"Oh no!"  The professor said, shaking his head.  "Not at all.  To be completely honest I'm usually up before this, but I saw you two through the kitchen window and figured you'd be both be up for as early as a start as possible."  He nodded to Haruki.  "Yes, that's one of its applications but there's a bit more to it."  He held the device up as he spoke.  "There's also a map here."  He turned it on and showed her where the map was.  "A radio."  Again, an step by step tutorial on how to go about turning on the radio.  "It can be used to take/send calls, and record numbers."  This was given the briefest of explanations.  "Capture videos, and view streaming videos."  Again, he showed them.  Then he grinned. "This is actually the latest model and I'm really proud of it since I've been able to add a few really cool new tools.  First and foremost there's this."  He brought up a section that allowed the user to download and install apps.  "This."  A calculator function.  "And most vitally, and its a bit embarrassing to admit it took so many generations to add this" a flashlight.   He handed them both a pokegear.  "Now take care you too.  This world can be a dangerous place, even without those shadow things lurking around."  

"Wow thanks!"  Almond said, looking at the balls and the gear.  "We really appreciate this."  The old man nodded and offered each of the new trainers a hand and in return the professor expressed he always felt happy to help new trainers get started on their paths.  

Oak started moving out of the way but then stopped.  "Oh.  Silly me!  In my old age I'm starting to forget things."  His hands disappeared into his pockets and he handed them each three pokeballs.  "I'm sorry that there's only three for each of you.  Usually I like to give a new trainer five, but I'm a bit short at the moment.  Also, before I forget about this too I've taken the opportunity to add my contact into the systems in the chance you'll need any help."  He looked around and then crouched down a little to talk closer to both of them.  "Also, I wasn't sure what would be the best way for dealing with those shadow things.  It's what kept me up most of the night.  The number for the Pewter city police force is on there too encase you feel bringing them in is the best way to go."  He stood up straighter and this time managed to move aside without remembering anything.  "You kids, take care.  Don't hesitate to call if you need anything."

Almond nodded and decided to head out.  He hated to be rude(to people he genuinely liked) but time was of the essence.  "See you later professor Oak!"  Then he stepped out the door and started down the path to become a pokemon master(world savior which may or may not be equal to a pokemon master.)  He got a few yards away from the house before stopping to check out the map.  "ER."  He turned to Haruki.  "Do you remember how to find the maps on these things?  I didn't want to say anything to the professor for fear it might worry him, but I'm terrible with electronics.  On two separate occasions a cell phone just went up in flames in my hands."
