Reno continued walking down the rock path. To his right there was a large lake, with different Water Pokemon jumping out of the water and diving back inside. To his left, more Pokemon hid inside of some thick trees, leaping from treetop to treetop and popping in and out of the bushes. As he continued, he saw many more different types of environments: from jagged boulders and soft sand, to a second lake that was frozen over somehow.

The one thing he didn't see, while walking down the path, was the professor. Then, finally, he came across a grassland environment. It must have been the field sector that the assistant was talking about, because at the top of a hill, the professor stood, holding a Chatot on his arm. He seemed to be having a conversation with the little bird. Reno didn't know what he should do: interrupt the Professor's conversation or wait for him to finish.

He didn't have to wait long, as the Professor suddenly turned and looked down the hill at him. He moved his arm and the Chatot flew toward Reno, landing right in front of the boy. [b]"Come on up."[/b] the Pokemon chirped [b]"Come on up, new trainer!"[/b]

The Chatot then flew back up the hill, returning to the professor's outstretched hand. As Reno walked up the hill, the professor took out a Pokeball and withdrew the Chatot. Once Reno made it to the top, the Professor held out his hand to shake, [color=c4df9b]"I'm Professor Poplar, and you must be Reno, the boy with the perfect score!"[/color]

Reno rubbed the back of his head with one hand and shook the professor's hand with the other. [b][color=7bcdc8]"Yeah, I made a few fifty-fifty guesses though, so some of it was luck."[/color][/b]

Professor Poplar laughed. [color=c4df9b][b]"Modest. That's an admirable trait."[/b][/color] As soon as he was done laughing he reached inside of his lab coat and pulled out three Pokeballs, still in their shrunken size. [color=c4df9b][b]"Anywho, this is what you came here for right, your first Pokemon?"[/b][/color]

Reno shook his head up and down, trying to contain his excitement to a normal level. 

[color=c4df9b][b]"Well, as I'm sure you know, you will be choosing from three Pokemon. These are Association approved Pokemon that are specifically bred to be starter Pokemon that form lasting attachments to their trainer. And here in Knoxville, these are your choices!"[/b][/color] With a flourish of his arm, the three Pokeballs flew out of his hand, grew in size, then emitted a red beam of light. Out of this light three Pokemon emerged. [b][color=c4df9b]"First, you have Bulbasaur, a popular choice. This Bulbasaur is a happy little lady. I've never seen her without a smile. Next, you have Fennekin, adored by many. This Fennekin is a calm and quiet one. It's really hard to tell what she's thinking. And finally, we have a rambunctious little Totodile. This little boy likes to live this life out loud. He bit me once, but he didn't mean to, we were just playing. He felt bad about it for hours... So, with all that said, what do you think?"[/color][/b]

Reno looked at the three Pokemon with a heavy heart. He knew this was one of the most important decisions he would ever make. After an entire minute of silence, he bent down in front of the Fennekin. [color=7bcdc8][b]"Hey there."[/b][/color] He said, sure to speak softly. [color=7bcdc8][b]"You wanna go on an adventure?"[/b][/color]
