genesis I - the beginning

He was resting out on the grass, eyes shut and hands behind head as he faced the sky. An occasional cloud would shade him letting things cool down temporarily until the sun shined strongly upon him again. He was wearing only his loose jeans, his shirt laying at his side pinned to the ground by a white paw. One arm extended to the side to gently stroke the creature's head as Ninetales whimpered in content.

He wanted to take a day's rest before he would set out. It was going to be a long while before he would return home, so he wanted to spend as much time here but knew that he needed to leave early. Otherwise, it would be harder, and he had already been through enough. He was worried about his mother to be honest, but he was sure that with the neighbors as friendly as they were she would be fine and that if something was to happen, the gods forbid, he would know right away.

Ninetales turned her head quickly to the boy and whimpered as if asking him a question. With a smile Genesis responded, "I'm ready when you are, girl." Excitement rose in the Pokemon and quickly she scurried to her feet, picking up the shirt and handing it to the boy as he sat up. As he was putting it on his mother came out with several things in her arm, and a conversation started. He was also given a comfortable pair of saddles while his mother explained that he would run better in them.

As they bid farewell to each other they started for the exit, prepared to begin what they hoped would be a very happy and successful journey.

As Genesis exited and began to leave to embark upon their journey, a shout was heard and the male was nearly knocked over as something rammed him from behind, the figure feeling rather slender and light weighted. No sooner did a Pokeball begin to slide between his legs and release a Pokemon from it's pure white vapor ; a silver Pupitar materializing. "Ah! I'm sorry!" a feminine voice came as a young female came into view, dressed in a lab coat with a distressed look in her hazel brown eyes. "I apologize, sir. I was just in a hurry and I tripped and I uhh I uhh.. I'm sorry.." she said with a sigh and an embarrassed blush upon her cheeks as she gave a bow.

The Pupitar however scanned Genesis with interest, glancing to his Ninetails and scooting a bit closer to the trainer as the female stumbled over her words.

He fell facedown into the dirt with a yelp, causing the soil to jump in the gap upon his face; however, he had been able to manage a shutdown of his eyes quickly before turning around swiftly. The Ninetales growled a warning toward the intruder as it turned around and faced them while the boy was getting up to his feet. It was only a young lady donned in a lab coat; he backed down and lowered his fist to place a gentle palm upon Ninetales's head when the heel of his foot touched a round object. He looked down to find a Pokeball and a Pupitar staring up at them.

Quickly he had forgotten all about the collision as he bent down to examine the silver Pokemon closely. He hadn't seen so many Pokemon and this was one of those Pokemon that piqued his curiousity. Mentally he was making a note to himself as to try and catch a wild one someday, as he knew that catching a Trainer's Pokemon was considered stealing. He glanced up to the stranger and with a curious tilt of his head he said, "I don't think I've seen you around here before. I'm Genesis and that's Ninetales. She won't bite, of course, not unless I tell her to."

[Naze]

The female gave a smile as he seemed more interested in the Pupitar that had been accidentally released. Taking the time to straighten her posture and brush her waist length jet black hair out of her face, she examined the male with a frown ; her brown hues reflecting the dirt now staining him. "I'm sorry.." she apologized once more as the boy looked towards her rather then the small steel Pokemon.

"I would think not," she began with a slight laugh, placing her hand to her mouth delicately before lowering it once more and cuffing it within her other hand positioned infront of her. "I'm an assistant at the laboratory. Part time of course, I usually assist in Kanto but recently the professor here ordered some kind of package or other so I flew over here.." she explained shortly with a glance off towards the distance, gaze aimed towards the lab a good ten minutes away. "But, when I came there he was getting harassed by this little Pokemon here. It took my Blastoise to get the thing to at least stop!" the assistant stated with a slightly raised voice as if distressing over the situation all over the again though she swiftly released a sigh and began to scan over Genesis once more.

"I'm shocked, to tell you the truth.." she began rather under her breath as the Pupitar simply sat in place, obviously intrigued by the male trainer. "It seems to really like you.." said the assistant, her voice barely audiable before a smile adorned her thin lips and her face brightened noticably. "Tell you what! I'm sorry I banged into you, and this little guy really seems to like you. I was just going to go let him go in some mountain region on my way back to Kanto but if it's possible, would you like to take him?" she inquired with a kind smile, finding no reason why she needed to keep him especially when the Pupitar seemed so quietly intrigued by the trainer.

He shrugged as he started to adjust his attire, brushing off the dirt as best he could while reaching for the bag at his waist. "It's all right, I got a spare shirt and the jeans wash good." He glanced toward the Pupitar again as he commenced on changing his shirt. Tucking the dirty one away into another bag that he had just strapped over his shoulder, he nodded with a smile and extended his own gloved hand to accept the offered handshake. He put down the bag and pulled out a fresh shirt from the one he had around his waist. It was obvious that the boy worked out for he was in very good shape.

The Ninetales sniffed around Pupitar gently, wondering if it was to be trusted, and after a short while it made its decision as it sat down and waited for the boy to speak again as she glanced at the lady in the lab coat. She was introducing herself somewhat and explaining what she was here for, and all Ninetales could do was practically raise an eyebrow. Why would a young boy be interested in all of that?

Genesis had put the fresh shirt on but he was rather disappointed that it smelled like roses. He pulled out cologne from the bag and sprayed it all over himself before glancing at Pupitar again. "Yeah, it seems to..." He was a bit startled when the assistant exclaimed. All the boy could do at this moment, being speechless, was stammer. "I-I-I don't know... I mean, you caught it fair and square, and I have no idea how Ninetales would take to it." But he saw the nod from Ninetales, as if she was approving of the lady's request.

[Naze]

Giving a mild chuckle once more at the boy's stuttering, she silently picked the Pokeball that once held the Pupitar up from the floor and returned the Pokemon to it's proper ball. Once more, she looked over the trainer and his silvery furred Ninetails.. He seemed to only have one Pokemon, and judging by how clean he was.. Well clean until she accidentally collided with him, the boy seemed to be a new trainer. A perfect starting gift.. the assistant thought before approaching Genesis further and offering the male the Pupitar's Pokeball. "He's yours. He's certainly no use to me, I usually train water and grass Pokemon anyway and like I said, I was just going to let him go," the female stated and gave a glance down towards the Shiny Ninetails with interest. "And she seems rather calm about a new addition to the party."

He glanced at the Pokeball with hesitation, not sure at all whether it would've been a good idea to accept the offered Pokemon. It did seem to like him and Ninetales, and Ninetales didn't look so upset about it. As the lady continued to speak, he was given the time to think on it, and finally, once she stated that the Ninetales didn't seem to mind, he nodded. "Okay, but I owe you." He took the Pokeball and placed it in one of the empty loops around his waist. It was obvious that he didn't have any Pokeballs at all, but the boy didn't seem to mind. Perhaps he had planned to travel with only Ninetales for a while, but now that they had another companion he was reconsidering.

"I would have to head to the store to get some of those," he pointed to the Pokeballs before readjusting his bag to hang loosely. He put the other bag around Ninetales's neck as if it was a large collar, but the creature didn't seem to mind. "If you want to tag along, we wouldn't mind, right, Ninetales?" The white Pokemon stood up on all four and nodded with a soft growl. "The more the merrier, after all."

[Naze]

The female seemed rather shocked as the trainer offered her to tag along and for a moment, seemed a bit flustered before glancing away with a hesitant shake of her head. "That's tempting but, I had my own journey a long time ago before I decided to settle down in a lab. And the professor in Kanto couldn't even find the storage closet without me!" she spoke rather happily as if recalling fond memories of long ago and of her current professor back in a region rather far from Kyoto. "And with that, I should be getting back to him. Though I wish you luck on your adventure, you and your Pokemon," the assistant added before taking one of her own Pokeballs into her hands and stepping back quite a few steps until she was a 'safe' length away from Genesis. "Farewell then, if you ever visit Kanto I'd love to see you again!" the woman clad in the laboratory coat happily spoke before releasing a large, orange scaled Dragonite which she swiftly mounted with a wave goodbye at the trainer as the dragon Pokemon began to lift itself from the ground with it's smell yet powerful wings..

[+ genesis|siseneg +]

He shrugged with a smile as the Ninetales sat gently by his side, their eyes upon the lady in the lab coat. While she was mounting the Dragonite the boy muttered to the Pokemon at his side quietly. "The professor and she must be very, very close..." With a wink at her, he turned his attention back on the lady as she spoke again, and he shrugged again. "It will be a long while before I'm there." He returned the wave and watched as she launched up into the sky.

"You know... She never gave us her name, didn't she? I imagine it wouldn't be easy to find her if we ever got to Kanto, Ninetales, but I'm sure you would recognize her scent. Wouldn't you, girl?" The Ninetales smiled with a gentle nod as she looked at the sky before turning north. "So... ready to start the journey now? Hopefully there would be no more bumping. At least from people." He chuckled as he patted the Ninetales lightly on the head and took a step forward. Now it was truly the beginning.
