The day had finally come for Niko to receive his first Pokémon and embark on his journey. Niko had been counting down the days until this moment for a long time. Ever since his 12th birthday, when he got the scholarship from Professor Oak. His mother and little sister accompanied him on a road trip from Celadon City all the way to Pallet Town where Niko would receive a starter Pokémon from Professor Oak.

Niko and his sister sat in the backseat of the car chatting about Pokémon, and his upcoming adventure. His mother wore a proud smile on her face, knowing that her son was taking a significant step toward his dreams. Niko himself was feeling a whole bunch of emotions. Excitement, nervousness, but also a little sad that his dad wasn’t here to see this… He hoped that one day, his dad would see him become a Coordinator, and be proud of him.

Upon their arrival, they headed straight to Professor Oak’s lab. There were other kids there, but also, no Professor Oak. Instead, there was a nice lady Professor called Professor Ivy. Niko wasn’t to fussed that Oak wasn’t there. He was more interested in the Pokémon. [color=pink]“Konichiwa. I’m Niko!”[/color] The pink haired boy exclaimed with boundless enthusiasm. Niko’s mother and sister were also there, providing moral support. 

They were led further into the lab where Professor Ivy introduced them to a bunch of her assistants. Niko waved and said hello to each and everyone of them. He got really excited when he saw the Mr. Mime though. [color=pink]“Oh my gosh, a Mr. Mime! It’s so cute!”[/color]

They were led into a room with the starter Pokémon where they were given a TOF kit, and everyone chose a starter. The other two kids, Cal and Amy chose first. That was ok, because Niko wasn’t sure what to choose. [color=pink]“Oh my gosh! What do I choose? There’s a Pikachu, oh but there’s a Jigglypuff too…”[/color] And then he saw it, and Niko’s eyes went wide with excitement, and he let out a gasp, and squealed. [color=pink]“Kawaii desu! I want you most of all!”[/color] He had chosen a Clefairy.

From there, Professor Ivy walked the group over to the hatchery, and the Professor let out her Marill. Niko could not contain his excitement. [color=pink]“Marill! I love Marill! I have a plushie of one at home! I have a bunch of plushies actually.”[/color] He scanned the Marill with his Pokedex.

He then sent out his Pokémon in a flash of light, a Clefairy appeared by his side. [color=pink]“But now I have something better than a plushie. My own real life Pokémon!”[/color] He squealed and gave his new starter Pokémon a hug. [color=pink]“You’re gonna be my best friend!”[/color]
