Begin the Hunt [Starter]

[Tyson Halloway]

Tyson was in his little home that he had in Port City and he was packing a bag. Today was the day he was going to go to The Ambassador and get a full time job and make a real living by doing something he absolutely loved to do. Tyson put on a fresh shirt and a fresh pair of jeans, and then slipped his sneakers on as he walked out of his bedroom. Tyson walked into the bathroom and grabbed his two necklaces and put them on and checked his hair in the mirror and then nodded and looked himself over and left the bathroom. Tyson didn't really have to worry about his rent and his place because he had built his home himself in the woods, just on the outskirts of Port City, just so he wouldn't have to deal with people coming to him asking for rent or anything. It was a bit harder to live, because more Feral Pokemon were there, but he learned from his dad on how to scare them off or even how to defend himself when he needed to against them. Tyson grabbed his bag and left his little house and locked the door and headed to Port City. After about a 10 to 15 minute walk he got to Port City and started to head to The Emissary so he could talk to The Ambassador for the appointment they had made for Tyson to become a full fledged Mercenary and to get his Pokemon. Tyson walked through Port City and got to the Emissary where he walked up the stairs and walked through the public door. He looked around and went to the desk and said "I'm Tyson Halloway and i have a appointment to see The Ambassador." Tyson then went and sat down in a chair as he waited for someone to come and get him for his appointment today.

After a few minutes of letting Tyson wait, the woman at the front desk would motion him over. "Anita Nguyen is expecting you, now." She spoke, scribbling a time on her clipboard before gesturing the path the trainer needed to take.

Upon reaching the office, Tyson would be greeted by a rather tall woman in a sharp suit. "Good morning. Tyson, I presume. I am Anita Nguyen, ambassador of the colonies." She spoke in introduction, gesturing for the trainer to sit across from her and retrieving five Pokeballs from the desk drawer. Barely sparing a moment, the room was bathed in a white light as each Pokemon was released.

"These Pokemon have been chosen carefully to aid you in your hunts, as well as well as the taming process. You will find that each one has a certain authority to them. Well... Some of them are still too young to fully tap into that prowess, but given time, they can be true alphas alongside you. As a mercenary, you can choose two of these..." Anita spoke, then pausing to slide a pamphlet across her desk towards Tyson. "If none of them, you can also choose one or two of the original starter Pokemon from this list." She added. Not giving the young Merc much time to reply, she stood from her desk, approaching the Pokemon to begin her explanation of each one. The Ambassador paused near one of the more intimidating choices. The Pinsir almost seemed to be grumbling as it shuffled in place, batting away at the Taillow that seemed intent on pecking at its feet.

"First we have Pinsir, a Pokemon with powerful, well, pincers, capable of easily clearing a path or protecting you from sudden attacks. Just watch that you keep your hands from its jaws..." Pausing once more, Anita nudged the Taillow away from the horned bug. "Pinsir is capable of digging sturdy shelters in the ground that could be quite useful if you were to get stuck without proper supplies." She finished, then moving on down the line.

"This little one is a Taillow. They are very determined Pokemon with bravery that reaches far beyond their size. With sharp eyes and almost endless stamina, this one would make a great hunting companion. Over time, this one will evolve into a Swellow... Not quite big enough for you to ride, but perhaps in the future you can train a smaller Pokemon to climb aboard..." She remarked, the Taillow giving her a look. It couldn't be known whether or not the comment had been a joke. "Swellow are very swift flyers with great control. This could only improve your hunting." Nodding, she moved on. Nearby, there was the Nincada, off exploring the room.

"This is a Nincada. It may not look like much, now, but it evolves into one of the fastest Pokemon you can find, with a vicious swipe. I must forewarn you, This can be a very challenging Pokemon, as if a Ninjask is not properly trained, it can cause quite the migraine. You could consider this a test to your taming abilities." She suggested. The Nincada paused, turning its head so that its antennae twitched in Anita's direction. "I should also mention that they are almost entirely blind and use their antennae to sense their surroundings. They are very in-tuned to the earth. That said... Moving on."

At this point, the last two Pokemon seemed distracted, playing with each other. Leaning down, the Ambassador lifted the Sandile from the bottom of a wrestling match. "This is a Sandile. Normally a very mischievous Pokemon, you'll have to be careful... They can grow to be very powerful but troublesome companions as they evolve. While they're always getting into things, they can also be rather sweet. At this point in their life, at least... I'm not sure I can say the same for its evolutions.." While it had formerly been hanging limp in Anita's grip, the Sandile began trying to wiggle free. Sighing softly, she set it back down.

"This last one, here is Litleo. While it's mostly a playful cub at this point, it will evolve into a gorgeous beast. Litleo are, of course, hunters by heart, and one day it will evolve into a lord of beasts. Such a Pokemon will surely be able to help you improve yourself as a hunter and a person."

"So, there are your choices."

Tyson stood up when the lady at the desk had told him that it was time for the Ambassador to see him now. Tyson walked over past the desk and through a set of doors into a office where a tall woan in a suit was standing and waiting for him. Tyson assumed it was non other then the Ambassador herself. Tyson had never really met the woman, but heard stories about her, both good and bad. Tyson watched her and listened to her closely as she revealed five pokemon befoire him, and went over ach one and the traits they had and what not. Tyson thought he was only going to be recieving one Pokemon today, but it turned out that he was going to be recieving two Pokemon to his delight. Tyson went over the five Pokemon that were crawling around the room. He then looked over the panphlet of starter Pokemon he could choose as well. Tyson had so many choices he could choose right now, and so many combinations, he just didn't know what to pick. Tyson thought it over in his head for a while and then looked at all the Pokemon in the room and then back in the panphlet. Tyson then walked over to the Pinsir and looked down at it. Tyson nodded yes at it."My first Pokemon will be Pinsir." Tyson said with a smile and then walked over to the Litleo and the Sandile. Tyson wanted both but knew he could only take one with hi. Tyson turned his head towards the Litleo and nodded. "I'll pick this little guy for my other Pokemon" Tyson said as he smiled down at the Litleo. He looked at the other three Pokemon in the room and said "I wish i could take you all, but sadly i can't. I know you guys will find good trainers to be with in the end." Tyson then looked to the Ambassador and said "Anything else ma'am?" He looked at her as he waited for a response.

The Ambassador nodded at Tyson, almost impressed at how quickly he was able to choose. Most new trainers about drove themselves crazy thinking it over. "An excellent choice." She spoke, and as he finished speaking to the non-chosen Pokemon, a flash of white light would engulf them as they were returned to their Pokeballs. The last two Pokeballs would be handed to Tyson for his Pinsir and Litleo. "Well, not unless you want to head out into the world without any supplies..." Nguyen spoke, shaking her head at the boy's hurried behavior. Moving to sit back down at her desk, she opened her large dark case to begin explaining the supply options for a Mercenary.

"This is your X-Gear. It has my number pre-programmed and comes with a Holo Chip, but you also have a choice between a Dex Chip and an Ability Chip. You can always buy others, later, but for now.. Choose wisely." She started, setting the X-gear and the two chips on the desk. "Along with that, you also have the choice of three of these. They are all trainer items that you can find at the Global Market for under 35₪. You will also receive five Pokeballs." She explained, organizing the options on her desk for Tyson to make his choice.

You many choose Pinsir and Litleo's gender, nature and ability.

Tyson watched on as the three other Pokemon were returned back to their PokeBalls. Tyson took the two PokeBalls he was handed from The Ambassador and returned his Pinsir and Litleo to their Balls and put them in his pocket. Tyson then gave a nervous kinda look as he almost left without getting the rest of his supplies. He walked over to her desk. Tyson then took the X-Gear from The Ambassador and looked at the two chip options he would be able to get. He thought about them he then picked up the Holo Chip and then picked up the Ability Chip. "I'll take this Ability Chip." He said as he then started to look over the Trainer Items he could acquire as well. He could only pick 3 and they had to be under 35, so he had to pick wisely and carefully. "I'm going to grab two Potions and a Giant Raw Corka as my items." He said after looking over each Item he could get and reading up on what each one of them did. "Alright, is there anything else you need to give me ma'am? Or am i all good to head on out?" He said as he looked at the woman sitting behind her desk.

"Child, it's not as simple as 'you're a Mercenary now, go have fun.' My job as your mentor is to get you started in every aspect. Pokemon, Supplies, and a mission." Nguyen started, shaking her head some. "Moving on to that, then. Your mission is to head to New Pallet. There's been a bit of trouble brewing. Make sure you're ready before leaving, but do make haste. Though, I'm sure there won't be any problems with that..."

"That is all. Be on your way and stay safe. Remember, my number is in your X-Gear. Contact me if you need to." The Ambassador finished, nodding to signal that the Mercenary could now leave.
