>>19137776>Cyndaquil chosenThe Pokeball shoots out a beam of light, and Cyndaquil begins to manifest itself before you.
"Uh, hey there buddy. I'm your trainer, and I think we're going to have an awesome journey together." you greet your Cyndaquil.
Cyndaquil slowly edges itself towards you, and starts sniffing your shoes and jeans. He appears tense at first, but slowly loosens up, clearly taking a liking to you.
But before the two of you can interact any further, Betty calls out to you.
"Hey Alex!"
"What?"
"Well the both of us just got our starter Pokemon, so I say we have a battle right here right now." Betty challenges.
"Do I have a choice?"
"Not really."
You're going to have your first Pokemon battle.
"I'll referee!" Professor Elm shouts, only managing to get one hand out of the piss jar.
