[color=82c6cf]"You have to sit through my long-winded explanation of what these are~!"[/color] Professor Kalmia told the two boys, and handed them their Pokédexes. After listening to her explanation, Rory slid his light blue trainer card into it, and turned it on. It was empty, at the moment, but Rory decided to try it out, and pointed it at the Snorlax on the table,

[center][color=6ecff6][i]Pokédex Entry #79 – Slowpoke, the Dopey Pokémon. Extremely slow and sluggish, it doesn’t feel pain until 5 seconds after the blow. It fishes by dipping its tail in water and then doing nothing all day waiting for something to bite. To assist, a Slowpoke’s tail is flavorful, and can break off with no pain and grows back after a while.[/i][/color][/center]

[colour=6390F0]"Nice,"[/colour] Rory muttered to himself, before looking back at Professor Kalmia, who had two pokéballs in her hand, one of which she handed to Rory,

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

Pokédex Entry #280 – Spheal, the Clap Pokémon. Known to be bad at both walking and swimming, a Spheal’s preferred method of travel is rolling. Its thick fur shields it from all cold, and they’re known to drift to new locations on icebergs. When they’re happy or eating, they tend to clap their tiny limbs to show appreciation.

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

Rory decided that he wasn't going to give his Spheal a nickname - it was a nice name already. He pressed the button on his pokéball, and the pokéball grew, and Spheal beamed out,

[colour=96D9D6]"Spheal! Spheal!"[/colour] Spheal called out, smiling at Rory, and clapping its arms together. Rory's knelt down to stroke its fur, and smiled too.

From next to him, Rory heard Ezra call out to him, [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! I'm sure this will strengthen the bond between me and Eev- AUUUCH!"[/color]

Rory chuckled a bit, as Ezra flailed his arm - and his Eevee - around, before his Eevee landed on his shoulder.

[colour=6390F0]"Alright then! Let's see what we can do, Spheal!"[/colour] Rory smiled stepping back, and Spheal hopped forward so that he was able to battle Eevee.
