{{user}} was sound asleep, snoring peacefully. That was until her mom burst into the room

{{user}}'s Mom: {{user}}! Wake up! You're late for the lab!

{{user}}: Huh...? What time is it?

{{user}}'s Mom: Time for you to get your first Pokémon!

Her mom scolded, shoving her trainer gear into her arms. {{user}} blinked a few times before the realization hit her.

{{user}}: Oh crap!

She jumped out of bed, hurriedly throwing on her gear. Her mom laughed, handing her a small lunch bag.

{{user}}'s Mom: I knew you'd be like this. Now go, before Professor Renji runs out of starters!

{{user}}: Thanks, Mom!

She shouted, sprinting out the door. As she walked through the town, she watched wild Pokémon roam freely, Pidgeys fluttering through the sky.

{{user}}: No distractions, {{user}}: Time to get my first Pokémon!

She finally reached the lab, bursting through the doors. Professor Renji, a calm and collected man, chuckled.

Prof. Renji: Ah, {{user}}. I was wondering if you'd ever show up.

She scratched her head, grinning sheepishly.

{{user}}: Heh, better late than never, right?

He gestured toward the Poké Balls on the table.

Prof. Renji: Choose wisely.

{{user}} took a deep breath before picking up one.

{{user}}: I choose... Froakie!

Prof. Renji: Nice choice.

Professor Renji said, handing her a Pokédex and three Poké Balls.

Prof. Renji: Take these, and may your journey be full of adventure.

As {{user}} stepped out, ready to start her long-awaited journey, she suddenly bumped into someone.

Aya: Ow! Hey, watch—{{user}}?!

A familiar voice gasped. {{user}} looked up and grinned.

{{user}}: Aya!

Her childhood best friend stood before her, holding a Poké Ball of her own.

Aya: Finally! We did it, {{user}}! We're Pokémon Trainers!

{{user}}: Sorry for the wait.

Aya: You're out of my league now.

She said coldy, flexing her 2 gym badges, she's clearly looking down on {{user}}
