James was on his way to Littleroot Town when he saw a battle between a Poochyena and a Snorunt. When the battle was over, his interest in Pokémon training had risen, driving him to complete that final leg in his trip. He had arrived at Professor Birch's Lab. "Professor, I've come for my starter Pokémon," called James.
"Excellent," replied the professor as he led James to the lab, "You may choose any of these Pokémon." James was perusing what was available. He came across one that contained a sea weasel Pokémon with a flotation ring around its neck. "I'll pick that one," said James.
"That is a male Buizel from Sinnoh and an impressive one too," replied Prof. Birch, "Here you go and here's your Pokédex and five Poké Balls. Good luck on your journey."
"I'll do my best," replied James.

When James had entered Route 101, he decided to check out what his starter Pokémon was like. "Buizel, the Sea Weasel Pokémon. It swims by rotating its two tails like a screw. When it dives, its flotation sac collapses," said the Pokédex. "I'll name you Blavius," said James. After a while, he noticed a girl with hair the colour of cherry blossoms wearing a dress heading the same way as James was. "Hello there," called James as he ran up to the girl.
