A Welcoming Gift

(I'll try to make this as quick as possible.)

After getting some advice from an old lady, Branden found himself walking up to a Pokémon lab, a smile on his face. This was going to be a great start to his time in Avana. He knocked on the door lightly before opening it and walking in. Surprisingly, it seemed empty. Not at all what he had expected.

"Professor? You here? I heard you were giving out free Pokemon. I'd like to pick one up," Branden called out, wondering if there was anyone around to hear him.

It took a few minutes before a man came out from a back room. "Hello sorry for the wait! You have heard right, its so that you can travely ever so freely in the region. We have two choices: One- you can choose a starter from a previous region or Two- you can let the computer here choose a pokemon from the National 'Dex" he explained as he moved closer to the computer behind him.

"Okay. Sounds good to me." He nodded, heading over to the computer. "I think I'll just take my chances with a random pick." Leaning over the electronic device, he pressed some buttons, his mind lost in thought. Ever since he decided to come up here, he had been thinking of just what kind of pokemon the professor had in his collection. Hopefully he wouldn't get one of the starters. As cool and cute as they were, he had dealt just dealt with too many Mudkips, Snivys, and Charmanders for his own good. They were easy to sell, especially the non-Kanto ones, and easy to find.

"I hope I get something...different. Kind of..odd." Branden thought out loud, mainly to himself. "I want a pokemon that you don't usually see hanging around trainers." While he did prefer poison type pokemon, he was always happy adding another type in his party. Doing so certainly gave a new spin to his usual battle combo of Grimer and Skorupi.

Once he was done messing with the computer he stepped back, excited about getting a new Pokémon.

As the computer shuffled through dark pictures of different types of pokemon, the Professor went about getting together the boys starter parcel. But it wasn't to long before the computer had landed on a Tyrunt picture, dinged, and opened a side compartment that a second later held a shiny pokeball outside of it. A computer near the Professor started to print some information that he took and put with the items inside of the box before carrying it over to a table near Branden. "In this box is the statistics of your new partner along with some things that should be able to get you through the first part of your adventure." The professor spoke before he moved back a couple of feet to watch the boy.

With no time to spare Branden began rummaging through the box. He took the items and stuffed them into his tote bag before picking up the pokeball, excitement rushing through him. He loved free things. What could he say? He was a cheapskate, tried and true. Stepping back in order to give the pokemon some room, he released it, eyes lighting up as he saw it. It was a shiny, and judging by it's dinosaur-esque appearance, a fossil pokemon, too. His wish had come true. This really was something that you didn't see everyday. "Man. I hit the jackpot." Branden smiled as he admired it's beautiful deep blue coloring. He then pulled out it's stats, looking them over- A girl...seemed pretty strong...nice defense...

As Branden continued to read, he felt something tugging on his pants, and then felt a sharp pain in his ankle. He looked down only to find the Tyrunt clamped onto his ankle, it's tail whipping back and forth. "What the-? Stop that!" Branden yelled, kicking the pokemon off of him. It staggered back, looking up at it's new trainer with narrowed eyes.  

"Alright. That's enough of that." He quickly returned his new Tyrunt to it's pokeball before it had the chance to attack him again. Letting out a deep breath, Branden placed the ball into his bag and turned to the professor, a polite smile on his face. "Thanks, prof. I'll make sure to put her to good use." He walked out the door, and into a whole new adventure.
