After getting changed, organizing his supplies and having breakfast, Kieran checked the time - it was 7:15 am. Good, he would get the best of the morning on his first day. His parents were at work, but they already knew he would be leaving today - and he might see them at the lab anyway. Kieran threw on his bag, slipped his trainers on and left the house.
It was a nice little five minute walk form his house to the lab. The road was by a number of nice houses, and Kieran could see the beach not too far off either. Luckily, it wasn't as busy as it usually was because it was still pretty early. Upon approaching the lab entrance, Kieran remembered that Professor Oak was filling in for Prof. Kirin - this thought made him jump with exitement. What would he be like in person?
Kieran entered the lab as he always did and walked a little into the building. There, he was stopped by the said professor, who, as usual, had a smile on his face, "Good morning. And you are?"
"Oh, hi! I'm Kieran Maveric, my parents work here."
"Ah yes I've been hearing about you from your parents, and they told me you'd be coming," Oak gestured to one of the doors nearby, and when Kieran looked through it, he saw his dad working away at a desk. His dad saw him, and he waved. Kieran waved back, releasing a small grin on his face.
"Now follow me, here's the best bit..."
Oak led Kieran into a room with many pokemon contained within 'cases' as such. He looked in awe as he saw such things as a Totodile, a Nidoran... he could even see a Scyther!
"Now on you go and pick your first pokemon," Oak said, "choose carefully, as once you make the choice there's no changing..."
"Kay!" Kieran said enthusiastically. He walked along the room, seeing what was on offer. There were so many to choose from! He only glanced at the weak pokemon like Caterpie or Pidgey, but he gawped at things like Charmander and Elekid - seeing an Onix in a huge container caused Kieran to pause and stare.
After seeing all of the pokemon on offer, Kieran caught sight of something that he missed before, "Woooaa..." he gasped. It was a rocky looking pokemon who, with it's horn, resembled a rhino. He knelled down at it's container to get a glimpse of it's face. The pokemon stared back, not really caring. "This one!" Kieran said to the professor, who aproached him.
"Hmm... a Rhyhorn. Are you sure?" Oak said with a slight tone of seriousness to his voice, "Not only is it known for being wreckless, but it takes a long time to raise." he continued. Kieran looked again at Rhyhorn. This time it looked back at him aswell. From looking at it, he could get a feeling of the power it had, and imagined how useful it would be in battle. And the bottom line was that he was it's master, so it had to obey him, no matter what. Kieran stood up and answered the professor, "Yes, I'm sure. Rhyhorn looks too good to pass on."
"Hmm..." Oak said as he opened Rhyhorn's container and retrieved it into it's pokeball, "Y'know, I like your style," he said, "but don't let your judgement of others take control, okay?"
"Sure!" Kieran said extatically as he was handed his new Rhyhorn's pokeball, "No worries!"
Back at the entrance, Oak brought a tray to Kieran, "Now then, take these." He handed five pokeballs to Kieran, who slipped them into a side compartment of his bag,
"...for catching other pokemon of course." He handed him the last item, "Now this is the most important peice of equipment - the Pokedex." Kieran took the red and black device and flipped it open, "this machine not only records data on any pokemon you see or catch, but it also proves your status as a pokemon league trainer!" Kieran looked at the Pokedex in awe, this meant he was now an official Pokemon Trainer!
Outside, Kieran walked along the road towards Pineapple Town's exit. He clutched his newest pokemon in his hand and looked at it, "It's just you and me Rhyhorn!"
