[indent]Today was the day, the day Logan got his official starter pokemon. Logan woke up refreshed and ready for the day. As he rolled his shoulders and rubbed the sleep from his eyes he could tell it was going to be a good day. Logan was greeted by a happy little Golett he called Oleg. Oleg had been his best friend for the better part of seven years. [color=aquamarine]"Golett!"[/color] Said the Automaton pokemon excitedly seeing it's partner finally awake. [color=orange]"Good Morning to you too bud. Ready to make a new friend today?"[/color] Asked Logan as he stood patting Oleg on the head. [color=aquamarine]"Go-lett!"[/color] Answered the ghost type in an affirmative manner. Logan chuckled as he got dressed. He loved his pokemon's enthusiaam. He remembered when his dad first brought Oleg home. The Automaton nearly knocked him over in a hug when Logan's father told it that Logan was it's new master. Logan knew even then Oleg was going to be his best friend. Once Logan was dressed he shouldered his bag and turned to Oleg. [color=orange] "Alright everything's ready then. Let's get something to eat downstairs then head out."[/color] Logan mentioned gesturing Oleg to follow. [color=aquamarine]"Golett Go!"[/color] Exclaimed Oleg as they followed Logan.

Downstairs in the lobby of the Pokemon Center that the pair was staying at it was already hussling and bussling with activity. People purchasing supplies, trainers healing their pokemon, and other patrons just relaxing or chatting with others. Standing in line for the Mart Logan noticed a pair of children interacting with their new pokemon. A boy and a girl with their Froakie and Fennekin respectively. They were bragging how cool and cute their new pokemon were. It reminded him of the first time he took Oleg to school. Where everyone else had their Eevees and Electrikes from Route 10 Logan had one of the more rare pokemon to show up among the stones of Menhir Trail. Well that is until about a month later another kid came to school with a Hawlucha. Logan wasn't sore about it for too long. He wasn't one to hold a grudge. After stocking up at the Mart and grabbing a bite to eat Logan and Oleg left the Pokemon Center and headed towards Professor Sycamore's lab.

As they walked along Southern Boulevard, Logan and Oleg could see the hustle and bustle wasn't just contained within the Pokemon center. People and Pokemon of all shapes and sizes walked the streets of Lumiose. They saw a short man dressed to the nines walking his Furfrou with a fancy grooming that made it look like an ancient emporor. They even saw a young woman with fiery red hair riding a Rapidash down the middle of the street. Logan was just amazed at all the kinds of people and pokemon. Especially the pokemon. He wanted to see and meet them all, and hopefully catch and get to know as many as possible personally. But for now he was happy with just Oleg and whoever he finds at the Professor's lab. Speaking of the lab, when Logan and Oleg finally arrived they were awestruck by the building. It was bigger than Logan imagined, but then again it was in Lumiose the biggest city in Kalos. Once inside they were greeted by an assistant and told to wait a moment while they fetched the Professor.

"Good morning young trainer! Welcome to my lab. I am Professor Sycamore, but you probably knew that already didn't you? How can I help you today?" Asked the Professor introdcuing himself. [color=orange]"Good morning Professor! My name is Logan, Logan Snow. I'm from Geosenge Town. I've come to pick up my official starter pokemon so I can start my Journey."[/color] Explained Logan with a big smile. "Snow you say? From Geosenge Town? You wouldn't happen to be that spry little fellow with the Golett following him around everywhere would y..." The Professor started to say before being interupted by Oleg. [color=aquamarine]Go Lett!"[/color] The excitable Automaton piped in. "Ah! So it would seem! It's been so long since I've visited Hotel Marine Snow. You've both grown so much. Well then Logan it's about time you ventured out on your own." Said the Professor as he turned and gestured for Logan to follow him. [color=orange]"I know, but I've been busy helping with the hotel. It's grown fairly popular these past few years. Mom and Dad finally broke down and hired more help so they gave me the time off to travel like I wanted."[/color] Explained the young trainer as he followed the Professor.

It seemed the Professor had led him to his office where in the middle of the room was a table with three Pokeballs on it. Pushing each of their buttons the Professor released each pokemon inside. A Froakie, a Fennekin, and a Chespin appeared on the table in a flash of red light. "Choose wisely my friend. Each one is special in their own way." Stated the Professor. Logan nodded and began to introduce himself to each pokemon. The Froakie could care less and spit frubble in Logan's face before turning it's nose away. The Fennekin was shy and simply hid behind it's tail as Logan offered his hand to sniff. The Chespin on the other hand was just as excitable as Oleg as it climbed up Logan's arm and sat itself on his shoulder as it nuzzled it's prickly fur on his neck. [color=orange]"I think we have a winner Professor."[/color] Laughed Logan as he reached a hand up to pet the grass type. 

"Indeed we do! Would you like to name him?" Asked the Professor as he turned to his desk and picked up a few items. [color=orange]"Him? You're a boy, huh? Let's see...how about Rook? Like the chess piece?[/color] Asked Logan to the Chespin. [color=limegreen]"Ches!"[/color] Exclaimed the newly named pokemon positively. "Rook it is then. A fitting name that it can grow into. From the rookie it is now to the defensive powerhouse it is destined to become. Here, some parting gifts. A Pokedex to record your journey and register the pokemon you meet, some spare Pokeballs for when you want to make new friends, and finally Rook's Pokeball." Offered the Professor as he handed the items to Logan. [color=orange]"Thank you Professor. If there is anything you need here is my holocaster info. Thanks again Professor. It was nice to finally meet you face to face. See you around."[/color] Said Logan as he left after putting away his gifts and offering his holocaster info. "Farewell Logan! Take care of yourself, and especially your new friend!" Called out the Professor as Logan left his office.

Once back outside he set Rook on Oleg's shoulder and introduced them to each other. Logan didn't have to try hard as the two pokemon were instant friends. Smiling at his growing family Logan decided it was time for step two of list of goals. Find and battle all the Gym Leaders in Kalos. Oringinally his first target was Clemont there in Lumiose, but Logan discovered he needed four badges to battle him. So since he was so close to the Route 4 gate Logan settled for Santalune. Checking his map when he finally got to the gate he realized he wouldn't make it before sundown. Shrugging it off as a chance to know what it was like to be a real travelling trainer he walked on until lunch time. Lucky enough He had stopped near a park. With beautifully trimmed hedges and gorgeous fountain Logan found a nice place to sit and eat and feed his pokemon.[/indent]
