(Your turn to play admin Birdy!)
A breeze swept across the Haven Area, stirring the tall grass with its breath. The summer day was generally peaceful as fluffy white clouds drifted by. The sun gave off just enough heat for it to be uncomfortable, but the breeze compensated for that.
Along the paved and well trodden path to the lab doors, a teenage boy walked. He had his head down, his loose bluish-grey hair flopping forward to cover his eyes. He had his hands shoved deep into the pockets of his worn blue jeans. A wrinkle creased his brow, and he seemed to be in deep thought.
What kind of pokemon did he want? He knew generally the kinds of pokemon the kind Professor had. He had waited for this day with heavy anticipation for years. But now that the time had come, Zach had no idea which pokemon he wanted. His steps were slow as he trudged up to the door. He wanted someone who would trust him, someone who would work with, someone who would shut up those who teased him. Zach looked up, startled to realize he was on the porch. He lifted one hand and knocked tentatively on the door, only semi-aware of what he was doing.

Professor Apple Blossom answered the door as she usually did. Her normal welcoming smile was on her face, her tight curls of brilliant red hair bouncing lightly as she pushed her simple square glasses further up her nose, examining the new person at her doorstep. This could only be a new trainer. He seemed somewhat unaware of what he was doing, as though he felt this were all a dream. She found that was the case a fair amoun with these new trainers. She wondered briefly whether or not he had thought about what Pokémon he would take.
"Hello, my name is Professor Aspen. Please, come on in, new trainer." she said, waving. She opened the door wider to acomodate Zach, ursering him in after her. Inside, the Lab seemed like a regular lab. Apple Blossom leaned against an old fashioned desk, still smiling. She tucked a loose curl behind an ear. "So, do you know what kind of Pokémon you would like? If not, do you know what Pokémon we have to offer?" she asked him.

Zach blinked at the Professor, still thinking hard. "Um, could I see a Torchic, Chikorita, Piplup, and Houdour please?" He asked. He had heard a rumor that the Professor sometimes gave out shiny pokemon. The thought of having a shiny pokemon appealed to him, but he would base his decision on personality and capability. That thought in mind, he nodded his head. "Yes, one of those should be good. I hope it isn't a burden to see four different kinds of pokemon."

Professor Apple Blossom smiled warmly. "No, showing you so many is not a problem. I'll show you a male and female of each Pokémon, OK?" she declared, digging down into her filing cabinet. She quickly and swiftly drew out six Pokéballs, then started lifting others up in attempt to find the correct Pokémon. Eventually, she managed to draw out two more Pokéballs, completing the ones she needed. There we go. She was fairly content with this, and gave a rare chuckle as she threw them all into the air at once.
The Torchic both blinked as they emerged, peering around as though they had never seen this place before. There was a little wonder in their eyes, along with curiousity. Then the female fluttered her ting wings, hopping about, while the male sat there, staring questioningly at Zach.
The Chikorita grinned as they emerged. The female nervously sniffed the floor, before trotting a few steps forward and gazing about, looking as though, despite being shy, she was tracking something. She suddenly pounced on an invisible enemy, giggling. The male sniffed, looking obnoxious, before the female batted his oddly coloured leaf and the shiny male Chikorita snarled, leaping in for the fight.
The male Piplup struck a pose as he left his Pokéball, then bowed to Zach, skipping happily up to the boy with his happy-go-lucky attitude. He rested a wing on the boy's arm, smiling. The female, on the other hand, did a sommersault through the air, landing in the middle of the Chikorita's fight. She scolded them, and the shiny male Chikorita began attacking her.
The female Houndour howled, padding over her terratory with a look of dark menace on her face. She glanced over at the male, her intruder, and blinked in surprise. The male Houndour yawned, coughing out a puff of smoke through the hump on his back, wiping his yellow muzzle with a trotter... this was a Numel. Apple Blossom cursed. "Numel, return! Urgh, the trainer's Pokémon must have been playing tricks again." she muttered, returning the Numel and releasing a different Pokéball laybelled 'Houndour; male' picked at random. This was a Houndour, and was a male, but he was, like the Chikorita, a shiny. He seemed to be the strong, silent type as he padded up to Zach, blinking knowingly and he stood beside the human.

The corners of Zach's mouth twitched when he saw the Numel, and the Professor's reaction. He had thought that once he actually met the pokemon, choosing one would be easy. Well, he had thought wrong. He was instantly attracted to the friendly male piplup... who could refuse his charisma? He also liked the male houndour, not just because of his coloring but because Zach guessed that deep inside the dark type's calm exterior was a strong willed fighter. The male chikorita acted like he needed a good thrashing to get him in line. He was out then. Zach drummed his finger idly on the side of his leg, still debating. At last he looked up at Professor A.B, shrugging as if asking forgiveness. "May I have this Piplup?" he asked, patting the male -who was still resting on his arm- on the head. "He seems like a good fellow... a good friend."

Piplup squealed in excitement, practically vibrating in happiness. The other Pokémon, with reactions from sighs of relief to looks of envy, were all taking back into their Pokéballs respectively. Professor AB nodded. "Yes, of course. Good choice, basing things off the personality rather than colouring. Here is your Piplup's Pokéball, along with your starter's items." he smiled, dumping a load of goods into Zach's hands.

Zach took the items from the Professor, juggling them all with difficulty. A small smile broke his features, a rare sight, but he seemed to be actually pleased. "Thank you Professor. I promise I'll take care of him." After storing the various items in secure locations -where he would probably forget he had them- Zach turned and led his new water friend to the door.
