Hello =) Just wanted to get a sense of how the section works. Critique and Rate out of 10 please. Thank you and enjoy.
Chapter 1~ The Beginning
Matt had awoken from a nearly sleepless night. He couldn't stand still. His nerves buzzed with excitement and his hair, on-end. There was one simple reason for his lack of sleep and energy filled night; he was going to receive his first Pokemon.
His alarm clock rang but he had already been up cooking breakfast an hour earlier. The sun was shining through the window, leaving a gorgeous yellow light glimmering in the kitchen. Matt loved the world of Pokemon training and today, he would be apart of it. His mission was to become a successful trainer and to defeat anyone that came between him and his goals. He nearly choked eating his scrambled eggs because of his rush but he didn't mind. A sip of water and a rinse of his plate and before you could notice, he was out the door, sprinting towards Professor Oak's Lab.
His small physique came in handy for quick, short distances but he had already tired himself out half way there. His black, luscious hair soared above his head but his fierce blue eyes were determined to keep running. He suddenly stopped and checked his pulse. It was a relatively high count but he knew he could continue for a bit before needing to rest. He pushed his way through branches and leaves and leaped over bushes, not caring for the minor scratches they've caused.
Finally making it out of the forest, a split road lay in front of him. He automatically took the left path, knowing it would lead him directly to the Lab. His pace slowed to a walk and he caught his breath. While doing so, he peered around him for a quick glance. Spearow flocked in trees, cawing and screeching. Pidgey soaring in the clouds. Even a Rattata popped out and ran across the woods. Life in his town was filled with Pokemon, and he absolutely adored it. He had already decided which starter Pokemon he would choose. It wasn't hard for him at all. The moment he saw that flickering flame on the end of his tail, he knew that Charmander had to be his.
This was it. He stood in front of the large, glass doors. He was about to pick his Pokemon and start his journey throughout this land. He slowly pushed the door to be welcomed by Professor Oak. He quickly directed Matt to the counter where 2 Pokeballs lay. Professor Oak turned to Matt and told him politely that he could choose one of the 2 Pokeballs. It was tradition to have 3 starters to choose from. Professor informed him that just a second before Matt arrived, a young female trainer named May had come and picked up her starter. She had chosen the same Charmander Matt adored and wanted. His heart sank. His eyes teared up and he frowned at the Professor, stating how he really needed a Charmander. Professor pondered for a second and came to a conclusion.
Oak told Matt to follow him into the back. Matt willingly agreed but didn't lighten up at all. Oak navigated him through boxes and crates and into a small incubation room. Matt had never seen and Pokemon egg before and was, for a split second, amazed. Oak lifted the glass above the 3 eggs and picked one up in his arms. The bright, thick orange stripes glowed ever so slightly. "Matt. It seems that you really do care about the choice of your Pokemon. And for your sincerity and trust, I want to present you with a Charmander egg. It will hatch in nearly an hour but it must be kept warm. I want to entrust you with this Charmander and would hope that you accept my offer."
Matt didn't have to think twice. He took off the down vest he was wearing and motioned for the Professor to place it inside. He did so in a gentle manner and as he did, Matt teared up again. This time, he was content and happy for the generous offer that Oak had presented him with. A tear of joy, happiness and honour streaked down Matt's face and landed directly on the egg. It glowed a tiny bit more and continued to glow. "Thank you dearly Professor. I won't let you down!"
Before leaving, Professor also gave him a PokeDex and instructed him on how to use it. A set of 5 empty PokeBalls and a potion was also handed to him by an associate worker. He thanked everyone again and started off for home.
