You wake up bright an early. Today is a very important day since Professor Juniper brought you and your friends a very special present.

"{{user}}. I heard from Professor Juniper that we can have a Pokémon." Cheren says to you in his usual serious tone. ... ... "What's keeping Bianca?" Cheren asks in a somewhat annoyed manner.

Shortly after, Bianca runs into your room. "Am I a little late again? So-oooo-orry!" She says. "Bianca... I've known for ten years that you have no sense of time, but... seriously... Today's the day we can get a Pokémon from Professor Juniper!" Cheren tells her.

"I know. Sorry, {{user}}. Sorry, Cheren." Bianca says to the both of you.

"The Pokémon were delivered to {{user}}'s house, so {{user}} gets first pick." Bianca explains as Cheren responds saying, "Naturally".

"The Pokémon are waiting for us inside that gift box. OK, {{user}}, you go first and take a peek at the gift box. I want to meet the Pokémon right now!" Cheren says, eager to finally receive his first Pokémon.

Will you pick Snivy, Tepig, or Oshawott?

Location: Nuvema Town Party: N/A Badges: 0

"Oh my gosh!" Bianca screams as soon as you take out Oshawott. "It's so cute! I've always wanted one of those." Her face lights up in a huge grin. Cheren, on the other hand, nods with approval before saying to you, "Very smart choice, Jack. Oshawott is an excellent water-type starter Pokémon. Now it's your turn, Bianca. Remember... Snivy or Tepig?"

"Hmm..." Bianca thinks about it for a moment, stroking her cheek with one hand as she eyes Tepig and Snivy curiously. Finally, she points to the little plant pokemon and says, "Snivy!" The leaves on its head tremble slightly in anticipation of becoming Bianca's first Pokémon.

"Alright, Cheren," Professor Juniper prompts you, handing him the remaining pokéball. She beams as he picks one of them up. "Now then... What would you like?" she asks. Her voice is eager and excited for all three of you.

Cheren glances at both Tepig and Snivy for a moment before deciding, "I'll take... the Tepig!" he says with determination. The fire-type puppy Pokémon perks up upon hearing its name. Professor Juniper smiles warmly and hands over the last pokéball to Cheren, sealing his choice.

"Congratulations to all of you! Now that you've each chosen your own Pokémon, let me explain how it works..." The professor says as she pulls out a special notebook and begins explaining the basics of raising and training your new companions. Listening carefully, you take notes on what she has to say so that you can properly care for your own Pokémon as well.

You nod along, paying attention to every word Professor Juniper says. It's important that you know how to take care of your Pokémon properly, especially when they're so young and still growing. The professor finishes her explanation with some advice about starting off on Route 1 for some practice training before heading into the Viridian Forest later on.

"And remember," she adds, "there are other Trainers out there who will be interested in challenging you as well. Be prepared to face them and prove your worth!"

"Excellent," says Professor Juniper. "Now that you've all gotten your Pokémon and learned the basics about taking care of them, I have one more thing for each of you..." She hands out colorful little notebooks to each of you with the word "Pokedex" embossed on the cover. "In here," she explains, "you'll find information on every single Pokémon species in the world! It'll help you keep track of all the different kinds and their abilities."

As you flip through the pages of your new Pokedex, marveling at the vast amount of information it contains, Professor Juniper bids you all farewell. "Good luck on your journey!" she says with a warm smile before turning to walk back inside her lab, leaving you and your friends standing outside on the front steps.

Cheren nods in agreement as he glances down at his Pokedex as well. "This is going to be fun," he says with a grin, gesturing to Oshawott and Tepig to come along as they set off towards Route 1 together. "Let's get some practice in before heading into Viridian Forest!"

Bianca claps her hands excitedly and skips over to you and your Oshawott. "Do you want to walk with me and Snivy, Jack?" she asks eagerly. "We can help each other out on our journey!" Her expression is one of pure innocence and friendship, making it impossible not to smile back at her offer.

What do you say to Bianca's proposal?

"Yay!" Bianca exclaims as she takes your hand, eagerly leading you and Oshawott down the path towards Route 1 alongside her Snivy. "I can't wait to catch lots of Pokémon and be the very best!" Her energy is infectious, causing a small grin to creep onto your face as you follow along behind her excitedly.

After walking for a few minutes, Bianca stops abruptly in front of a group of trees, pointing at one of them with a curious expression on her face. "Look!" she whispers. You peer through the leaves to see a Pokémon hiding among the branches - a Lillipup! It looks cute and harmless... But then again, all Pokémon start out that way, don't they?

Do you want to try catching this Lillipup with Oshawott or should you let Bianca give it a try instead?

"Okay!" Bianca responds excitedly, her eyes shining with determination as she readies herself to catch Lillipup. With a confident nod and a deep breath, she tosses the pokéball forward at the small brown Pokémon, releasing it into the air in a burst of light. "I gotcha!" she cheers triumphantly as the pokéball wobbles for a moment before finally closing around Lillipup with a soft click, signaling that Bianca has caught her first wild Pokémon!

"That's one down... many more to go," she says happily, looking at you and your Oshawott. Her expression turns serious for a moment before returning to its usual bright smile. "Let's keep going on Route 1, Jack. Maybe we'll find some other Pokémon along the way!"

As you and Bianca continue down Route 1 with your new Pokémon companions, the scenery around you begins to change gradually. The trees give way to more open fields dotted with wildflowers, creating a picturesque landscape. Your path eventually leads up to a small hill crowned by a stone statue of an Aipom balanced precariously on one foot. The rocky terrain provides ample hiding spots for any Pokémon that might call this area home.

You hear some rustling in the bushes nearby, and soon enough a curious Lillipup pokes its head out to take a look at you. Its adorable face scrunched up in confusion, the tiny brown puppy slowly approaches you before pausing uncertainly. Should you try catching this Lillipup with Oshawott or let Bianca have another go?

The Lillipup hesitates for a moment before darting towards you, just as the pokéball connects and engulfs it with a flash of light. You catch your first wild Pokémon! Its small body jiggles weakly inside the sphere, clearly exhausted from all that running around. With this impressive capture under your belt, you feel more confident than ever about continuing your journey through Unova as a Trainer.

"Wow, Jack!" Bianca exclaims in surprise. "You're already learning how to catch Pokémon! That's great." She grins and pats you on the back encouragingly before looking around at her surroundings. "Hey, I think there's another Lillipup over there." She points off into the distance towards a patch of tall grass swaying gently in the breeze.

What would you like to do now?

Bianca giggles softly at your words before turning around and leading the way through the tall grass towards the Lillipup. Her steps are slow and careful so as not to scare off the small Pokémon, but it seems that her effort was for naught; after a few moments, a brown furry tail is spotted wiggling among the blades of grass as they draw closer. She grins at you with determination in her eyes.

"Almost there..." she whispers to herself before coming to a stop beside a particularly thick clump of tall grass. "Okay, here goes nothing!" With an excited squeak, she tosses a pokéball at the Lillipup, but it ricochets off harmlessly and rolls away into the underbrush.

"Aw, man! I messed that up..." Bianca says with a pout. "Let me try again." She takes another deep breath before trying once more; this time, her aim is much better, but the Lillipup proves to be too quick for her. It darts out of the way at the last second and disappears back into the grass before she can throw a single pokéball.

"I think it's playing with us!" Bianca giggles, not seeming bothered by the fact that she keeps missing. "Let me try one more time... On three, we'll all charge at it together!"

Bianca jumps back in surprise and lets out an adorable squeak when she sees you. "Jack! You scared me!" She covers her face with her hands, blushing a deep shade of pink. Before either of you can continue your little game, she glances over at the tall grass one more time. Then, with renewed determination, she takes another step back and counts under her breath...

"One... two..." Her voice trails off as she stomps the ground excitedly before finally yelling "...THREE!" All at once, you both charge towards the Lillipup, but it darts out of the way again just in time. Frustrated, Bianca glances back and forth between the tall grass and you, unsure of what to do now. "It's always one step ahead..."

Bianca giggles sheepishly at your comment. "Maybe... I'm just not cut out to be a Pokémon Trainer like you," she says, turning her attention back to the tall grass where the Lillipup is still hiding. She takes a deep breath and squares her shoulders before trying one last time; this time, she throws the pokéball with all her might, aiming for a gap between two blades of grass where it had been sneaking peeks at her earlier.

There's a bright flash as the pokéball connects with its target and engulfs it in light. Bianca gasps softly, not sure if she really caught it until she hears a faint yelp from within the sphere. "I did it!" she exclaims triumphantly, lifting up her newest Pokémon for everyone to see. Her eyes sparkle with pride as she beams at you and Oshawott.

"Really?" Bianca asks with wide eyes. "You really think so?" She blushes deeply again and looks down at her feet, suddenly seeming less sure of herself. But then she squares her shoulders once more and raises her head, a determined expression taking over her features. "Well, in that case... I'll try even harder!" And with that, she sets off toward another nearby patch of tall grass in search of more Lillipup to catch.

Bianca keeps following you and catching Lillipup after Lillipup. She's definitely improving her skills as a Trainer with each attempt. Eventually, she manages to catch her whole team of six, all of them cute and playful little Lillipup. As the last one bounces into its pokéball with a squeak, Bianca lets out a satisfied smile and looks around at the scenery before her.

"Thanks for helping me, Jack," she says sincerely. "I never would've caught so many without you." She glances down at her Pokedex, frowning slightly. "Still, there's a long way to go... and more powerful Pokémon out there to catch." Her eyes widen with determination as she looks up at you once again. "Do you want to travel together?"

The offer hangs in the air between you. You know that Bianca has been nothing but kind and supportive since you met, and it would be nice to have someone by your side as you continue your journey. But... what do you think?
