**EDIT** I'm now having someone read through my story before i post it, so as soon as they're done chapters 4 and 5 should be up! anyone else who wants to help me proof read please PM me.
Chapter 1
Tomorrow was the day! Ella was excited and nervous about getting her first Pokémon and woke up very early at 6am. She tried to fix breakfast but couldn't eat anything.
"It's almost time!" she whispered and jumped up and down.
Ever since she moved to pallet Elle hated being there. The local kids were really mean and she didn't really have any friends although there were a couple of kids that weren't that awful. The reason her parents moved here was for her and her brother to go to the local secondary school which has an exceptional Pokémon programme and she was starting TOMORROW.
The very best thing about pallet town is that Professor Oak lives right around the corner, and Elle volunteers at his lab pretty much every day. Elle loves working with the Pokémon so much she almost liked Pallet Town.
Even though it was only 6.30am Elle decided to go to Professor Oak's Lab and see if anyone was around, leaving a note for her family on the fridge.
"Couldn't sleep?" said one of the aids. Elle smiled. "He's out in the field, you're in for a real treat today!" "Thank you!" Elle yelled as she ran outside.
Elle stopped dead at the sight that greeted her. There were HUNDREDS of Bulbasaur, Squirtle and Charmander! Elle gathered herself and yelled "PROFESSOR OAK!"
Professor Oak came strolling out and waving
"You're up early!"
"I know, I couldn't sleep.
"Are these the starter Pokémon for tomorrow?"
"Absolutely! In fact I shouldn't really let you be here…"
"Oh I promise I'll be good, I won't disturb them or bug them or…"
"It's alright Elle, I know you're responsible and I trust you."
"Thank you sir. Why are there so many?"
"Well there are 298 students starting at your new school tomorrow, and we always get in an even number of Bulbasaur, Charmander and Squirtle for the new students. We have 100 of each Pokémon."
"… Wow"
"OK! It's time for the Pokémon to eat, come with me and I'll get my aide and we'll feed all the Pokémon"
Elle and Professor Oak and his aide (called John) spent the next few hours making sure every Pokémon had eaten as much as possible, and had a chance to run around outside of their pokeballs. This was quite possibly the very best day of Elle's life! She essentially spent the day taking care of the Pokémon that would eventually be hers. She lost all her anxiety about what Pokémon she would get because she saw how wonderful they all were, and she just felt so lucky that tomorrow she would get her first Pokémon!
When it got to dinner time (she ate her lunch with the Pokémon), she and professor oak started to return all the Pokémon to their pokeballs. This all happened pretty quickly except that they ended up with 100 Bulbasaur, 100 Charmander and 99 Squirtle!
"Well that's odd" said professor oak. You take a look around and I'll call and make sure we really got 300 Pokémon.
"Aren't you worried that the Squirtle has escaped?"
"Oh no, nothing like that this whole place is surrounded by fences and there's no way the Pokémon could've gotten out. More that likely it's fallen asleep somewhere or is hiding, or that we only got sent 99 Squirtle. You can just take a look around, and I'll call the breeder and check how many Pokémon we were sent."
So Elle walked around the fence to check it was ok, and as she was walking she noticed a large pond where some of the Pokémon had been playing and there in the weeds was a Squirtle hiding in its shell.
"Hello Squirtle, you can come out now it's just you and me and it's time to go back into your pokeball" Elle said soothingly crouching down.
The Squirtle poked its head out of its shell a tiny bit.
"Are you hungry? I've got some yummy Pokémon food here" Elle approached the Squirtle slowly holding out some Pokémon food.
The Squirtle came all the way out of its shell and came slowly towards Elle, while she was holding out the food and then quickly ate all of it.
"Wow you sure were hungry! You want some more?"
Elle emptied all the food she had onto the ground by the Pokémon, and it ate the lot!
"You a bit better now? OK you need to come with me back to your pokeball now!
Elle held out her arms and the Pokémon jumped into them and they walked back to the Lab. While she was walking Elle noticed that this Squirtle was a little smaller than the others and decided it must have been too shy to come out, or maybe bullied by the bigger Squirtle. She also thought about some of the kids she knew and how they might be mean to this little shy Squirtle. When Elle and Squirtle got back to the Lab she decided to speak to Professor Oak.
"Professor Oak, I found the Squirtle"
"Well done Elle! Well you'd better get back for dinner!
"Wait, professor oak can I talk to you about this Squirtle before I go?
"Certainly, what is the problem?"
"well, this Squirtle is pretty small and shy and I'm worried that if someone else gets it as their first Pokémon they will be disappointed or mean to it, so I was wondering if you could tell the people at the school that this could be my Pokémon, so that it could be with someone that really likes it" (said very fast)
"Well Elle, that's very sweet, but I'm afraid it's not that simple. Because there are so many students at Pokémon tech, in order to decide who gets to chose their Pokémon first they have an exam, and then students get to choose which starter Pokémon they want. So I can't just give you this Pokémon because other children may get to chose before you."
"Oh I see I didn't know that…………. Well then, would you be able to give out the other 99 Squirtle first and keep this one for last unless I ask for it? That way I'm not really getting an advantage and this Squirtle still gets a good partner"
"Well Elle, that does sound reasonable, but I'll have to speak to the school and make sure it's ok. I know you're a good girl so I'm sure you'll do well at the test tomorrow. Anyway you had a good day today right?"
"Oh absolutely! Before today I thought I wanted a Charmander, but then when I was being with the Pokémon today I realised that I'd be happy with any Pokémon and then meeting this Squirtle I wanted it. It's been a crazy day!"
"Well Elle you'd better get home for dinner your mother"
"Yes sir, see you tomorrow!" She starts to leave.
"UM ELLE!"
She turns around
"I'll need the Squirtle back for now"
"OH! Sorry" She hands back the Squirtle and leaves smiling.
Elle went home and told her Mum, Dad and little brother all about her day but didn't tell them about her conversation with professor Oak, in case it didn't work out.
