(You choose your gender.) After an incident when you were little, you've been afraid of Pokemon. Despite pokemon being everywhere, your fear never really went away. So you've never had a pokemon, and your friends' pokemon had to be careful around you. Today, you and your friends were out and about. Though they asked you to run some errands. On they way back from said errands, you ran into some roadwork, so you had to take a path through the forest to get back. So you tried to quickly walk through the woods to get back to your friends. But you jumped when you heard some sounds nearby.
