Sam and Shauna eagerly awaited their turn to draw from one of the toothpicks. When Tierno drew the first one and it was short, Sam had some hope, when Trevor drew next and also got a short one, her hope that she would be one of the lucky ones grew even more. Their choices were pretty short, so surely that meant there couldn't be an even shorter one?

So now that she figured she at least had the chance to receive one of the three Pokémon she was hoping that she would get even luckier and draw the longest. That way the choice she had first wanted would be hers.

Shauna drew after Rex and had a slightly smaller toothpick, but not by much. This left Sam last. She stared at the lone toothpick with bated breath as she reached out to pick it up. Holding it between thumb and forefinger she drew. Her toothpick was longer than Tierno and Trevor's but shorter than Shauna's and Rex's.
