"I think I'll choose Charmander." Leaf announced, picking up the small red and white orb containing the Fire-type. The pudgy brunette had always thought a Charmander would make a lovable travelling companion.
"I'm glad you've made your decision. Are you going to give your Charmander a nickname?" the elderly Professor asked. "Normally most trainers do it to to form a closer bond between themselves and their Pokemon."
"I think I will, but a little later after I get to know my Charmander a bit better," the plump young trainer said, "I'd hate to give it a silly name now that doesn't suit it."
"That sounds good. So Blue, which Pokemon will you choose?"
The brown haired young man smiled smugly for a moment before walking over and snatching Squirtle's Pokéball. He spun the ball expertly on the tip of his finger before tossing it in the air and catching it in a showy manner. "I think this one is pretty good. Probably better than little miss Munchlax's starter."
"Will you quit trying to make everything into a contest? I swear you never have a nice thing to say." Leaf shouted. Despite her irritation she felt herself suck in her gut a bit at his comment. She would've retaliated by stating he had started to gain a bit of weight himself recently, but Blue was still within the normal weight range for a boy his age.
Blue sighed at her indignantly and held his pokéball out. "If it involves you it's hardly a contest. Still I think Squirtle and I can bond over a battle, what do you say Gramps?"
The Professor felt a bit embarrassed because of his grandson's lack of manners, but he knew that Leaf preferred to fight her own battles. Since an opportunity had risen he decided to oblige, beside he wanted to see how these new trainers and their Pokémon interacted. "You two can battle here as long as you avoid hurting the machines and books, and each other of course."
"Alright then!" Leaf said, also getting out her Pokéball. She knew Blue has the type advantage, however she wasn't willing to lose. The hefty lass had read that low level Pokemon were often evenly matched despite type due to lack of move variety so all she had to do was be a better tactician than Blue and hope Charmander would listen. Cocking back her arm "Charmander, let's show him what we've got!"
As the ball flew from her palm a flash of crimson light emitted from it and lander on the ground and became Charmander. The ball bounced back to Leaf in midair and she caught it before observing her first Pokemon.
The Charmander there was looking curiously at everyone and Leaf couldn't help but notice it was small, even for a young Charmander. She almost gushed instantly at it's cuteness, Blue however seemed less than impressed.
"Wow Leaf, you sure picked a runt. If it eats like you though I think that won't last long."
The Charmander glared at Blue and stomped angrily,the tail flame it had grew large. The Charmander was quick to anger it seemed, which worried the hatted girl. Before she could even speak to her Pokémon Blue called out his starter.
"Squirtle, let's go!"
After another red light a Squirtle came out, it's expression friendly and nice. Even though Leaf liked Blue's Pokémon she knew it's trainer would have it battle hard. When both Pokemon were ready Professor Oak decided to referee.
