The two kids were overwhelmed with excitement. They'd never been in the lab before and Yob described it as snazzy.
"Erm mah gerd," he proclaimed," Look, it's professor's assistant Prodigy39!"
Prod was in the back of the room recording results on a notepad while muttering statistics.
"So feeding Ivysaur a diet of Lavaridge cookies has quite fatal effects....."
"Hello!" Gray butted in,"We're here to see Professor 1cec0ld about starting our journeys to become Pokemon Masters! Dun da!"
"Urrrrr, he's right over there on his computer," Prod replied, pointing to a man playing some video game on the computer.
"Oh my gosh. Oh my gosh, oh my goshhhhhhhh!" Yob squealed," It's really you! The amazing, the brilliant, the 1cec0ld!!!"
The man turned to face the kids," I get that a lot, what do you want? I'm busy trolling noobs on 'League of Legends'.
"We're here to get our very first Pokemon!" Gray explained.
1ce got up out of his seat," Urr calm down, so much enthusiasm, being a Pokemon master ain't that great and becoming one is like finding a shiny Pokemon, 1in 8192 chance."
"You're so smart oh Great One!" Yob said grinning.
"Prodigy, go get the starter Pokemon."
Prod started to run of to the Pokemon storage room but tripped, fell on the side bench knocking of chemicals and Pokeballs then slipping on their remains and falling to the ground. He quickly stood up, slipped again knocking some more over again with a loud shattering sound before recovering and moving on.
1ce sighed,"His mother really gave him the wrong name..."

After the three Pokeballs were lined up on the choosing table Gray started to contemplate who he would pick. He was so excited he forgot to decide on one the day before.
"Hmmm, I think I'll take Squirtle," he said and after getting handed the Pokeball he made his signature pose.
"We'll I'll take Bulbasaur then, cool and collective like me. One with nature! Just like you 1ce," Yob said stroking 1ce's lab coat.
"Great, another clingy one."
"Who will take Charmander then?" Gray asked.
"That would be me," a kid walked in the door. He had a red jacket and hat and just strutted up to the table, giving off awesomeness," The name's Tactic_ninja."
Prod handed him the Pokeball.
"You two are starting your journey too? Awesome, can't wait to see you around!" He said before getting handed a strange device.
"This is a pokedex, I'm giving all three of you one. Go catch every type of Pokemon or just look at them, I don't care. I'd fill it out myself but I really couldn't be bothered," 1ce explained.
Tactic gave Gray and Yob a nod before heading out. The two farewelled 1ce and Prod and also left. As they were going 1ce yelled out to Gray," I hope your mother is well, she said se wanted to try some experiments with me while you're gone on your conveniently long journey. Have fun."
Before Gray could take in what was just said Yob started babbling on about how amazing the professor was and before they knew it they were at route 1.
