Ashley's journey begins!

[Ashley]

_{Walking up the road that would take her to the Sunnydale Labratory, Ashley pauses a moment to flick a lock of hair out of her eyes. She looks around, taking every detail of the area around her. The cool breeze, the bright sun, the quiet peacefulness that only comes this early in the morning. "Ah, it really is a wonderful day," she says to herself with a smile. Continuing on her way, she notices a white speck far off in the distance.
"That must be the lab!" she concludes. Breaking into a run, she giggles slightly at the thought of getting her first Pokemon, and she manages to trip. Pushing herself back up, she continues on her run as if nothing happened.
Finally, she reaches the lab. "Man, it is WHITE!" she notices gazing at it. After a few moments, she picks up her fist and knocks, waiting anxiously for an answer.}

_{A young woman answers the door. "Hello may I help you?" she asks you kindly. Looking you over, she adds, "I'm guessing that you are a Pokemon trainer, am I correct?"}

_{Ashley smiles at who is apparantly the Professor. "Yes, I am a Pokemon trainer," she answers happily. "And I came here to get a Pokemon, but I'm not quite sure which one to choose... I think I want a Mareep, but could I see some of the Mareep you have first? Like maybe three or five?" she asks hopefully. "Oh, I mean, please, if it's not any trouble," she adds, blushing a crimson red color.}

<sub>Of course it won't be any trouble," the proffesor says, as she smiles sweatly, "come in and relax, while I get the mareep." The professor invites you inside of her lab, and she goes into a back room to get the Pokemon. When she returns, she is carrying five pokeballs. "Okay, here are the Mareep. I'm not sure which ones I brought, so you may not like any of them. If that is the case, then I will go and retrieve more," she adds releasing the Mareep.

The first one is an ordinary Mareep, and as soon as it leaves its ball, it starts pruning itself. When it notices you, it sticks up its nose, as if in disgust. Turning away from you, you can hear it snort its disapproval.
The second one is shiny. It looks up at you with large trusting eyes, and you hear it ytter a soft noise, almost a purr. It walks over to you and sits at your feet, still looking up into your eyes.
The third one is also shiny, but as soon as it sees the other Mareep by you, it runs over and shoves it out of the way. With a smirk it looks up at you, not trusting, but looking for attention.
The fourth is a regular Mareep, and it squeels as soon as it lays eyes upon you. It hurriedly flees into a corner, and looks out fearfully. A few sparks can be seen leaving its body as it shivers.
The final one is a regular Mareep and it looks straight at you playfully. It leaps about you, laughing in the way that only a Mareep can. Every once in a while it looks at you, as if asking you to play with it.

"Okay, which one do you want?" the professor asks, smiling once again. "Its up to you, but choose wisely because your first Pokemon is extremely special."</sub>

_{Ashley looks at each Pokemon lovingly for a moment or two. She gives the Mareep that shoved the other out of the way a brief angry glare before smiling and petting it. She then reaches over and pets the other one as well. Next she walks calmly over to the one that had hid and talks to it soothingly. She doesn't spare a glance at the vain, selfish one, but instead walks over to the playful one and plays around with it.
After a while, when she is tired out, she stands back up, combs her hair (which had gotten messed up while playing) with her hand, and looks to the professor. "I know which one I want!" Ashley cries happily. She quickly walks over and picks up the one that had looked at her so trustingly. "This one, please!" she adds, a huge and warm smile covering her face.}

<sub>"Okay, if you're sure," the professor says returning the other mareep and handing you the chosen one's ball and a starter pack. "Good luck on your journey!"

_{Still carrying the Mareep, Ashley takes its ball and her starter pack. "Hmm, I think that I will call you Serina!" Ashley says to her new Pokemon, gazing at it lovingly. Serina gazes back, the same expression showing. "thank you so much," Ashley adds walking out the door, onto her brand new beggining as a Pokemon trainer.}
