Sapphire makes her move

[Cherri-chan]

Sapphire dashed across the park enthsiastically. She was finnaly setting out on her journey to be a trainer. She'd planned that once she'd beaten the champion, and got her pokemon to a high enough level, she would start co-ordinating in the Pokemon Contests.

Sapphire darted towards the lab and then she remembered what her mother had said. "Come back and show me your pokemon before you head out. I have a surprise for you, honey!" Sapphire hated it when her mum called her "Honey".

As Sapphire got closer and closer to the lab at a dashing speed, the glass doors to the lab were opened and an inviting yet almost eerie voice sounded, "Come in! Come in! You're here for your first Pokemon aren't you, child?". A man sat on the silver shaded counter at the front of the lab, a few ordinary Pokeballs scattered around him that contained the starter Pokemon of Kyoto Region. Much too odd to even come close to be called the professor, the male known as Akane watched Sapphire darting forward eagerly through his curved silvery bangs, one of his rather long black nails fiddling with an empty Pokeball as if in boredom. "Ah the joys of youth, to be starting a journey all over again, straight from scratch," Akane said with a rather dark chuckle that sounded rather weird, similar to 'shishishi'.

And with that s Sapphire nearly reached the doors, Akane slid off the counter and onto the other side, his long black clothing seeming to be no obstacle in the maneuver as he seated himself in the rolling black chair that the Professor would usually seat himself in.

"Hey!" Sapphire hesitated for a moment and then ran in to the lab. "I'm here for my first pokemon." Sapphie looked at the man and went over to him. Sapphire was still hoping to get a cute looking Pokemon rather than one of those evil looking ones like zangoose or seviper.

Sapphire had to bet on it all to see what pokemon the professor had. All she wanted to do was travel. She wasn't after the pokemon as much as her dad, Professor Birch, wanted her too.

In his own odd yet certainly not unfriendly way, Akane's smile somehow grew if such a feat was possible. Taking kindly to the fact that this young girl had not been frightened off by his all be it weird appearance, he stood and gave another eerie chuckle along with a slight poke to Sapphire's cheek with his long nails that were painted black with nail polish, only adding to his oddicies. "Of course, of course.. It seems like not too long ago I was one of the children starting a journey.. Oh-ho.." Akane stated before spinning around sharply upon his heel to go retrieve the seven Pokeballs laid upon a table in the middle of the inside section of the laboratory. Each one was marked with a simply sticker that only one working within the lab knew the true meaning of. "We have plenty to choose from.. Hauns!" Akane said before calling his Pokemon that appeared from behind the door, obviously the force that opened it. A simple Haunter that gave Sapphire a kind smile before rushing over to it's companion and picking up a few Pokeballs while Akane retrieved the rest. "Here are your choices, child," the man cooed before all Pokemon released in one bright blast of white from the ball's centers revealing the following ; A Lotad, Mareep, Houndour, Ralts, Machop, Oddish, and Starly whom all gave glances from Akane to Sapphire with curiosity blazing within their young pupils.

"Cool!" Sapphire cried gobsmacked at the selection of Pokemon. Out of them either Ralts or Mareep would be her choice. Sapphire bent down at the two balls and peered at them carefully. "Oh!" she whinged "It's way too hard! I'll be here all day!" She looked at the Mareep ball and then imagined a Flaffy pulling off Thunder. Then she imagined a Kirlia spinning around with Teeter Dance whilst flinging opponents around using Psychic whilst looking at the Ralts ball.

Then Sapphire imagined Mareep being attacked by a thrashing Beedrill and Vesbiqueen. Mareep fryed them all and then sent them packing with a quick attack. Then she saw a Geodude with an Onix. They completely buried Mareep in Mud-Slap and Rock-Tomb. She then imagined the Kirlia being beaten by a mingy Caterpie and a Burmy. Then she imagined a Gengar coming and frigtening a Ralts away. Then the Mareeep stepped up and roared a Thunder attack at it. The Gengar faded away quickly. "I chose Mareep!" Sapphire cheered picking up the ball and then releasing her Pokemon.

With usually emerald shaded eyes Akane watched the young female carefully under his long, stylishly curved bangs, releasing an occasional chuckle under his breath as he noticed her daydreaming of different situations with each Pokemon choice. A smart choice of action but amusing none the less until she finally made her selection ; the young Mareep that was taken by Sapphire and released from it's confining Pokeball with a few sparks of electricity as if for show. "Good choice, Mareep are usually very interesting to have within a party.." Akane stated with another good natured chuckle before withdrawing the Pokeballs from the girl's vision and back to the table where they would be kept for any more awaiting young trainers that may arrive.

"I will hope for your success as a Pokemon Trainer and a long lasting relationship with that Pokemon of your's. Oh, and these should help you along from journey.." Akane said with a glance down at the small sheep Pokemon then directing his invisible gaze back towards Sapphire before reaching within his long flowing black jacket. A moment or two passed before Akane was able to lay a Pokedex belonging to Kyoto Region down upon the table along with three average Pokeballs. "Best of luck, child," the man stated as his Haunter floating back over to the doors made of strong glass and opened one door for Sapphire to exit through.

"Wow cool! Thanks!" Sapphire cheered lifting her new Mareep off the ground. "Wow your heavy! Your about Eight Kilograms!" she chuckled happlily. "See ya Professor!" Sapphire cried dashing out of the door whilst holding the Mareep in her arms. After leaving the lab, Sapphire put Mareep down and collapsed onto some grass, tired out from holding Mareep. "I'm telling you, I think we should use the shoulder cling tecnique.

Hows bouts I nickname ya? Well, your powers are thunderish right and your a Mareep..." Sapphire spend a lot of her time cogitating. "Thunder's Reep! Or Reep for short!" Mareep bleated happlily. "Reeeeep! Mareeeep!" she cried. "C'mon Reep! We'll do this instead..." she pulled a magazine out of her pocket that had a black-haired guy with a cap on the cover with a Pikachu clinging onto his shoulder." Reep jumped onto Sapphire's shoulder, almost knocking her down, as she smiled. "That's better. You feel tonnes lighter now!" Sapphire giggled.
