One day, on your 13th birthday, professor Juniper gives your mother three pokeballs as your gift. She says this is to help you start your Pokémon journey. She does say two things though. Firstly, the starters are incredibly voracious. Secondly, your mother can give you another pokeball after you evolve your Pokémon to its next stage. You look at the options. They are a female Snivy, a female tepig, and a female oshawott. You look them over before making your choice.
