JAMES' P.O.V.

I open the door to Professor Oak's laboratory.

I walk in, and take a moment to look at all of the Pokeballs along the shelves.

'This is incredible! Professor Oak has so many Pokeballs!', I think.

"Oh, hello there James.", I hear someone say.

I look to my left, and see Professor Oak walking up to me.

"Hey Professor. How're you doing?", I ask.

He smiles.

"I'm doing good. You?", Professor Oak says.

"I'm about to do a whole lot better once I get my Partner Pokemon!", I say, giddy with excitement.

Professor Oak laughs.

"I'll bet. You wanted an Eevee, correct?", Professor Oak asks.

"Yes sir!", I say.

Professor Oak walks over to a table with two Pokeballs on it.

"I've been saving her just for you.", Professor Oak says.

He hands me a Pokeball.

I immediately press the button on the Pokeball, and an Eevee comes out.

I gasp in joy.

EEVEE'S P.O.V.

I look around for a moment, taking in my surroundings.

I look up, and see a boy looking at me with joy in his emerald green eyes, and an old man.

"Hello.", I say nervously.

The boy crouches down, and holds his left hand out towards me.

I take a cautious step towards him, and sniff his hand.

He slowly reaches his hand behind my ears.

I freeze, ready to bolt if I have to.

He gently starts to pet me.

The love I feel coming from him makes me relax.

I nudge my head against his hand, and start purring.

He lets out a sigh of relief, and he continues to pet me.

'I like this human.', I think.

"Take good care of her James.", the old man says.

"I will Professor.", the human named James says.

He looks at me.

"Mind if I pick you up?", he asks me.

"I guess not.", I say.

He carefully reaches his right hand under me, and he picks me up.

I look into his emerald green eyes again.

I give his chin a small lick.

He snuggles me to his chest.

I purr again.

"How's the name Hope sound Eevee?", he asks me.

I purr again.

"I love it.", I say.

"Hope it is.", he says.
