Hi, I’m Thanis. Today I’m getting my first Pokemon. I pretty much know all the basic "secrets" about them; it’s just that I haven’t gotten one before. Today is my one and only chance. I’m walking to Professor Oak's laboratory. Who is Professor Oak, you say? Why, he's the most famous Pokemon expert in the world. I've been told by world-wide Pokemon champion Ash Ketchum himself, that Professor Oak had met him a long time ago even before the Professor became a professor. Sammy Oak (that’s his name) was blown into the future with a Celebi (grass and psychic type) by Celebi's time-traveling power. He and ash had to save the Celebi before it got captured by this evil guy who wanted to use its power for himself. But Ash and Sammy Oak saved the day at the end. Well, I’m off to the lab. People, no interruptions please. See ya later! Ok, I’m here. *knock knock knock* hello? Oak: Just a minute! Oh, there you are. I’ve been preparing the Pokemon for your arrival. Me: Wow, they look so good! Hmm, you assembled all the starter Pokemon for me? Even Jhoto? Oak: Yes. It took me long time to get them all for u. Me: Thanks so much! Hmm, which one should I choose? I think. . . .either Torchic or Treecko or. .Eevee?!?! Oak: Yes, I got it just for you. Me: but. . but. . Oak: Oh, yes. Me: I never knew . . ?!?! Oak: well I didn’t mean to play favorites but u are the brightest one in all my classes. Me: I never knew that either. Well, I think I'll pick Eevee, since u took so many pains to get it. Thanks again! Oak: You’re welcome! Here’s the Pokeball for Eevee. Bye! Me: Bye! And so I start on my journey. Hi again. I’m going to try out my Eevee today, to see how it battles. Me: Ready, Eevee? Eevee: ee, vee! Ok, let’s find some wild Pokemon! Cool! There’s a Poochyena! Let’s see if it wants to battle. Poochyena: grr, rarw! (Shivers and backs away. nervous chuckle) Ok, it does. Me: All right, go Eevee! Eevee: vee! Me: Eevee, use Tackle! And so goes the battle. Me: . . . ?!?!?!?! You defeated it with one move!? You’re powerful, fast, and really good at following orders. Cool! I think I’ll name you Keera. How does that sound to you? Keera: ee! (big smile) Me: All right! Well, you just won your first battle without a scratch. This is going to be great! Keera: ee, vee, ee! Me: What? You hear something? Hey, I hear it too! Stay tuned for more of this exciting saga!
