As Ryley was introducing himself to his new partner, he realized something. It needed a name. Well, it would probably be a good idea to know what gender it was first. He decided to take an educated guess in asking.

[color=fff200]“Girl…?”[/color]

A small nod from the chikorita brought a flood of relief to Ryley. One awkward situation successfully avoided. Now then, on to naming.

[color=fff200]“I assume you’d like a name to go by”.[/color] A nod in response before he continued. [color=fff200]“So, I’ll take a shot in the dark for names, and you tell me what you think, if that’s okay with you”.[/color] Another nod. Time to let the games begin

[color=fff200]“Leaf”[/color]

Nope.

[color=fff200]“How about Tulip?”[/color]

Still nope.

[color=fff200]“Rose? Daisy”
[/color]
Nope, and nope.

[color=fff200]“Mulch”[/color]

DEFINITELY NOPE.

[color=fff200]“Would Fern work?”[/color]

A simple nod ended the back and forth.

As Ryley and Fern were deciding a name, the next two people in line choose their starters. For little miss scion, a nidoran M. For the younger looking teen, an eevee. Done talking, Ryley thought about their choices.

Of course the purple haired fashion heavy girl would choose a pokemon to match her hair. He hoped she wouldn’t treat the little guy like a pet. 

As for the boy’s decision, it was a whole other story. Eevee is a very special pokemon, what with it’s multiple evolution possibilities. Ryley couldn’t tell what the boy was thinking based on his decision. However, when he feed the eevee a pokeblock, Ryley decided he was a nice guy. In fact, it would be nice to talk to him. He motioned Fern to follow.

Ryley was beaten to the punch by the confident boy. Waiting for a break in the conversation wasn’t too bad though, so Ryley settled for that. The confident boy introduced himself as Blake (and his swinub as Swinub), and asked if the smaller boy could share a pokeblock. There! A break in the conversation! Ryley stepped forward and joined in the conversation.

[color=fff200]“Smart thinking, bringing pokeblocks. I probably should have too. Yay hindsight…”[/color] Ryley shook his head before continuing. [color=fff200]“Oh! Probably should introduce myself. I’m Ryley, and this is my new partner, Fern. Nice to meet you!”[/color]
