2nd Person P.O.V
"Which one will you choose? The Water Type Penguin Pokémon Piplup?" 'Pip~ Pip~' "The Grass Type Turtle Pokémon Turtwig?" 'Turt.. Turtwig!' "Or the Fire Type Monkey Pokemon Chimchar?" 'Chimchar! Chimchar!"  You stared at the three starter Pokémon, stars in your eyes.  You looked up at your older sister Cynthia, the most prosperous trainer this region has seen in 20 years.  You wanted to be like her. Strong, brave, smart, beautiful, but most importantly be an excellent Pokémon Trainer! So this decision was a big one, one you'd been dreaming of when Cynthia got her starter Pokémon, Empoleon.

"Which one do you think I should get Cynthia?" You asked, although you already knew the answer. You, yourself, had a fondness for Ground type Pokémon.  You always admired their strength and hard exterior, but they ended up on being huge softies when you got to know them.  "Which ever speaks to you. Try and think of you're self in the Gym Challenges. Which Pokémon do you see by you're side when you're backed into a corner?" Cynthia asked, referring to her Gabite which she had recently caught but was growing an attachment towards quickly. But, at that moment you imagined yourself in the heat of battle, half you're team fainted the other half too low on health with only Pokémon left being.. a Torterra. Cynthia saw the way you're face lit up when you were thinking, eye squinted shut, and fists balled as that would help you focus more. She giggled to herself, she knew you had thought of you're partner. "I-I choose... Turtwig!" You exclaimed pointing to the small grass turtle, who was looking at you with a small sparkle in his eye as well.

'Turtwig!' The small Pokémon exclaimed jumping into your arms, causing you to fall on the floor laughing and giggling. "Good Choice! Now you can begin you're Pokémon Journey! Here are some poke balls you help you catch more Pokémon!" Professor Rowan smiled, and handed you 20 pokeballs from his desk nearby.  He quickly retracted the two other Pokémon back into their pokeballs. "Thank you Professor!" You giggled, bowing, and grabbing you're Turtwig in you're arms causing it to muzzle its snout into you're cheek. "Thank you Professor, but we must get going now (Y/N), or else we'll be eating a cold dinner." Cynthia turned to you arms crossed over her chest in a teasing manner, smirking. You and Turtwig both froze and turned pale, "No! We gotta get going!" You exclaimed grabbing onto Cynthia's arm and dragging her to the front door. She giggled "Thank you again Professor, for giving her a choice so late at night." Cynthia thanked once again, running after you.

The Professor couldn't get another word in before you both were out of his sights. He sighed and chuckled, "What one earth are those 2 going to get up to?" He locked up the lab, and was pouring the food for the 2 Pokémon left, "They show great prosperity, I'm sure they'll turn this region upside down." He thought before heading upstairs to his bedroom.

"Mom, Dad we're home!" You yelled, running to the kitchen, Turtwig following. "Oh my, aw honey what a cute Pokémon! What's it's name?" Your Mother inquired picking up the Pokémon and setting it on the table. You stopped in your tracks and turned on your heel. "Oh it's name is Turtwig!" You smiled, before hopping in a seat at the dinner table. "How cute! Is he hungry?" Your Father asked, cooking some kind of meat on the stove. Turtwig piped up, and began running around the kitchen counter. "I think he is father, but not for meat. It's a grass type Pokémon after all." Cynthia spoke up leaning again the door way, chuckling lightly. "Oh hello Cynthia! How was the 4th Gym? I've heard Crasher Wake is pretty tough." You're mother asked, serving up the human food, while Cynthia poured a bowl of PokeFood and a Pokepuff for Turtwig. "Oh he was a bit tough considering I have primarily Ground and Rock types, but I caught Rosalia before the 3rd Gym so she really helped out." She replied patting the hungry Turtwig on his leafed head.

"We'll I expect nothing less from "the most prosperous trainer Sinnoh has seen in 20 years!"' Your Father chuckled, poking fun at the newly acquired titled. You're family shared a good laugh or giggle from the comment. "Alright dinner is served!" You're father and Mother announced. "Time to eat!" You and Cynthia rejoiced.

"I'm glad they're so close (F/N), it's sweet really." Your mother laughed over the sight of You and Cynthia devouring you're food in a challenge you called "Speed Eating".  The punishment was who ever lost had to do the others chores for the next day. "It is, but they still have the competitive side to each other, they have great bond." Your father sighed contently. You're parents both saw you and you're sister's potential to make a difference in the world, and they fed it. They tried to help you both the best they could.

Whether you or your sister are aware of it, you both were destined for greatness.
