What in the actual hell happened? He turned his eye away from Cecil and the next thing he knew, she was coming back from a direction with a large amount of commotion with a Sneasel in tow. Wasn't she with that pink baby Pokemon? All that he could gather from her frantic pointing and excited jumping was that she went on some sort of adventure with Aster and that pink Pokemon and this Sneasel helped them out in one way or another. It's not like he could really understand what she was saying; she isn't some dog barking at people to tell them that little Timmy fell down the well and needs help.

It still did not explain why the Sneasel was there in front of him, but it looked like she managed to convince it to join Basil's team. And this is how he gained a Sneasel on his team. [color=8882be]"Well, that happened."[/color] Seriously, he got his starter, an egg, and another Pokemon in less than a day... The problem was that he did not catch his first Pokemon yet.

[color=8882be]Well, I'm gonna head off. It's time that I actually make my first move as a real trainer.[/color] Basil turned to Cyril with a kind, yet sheepish smile. [color=8882be]"I think I'll have to decline your offer for now. I want to see if I can strike out on my own or not. I hope to see you all again one day."[/color] With goodbyes said, he left the park and made his way through the city. There were many sights and sounds, but he would have to return another day; he could not put off making his real start on his journey. 

He took a deep breath at the edge of the city limits. [color=8882be]"Well, here goes nothing."[/color] He made his first step towards Route 1.
