Location: Your Apartment, Nix City
Of course! If you're to go on an adventure, you'll meet a lot of Pokémon on the way. You might not know everything, but starting from identifying what kind of Pokémon you can find on the road ahead has always been a smart choice for both newbie and experienced Trainers alike. You switch the channel in advance as a man in camouflaged attire greets you, "Howdy there, Trainers! Welcome back to another episode of...uh..." He paused a bit before continuing, "A-anyway! What's your first thought the time you see snow? Many people think they're just white and cold. But for us Pokémon Trainers, this simply means Pokémon!
...tsk."
He spins himself awkwardly as the screen slides to the right, showing you live videos of various Pokémon in three different locations nearby. You can see a pale blue, nine-tailed fox howling at the sun from a high altitude on a snow-covered clearing of a mountain known as Mt. Rokk, and a Seismitoad chasing after a terrified fisherman, with the Pokémon whipping out the fishing rod like a bullwhip inside a series of swampy puddle of water known as the Gonji Lakes. The third one shows a forest filled with even more variety, but the scene is cut short when suddenly the screen goes on to show an opening graphic of a breaking news program.
"Attention, citizens of Raoga. Earlier, a mysterious beam of light conjured forth onto the skies above, from the remnants of the former capital city Volmia and also enveloping it. History has recorded of its grievous past, though it appears that the divided lands were raised by an unknown force, lifting the entire city above as if it was a floating island. The vicinity were unaffected by this strange phenomenon, though the carriage leaves a big crater on the ground. That is all, we will return to our scheduled broadcast shortly."
You're not sure what to make of from what was said just now, but either way, you've waited long enough to see the sun through the window. You turn off the TV, have a quick warm bath, get dressed, and make yourself a breakfast. You reach for the door to leave your room, then you enter inside the elevator, gently moving downwards as you wait. When the glass door opens, you hurry to the next block and enter the lab where the professor greets you with a smile.
"Hmm, you're quick." He smiled, "I think that's just natural. Here, I have placed three Poké Balls containing three different Pokémon that will aid you in your journey. What lies inside is a mystery till you open it."
"Now then, which one will you choose?"
- "The one in the left."
- "The one in the middle."
- "The one in the right."
- "This is so disappointingly basic! Give me something else instead!"
