[color=82c6cf]‘You have to sit through my long-winded explanation of what these are~!’[/color] As the professor explained, Erza extended a hand to take his own pokédex. Red and black in color, it was a very elegant item to hold - as well as an absolute need for every pokémon trainer. While the professor went ahead and began explaining, Erza fidgeted with the object, picking his trainer card, inserting it again, pressing one or two buttons just to see what they did. Amazing, this was an exceptional device and Erza instantly knew that he'd need to take a great deal of care with it. No losing it together with your bag allowed, which meant: Triple the care if you fly on a Tropius.

They were paid for being trainers? Great, so every pokémon caught meant money. Money meant pokéballs, which means more pokémon caught. That means experience and skill, which meant winning battles - which meant more money, more pokéballs. Erza's eyes almost turned into a pair of pokédollar's symbols as his mind began calculating how amazing this was. Now then, the moment had came. Professor Kalmia began clicking a few buttons on her computer, two pokéballs appearing on the container next to it. Erza was already biting his under lip and rubbing his hands nervously together as the woman approached him with his first pokémon:

[color=6ecff6][i][center]- You've obtained Eevee! -

Pokédex Entry #133 – Eevee, the Evolution Pokémon. It’s a very rare Pokémon known to have a very unstable genetic makeup. Depending on where it lives, it is known to use evolution into different forms as means to survive harsher climates. It has eight currently known evolutions.

- Would you like to give Eevee a nickname? -[/center][/i][/color]

[color=00b300]"Uooooooooh!"[/color] Erza excitedly shouted as he took the pokéball, seeing the message appearing in his pokédex already. An Eevee?! No way! The boy immediately took the pokéball from her hand and in the same instant, a red light flashed from the small round container, releasing the brown, rare adaptive pokémon from it. Erza looked at the small creature with teary eyes as he kneeled down to gently pat it's head. 

[color=663300][b]"Vee![/b][/color] The evolution pokémon cried, it's long ears twitching as it was patted. Erza looked down at the pokédex, thinking about the possibility of giving the pokémon a nickname. He began typing onto the pokédex, but eventually erased it all and decided to not give the Eevee a nickname. [color=00b300]"I'm sure I can think of something better later, you know? That and, uh, you have many possibilities of evolution, so I don't want something unfitting.. Now, then!"[/color] Using the pokédex device, Erza briefly checked his pokémon known moves, elaborating strategies on his head already.

The boy raised up with a wild grin latched onto his face, extending his left arm and pointing his index finger towards Rory, who had just received a Spheal. Eevee kept jumping into the air, trying to bite Erza's finger - the boy didn't even realize. 

[color=00b300]"So! Me and you both got our first pokémon and I'm sure you're excited as ever to check our pokémon out. Let's have a pokémon battle!"[/color] Eevee's teeth got dangerously close to Erza's wiggling finger. [color=00b300]"I'm sure this will strengthen the bond between me and Eev- AUUUCH!"[/color] The pokémon finally succeeded, causing Erza to shake his hand and get Eevee off his finger. The pokémon eventually landed on Erza's shoulder and glared at Rory with a burning fire in it's eyes. Well, despite it's attitude, it seemed to share the same passion as Erza, who was staring at Rory with the best of his challenging expression, expectedly awaiting his answer.
