The world was so much bigger than she'd ever known. Many regions and many different kinds of pokemon to see and meet and befriend. Different places to explore, and an entire world of sights and sounds and smells to experience. A world of inspiration, and now she was ready to make her own adventure begin. Mostly it would be to help fuel her creative mind for finishing up her second book, but also she really wanted a new pokemon friend that no one could take away from her so long as she took good care of it.

The hardest part was finding a trainer willing to take her all the way to Pallet Town so she could begin her adventure properly. She could have taken a bus or other transport, but part of her adventure was in the journey and she hadn't wanted to miss any part of it. So she didn't want to spend an excess of funds on transport while she was on this journey. Eventually, if she was lucky, she'd have a bird pokemon to fly around with her and the world would open up to her again. Maybe someday she'd even be able to go to Alola again to visit her grandfather. She'd like that.

The trip took several days and she was nervous and excited by the time she bid the trainer farewell and started looking for the Pokemon Lab and the professor that lived in this small, unassuming town. She decided almost immediately that she loved Pallet Town. It was quaint and homey and she didn't feel like she would get lost here. Much better than her hometown in Celadon City. But she was getting distracted. After a few small detours to admire a local woman's Oddish Amelia finally went to visit the Pokemon Lab of the famous Professor Oak.

"Well, here goes nothing." She prayed that he wouldn't think her too old to make this journey, after all most started as an eleven-year-old. At twenty she was well over that age, and her mother had long insisted she'd never have pokemon because she hadn't made the journey when many other children did. But anyone could love pokemon, and she didn't want to be a trainer. She wanted to write, to help, and to make friends. That was her goal.

So into the Lab she went, asking an aide softly if the Professor was in. He told her to wait and left the room to go and get the professor. All she could do now is wait and hope he wasn't too busy to see her and help her start her journey.

gotta start somewhere!

The sun had already began to approach it's peak, coming closer to late afternoon as the professor wrapped up a few stragglers from the morning starter pokemon rush. It was always a delight for the old man to enjoy some youngin's coming to start their journey at such a young age. He could remember when his grandson began his journey - oh how it felt to long ago now. They really started them at such a young age. One wouldn't think that a child, as they were technically, would be able to vast the world and understand how to survive on their own. It was understandable that lately the lab had been receiving much older, more mature trainers which really was a good call on a parental level as well as a personal level for the trainers themselves. There would be much more room for success.

The short break in between visitors allowed Professor Oak to grab a cup of coffee off the pot, sipping it black just how he liked it. Just as he was sipping the last few drops, one of his aides came in to inform him of a new trainer. Setting his mug down in the deep stainless steel sink, he walked out towards the waiting area where the trainer would be anxiously awaiting him. Smile on his face and shuffling his feet forward rapidly, he called out to her as he approached. "Oh hello young lady! I am Professor Oak. My assistant tells me you want to start on a Pokemon journey, is that right?" Arm extended out for a greeting, jolting her hand up and down, a little jittery from the caffeine boost.

She'd started to wring her hands together fretfully by the time the Pokemon Professor came out to see her. She smiled and rose when he spoke to her, taking his hand and shaking it firmly. "Amelia Lucas. My grandfather speaks highly of you sir." She was sure many people spoke well of the esteemed pokemon professor, but as her grandfather was also a pokemon researcher it meant allot to her that he spoke well of this man.

Once they'd shaken hands she'd let him lead her and follow in his wake. "I know I'm a little old to be starting a pokemon journey, but I'd really appreciate it if you could help me begin my adventure. I've waited a really long time." She was smiling and starting to shift excitedly as they moved into the lab proper.

She knew there was a choice for her to make and she didn't know really what she wanted. The fire pokemon Charmander seemed a bad choice, mostly because it would remind her constantly of the fire canine pokemon friend she'd lost. She didn't really believe there was such thing as a bad pokemon type to start off with, and since she had no preference she absently listed off the other choices in her head a few times as they got situated before just asking what she came up with.

Amelia was aware of the choices offered to her, and took a breath. Of all the ones, she felt that maybe it would be this one that would be the best for her first companion. The first of many, she hoped. "If there are any left, sir, I'd like a Pichu."

Pichu so cute! <3

This young woman was certainly professional and mature for her age. It was a relief to the professor after receiving so many ancy energetic eleven year old still children on a daily basis. "Very nice to meet you, Amelia. There is no such thing as being too old to start on your pokemon journey. May you be able to enjoy your passion!" His voice was very hyped up still from the caffeine but he really was excited for her.

As they neared the four pokeballs of choice, each etched with their corresponding symbols above the dividing line between white and red on the balls, she immediately spout out her choice. This led the professor to believe that she did proper research before coming into the lab and was well prepared for her journey to come. "Well certainly. This Pichu here actually just hatched today and would make a perfect partner for you." Oak handed over the lightning bolt etched pokeball into the trainer's palm and let it sink in. Sometimes trainers were in a rush, other times they wanted to enjoy this first moment - their very first pokemon. No other pokemon could take the place of your first.

As he allowed her some moments to herself, he turned to a nearby cabinet which housed other items that were given to trainers to start their journeys. A plastic bag in hand, the professor removed items one by one to explain each item that would be given to her. "Along with your Pokemon we are sending you with a Pokedex to send us back information on the pokemon that you capture. A Pokenav for navigation as well as communication. Apps can be added as you journey. A town map, in case you aren't tech savvy. A handful of potions, pokeballs and a few full heals. That should be a good start. Do you have any questions for me?" Pausing for a response, he began placing each item back into the sack that he then handed over to Amelia with a smile on his lips.

congratulations on your new Pichu!

She beamed at him when he handed her the pokeball containing who she hoped would be her friend for many years. After they'd gotten to know each other of course. "I can't wait to meet you." She told the Pichu in the pokeball, which vibrated a little in her hand. A newly hatched Pichu, wouldn't its mother miss it? Or was it an egg that was found without a mother to care for it? She could care for a baby pokemon, raise it up right and make sure it got all the love and attention it deserved. When she next sent a letter to her grandfather she'd see if she could get some pokebeans from the Alola region to give to her little Pichu. She was certain it'd like that.

Amelia waited until after she'd gotten her equipment and stashed it all into her satchel before asking the most important question. "If Pichu just hatched is it going to be okay with me on my journey? Does it need any special care being so young that I should be aware of?" While she waited for his answer she went ahead and let the little creature out of its pokeball, kneeling down in front of it as it looked at her and tipped its head.

"Pi? Pika?"

The young writer almost died of a cuteness overload, but managed to contain herself. She looked closely at the Pichu's tail and nodded to herself "A female Pichu, since her tail is heart shaped at the end." It was kind of hard to tell since she was so small, but she'd helped with enough pokemon to at least know the difference in their genders. "Hello there Pichu. I'm Amelia. I'd like to take you with me on a grand adventure, and maybe we can be friends. Would you like that?" The tiny electric mouse stared at her for the longest time, head and ears tipping back and forth before patting little paws to her face and nodding her head.

"I think that's a yes." She was grinning ear to ear again and carefully picked up the baby pokemon. Once she knew if there were any special instructions for a newly hatched pokemon she could be on her way, officially forging her own path at last.

Worry seemed to flood into the girl's face at the mention of Pichu only hatching today. The professor hadn't meant to cause worry, he had wanted to let her know that it seemed almost fate for this Pichu to end up with her so he thought he would explain himself a bit. "Oh I am so sorry! These starter pokemon are always babies usually hatching a week, possibly two weeks before trainer arrival. I thought it was a coincidence that you showed up on this one's hatching day so I thought, maybe it would be a good fit." Watching as the girl released her Pichu, Oak stood back ever so slightly so that the first face it saw was Amelia's. He didn't want to give it the wrong idea - Pichu was now hers.

They certainly were a cute pokemon. No one could deny that. Well unless of course you weren't a fan of "cute" pokemon to begin with. Continuing on with her question follow up, he smiled and crouched down to the Pichu's eye level...almost. They were quite tiny. "No special care is needed. We give them some initial things at their hatch and once placed in the pokeball for trainers they are good to go. I'm sure you two will make an excellent pair." Easing himself up from a squat position was rather challenging as he braced his lower back. He certainly wasn't getting any more flexible with age. Eyes met back up with the trainers as a gentle smile and softened eyes locked onto her. "Is there anything else I can help you with?"

Her worry disappeared, her radient smile returning as relief flooded her. It made sense that starter pokemon were newly hatched, she imagined that the professor had some breeder friends that provided all the starters for him. If she'd thought about it before she probably would have realized that. But she'd seen orphaned baby pokemon when she was helping her grandfather and had only been worried about Pichu's health and future without its mother.

She looked down at the Pichu tucked in her arms and she quirked her little head at her cutely. "Pika?" Amelia couldn't help but grin wider. "Its meant to be Pichu. You and me, and the wider world ahead of us." She looked back to Professor Oak and nodded, relieved and glad things had gone smoothly for her. She did note that he moved a bit stiffly and worried that she'd caused him some sort of discomfort from worrying too much over her little pokemon. But he didn't seem angry or upset with her, so maybe she was overthinking things. She did that.

"Everything is perfect. Thank you so much Professor Oak. I'll take really good care of Pichu. Thank you for helping me make the first steps on my adventure." With everything now settled and her journey at its beginning Amelia made certain she had her satchel secured and a good grip on Pichu before heading out into Pallet Town and taking the first steps on her pokemon journey.
