Noire's First Friend [Starter]

[Noire]

A lone young man stood in front of the research lab. The man didn't look that much out of place. Normally dressed, holding his trusty sword next to him like a walking stick. The man stood in front of the research lab. A well known lab that had begun to gain a famed reputation. Apparently, this is where every Pokemon trainer was to go when starting their journeys.

Noire sighed. With a slightly excited look on his face, he grinned as he opened the door. He entered the lab wondering what the heck he might be in for.

Noire had walked into the lab. His pace was slow and cautious as if the vertigo feeling rose through his body. Despite knowing that he was only in a simple lab, Noire wouldn't make the mistake of being too comfortable. He knew anything he might do here could affect his future, and the outlook Professor Oak might have on him.

He sheathed the sword on his belt gripping the hilt firmly . He scanned the store quickly, searching for any sign of where new trainers were supposed to go. The room was large and practically empty. He didn't want to create large surprises so Noire walked over to a stool nearby, and slid it under him. Shortly though Noire got curious, and he got up looking for the good Professor. He walked up to a room that said "Restricted" Noire thought it best not to check this room out since he didn't want to get in trouble, but he was real curious. With an extension of his arm, he turned the knob of the door, and pushed gently. He had no clue on what he may find, but he just had to know what was going on. His eagerness and inquisitive mind just enjoyed the thrill too much. As he turned the knob more the vertigo feeling surged through his head like a mild high.

“Stop that pokemon!”


As Noire opened the door a dash of black ran past his feet. A man with long black hair in a dishevelled ponytail was panting as he held a bright pink pokemon in his arms along with several pokeballs. He looked as if his body was a little ahead of his feet and he came crashing down, releasing all the pokemon in a flash of light.

“Whoops. What a disaster! And on the first day too,” the man quickly righted himself as if this type of thing happened often, “Hello you must be Noire. I’m sorry to have to ask this of you, but could you help me catch your starter choices?”


The professor handed the young man two pokeballs. “Those are for the Spritzy, the pink pokemon over there in the tree by the entrance, and the Trapinch which is over there taking a bite of the office desk. Oh dear.” He quickly took off in after the other three pokemon.

Once all the pokemon were safely in their pokeballs the professor led Noire into his office, which was the other door. He sat down in his chair with a heavy sigh, wiping sweat from his brow with a handkerchief. “Sorry about that. Please have a seat.”


“Well now that everyone is contained, let’s try those introductions again.” Another bright flash of white light brightened the room as the five pokemon revealed themselves.

“You are already acquainted with Spritzy. This one has a fondness for healing others.” The pink pokemon fluffed itself up as it sat on Oak’s desk, “And that is Trapinch. You were just given a great example of how strong their jaw is. I’ll have to get a new desk for my attendant. He wil not be happy about this.”


A metallic sword with a blue gem came floating by Noire’s head. It seemed to inspect the sword in the sheath that Noire had. “That would be Honedge. They are very noble pokemon and very protective of the weaker pokemon I have in my lab. I feel that they would be a great starter for you.”


“Finally we have Zorua and Zigzagoon. These two can be quite curious and have a knack for getting into things they shouldn’t.” The two pokemon gave an innocent look that couldn’t fool a baby. “Something I feel you all have in common.” Oak joked.

The professor also slipped a crumpled pamphlet from his pocket and handed it to the trainer. “You may also pick from the pokemon in that brochure. Please take your time, this is an important decision.”

Noire looked at the Pokemon thinking to himself about which one he wanted most. He sat back, stretched his legs and lazily relaxed aloof. With a big grin he looked at the professor and said "Tough choice!" He opened the pamphlet and took a look at the other options. All of them seemed so cool, some he had seen or heard of before, except the bottom of the pamphlet those looked new. He scratched his head, and then brushed back his hair. "I'm not even sure anymore, they're all so cool and strong, cute and useful, I just don't know." The Trapinch caught his eye while creating mischief. He quickly stood up, and lifted the Trapinch in the air, stopping it from gnawing on everything in sight. The Trapinch and Noire locked eyes and both had a ecstatic feeling. "You're not bad, you're just bored, that's a lot like me. Come with me, and I'll take you along on a grand adventure, whatcha say Trapinch?" The Trapinch nuzzled up to Noire before opening his large jaw.

"I'll take Trapinch." He nodded as Noire and Trapinch shared their bond.
