{Change}Tough{My}Descision{Life}

[Birdybot]

There was a Pokémon running nimbly through the region of Airore. She was heading for the haven area. Behind her lay her parents, their goodbyes brief and neutral. Ahead... a new life filled with hope and oppertunity, with countless adventures to be had and hundreds of different Pokémon to catch. The mint green Espeon turned heads as she darted through the Haven Area, for it was unusual to find Psychic types in this area, even the ones which had evolved from the Eevee that had been released from the lab for Route One or in the plains of Norm. This was because this Espeon had a secret; she wasn't an Espeon.

Sulteron had left her home in another region early that morning, morphing into her Pokémon form so that she might get to her destination faster. It had worked. She was almost upon Apple Blossom Labs, and it was only the afternoon; in her human form, she had neither the speed nor stamina to be able to make it all this way in just a day. She shifted her course slightly, making for a tree. The Espeon never emerged.

Instead, Sulteron stood on her hind legs, feeling her body begin to stretch, her fur shrink into her skin in most places. When she had transformed completely into her human form, only her ears, tail and the jewel on her forehead gave any indication that she was different. Well, that and the traced of green fur and her startling purple eyes. Presently, they surveyed the landscape, knowing that the lab was near by.

Sulteron stretched up tall, working the kinks out of her now changed muscles before taking a sheet of paper out of the pocket of her jeans. On one side, there was a map. The other had a list of starter Pokémon, of which she hadn't descided on one yet. She supposed that she would ask to see a few before choosing one of them for it's personality.

Following the map, the Espeon Pokémorph quickly reached Apple Blossom Labs. She inhaled and exhaled deeply, measuring her breathing. Right. She would go in, get a Pokémon, go out, then begin a new life. A few nervous minutes would be worth that freedom. She reached out a hand tainted with pale green fur, rapping sharply on the door. She found it unlocked, swinging open on her first knock. She stepped inside the cool interior.

Clearing her throat, the young girl called loudly into the laboratory. "H-Hello? Professor Apple Blossom? I'd really like it if I could take a look at a Charmander, Cyndaquil, Chikorita and Eevee!" she called. Although she had once shared the DNA of an Eevee and desperately wanted one on her team, she felt that Charmander had a good moveset and so her descision was slightly in favour of a Charmander. Especially that golden kind which became black when they evolved. Shinies. They were supposed to be more common in this region, right?

[Crazed Lapras]

At the sound of the young woman's voice, a loud crash echoed from the depths of the lab. It was followed by the shrill shrieking of several different kinds of bird pokemon and the incoherent exclamations of another woman. A few moments later a heavy door slammed, cutting off most of the noise. A short woman with frizzy red hair and dressed in a lab coat walked around the corner into the entrance hall, muttering to herself. She spotted Sulteron and stopped in her tracks, blinking at the pokemorph behind thick, square glasses. Perched atop her head, nestled into her masses of hair, was a shiny yellow pidgey. It cocked its head to one side, twittering softly at Sulteron.

It took Professor A.B a moment to recover herself. She suddenly seemed to remember where she was, and shook her head slightly. "Oh, hello my dear. Wait here a moment. I'll go round up some starters." She went over to a cluttered desk and shuffled around until she found a bizarre looking key. She smiled at Sulteron, and walked back down the hall.

She came back a short while later, herding a group of pokemon. She ushered them through a door just off the main hall, beckoning for Sulteron to follow.

The room looked to be a waiting room, filled with poofy neon colored couches with overgrown plants stretching out from the corners. The pokemon scattered about the room while the Professor stood off to the side. "Here you are. Feel free to pick whichever one you like!"

There were nine pokemon in all... quite the little crowd actually. One silver eevee bounced toward the nearest couch, jumping up onto it and kneading it with her small, shiny paws. Another eevee, this one male, strode toward Sulteron with his head held high, the ruff of brown fur around his collar perfectly groomed. A second female eevee batted playfully at a leaf protruding from one of the potted plants.

There were also two charmander. The male was a golden yellow, the female a lovely orange, and the two of them were having fun wrestling with each other.

The two cyndaquil, one of each gender, were shyer. The female sat down in the middle of the room, blinking drowsily while the male attempted to referee the mock-fight the charmanders were having.

Last were the two chikorita. The male bounced around the room, investigating everything while the female walked up to Sulteron. Stretching as high as her little body would allow, the patted the girl's arm with her little green leg, begging for attention.

[Birdybot]

Sulteron gasped, dazzled by her options. Two shinies? This day just kept on getting better and better. It was shame she could only pick one. She was tempted to simply eliminate the other Pokémon from her options purely because they weren't shiny, but she knew better than to pick a starter for it's colouring.

First, she took a look at the Cyndaquil. They both seemed painfully shy, the female especially. She felt that the male, because of his preferation as a referee, would be better for a Coordinator, or someone who would not use him in a battle so much. So, perhaps not one of these Cyndaquil, then.

Next, the Eevees. They were both adorable, but the male seemed very vain and so might be a little stubborn... so, not the male. However, the female, the shiny, seemed a suitable choice. Sulteron was very tempted to go with the female shiny Eevee as her choice, but Eevee didn't have the best of moveset's to start out with and she would probably be able to find one in the Plains of Norm, anyway. So, unfortunately, not an Eevee.

It was between Charmander and Chikorita now. To be more specific, the shiny male Charmander and the female Chikorita resting her paws on her arm. True, Chikorita were cute, but this one was perhaps a little too attention-seeking... Charmander seemed fun-loving, a good fighter from what she could see. The lizards had better movesets as well. Yes, she would choose Charmander to be her first Pokémon, then. She looked to Professor Apple Blossom. "Might I please take the shiny Charmander to be my first Pokémon?" she asked politely.

[Crazed Lapras]

The charmander stopped his tussling when he heard Sulteron's voice. He had his female counterpart pinned to the ground, and she squirmed in his hold. The female chikorita dropped to all fours and turned her back on Sulteron, her head held high, obviously sulking.
Professor A.B smiled. "Of course. Let me take these guys away and I'll come back with your starter kit." She took a moment to round up the other pokemon and left at a brisk pace.
When she came back, she had a plain but sturdy pack slung over her shoulder. She offered it to Sulteron, as well as a pokemon that appeared to belong to the charmander.
"Good look on your journey. Feel free to stop by whenever you want." She hesitated for a moment, before continuing. "By the way, you probably know I do intense research concerning pokemon. If you happen to find out any information concerning the legendary pokemon that live around our region, I would appreciate a tip."

[Birdybot]

Sulteron's cat like ears perked up noticably. Legendaries? Like, the strong and amazing Pokémon such as some of her personal favourites, like Mew, Jirachi, Suicune, Arcues and Ho-Oh? She grinned at the very thought of actually coming face-to-face with living, breathing, legendary Pokémon. "Yep, got it! If I find out anything interesting about a legendary Pokémon, I'll tell you right away!" she smiled, waving on her way out. She wondered if she would, in fact, see one of these special Pokémon. Maybe. Maybe not. Well, she would see, right? Looking down at her presently unnamed Charmander, she began to walk int the direction of Route One. "Come on, then, Charmander. Let's go start an adventure." she said aloud, and they walked into the area known as the first route.
