Tafton, preferably known as Taft to those closest to him arrived on his gratuation day slightly late. He took his seat quickly, hoping no one had noticed.  His last name, Turrall, had put him close to the end of the queue of students waiting to choose their starter. His class of exactly 100 students sat in an auditorium, and before them was their principal, Dr. Neihof. He stood calmly, waiting for them to calm down. There were still a few minutes left before things would get rolling. Behind him were three large cabinets, each containing a single box for each student, with three pokeballs within personalized to them based on their academic performance, as well as personal preference. They were only allowed to choose one. Alongside each box was a small bag containing a few items to help the students along their journeys. Alas, it was time to get started:

Dr. Neihof went through their names nonchalantly, calling out each and presenting before them their predetermined pokemon, of which each person was only allowed to pick one. A couple of the students before Taft had already gone. A girl he knew named Vera had chosen a Staryu. This wasn't much of a surprise to anyone, everyone knew she wanted to be a water type trainer.

A boy he knew named Carl had also gone, choosing a swinub. Another boy, Pierre, had chosen a snubbull. No surprise, his mom was Valerie, the Laverre city gym leader. There were rumors she was even going to be at the banquet after.

"Tafton Turrall," called Dr. Neihof. From the cabinets he took a box, tossing to the ground three pokeballs. Inside were three pokemon:

Fletchling

Litleo

Electrike

He could only choose one.

Tafton's hands shook as he considered the possibilities for each Pokemon. Fletchling and Litleo were fire types and  huge part of him was leaning toward choosing one of the two. Fletchling was weak against ice types, electric types and rock types. Litleo was weak against water, rock, fighting and ground while Electrike was only weak against ground. -My dream is to be a Gym Leader one day. If I want to do that, don't I have to pick just one type to use? If that's the case then Electrike is out. That leaves Litleo and Fletchling.- The  Litleo looked up at Taft and wagged its tail happily, showing his teeth. The Fletchling was pecking at something on the ground and spread its wings and yawned widely. He took a deep breath to steady his nerves. This was probably one of the most important decisions of his life, after all. After today, nothing would ever be the same. He bent down and offered his hand to the Litleo who sniffed it curiously, searching for treats. Tafton's fingers were trembling when he reached out and petted the fire lion's head. He looked up at Dr. Neihof and cleared his throat, hoping his voice wouldn't crack like a twelve-year-olds'. 
"I choose Litleo."

Dr. Neihof smiled in approval, knowing Tafton's love of fire type pokemon quite well. He handed him a bag with some stuff in it to get him started on his gym leading quest, and gestured for him to return to his seat. The litleo ((who you can gender and nickname!)) followed calmly behind, obedient as can be, already loyal to its new master.

Another boy sitting behind him nodded respectfully at Taft, admiring how well his pokemon already obeyed him. His name was Jake, and his growlithe sat calmly on the floor next to him.

It was just moments later that Dr. Neihof signaled for the students to head outside. There was a giant rush, with everyone making it for the door to get out to the courtyard and test out their pokemon. They ran so fast that Taft didn't have a chance to move. Soon, it was just him in the room with a couple of other people. 

Vera was still there with her staryu, and Carl with his swinub. Pierre, the gym leader's son was also still there with his snubbull. Jake and his growlithe were there, silent as ever. And another girl named Kiki was left. Her last name was Zelx, so she had gone last, and hadn't even had the chance to sit down with her pokemon yet. She had chosen a zigzagoon.

You can talk to these people, or head outside and look for others and see the courtyard. In the next few posts you will be making your 'party.' You can have up to 4 extra people in your party but 3 is usually what people choose. You can stay and try and talk to a couple of these students and see if you like them or not, but remember there's 95 other students outside!

Tafton watched everyone leave in a rush with arched eyebrows to challenge their
friends to their first battles. Taft focused on his Litleo as he pulled him up
into his lap. “Hey, buddy. Guess it’s you and me now. We’re a team.” Warm black
eyes stared into his and Taft
hmmed under
his breath as he studied his first Pokémon, pleased with his choice. Litleo was
a powerful Pokémon and if he could manage to evolve his new friend into a
Pyroar, they would be virtually unstoppable. “But first, what should I call
you? Blaze is overdone. If you were a girl I might name you Sizzle….Oh! How
about Blaine?” The Litleo growled and Taft let out a rare laugh. “Well, don’t
worry, you’ll get used to it. That is, if I don’t think of something better
first.”

He stood up, slinging his bag over his shoulder as he looked around the room, well
aware that he knew no one here and had no desire to. Pokémon Trainers could
travel alone. It was more dangerous that way, but it could be done. Tafton was
most comfortable alone and he wasn’t looking forward to making “friends” by
force. He couldn’t imagine anyone else was falling over themselves to invite
him on their travels, either.
