[Just the first step]It's a HUGE world[of life]

A cat walked over the city's boundry. Her soft velvety mint green fur was ruffled and her eyes were drooping wearily. She had come a long way. Her journey had started in Sinnoh. She had travelled by boat to a port nearby, then walked the rest of the way. Knowing she would be tired and so should get a good night's sleep before her big day tomorrow, she had chosen to walk in her Pokémon form to speed up the journey; as an Espeon, Sulteron could move faster and had more stamina. She was tired now, however, panting slightly as she daintily flowed along to the hotel which she had booked to stay in. She had stayed off the main path, but had still had a little trouble with a trainer.

"Oh, wow! Look! An Espeon! And... a shiny! Oh, wow, oh, wow, oh, wow!"

Sulteron's ears perked up at the sound as she slowly looked around, dreading what she'd see. True to her fears, a trainer fresh out the lab was pointing at her. A Squirtle sat on his shoulder. "Squirtle, she's seen us. Ssssh..." the kid said, crouching down. "Here, kitty-kitty, we aren't gonna hurt you..." the boy cooed in a soft voice. Sulteron rolled her eyes, sitting down and staring into his eyes. He krept a little closer. "Come on, now, don't be scared... now, I'm a trainer. I can take you everywhere and we'll have loads of adventures together. All you have to do is get in this Pokéball." he told her, holding out the red object. Sulteron raised an eyebrow. She couldn't understand why any Pokémon would fall for that. The Espeon Pokémorph stuck her tongue out at the boy, blew a rude raspberry and leapt over his head and ran off, leaving the surprised kid to get on with his life.

Once she had reached a narrow, dark, deserted alleyway, Sulteron switched back to her human form. She walked the rest of the way to the hotel on foot, long Espeon tail swaying lazily on the ground. She checked in and trudged up the stairs to her room. She opened the door and...

~VEE!~[/color] a fluffy brown shape leapt at her as she entered the room. It took her by surprise, and Sulteron gasped as the form leapt at her chest. She soon realized it was friendly, and held it in her arms. It seemed to be a scrawny ball of fluff, and was curled up in her arms, shivering. She stroked it and whispered soothing words to it, unsure of what it exactly was; it was curled in too tight a ball for that, and refused to open. She cuddled it when she got into bed, offering it comfort, but when she woke up it was gone. Shrugging, the Espeon 'morph ate a hurried breakfast and raced off to the lab.

After climbing the steps, Sulteron rapped on Professor Oak's door. "Professor Oak? Professor Oak! It's Sulteron, I'm here for a Charmander?" she called, hoping he was in and had the Charmander she wanted. The boy from yesterday had obviously taken a Squirtle, but hopefully Charmander hadn't been given away yet.[/size]

The door opened ajar, and then more. A worried looking lab assitant looked down at Sulteron, he was so scared, as if he was about to squeal like a little school girl. "Who is it?" An older voice chimed. Professor Oak pushed the awkward assistant out of the way and looked down at Sulteron.
"Why hello there!" Professor Oak greeted. He the knew exactly why she was there. "Here for your starter pokemon?"Professor Oak asked, his voice changing into a boring one. Today was an extraordinary morning, kids ahd been coming in and out with pokemon. They had seven Charmanders, four Bulbasaurs, and thirteen Squirtles left.
He was surprised that they hadn't already run out of Charmander considering how common it is. You hear kids talking on the street everywhere you saying they want a Charmander, but the least Squirtles are left.

Sulteron nodded. She wondered why he seemed so bored at the fact that she was here for a starter. Then again, she supposed that he had probably seen off tons of kids recently, what with it being that time again. How many of each Pokémon did he have to get rid of? Twenty? Fifteen? Either way, that was a lot of Pokémon and a lot of kids. Hopefully her visit would be quick and easy, so she wouldn't take up so much of his time. She smiled. "It must get really tiring, doing this. I saw at least a dozen kids on my way here." she told him.

Well, now it was time to get down to business. She hadn't wanted to spend very long in here at all, and so had decided upon a Pokémon beforehand. She had been stuck between Charmander and Squirtle for weeks and weeks, but had finally chosen Charmander for it's evolution, Charizard. She looked at the professor with her unusual lilac eyes. "I made my choice earlier. I almost picked Squirtle, but- I'd love a Charmander, please. Male, if you have one." she smiled.

"My oh my this is your lucky day. Last male Charmander of litter 6. Also the remainding litter." Professor Oak smiled. He went far back through a sliding glass door. There were three large sections. There was one being an unusually large siwmming pool. The other being a forest off the property. And one being a volcanic and kind of rocky area. It wasn't hard to figure out where you found each one.
All areas being part of the Professor Oak property, besides the forest.
He roamed around the volcanic area, looking around. Charmander, Charmeleon, and few Charizard roamed the area. All respecting Oak and moving out of his way. mMostly Charmander dashed around and Oak grabbed a particularly playful one. It was a baby one, you could tell because the young female Charmander were still and tired. The young male ones don't stop movign and occasionally walk in their sleep.

Being 12 minutes total, Oak came abck with a Charmander in his left hand and a pokeball in his right. He showed Sulteron the proper way of returning a pokemon. He pressed the button which enlarged the poekball, then red light shot out and sucke dteh Charmander in. Just in case considering most of them did not know. he then, handed Sulteron the pokeball containing the Charmander.

Sulteron watched as the Professor caught the male. At first, she watched with interest. Later, however, she grew somewhat bored and began to watch a Bulbasaur as he untangled himself from a vine. It was rather funny. It wasn't long, however, that her attension was drawn again to the Professor as he returned, male Charmander in hand. She listened and watched as he returned the Pokémon, keeping it in ming so she would know how to do this later, when she would really need it. She reached out and took the Pokéball from Professor Oak. "Thank you very much, Professor. Erm- goodbye, then." she said, nodding in respect as she turned to leave. The Espeon 'morph walked away from the lab, heading to the first route of Kanto.
