As if on cue, a flash of light from Robert's pokeball, and out came Dratini. The little dragon quickly wrapped itself around Robert's arm, nudging Petilil out of the way as it did so. "Dratini! Tini!" it cried, excited to finally go somewhere with it's trainer.

Meanwhile...

Chad entered the lab, making sure his camo vest was on right. Unferneath that he had short sleeve black shirt on, with a pair of black pants to match. He had messy black hair, and brown eyes tgat scanned everything they could. He hadn't been in Professor Oak's lab before, so he was both fascinated and confused by all the machines he saw lying around, including what looked like two pods connected by a huge power cable. The man himself stood by a table which housed 3 pokeballs and watched Chad approach with interest. 

"Welcome, welcome!" Professor Oak said, walking forward to shake the 17 year olds hand. "My name is Professor Oak, and this is my lab!" He gestured around at the rest of the building, clearly enjoying himself. He always loved giving new trainers their Pokemon and Pokedex, though if course not everyone got them. That was what made this meeting slecial, it had been years since he had given a Pokedex to a hopeful young trainer, and niw there were two! "I see your felliw trainer has yet to arrive, si let's introduce ourselves shall we? I am Professor Samuel Oak, but some people calle me the-"

"Pokemon Professor." Chad cut off, "I'm Chad, and I live here in Pallet Town. My dad said you were gonna give me a Pokedex and a Pokemon?" He'd heard the Professor's speech from his father a dozen time's over. He was hust lookung forward ti getting o the road.

Professor Oaj raised his eyebrow at the young trainer, but said nithing about the interruption. "Um, well, yes. But I'm afraid well have to wait for that until your fellow trainer arrives. It's a rule to allow both trainers to pick together. So until he arrives, how about you show me that Pokemon you have there?"

Chad grumbled something about late people, before grabbing the ball from his hip, pressing a button to enlarge it. "If you insist Professor. Here he is, go! Sharptooth!"
