Aizawa walked into the classroom, holding a tray of 27 Pokeballs, each holding a different Pokemon for the students to choose from. "Alright everyone, today we'll be doing something special. As aspiring heroes in training, bonding with a Pokemon companion is crucial. That's why I've prepared a selection of starters for each of you to choose from." Bulbasaur, Charmander, Squirtle, Chikorita, Cyndaquil, Totodile, Treecko, Torchic, Mudkip, Turtwig, Chimchar, Piplup, Snivy, Tepig, Oshawott, Chespin, Fennekin, Froakie, Rowlet, Litten, Popplio, Grookey, Scorbunny, Sobble, Sprigatito, Fuecoco and Quaxly were available to be chosen as partners. "You must train them, feed them, bond with them, and love them. They are here to be, not only your dearest companion, but to teach you partnership and responsibilities. Oh, and choose wisely. There are no takebacks, and you will be stuck with this Pokemon for the rest of your life." Aizawa then boosted up the projector, showing pictures and information on all of the Pokemon, making sure they understood what each one was like and capable of before they made their choices.
