Green

choosing

Professor oak walks behind the table, putting his arms behind his back with a slight smile,

"ahh, its always heartwarming when a child gets there first pokemon"

"hey, i'm not a child anymore, i am a teenager!"

"well, a teenager is close enough!" he says with a slight chuckle.

i stick my tongue out at the professor who grins then waves his arm towards the table and starts to speak "this is a very important time in a child's life, to choose their first pokemon, it teaches them responsibility, trust and many other things, well, still to be taught of course, but i don't like holding people up on something they have been waiting such a long time for so, lets begin shall we?"

"yes yes yes!" i say shaking my head up and down more as more of my hair flings around waiting for the professor to start.

"well ok then" he says picking up each of the balls and releasing each pokemon with a flash of red light. "here are the three choices you have, charmander" he waves his hand at a small bipedal creature with bright red scaly skin with small fangs and sharp claws with a simple tail with a small flame at the end of it "squirtle" he ushers at a small turtle like creature with a shell that covers its stomach and back allowing room for its small swirly tail and clawed legs and feet to fit out of. Its head it rounded with a wide mouth and big eyes "and finally bulbasaur" he points to the last one that is a small frog-like creature with smooth skin that is a sort of green, that army men would wear into combat, it also has a large bud growing out of its back closed tight, and its head has two small catlike ears that sit above his huge sad eyes.

Looking at all of the creatures i get mixed feeling about each of them. The small lizard one, charmander, looks to full of itself, but also seems very strong, it seems a lot like one red would get, which is funny, seeing as it is red. The next one, squirtle, seems very defensive and powerful, but very unsure of what it can do, seems a bit like blue, also very funny, but the one i like the most is bulbasaur. It looks very unhappy, as if it seems like no one ever liked it, but also very happy, looking at the upsides of thing hoping for the best, kind of, well, kind of like me...

"bulbasaur" i say

"b-bu, *ahem* are you sure about that?" the professor stutters

"yes" i say "i like it, i want that one"

the small green creature looks up at me surprised, like it never expected to be chosen.

I love it so much and look up and smile at the professor, glad to have finally gotten my first pokemon. The professor seems to be in deep thought as a buzzing sound comes from his P.C. and he jumps then pauses then quickly looks around or the source, noticing me pointing to his P.C. and smiling. He then dashes to the P.C. and checks to see what happened, clicking on the little mail icon he seems to have gotten a message. Quickly skimming it over, he turns around and looks at me with a huge grin on his face " how about my new
