The footsteps made by a simple pair of blue and white sneakers were unheard against the soft earth. Purple eyes were transfixed upon the building that lay infront of him. But what was this building? A mere labratory but what it held was the real thing he was after. His future. His first Pokemon. Now he had heard of a few new pokemon getting discovered in this region so he wanted to come here. He stopped at the door as a conflict soon began to arise within him. What Pokemon to get?
He sighed and looked down, his hand in mid-air ready to knock. But he held it in mid-air as he thought. What pokemon should he get? That was if he had a choice. But it only took him a moment to think of two good choices. But which of the two? Well he was hoping that perhaps the professor could answer this. Not by picking at random, no. He had a bit of a strategy. And it was very simple too.

Professor Pine pulled open the large wooden door, suprised to see another trainer so late to starte their journey. "Oh, my. Oh, my my my." He smiled as he walked into a large open area. Machines and beakers were on shelves and tables lining the walls, and his desk was sitting in the corner with mounds of paperwork. He pulled out a stool for the boy to sit just before he walked to the other side of the counter and sat on his swivel chair. He pulled out a sheet of paper and began jotting words down, filling in bubbles, and crossing off certain sentences. "Now..." He began as he sat down his pen, "you're obviously here for your first Pokémon, like every other trainer before you. I warn you, though, you must hurry. You seem a bit farther back than the rest of them. It doesn't matter though, you may do whatever you like. But, which starter Pokémon would you like? Here in the Nahra Region, we offer many types and species. (If you want to see some 'Nahra originals', go check out the Nahra Pokémon Art board here: nahra.proboards52.com/index.cgi?board=g&action=display&thread=1178757799 . You may also choose almost any basic Pokémon with two-three evolutions.) Professor Pine leaned his head on his right arm, waiting for a decision from the boy.

Demitri gave a little shock as the door opened. That was fast. He watched the professor make his way around. This professor was a bit...odd in Demmi's mind. He slowly made his way over and sat down. Just why he sat down? He didn't really know. This would be a quick visit so why bother sitting? Well he was sitting down now so why bother getting back up. He's just seem like an idiot if he did that. "Hm...first pokemon?" He gave a little shock in his face as if he hadn't even thought about it quite yet. "Well prof, I'm deciding between two. A Growlithe or an Eevee. So which one is harder to find in this region?" He tried to keep the sentences short, not being one to talk much. But they had to be long enought to get the point across.
A growlithe and an Eevee. Obviously he liked dogs/foxes or whatever you wished to call them. And by figuring out which one is harder to find in the Nahra region, he'd pick that one. So that along his journey, he'd have a better chance of catching the other one. "I'd prefer male also," he added. Now he knew that if the prof had only females, then he'd take it. It wasn't that he didn't like female pokemon, it was just that for these perticular two pokemon, he had always imagined a male. But something kept telling him to get a growlithe. Perhaps then on his journey, it could use it's flames to start a fire or something. But what about that eevee. It was just too hard to refuse. So yes, he was in a conflict.

The Professor nodded and placed his fist on his chin, obviously caught in deep though. "Well, Eevee are simply more rare than Growlithe, but in the Nahra Region? Hmm...I believe that Eevee are still very scare out there. You'd have better luck sticking with an Eevee as a starter and catching a Growlithe later, but I am not sure. It's your choice." He smiled respectfully and patiently, awaiting which one he'd choose.
After hearing Demitri's next question, he nodded again. "I can understand if one prefers a certain gender. Usually trainers cooperate better when their starter is their same gender. And yes, I believe we have one male Eevee and, if I am not mistaking, one male Growlithe." Breathing deeply, he stood up from his black swivel chair and turned around. After taking only a few steps, he pulled a ring of keys off of the wall and turned back towards the boy. "So, what'll it be?"

"I guess..." Oh great that conflict was arising again. 'Dang it,' he thought narrowing his eyes at the floor. Well there was only one way to handle this. Afterall, he had promised himself that he would use the system. So that meant Eevee was his choice. He looked back up to the professor and ran a hand through his hair. "Eevee please..." He tried to make his voice sound cheerful. Afterall, it was his first pokemon. It was just that the whole not being able to choose thing left him a bit uneasy. But he knew that as soon as he held the pokeball, that he'd fall inlove.

The Professor silently nodded as he turned around. He inserted one of the many different keys into the backroom's lock and quickly pulled open the door. Flipping on a light switch, he walked way into the back. That's where the new 'shipments' of Pokémon are stored. Anywho, after rummaging through the box labeled 'Normal,' he pulled out a standard Pokéball. After looking at it for a moment, he hurried back out to Demitri. "Okay, here we are." He tossed the Ball up, and, in a flash of scarlet light, a small Eevee appeared. "Eev?" It took a few steps towards Demitri before rubbing up against his leg playfully. "Eevee!" It jumped up at him with a gleeful smile. -----Congratulations, Demitri has obtained an Eevee!----- Name: ? ? ? Gender: Male Species: Eevee Level: 8 Attacks: -Tackle -Tail Whip -Helping Hand -Sand Attack -----Congratulations, Demitri has obtained a Starter Pack!----- 5000 ND 1 Pokéball 1 Potion 3 Berries

Demitri watched curiously as the old man fumbled around. But when he returned, even someone as confusing as Demitri couldn't help but smile. So as that grin appeared, Demitri bent down to the eevee as it brushed up against his leg. Well he liked this thing already. It had walked right up to him. He liked that in a pokemon. "Now let's see..." Demitri said as he looked at the Eevee. What to name it. He didn't really like the names like 'Fluffy', 'Sugar', or 'Flower'. Those were just annoying to him. Now what to pick for this one? "Do you have any suggestions?" Demitri asked ruffling up the top of the Eevee's head. "How 'bout I think about it for a little bit, 'kay?" He said to the pokemon. He wanted the name to be perfect so he better think of it for awhile. "So thanks Prof, can I go now?" Demitri was planning on thinking over the names as he got onto the route.

The Prof clasped his hands behind his back and smiled wide, looking at the Eevee, then as the boy spoke he looked startled for a moment as if collecting his thoughts, glancing up and around. "Yes, yes of course. And good luck getting to where ever you're going! The paths of life and all that. Take good care of 'im too." He pointed at Eevee, smiled, and sat again behind his desk.
Ooc:; Go ahead and post in the Aura Town forums. You will not be at Aura Town immediately but on your way there. ^^ Have fun.
