@Googly; @Joltik; @Sximple Ghurl; @Destiny Queen; @DracoMan; The Start Up is here!

IC: The breeze blew through Nuvema town as Prof. Juniper and her aid Bianca were geting ready for the new trainers to come. This was probably Prof Juniper's favorite time of year because she always got to see the smile of new trainers when they were introduced to the amazing world of pokemon. It had been awhile since she had done this because Prof Juniper spent a few years overseeing the introduction of new species of Pokemon into the region so the starters she was offering this time were more broad. "Its almost time." Prof Juniper said happily.

A girl with a black parasol and a black lolita dress was walking down route 1. The Black Rose of Acumula was on her way to Nuvema town to receive a Pokemon from Prof Juniper and was rather eager to meet the cute Pokemon that would become her partner.
 
Okay, I'm in Nuvema Town now, Charles thought upon his entrance into the unassuming town. Kind of an odd place for an important research lab, but I suppose it made sense to somebody. He studied the map he'd brought with him. Now, the lab should be...this way. He went to the left, as the map indicated, when he came upon...

Nothing. No lab. For a moment, Charles was confused. Am I reading this upside-down? he wondered as he wandered back to where he'd started, studying the landmarks and comparing them to the map. But that's where it should be, and so is that...but that isn't... He came to a stop, realizing that the map was only half-right. Charles, looks like you've been snookered, he thought ruefully.
 
Sammy looked around the small town, she guessed that the lab was the largest building in the town. "Well let's do this." she said to her self as she approached the large building.
 
Charles was thoroughly lost until he saw a few people about his age all headed in roughly the same direction. Maybe I should follow them, he thought. It was currently the best lead he had, as the map was a total dud. It wasn't long before he realized that they were all headed towards a building that was larger than the others. That's it!

Charles' martial-arts master had taught him to trust his hunches, and in this case it payed off: he soon found himself in front of Professor Juniper's lab. Okay, let's do this, he thought as he walked in. So...what do I do now?
 
Just outside Nuvema Town, a slight rustling could be heard in the trees. A boy suddenly poked his head out, looking around nervously for anyone from the circus who may have followed him here. After making sure there was no one around, Dominic crept out from his hiding place in the trees. The bells on his boots and hat jingled slightly as he snuck around the town like a shadow. He made sure to stay out of sight as he searched for this Pokemon Lab. Unfortunately he had absolutely no idea where to find it and was too afraid to ask anyone, one because he was shy and two because there was a chance he might be recognised and taken back to the circus. Hiding behind a bush, Dominic spotted a girl heading into town holding a black parasol. If he wanted to become a Pokemon Trainer then he'd have to take a chance and ask for directions.

"Excuse me" he whispered to the girl as she walked past his hiding spot "do you know where I could find Professor Juniper's Lab?"
 
Sammy walked into the lab "Are you the professor?" she said to a women in a lab coat.
 
Nuvema Town was a small village with only a couple of houses and more grassy areas. Miles Sinclair fingered the bronze Knowledge Symbol inside his pocket as he strolled along the route.

"Looks like I finally get to learn from experience, Noland." He said to himself. He found a few puppy-like pokemons on the way, and tried to pet them, but instead they bit him and ran away. Miles sighed as he looked at his bandaged fingers.

"I do hope my new partner doesn't have much teeth."

He approached the largest building in town -the lab. A few people who looked younger than him were gathering inside, so he followed. A woman in a lab coat was beaming, and a blonde young girl was looking all hyped up.
 
Noel finally made it to the Lab after wandering for awhile in Nuvema Town. "Hello Prof Juniper!" Noel greeted. "Why hello there, Its nice to see new trainers wanting to start a journey. May ask for your names?" Prof Juniper asked the trainers in the lab.
 
So she's the one we talk to, Charles thought. I guess I'll go first. He stepped forward. "I'm Charles. Charles Marsh, from Veilstone."
 
"I'm Sammy," Said Sammy "and I'm from Jubilife City." she turned to Charles "were both from Sinnoh!"
 
"I'm Noel" Noel greeted Prof Juniper with a kurtsy. "Its nice to meet you, Noel and Charles. Why don't you pick out a pokemon?" Prof Juniper said as she grabbed several poke'balls off of her desk. "You can pick one these pokemon but bear in mind there still baby pokemon, so they are unfamiliar with the world and people, so treat them nicely." Prof Juniper asked. Noel nodded and grabbed a Pokeball. "Grace me with your pressence." Noel called as she tossed the first poke'ball into the air. "Munna." said a small pink pokemon. "Oh, its so cute!!!" Noel cooed as she gave it a hug. "Why don't you pick out a pokemon." Prof Juniper gestured towards Charles and Sammy.
 
Sammy picked up a ball and let the Pokemon out, a Shinx. "Aren't you just adorable" She said as she petted the small loin like Pokemon.
 
As Charles approached the Poke Balls, he felt inexplicably drawn towards a certain one. [That one,[/i] he thought as he reached for the ball that had somehow grabbed his attention. As soon as he touched it--

I choose you

Charles blinked. Did it just speak to me? As he picked up the ball, it began to glow, before suddenly opening in a flash of light. When the light faded, Charles saw a Riolu standing in front of him.
 
"Here are your Pokedex's and Poke'balls." Noel said as she handed Sammy, Noel, and Charles 5 Poke'balls and a Poke'dex. "Thank you." Noel said, she turned to Sammy and Charles. "Oh hi, I'm Noel. I'm from Acumula Town. Its nice to meet you." Noel said.
 
"Hi" Sammy said as she turned to Noel "I'm Sammy" she looked at the professor "thank you!"
 
Charles accepted the Poke Balls and Pokedex. He'd heard that the 'dex was registered to be his ID, so he opened it up to see what would happen.

"Hello, Charles Marsh of Veilstone City," it said in a really bad New England accent. "My name is Dexter."

Charles frowned. "What the hell is wrong with your voice?"

"Whaddaya talkin' about? This is my normal speakin' voice."

"Has anyone ever told you you sound like an exact ripoff of a popular animated sitcom character?"

"Bite my shiny metal ass."

"It doesn't look that shiny to me."

"It's shinier than yours, Meatbag."
 
Miles looked at the pokeballs that the other people had taken.

"So... uh, Prof. Juniper, right? I just choose one?" The prof. nodded. He picked up one and pressed the button. It opened, and out came a male Ralts.

"Oh wow! Ralts are supposed to be rare!" Miles patted the green head. The red plates on Ralts head blinked before he looked curiously at Miles.

"Hi there. I'll make sure you'll have fun with battles!" He said as a greeting. But Ralts frowned and used Growl on him, making Miles cover his ears to block the wierd sounds.

"Uh... I guess you're being friendly?" Ralts snorted and didn't look at Miles when he picked him up. Miles didn't mind as he received the pokedex and pokeballs.

"Hi everyone." Miles finally introduced himself, trying to hold the Ralts squirming in his arms. "I'm Miles - kinda starting out later than you, but I hope we all get along."
 
"I'm Charles," Charles said, pocketing his unruly Pokedex as Riolu jumped onto his shoulder, noticing the way the Ralts in Miles' arms was squirming. "And I'm not so sure it likes you."
 
To Dominic's disappointment the girl with the black parasol had completely ignored him and had instead walked inside a rather large building.

"Perhaps she didn't hear me" Dominic thought to himself, "no she definitely would've heard me. Maybe she was just being rude. Well, I think I might follow her then"

He crept from out of his hiding place in the bushes and followed Noel inside the building, making sure to keep enough distance between them to avoid being seen. Upon entering he quickly realised that this was the lab and already it was bustling with new trainers who had just received their first Pokemon, one of them being the girl who he'd followed in. Dominic forgot all about her though when he spotted the woman who was handing out the Pokemon along with PokeBalls and a PokeDex.

"That must be the professor" Dominic decided and walked up quietly behind her, making sure to avoid the attention of the others.

"Excuse me miss" he said politely, "would you happen to have any more Pokemon left? I'd like to become a Pokemon Trainer"

Miles put down his bag and held Ralts firmly with his hands. Ralts was trying to get out of his grip, squirming and swaying his flexible body.

"Don't worry, I'm going to raise you to be extra powerful - more than those I met in the Factory." Miles beamed. Ralts didn't look at him.

"Oh come on - you're supposed to pick up positive feelings, and I'm being nice here." Miles said, getting impatient. "You wouldn't want me to treat you the way I trained those big bad boys, hmm?"

Ralts glanced at Miles' grin, and suddenly started bawling.

"Whaaa-" Miles yelped in panic. "Why are you crying?!"
