Another Day, Another Trainer

[Jacklyn / Joshua]

Sunrays glowed brightly that spring day, breaking through the aqua blue sky and lighting the land. It was quite warm now, for mid day was already fast approaching. It was lovely. Branches of nearby trees swayed in the gently blowing breeze and two beautifly felw playfully about in an airborn dance. Walking prominently down the dirt path, a figure appeared through the dust. He sported a brown bandana over his ivory white hair. The boy's eye's glowed a light violet hue. His arms hung by his sides and his hands were relaxed, yet covered in dirt as if he'd been digging. Joshua remembered the morning vividly. He had woken up early as he did every day, except this time he wouldn't be helping to plant the seeds. Joshua had taken his own special seed, one that he had kept for five months in waiting for this day. The trainer had planted the seed of an oak in the front of their house. It was like a symbol of himself growing on his journey, but it was more of something for his family to remember him by. Joshua stopped as he reached the front doors of the lab. He had dreamed of this moment for a long time. All he really wanted was his own chikorita. Grass pokemon were Joshua's calling and he knew it.

Walking up to the doors, Joshua beat his clenched fist against the metal and called out to anyone inside. "Hello? I've come to get a starter pokemon! Is anyone home?"

((By the way, I want him to get a smeargle instead of a chikorita.))

[Professor Gravon]

(Ooc: Shiny, dark or regular smeargle?)

The metal doors slid open! The presence of doom and gloom filled the Dark Kantex Regional Laboratory. A bunch of pokemon cowered behind a turned over table. A starters pack table was near the door offering beginner trainers to take one.

[Jacklyn / Joshua]

((Shiny Smeargle.))

Joshua heard small wimpers and turned his gaze over to the overturned table and cowering pokemon. He approached the group and kneeled beside them. He had nticed the starter pack table, but ignored it for now. He decided to just pick one up after he got his pokemon. Reaching into his pocket, Joshua grabbed a small bag of pokemon food that he'd been hoping to give to his partner. 'I guess this is a better use for it anyway.' He thought.

"Why are you guys so afraid?" He asked while extending his hand to offer the food to them.

[Professor Gravon]

Among rainbow, shiny, dark and regular pokemon stood a shiny smeargle. A dark natu piped up.
<There's an evil man in here torturing and experimenting on pokemon! Please help!>

[Jacklyn / Joshua]

Joshua looked from one pokemon to the next, seeing their frightened expressions. He now felt like a bomb had been dropped on his day. It had started out so great too. The trainer pushed aside his selfish thoughts and focused again on the cowering creatures before him. Now that he thought about it, the lab did look more sinister and foreboding.

"Who's been experimenting on pokemon? What does he look like? Where is he?" The questions spilled out of Joshua's mouth. He needed a bit more information before he could go running into a lab where some maniac was torturing pokemon.

[Professor Gravon]

The shiny smeargle piped up.
<If you want to find him, I know where to get to his secret lab!> It said. <But first, it might be wise to find those other trainers that ran off somewhere in hear...> It trailed off.
It stood up boldly and grabbed a pokeball.
<Grab a starters pack and I'll lead you to the trainers. They're not far!>

[Jacklyn / Joshua]

Joshua stared at the shiny smeargle for a moment, then snapped back to his senses and grabbed a starter pack as he was told to. He had no idea that there were other trainers already inside the mysterious lab. Standing back up, the boy gave the lab one last overlook then turned to the smeargle.

"Alright," He said, "Lead the way!" Joshua hadn't the faintest clue of what he was getting himself into, however, he wouldn't leave pokemon trapped inside a lab with only a future of being tortured.

<Ok! Now that you own me, lets go off!>
