At home: You are excited about being a trainer but you are with your sister who turn then while you are already twelve. Then your sister went out first, then followed by you.
EP 1: As soon as you reach a patch of grass, a bird pokemon will appear. (for me in the comic is a fakemon called Beakei) That time your rival will come and knock it out. Then your rival will take you all the way to the lab. You'll pick your starter. The first rival battle won't be set in the lab but set in the route where your rival saved you. It'll be located in the middle of the route. After you knock your rival down, GROWSLO appears, but it was fighting an infernape used by a person from a gang called Team Forest. However, the infernape hit a substitution of GROWSLO. Then comes EP 2.
