It was hot that afternoon. He should have left earlier in the morning to avoid the heat of the sun burning brightly at its peak. But there had been so many things to check and double check that Alec hadn't left home until he would have to tramp through the muggy summer air. A thin bead of sweat trickled down from his blue hairline, teasing the edge of his vision until he swiped it away with an irritable hand. The lab couldn't be that much farther away, could it?
Alec walked with his gaze cast down, watching himself place one foot in front of the other. As he walked, he pondered about pokemon. Now that he was finally free of his family and responsibilites, a world of opportunities lay before him. He reached his hand into his pocket to clutch the bit of money there, reassuring himself it was still present. The road to Champion would be a hard one, but he could do it. It wasn't like life had been easy up to this point. He needed a pokemon who would stand by him through the trials with a stout heart and heavy hand. Were there any particular pokemon that exhibited those traits? Perhapse a fire type, although that felt stereotypical to him. He would just have to get to the lab and see.
Speaking of the lab, Alec could finally see the large white building, surrounded by empty, spacious fields. He lengthened his stride, a bit more energy sneaking into his step. He was almost there, perching on the brink of adventure. No matter what happened, this afternoon was going to change his life. A small smile crept across Alec's face as he thought this, leaping up the stairs in front of the door. He raised his fist and rapped purposfully on wooden barrier. He was ready.

Birdy;;[/i][/size][/font] ♫ so come on, get it on,
i don't know what you're waiting for,
your time is coming don't be late, hey hey ♫ Professor Apple Blossom wasn't really doing much. Just making sure the data on the most recent experiment was correct, which wasn't taking too long since as usual everything was all organised and in order. The Professor looked up as she heard a knocking on the door. Ah, something to do! Giving out a Pokémon would be a useful thing to do with her time until something interesting came up, which it might do at some point. She hoped. Today had been great, but she hadn't done much so far!
Hurrying over to the door, the woman reached out and grabbed the handle, opening the door and smiling her usual welcoming smile at Alec. Right, she was ready to see what this kid had to offer. Perhaps he'd be quick, but then again maybe he'd want to take his time. Maybe he hadn't given his starter any thought, which always annoyed her greatly. After all, even if they'd run off from somewhere and decided to get a Pokémon, surely they would have at least considered briefly what Pokémon would be best for them?
Anyway, this boy hadn't said anything yet, so she could hardly judge him. "Hi, I'm Professor Apple Blossom! You must be here for a starter! Come right in!" she said, closing the door behind Alec. She kept smiling, but thankfully had been doing this job long enough to make it more friendly than creepy or patronising. She glanced over at the drawer where she kept the starter's Pokéballs, then back at Alec. "So, what Pokémon do you want to see to choose your starter from? It's always best to see their personality first." she asked.

Alec managed to return a small smile at the friendly professor. He looked around as he walked into the lab, wondering where the pokemon would come from. Professor A.B called his attention back to the matter at hand.
"So, what Pokémon do you want to see to choose your starter from? It's always best to see their personality first."
Alec jammed his hands in his pockets, thinking fast. He wanted to say 'can I see them all' but that felt greedy to him, and he didn't want to waste the Professor's time. Biting his lip, Alec quickly blurted "Could I see a Charmander, Squirtle, Bulbasaur, Torchic, Totodile, and Treecko please?" He cast his gaze back to the ground, feeling abashed. He knew he was being indecisive, but he wanted to make sure this decision was perfect.

Birdy;;[/i][/size][/font] ♫ so come on, get it on,
i don't know what you're waiting for,
your time is coming don't be late, hey hey ♫ The Professor nodded as he requested six Pokémon. That was quite a few, and she wasn't sure whether that was due to him having not thought about it or simply liking a lot of Pokémon and keeping his options open. He hadn't made that much of a pause, so she assumed he was simply trying to see a variety. That was fine, she supposed, although with that many Pokémon she would probably only be able to show him one of each kind. That was fine. "Sure, I'll and fetch them," she nodded, hurrying off to collect the Pokéballs requested.
When she returned, Apple Blossom was followed by six Pokémon. The Charmander scurried over to Alec, sitting himself down in front of the boy and watching him expressionlessly. Squirtle hopped over to see if the Charmander would play with her, but the salamander simply batted her away with an irritated grunt. Squirtle turned to Bulbasaur, who by the dinosaur's white skin and red eyes was an albino. Bulbasaur grinned, and she dived at Squirtle and two rolled over playfully. Totodile snapped his jaws, trying to make himself look tough and showing off strong jaw muscles. He walked confidently over to Alec, nodding to him in respect as the Treecko- a shiny- wondered over as well. The Treecko seemed cautious, a little shy. Torchic bounced past him and she leapt up to settle on Alec's shoulder, chirrping happily.

Alec couldn't help but smile at the sight of the six pokemon. The idea of being in a room with so many rare creatures was enough to make any new trainer excited. But the fact that he got to keep one was even more exhilerating.
The Squirtle and Bulbasaur he discounted immediatly. While he was sure playing was a good thing, Alec needed a pokemon who wanted to work hard. He would leave those two girls for a trainer better suited to their bubbly natures.
The Charmander caught his eye, but he wanted to make sure the fire type was focused and not just grumpy. An irritable partner would cause trust issues later on that could bring about the downfall of the team. The Totodile was also impressive. He obviously had a fighting streak in him. While the Treecko was tempting with his shiny hide, Alec was worried about his shyness. Stifling a sigh -who knew this would be so hard?- Alec moved forward to engage the pokemon and see how they reacted.
"Hello there." he said, holding out his hand between the Charmander and Totodile. While a hand shake might not be the most loving thing to do, the young man was at a loss what else to do. He turned his head to smile at the Torchic bouncing on his shoulder. "Any of you want to help me battle our way to the top of the world?"

The Charmander looked at it for a moment, before mumbling something inaudible in Pokéspeak and awkwardly but half-heartedly shook the hand, seeming to be quite grumpy but with some effection and caring deep down. Totodile gave Alec an energetic handshake, grinning and nodding eargerly in response to his question. The Water type wanted to get out into the world! Torchic hopped up and down excitedly too, seeming a little more childish but eaqually happy. ooc// Sorry, not much time

Inside, Alec's heart leaped as the Totodile enthusiasticly returned his hand shake. The little water type was everything he could hope for in a pokemon, tough, friendly, and excited for adventure. Yes, he would be perfect. While Alec regretted having to leave the Torchic behind, he wanted someone a little more mature for his starter.
He gently reached up to pick up the Torchic and placed her on the ground. "Sorry," he told her, "but may I have Totodile please?" He addressed this last part to the Professor, only semi-waiting for an answer. He was already tumbling various nicknames over in his head.

Birdy;;[/i][/size][/font] ♫ so come on, get it on,
i don't know what you're waiting for,
your time is coming don't be late, hey hey ♫ Totodile hardly dared to believe his luck at finally being accepted to travel with a trainer on their journey. He'd been waiting for something like that to happen for, like, forever! The Torchic looked a little disappointed, but nodded, understanding that this sort of thing happened and she should just move on and get another trainer eventually, or maybe end up in the wild again. Professor Apple Blossom returned her to her Pokéball along with all the other starter Pokémon, returning these to the drawer they came from. Now all that was left was to hand over the Pokéballs and send Alec off on his way. She put Totodile's Pokéball in his hand, before grabbing a load of the usual starter's items in a drawstring bag and handing them over as well. Right, that was everything. Alec was all set to leave for his journey! "Phew! Well, I suppose all that's left now is to wish you good luck. Have fun on your journey and I hope you'll go far! I'm sure you and Totodile will get one well!" she called as the boy would be leaving. Alec recieved his starter stuff! He may now continue to Route One. #158- Totodile, Male, Lvl 5 Moves: Scratch, Leer  Pokeball x10  Potion x5  Antidote x3  Burn Heal x3  Ice Heal x3  Awakening x3  Parlyz Heal x3  Revive x2
