Chris was dressed simply. He didn’t want to be too encumbered as he started his journey, so he was wearing a pair of khaki pants, comfortable, yet durable, and a blue Pokemon League shirt. On his back he wore his yellow backpack, which held some spare clothes and had his collapsible bike strapped onto the back. He left the house, which was now mostly bare. A new family would be moving in soon. He had been living on his own since his father died a few months ago, his mother dieing in childbirth, ten years ago now. Due to him almost being old enough for his Pokemon journey, he had been allowed to stay in the house until then. He had been arranging the sale of the property and sending anything he wouldn’t need himself into storage ever since. And spending time out by the river.

The river between Viridian and Pallet was his favorite place to be, even though he had almost drowned their as a kid. Because that was where his best friend lived. They had met that day, when she had saved him from drowning. After he had gotten a rock off of her tail. As he headed south from Viridian towards Professor Oak’s lab for certification as a trainer, he crossed the bridge that he dove off of when he had heard her cry for help that day. Stopping in the middle, he now called out to her.

“Hey, Draga! It’s time!”

“Oh boy oh boy oh boy oh boy oh boy!” Draga cried as she splashed out of the water. The Dratini would have left his ears ringing, if she had actually spoken instead of psychic transmission. “Um, why are we going south?”

“We have to go see Professor Oak, remember?” Chris shook his head. Draga was a little absent minded, especially when she was excited.

“Oh yeah. Well, then let’s go!”

Chris nodded. “Right.” He then pulled out his bike and rode south, soon arriving at Oak’s lab. He made his way up to the doors of the house, knocked, and waited.

“Hello? Ah, you must be Chris, right?” the old professor said as he opened the door.

“Yes, that’s me, and this is Draga.”

“Already nicknamed her, eh? Well, come on in, and we can get started. You’ll want her as your starter, right?”

“Yes, we both want that.”

“Alright, then I’ll just take care of the paperwork and give you a Pokeball to use.” Oak led the two over to a table where some papers were laid out. Chris signed where he needed to so that he could be registered with the League, and then gave Chris a small red machine and a set of Pokeballs. “You can use this Pokedex to get some information on the Pokemon you meet. It’s incomplete, though, as my database only has the information on Pokemon native to the Kanto region, and a few from Johto.”

“It’s fine. Draga, you ready to make it official?”

“Yeah!” Chris tossed the ball into the air, and Draga jumped up and hit it with her nose. She disappeared inside, and the ball landed in his hand.

“Then let’s go. Thank you, Professor.”

“No trouble, Chris. Good luck out there!” Chris waved goodbye as he walked out the door. He then brought Draga back out of her Pokeball, and the two of them started back north...
