It begins [Starter-Complete]

June Day 1

Rakutsu walked the long path of the great city to the Laboratory of the famous Professor Oak with a big smile on his face. He stood at the front door both excited and nervous at the same time. It was it! This was the first step to his goal of remaking the pokemon league. Opening the door he walked in and looked around searching for the professor.

"MR.OAK ITS RAKUTSU!!"

Taken aback by the sudden shout of a random child, the desk attendant sat frozen for a solid 6 seconds before taking in a breath. He pushed his glasses to his face and motioned the boy to his desk. "Rakutsu Hayasa I presume?" his voice favored that of an exhausted college student, with little energy that perfectly balanced the boy's explosion of it. He scribbled some notes on a folder and pointed Rakutsu to a door on his left.

Upon opening the door, the young boy found an older man with long hair tied back in a ponytail. A myriad of pokeballs were cradled in his arms. Although he seemed close to tripping over his own feet, which would be an awful calamity considering how many capsules he had in his possession, the man was able to make his way to the boy without creating a scene. "Rakutsu! Right?" How fortunate, he hadn't completely butchered the soon-to-be trainer's name! "I'm Quercus Oak. You can call me professor, or Prof. Quercus, or Oak, or Prof. Oak, or Quercus," He rambled on with his names and titles for a bit more, but finally caught himself and shook his head. 

"Whoops, sorry about that! Here, why don't we get right down to it!" Quercus moved the gathering to a nearby desk where he gently set the pokeballs down. He released five of them on the floor in front of Rakutsu.

"Up first we have Bellsprout," the little plant made sort of a raindrop sound with its mouth as the professor mentioned its name. "This very rooty Pokemon is great for younger trainers! Not only are they very easy to get along with, but the species also shares your tendencytowards food!" A little "Bieell?" came from the Pokemon with the word 'food', but Oak only responded with a smile and moved on.

"Slowpoke is known for its constant zoning out, a trait which I'm sure you too can bond over!" Quercus gave the pink Pokemon a little pat on the head, "And I don't think I've ever seen this one without a smile!" 

Whilst the professor was introducing the first two Pokemon, the Zigzagoon was quietly grooming itself while the Poochyena and Lillipup were butting heads and barking their cute little snouts off. The professor skipped over the racoon-like Pokemon to separate the puppies. "Ahem. These two are Poochyena and Lillipup," he gave the two a smirk which immediately made them calm down. "As you can see they both have a lot of spunk and rarely think about the consequences of their actions before jumping right in. That being said, they are both great options and are very compatible with new trainers."

"Finally, we have Zigzagoon. This one in specific is a bit shy but certainly knows its nose." Quercus didn't even attempt to stop himself from laughing at his own wordplay. He let out a bit of a chuckle as he headed over to his desk and grabbed a "Pamphlet." "If you don't like any of these you can choose one of the starters in that pamphlet."

Oak gestured to the Pokemon in front of him, "So, who will it be?"

Rakutsu looked over the pokemon thinking to himself about which one he wanted most. Slowpoke and bellsprout were out of the question right away. But he was leaning more to the normal types. But in the eat he didn't go with any of the five.

"I want a Charamander."

[Olive]

Oak nodded as the boy made his choice. He recalled all the Pokemon and went for another ball on his desk. This one must have belonged to a Charmander. Then, the professor made his way to a shelf full of items. Once again, the man carried quite a sum of luggage in his arms and placed it all on the desk. He handed Rakutsu the Charmander's pokeball, an X-Gear with an installed Holo-Chip, 3 empty pokeballs, and a Tool Bag. 

"The X-Gear already has my name registered. If you need me, all you need to do is call!" Quercus then gestured to the items on the desk. "You may now choose any combination of these 7 Survival Items or Tools." The items all seemed to be under 35₪.

Happy with his choice, he took the fire lizard's pokeball before taking the X gear with the Professor's number in it. With the gear on his wrist he took the survival supples and looked over them. He got pokemon food, fishing pole, pocket knife, compass, waterskin, bedroll, and flint and steel. At least he can fish and have a good night's sleep without sleeping on the ground. "Thanks Professor anything else I should know before I go?"

[Olive]

Index finger and thumb met chin as the professor thought of any other important things the young trainer might need to know. <Well, it's very dangerous out there and of course there's a high risk of death in the wilderness...> An audible "Hmm..." slipped out as the man thought. He decided it would be best not to send the boy on any missions into the wilderness. After all, if he died, who would be blamed? On the other hand, Rakutsu went out by himself... Well then that's on the boy.

"No I don't believe so! Maybe do a little training before heading out into the wild though? I'll let you find your own path for now, but if you decide you'd like some sort of special mission, you can call me from anywhere! Maybe check the city's Post Office if you'd like some extra coin and experience, but again, that's all on you kid!" Quercus gave the boy a toothy grin, "Good luck out there Rabbit!" There it was, the name butcher everyone had been waiting for.

"Whoops! Almost forgot! You can also choose one melee weapon, but you can leave after that!"

When the professor mentioned the Post office Raku stopped to think about going there. He would be needing money so e should go do a job and his mission can wait so ya. "Now that you mentioned it I will be stopping by the post office after this and I'll take a short sword then I'll be out." After taking the short sword Rakutsu would make his way out of the lab and to the post office.
