Professor Oak looked at the Pokemon in Robert's arms and nodded. "I understand. As long as you have Pokemon by your side, you'll be fine. Now then, Chad, do you still want a Pokemon?"

Chad nodded, stepping towards the table. He picked up his Pokedex, deciding to register the thing later. He looked at the three pokeballs: Bulbasaur, Squirtle, and Charmander. Niw which one was the right one...

While he was making his choice, Professor Oak picked up the second Pokedex and carried it over to Robert. It was a bew, sleek model, eith a variety of functions beyond your basic Pokedex. These were nearly impossible to get wuthout knowing somebody, and they were valuable research tools. Could ge trust these two with such a large task?

The old man handed Robert the Pokedex, his face becoming serioys for a moment. "Can I trust you to take care of this? To do your best with whatever you choose, be it battling catching, or something inbetween?"
