Since Danny didn't have a favorite starter, he just choose the one he had in the first Pokemon game he ever played. As soon as he picked up the Pokeball, Prof Oak spoke "Ah yes Squirtle, a fine Pokemon from my own region of Kano." Of course Danny wanted to see his new partner as soon as possible, so he let the turtle out of his ball. Squirtle was looking around Oak's lab excited;y for his new trainer. "So little guy want to explore this world with me?" Danny asked. The Pokemon responded by grabbing onto his pants and trying to drag him out the door. "I'll take that as a yes."
