed his arms as if he was about to give some kind of big speech. At first nothing came out of his mouth, which was fairly usual since he wasn`t much of a talker, but finally he found the words he wanted.
"I think I want to go off on my own pokemon journey, I asked my uncle but he said he couldn`t help me until he was finished with his lunch break." Leon explained to Clark, even though he had probably heard the same speech before a thousand times. "I was thinking about taking a Larvitar, Squirtle, or Mudkip on my outting. What do you think?"

Professor Clark stared at Leon blankly, as if he didn't understand what he had just said. After a few seconds, he finally managed to reply.
"I see. And you've thought about this decision thoroughly, I presume? You seem to have made up your mind. I'll help you the best I can." Clark went into the back room, leaving Leon there to wonder what he was doing, most likely. He grabbed three pokeballs and returned with them to the front of the lab. He called out all three Pokemon to let Leon see these Pokemon for himself.
Squirtle! The Squirtle was quite enthusiastic and very eager. She didn't know which way to turn, for there were many fascinating things in the lab to her, and she wanted to inspect everything at once.
Kip? The Mudkip was a bit dumbfounded at the whole scene. He looked around blankly, as the professor had stared at Leon blankly. He didn't know what he was supposed to do.
Lar. The Larvitar was quit proud of himself, and thought he was better than the other two Pokemon here. He crossed his tiny arms and closed his eyes. He wanted nothing to do with the other Pokemon. They simply weren't good enough for him.
Clark nodded towards the three Pokemon and instructed Leon. "Since you are the only one that can choose which Pokemon you think will be the best for you, here they are. You can spend some time with them, and then choose one. If you're still having trouble, I'll try to help you more, but this is the best way to do it." Clark offered a smile. "Of course you're familiar with the starter kits. You can choose the one you like yourself. I'm sure you won't have any trouble with that." Clark sat down in the chair behind the desk that was located by one of the three windows and waited for Leon to make his decision.

"Are there any Larvitar in the wild, or is this the only place to get them?
Leon was a bit disappointed that the Larvitar wasn`t the one that he worked with most of the time, but the more he thought about it the more he narrowed down his list. It was likely that a Larvitar could be captured along the way while Mudkip and Squirtle were much much harder to find.
Now that he was actually seeing the pokemon, Leon decided that he would probably want one of the water pokemon and was leaning more towards Squirtle. But just to make sure, Leon knelt down and looked at each of the pokemon to see which was the most playful. He really wanted to make a connection with one of them, so his choice would be really clear.
"Hey there little guys, do you want to play?"
(Are they all males? I was hoping for a female pokemon xD I love getting female starting pokemon lol)

Professor Clark watched as the Pokemon showed their true selves to Leon. "Yes, Larvitar can be found when you get to Smokie Mountains, just north of Entei City. They're not rare, but they're not that common, either. Mudkip can be found at Meadow Mill in Somerset City, but they are extremely hard to find. Squirtle, on the other hand, can't really be found anywhere but here. We import them from other regions, and we haven't yet been able to get enough of them to populate our area."
The Squirtle noticed Leon when he bent down and asked a question, but hadn't really paid much attention to him before now. Hearing that he was up for playing, the Squirtle grew even more excited. She ran to Leon, brushed her tail up against his leg, then ran away. She looked back when she was quite a few feet away from him and laughed, daring him to chase after her. The Mudkip had since given up and laid down, for he didn't care much about playing. Though he loved company, he didn't feel like playing much. The Larvitar grew angry due to the immaturity of the Squirtle, and he walked over to his pokeball that was now on the floor and tapped it. He had went back into his own pokeball by himself, something most pokemon didn't do. He wanted a partner that was mature and strong like him, not that wanted to play all the time. This wasn't the one he wanted to be with.
The Squirtle had already grown very fond of Leon. Observing this, Professor Clark filled Leon in on this information, as if he hadn't already figured it out for himself. "It's true when the say a Pokemon picks their trainer, that the trainer doesn't pick the Pokemon. And it looks like she's picked you." Clark smiled at the behavior of the three Pokemon, as he found it quite amusing what the Larvitar had done and what the Squirtle was doing. He figured he already knew which Pokemon would be leaving the lab within a matter of minutes.

As soon as the little game of tag ensued, Leon was back to his feet as he followed after the playful little turtle. Leon didn`t chase after her at full speed, that wouldn`t have made it any fun for them, so he ran after her a little bit slower than normal. When her back was turned towards him, he noticed that the Squirtle`s tail was a little more bushy than the normal Squritle. Finally when he caught her, Leon scooped Squirtle up in his arms and tickled her. Thats about the same time that Leon noticed that it was a female pokemon. "You`re a pretty little girl aren`t you?" Leon chuckled, then looked back to Professor Clark and nodded his head. This Squirtle was the one he wanted to take for sure, since neither of the other two seemed interested in him. Leon already had a couple of supply backpacks made up, he was organized unlike his uncle. "I`ve got a back pack of supplies made up already, I`ll take that and save us the trouble of collecting the stuff." Leon replied, stroking the turtle. "Thanks a lot for helping me out, my uncle should have... but you know how much of a skatter-brainiac he is."Pokéballs x2 Luxury Balls x2 Potions x2 Lava Cookies x3 Pokédex x1 Badge Case [img]http://www.pokemonelite2000.com/rsitem004.png[/img] Pokéballs x2 [img]http://www.pokemonelite2000.com/rsitem011.png[/img] Luxury Balls x2 [img]http://www.pokemonelite2000.com/rsitem013.png[/img] Potions x2 [img]http://www.pokemonelite2000.com/rsitem038.png[/img] Lava Cookies x3 [img]http://www.pokemonelite2000.com/rsitem296.png[/img] Pokédex x1 [img]http://www.pokemonelite2000.com/rsitem196.png[/img] Badge Case (Lol thank you xD Female starters are so much fun)

Clark smiled as Leon made his decision to take the Squirtle. He nodded back to him, then quickly jotted down the information for the records and the information Leon would need to know about his new Squirtle. He picked up the two pokeballs, recalled the Mudkip, and restored them in their proper place in the holding room. Those two would find someone that suited them, but it just wasn't the right time yet. When he returned, he had a couple of important things to say, some that he wouldn't say to others. "It's not a problem to help you. I just hope you know what you're getting yourself into. It is a lifetime commitment, you know." Clark paused as he handed Leon the information he had just wrote about the Squirtle, trying to quickly think of anything else Leon may need or need to know. "Oh! Do you have a Pokedex and a badge case? Those prove to be very handy."You have received a starter Pokemon!Name: ? Gender: Female Level: 5 Ability: Torrent Attacks: Tackle, Tail Whip

Leon nodded his head, as he picked up his Squirtle`s pokeball from the table behind Clark. He set his little turtle down on the floor, then lifted his backpack over one shoulder. Squirtle clung onto his leg, with her big bright eyes batting at him. She was just too cute of a pokemon to be real, like a stuffed plush that he would have had when he was younger.
Its funny how fate throws one for loops, Leon had come to the lab this morning planning on taking a Magby or Bonsly out on an adventure, then his choices changed until he finally found his favorite little female Squirtle.
"Yeah, its all in the back pack." Leon replied, "I know what I`m getting myself into, just think of it this way. I`m doing field research for you guys, by gathering data on different pokemon. Heh, maybe i`ll become a gym leader too! See you later Professor Clark, I`ll make you guys proud."
Leon left, and ran into Sampson outside and said their goodbyes.
