The ripping of Velcro straps filled the humble bedroom as a purple-haired, Mohawk sporting boy in his mid-teens completed his post-apocalyptic bad ass outfit with a pair of knee pads situated outside of the black jeans he was wearing. When he stood up, the boy finally secured his belt and picked up the black, leather jacket so he could pull it over his white t-shirt. The zip was connected at the bottom then tugged up halfway. On the front, left breast of the jacket was a designation: "034".
Without much more than the soft padding of his socked feet, the boy left his room and took the stairs in the narrow hallway down to the main area of the housing unit. It was clear on the teen's face that he was not happy, even as he approached the phone he had heard ringing earlier yet he was unable to pick it up. Oh, he knew who the caller was, he had heard their voice as he was dressing. Now that he was here, however, he hit the play button to listen to the message from the voice mail.
"Daryl, it's mom. You said you'd be here at the Lab an hour ago! You're late, mister. Get down here on the double or I can't guarantee any of the good starters will be available!" She said, nagging, but lovingly so. "I love you, baby. See you soon, I hope."
With a scoff, Daryl went to the front door after deleting the message. Beside the door was a satchel containing all the necessary items for travel that his mother provided for him. Also there, were his boots. Easily pulling them on, he tied them quickly and tucked the legs of his jeans into the high cuffs of the boot then stepped out of the door, locking it behind him with the key.
When he turned around, Daryl squinted at the bright, late-morning sun. "Note to self: buy sunglasses..."

As you exited your house hold into the bright late morning sun filled town known as Popilu, you saw that the town was as peaceful as ever. The monkey Pokemon were up and about as they usually were and the few people of the town were up and about. Some walking around, others in the park with their young children while others were on their own verandah watching as other people passed.
After taking in the sites a bit you began walking on your way to the Lab where your mother worked. You soon saw a monkey pokemon, aipom, walking besides. The monkey Pokemon then jumped on your head as if it wanted to play with you. It then jumped off and began running towards the lab. It looked like it wanted you to chase it what would you do?

As Daryl stepped down from his porch, moving onto the neatly bricked pathway, he turned left down the road, heading to the park. He followed the same path he always took to get to the Lab--the long way. However, from the park, he noticed the purple-furred Pokemon Aipom jumped down from the nearby hedge that acted as the border of the park to join him.
"Hi there, buddy," Daryl greeted.
As Daryl kept walking, he reached out to try and touch the wild Pokemon. Without so much as a warning, the smiling critter used Daryl's entire arm to climb up along it to reach the top of his head. Daryl stopped dead in his tracks, startled by the sudden movement of the creature.
"You could give a warning, perhaps?" Daryl scolded under his breath, but then his eyes caught sight of the fleshy, hand-shaped appendage of the prehensile tail, belonging to the Aipom. The teenager reached to try and touch the tail when he was suddenly startled again by the Aipom's sudden movements when it jumped down and began leisurely running down the brick path. He saw it look back at him, but kept running.
"Is it inviting me?" He wondered for a moment then shouted. "Hey, wait!" He chased the monkey creature, jogging after it.

As you chased the friendly Pokemon you soon saw that you were approaching the lab, the aipom was near your reach when it jumped up on to a person's shoulder which caused you to stop running and almost fall. When you looked up you saw that your mother was there smiling at you. "Hurry hurry!" She said as she pulled you inside the lab while the aipom waved goodbye to you using its tail before scurrying away. You had seen the lab many times since you were in dregga and were familiar with most of the people in here. Professor Juniper soon arrived outside with three pokeballs. "We have already placed you in the trainer database so there is nothing to worry about right now however now you will get to see which Pokemon you will receive" She said as she opened the 3 pokeballs and before you stood lv5 Gender:Female Ability:Run away Nature:Lonely lv5 Gender:Female Ability:Regenerator Nature:Quiet lv5 Gender:Male Ability:Sand Veil Nature:Quiet Which of these three pokemon would you begin your journey with?

The ground crunched noisily beneath Daryl's boots as he came to a dead stop in front of his mother. The raven haired lady in her mid-thirties smiled coyly to her son. She had tricked him and he knew it. "Hurry! Hurry!" She ushered him, taking a hold of Daryl's shoulder and guiding him towards the front door where Professor Juniper was waiting.
A blush started to redden lightly in Daryl's cheeks. With little more than a muttering of words, he greeted the professor shyly.
"We have already placed you in the trainer database so there is nothing to worry about right now however now you will get to see which Pokemon you will receive." Juniper said, jumping right into the explanation.
It felt fairly surreal, like she just wanted to get this over and done with. Juniper revealed three pokeballs to Daryl and gestured for him to step back as she unleashed all three of them.
From the balls came a Weedle, a Tangela, and a Sandshrew!
"These are the Pokemon she's offering me?" Daryl thought, expecting something totally different. Maybe he really had been too late to get one of the original starter types.
"Go on, honey, choose which one will be your first Pokemon!" Dianne, his mother, squealed in excitement. "I'm so glad I get to be here to see this." She squeezed Daryl's shoulders happily urging him forward.
Daryl looked back at his mom, annoyed at the situation being so... forced. However, he was here for a reason. Daryl stepped forward and kneeled down before them all. He inspected each one, noticed that the Weedle seemed to be the most affectionate, or pleasing. He seemed to want Daryl's attention, hugging his leg. However, the Tangela and Sandshrew felt distant, shut down. Neither vocalized very much, which made Daryl wonder if they had been mistreated.
The sandshrew seemed to be the one catching Daryl's eye, however. He felt bad doing this in front of the other Pokemon, but he stood up and looked Juniper in the eye. "I'd like to start with the Sandshrew, but I have a question first."
"I remember the other kids getting different types of pokemon than this, however they all seemed to be the same types: Fire, Water, and Plant types. Is there a reason I was given these choices?" Daryl asked, unsure as to why Professor Juniper chose to present these to him.

Professor juniper couldn't help but laugh as she heard your question. "Sorry, but the trainers in dregga are given their pokemon determined to my judging of character. We have many pokemon in storage and we choose 3 of them mainly by random that are in the way of a triangle such as water, grass and fire or psychic, fighting and dark. when we did the calculations for you we got poison, ground and grass and we randomly selected these 3 pokeballs." She said before stopping to take a deep breath. The sandshrew looked happy that you chose it but still kept to itself. The professor then looked at you happily "You shouldn't really worry about it really." the professor said. However the next thing you knew was that your mother was now standing in front of you. "You see, I've been keeping a present for you just in case professor juniper's random system didn't please you." She then put her hand into her coat pocket and pulled out a pokeball. She then opened it to reveal a ( (promo) Gonna act as if you have your egg from the breeding centre so you don't get a lv5 pokemon while others are getting lv3 and lv2 etc) l 3 Gender: male Ability: Blaze Nature: relaxed Your mother smiled as the pig pokemon ran over to you and stood next to sandshrew. "You see, I'm not supposed to give you this until you pass by the breeding centre however I didn't want to miss this chance so here you go. Its not to be used in battle until your out of the town since no one is supposed to know you have it all right?" She said as she gave you a wink. What would you do now? Nature:Relaxed

Daryl's eyes lit up with happiness at the present Dianne gave him. He hugged his mother tightly, thanking her. He then let go to kneel beside the two Pokemon. He reached to gently pet each one. He looked at the Sandshrew, noticing how he seemed to keep to himself. “You're quite an interesting Pokemon, you know? You're quiet and gentle... but I know you can be powerful. I think I'll name you Dune. To have the same softness and mystery like a desert, but keeping the same deceitful strength should they fall into your trap.”
Daryl gently rubbed Dune's belly then turned to his Tepig. “You, mister. I am just as happy to see.” He reached to the Tepig's ears and carefully scratched behind them fondly. “Despite your cuteness, I can sense that you will be strong, too. I think a proper name for you will be... Cinder.” Daryl smiled and stood up.
“Are you two ready to become part of a family? I will need your support and strength if we're going to be the best!” Daryl tried to cheer them up, getting them ready for a journey. “As soon as possible, we're going to start our journey together!”

However not too long after you said that the door to the lab opened. Instinctively Cinder, hid himself so that he couldn't be seen as no one was supposed to receive two pokemon at the lab no matter the situation that be. A girl and a boy walked through the door. The boy ran up and chose the weedle while the girl took her time and before taking the tangela.
After professor Juniper had finished with all the items and such she handed the pokedex to you and smiled. "Just head to the breeding centre for your free egg and once you have it you can leave popilu town and you'll be free to use that tepig whenever you want without the lab getting in trouble." She said before she and your mother returned to their work.
What would you do now?

Following Professor Juniper's advice, Daryl recalled the two Pokemon into their respective pokeballs. With the pokeball's retracted form Daryl felt that he was holding their precious existence in his hands. “I'll make you guys strong. Other Pokemon will look up to you in awe. That is my promise.” He promised them. Daryl tucked the pokeball with Cinder into his jacket pocket and set Dune on a thigh-holster.
From there, the purple Mohawked teenager ran home to get his satchel. It had food, a couple changes of clothes, and a map of the known Dregga region. The satchel tied onto his back like a messenger bag. The weight was set on one shoulder, but the strap was soft enough that it didn't bother him. “I hope this doesn't become bothersome after a while,” Daryl thought to himself. After that, Daryl started on his way to the Breeding Center.
Daryl could only remember one particular instance he'd been to the Breeding Center, and that was with his mother. As the teen was moving onto the path following the outer edges of the park, he stopped and grabbed Dune's pokeball so he could summon him. “Hi there, Dune. I thought you would like to stretch your legs for a while. Would you like to walk with me?” Daryl asked, looking down with a smile at his new friend. He felt he had already purchased a connection with the Sandshrew. He already wanted to just relax and play with him, but he knew the three of them had a journey to make. It would be a journey that would shape their friendship.

On you way to your home you once again saw the aipom that had you chase it all the way to the lab, this time however, it was busy chasing a pansage who had a banana in its hand and was using it to taunt the poor aipom. It looked like a funny sight as the monkey pokemon chased the other for the banana it had.
After you had retrieved your satchel you began heading to the breeding centre where you once again saw the same aipom and the pansage sharing half of the banana each. Both pokemon looked extremely happy. You also began walking with your sandshrew, Dune who couldn't keep up to well with you due to his short legs but he tried anyway.
After a short while of walking you soon arrived at the door to the breeding centre, which was conveniently next to the exit of the town which lead into the much larger city which had the exact same name as the town. You noticed that the boy who had taken the weedle had an egg in his hand as had began going through the city.
Now that you were by the door of the breeding centre what would you do?

Daryl smirked, amused at the exchange between the Pansage and the Aipom. He felt that the Aipom should be careful of the Pansage's abilities, but then didn't want to underestimate the Aipom's own snide abilities. By then, he had reached home to grab his effects. He pulled on the satchel and left, locking the door behind him. On the way, he invited Dune to walk with him, only to find that the Sandshrew could not move very quickly like Daryl could. Daryl adjusted his pace to leisurely stroll with the creature as they headed through the roads to the Breeding Center.
Just as they were nearing the center Daryl glimpsed the purple fur of the Aipom and then the Pansage in the distance. Their smiling faces and split banana showed their resolution had been solved effectively. “Most efficient...” He thought. “I wish I had a Pokeball to catch either one, but if I try to take one on, the other might join in and my secret would be found out.” Daryl formulated in his mind, petting the pocket that hid Cinder.
The young man looked up at the Breeding Center, feeling slightly nervous that as soon as he left there it would mean their adventure was about to start. He looked down at Dune and reached down to pick him up. “I'll carry you for as long as I can so you don't have to strain yourself.” Daryl assured Dune. “Let's go meet our new addition.” With that, Daryl and Dune entered the facility, going right to the first adult he saw.
“Hello, my name is Daryl DeSalle. I'm here to obtain my first egg...” Daryl said politely and confidently. Daryl could feel his palms becoming a little sweaty, though. He was nervous.

The man turned to you and smiled. "Why hello there young man. we have a present to you from someone." The man said as he brought a basket filled with items and a pokemon egg.
"We don't know who sent it here for you but there is a letter inside with the name of who probably sent it to you" (You decide who sent it and what the letter says). The man then walked to the back of the room and after a few moments returned to you.
In his hand was a container which contained a pokemon egg, your second egg but still a very special gift. After you had taken your egg you happened to spot out of the corner of your eye the girl who had taken the tangela outside the breeding centre, however she already had an egg in her hand. You wondered what she was doing outside.
What would you do now?

Daryl smiled looking at the basket that was full of pokeballs, sprays, and a singular egg. He took the card and opened it quickly.
Daryl could barely tear his eyes away from the letter. Was this a trick? Was this real? Thoughts were swept around in a whirlwind, colliding into other thoughts to form newer, larger questions. “Why now?” Daryl pondered. The teen barely had time to absorb all this knowledge when the man brought Daryl another egg. Blinking, Daryl looked from the new, parceled egg, to the one in the basket. Carefully, he began to sort out room for all the new items in his satchel.
After everything was sorted, he began adjusting the strap of his bag while thinking of what to ask the man. “Could you tell me... is it strange for a trainer to get more than one egg from here?” Daryl was tentative in asking this question, he didn't want his journey impeded because he was breaking the law or something. “And, could you not tell anyone about this, please? I don't want to get into... trouble.”

The man just watched you and smiled. "You wont get into any trouble my young friend, we gave you one egg and the other came from someone who wanted to give you a present." The man said in a fair tone.
After he had finished he went back to the back of the room where the other people were waiting for you to leave. The girl was still outside the window and this time you could see she was becoming impatient. It almost looked as if she was waiting for you to come outside.
"Hey! hurry up already!" She cried out. It was definitely you she was waiting on. You had no idea why or what she wanted but once you left the breeding centre all the answers would become clear.
What would you do now?
(Egg count 1)

From the corner of his eyes, Daryl glanced around nervously. He knew he was holding people up from getting their own Pokemon, but it was the impatient stare of the girl that caught Daryl's eyes. Was she staring at him? Daryl didn't get much time to assess this when the man spoke up. “You won't get into trouble my young friend,” He said, smiling knowingly. “We gave you one egg and the other came from someone who wanted to give you a present.” His voice was soothing and put ease to Daryl's mind.
When he left, going into the back room, Daryl slowly turned around and walked, passing by the line. However, he stopped when he saw the girl still there, intently looking at him. There was no mistaking it, their eyes were locked and a tingling spread down Daryl's spine. He even jumped a little when she shouted at him, “Hey! Hurry up already!”
Daryl quickly exited and he stepped outside to approach the girl that he knew had the Tangela pokemon. “Hello, are you talking to me?” Daryl's tone was defensive, wondering what exactly this person could want to do with him. Yet, something in the back of Daryl's mind knew exactly what was coming...
A battle was coming.
