Mai heard footsteps behind her and turned to see Ken and Enyo coming her way. Raising her arm to wave at them, she said "Hey guys! You're right on time! We need to meet the Professor in Aquacorde town. Its just a quick walk from here." She waited until they reached her before she turned and pushed the large door open to leave Vaniville. She stepped through and started walking leisurely, hands raised behind her head. "Can you guys believe it! Really? We're gonna be trainers in a matter of minutes!" She squealed while doing a little spin.
When they entered Aquacorde, she looked around for sight of the Professor and she saw him sitting at a table to the left of town. Leading the way, Mai ran over and said hello.
"Hey there! Are you the Professor?"
"I certainly am! And you three must be the kids I sent those letters to." He said waving to them.
"Thats right. I'm Mai. This is Enyo, and this is Ken." She said pointing to them.
"Wonderful, why dont you three have a seat?" He said, gesturing to the open chairs. He waited until they were all seated before he pulled out a container from his bag. "Lets get right to it then. I sent you three letters because I need some new trainers to help me out with something. The Pokedex." Reaching into his bag again, he took out three of the litte devices and hand them each one. "That records information on pokemon. I need you three to help me record all the pokemon in this region, and to do that, you need your own pokemon to help you on your way." He pushed the bittkn on the container and it opened up, revealing three pokeballs. "There are three pokemon in here. Chespin on the left, Froakie on the right, and in the middle would have been a Fenniken but one of my scientists needed a fire type to study. Instead there is a Chimchar. That is a fire type pokemon as well. So, you guys get to take your pick. Ladies first as usual." He said with a smile.
Mai pondered which one to pick for a moment before reaching out and taking the one in the middle. "I'll go with Chimchar. Sounds really cute." She said, holding the ball in her hands and looking at it with awe.
"Wonderful choice! I advise you to nickname your pokemon as well to make it more unique. Well, whos next?" He asked, looking at the two boys.
