“I’m sorry Kris; we only have two pokemon left. If you want you can wait 
another week or so and by then we should have more pokemon.” Professor Elm 
said sadly as I followed him down a hall to his laboratory.

“That’s ok, can I see you what pokemon you have anyway?” I asked, 
disappointed. Professor Elm led me to his office and over to a small table 
that had two pokeballs on it.

“Sure. This one right here is a chikorita. It’s a grass type. It’s a great 
starter pokemon, very easy to train. Next to it is a Vulpix. It’s a fire 
type. It’s hard to train, sometimes.” He said, holding a notepad.

“I want Vulpix.” I reached over and grabbed the pokeball.

Professor Elm eyed me. “Are you sure. Well, it’s a good starter. It’s only 
level five though, but I think you can handle it and train it. The only move 
it has is amber and tailwhip.” I stared at the pokeball and smiled my very 
own pokemon. The professor walked towards a cabinet that contained many books 
about pokemon, opened it and pulled out a red square device. “This here is a 
pokedex. When you find new pokemon, you pull this out and point it to the 
pokemon. It will tell you information about it. It’s great to have.” He 
handed it to me. When I walked away, one of his assistants ran over to me. I 
stopped. 

“M’am. The professor wanted me to give these to you.” He reached into his 
pockets and pulled out five pokeballs. I took them. When the assistant left, 
I pulled out vulpix’s pokeball off of my belt. 

“Go Vulpix!” I said. I threw the pokeball in the air. A bright light shone 
from it as a 2 foot, 22 pound fox stood. With brown fur, 6 orange tails, and 
dark brown paws. It was very cute. When I started walking towards it, it 
stared at me with caution. I bent down and started to pet it. “Hey Vulpix, 
I’m your new trainer, Kris.” The pokemon gave out a small cry, which sounded 
to me like she was happy. I stood back up and clenched my fist. “I’m going to 
be the greatest pokemon trainer ever! Vulpix, are you ready to travel and 
face many obstacles?” Vulpix nodded. “Let’s go then.”
