While waiting for the proffesor to arrive Alexander took the time to assess the motley crew which had formed inside the lab. There was ofcourse the purple haired girl who seemed to have an attitude problem. There was the guy who shoved Alexander into the lab. He was not that easy to gauge at first glance. Then there was the idiot who was laughing out loudly in the lab, not the brightest one of the bunch it seemed. Then there was a girl who looked like she tried to connect with her inner Slurpuff, that hair looked atrocious. She also seemed to be rather obsessed with something, or someone. It seemed that way atleast as she was completely lost in thought. The fifth person in the room was a boy with a serious look on his face. He didnt look like he was really taking care of himself with his messy hair and such. Last but not least was a girl almost completly dressed in green, gee what would her favourite colour be? She seemed tensed at this all, wether it was anxiety for her Pokemon or because she was with other people Alexander couldnt see.

Exactly at the moment Alexander had made his first impressions of everyone proffesor Elm walked in. He mentioned that there was still one person missing. Great way to get a positive first impression Alexander thought. Anyway, that wasnt improtant. Elm went on to talk about his work which Alex found quite interesting. He seemed to be very upset about the fact that the wild Pokemon had become so aggressive, and who could blame him? Alex felt the same way. He had heard so many stories about how it used to be... If only there was a way to get back those old days Alex thought. He sighed as Elm stopped talking about his work and asked the group to follow him to the Pokemon.

[b]"Alright then! If you could all form a neat line here, then you can chose the pokemon you want. Chose carefully! This pokemon will likely be your partner for a long time!"[/b]

Well, Alex knew how this was gonna end. If he tried to get there as one of the first he would most likely be pushed aside and end up last anyway, so why not save himself the trouble and let everyone else go first. Sure he wouldnt get first picks but it's not like that would be the end of the world. He had to travel with some, if not all, of these people, no need to cause a problem already.

The first person to get a Pokemon was the guy from earlier, the pushy guy. He walked up very confident to a Pokeball and without hesitation grabbed a... Swinub? Well that was suprising... The guy seemed very happy with his choice. Well good for him.

Second came the green girl. She seemed to be taking her sweet time picking her Pokemon. Alex was suprised to see her pick a Houndour as he had expected her to take a grass-type. Then it bit her and Alex couldnt help but feel sorry for the both of them, the girl because her Pokemon just bit her and the Houndour because it got suddenly embraced by the girl.

Now it was the turn of the guy who seemed to have an intellect rivaled only by garden tools. At first it seemed as if he didnt even notice it was his turn, he seemed so fixated at the lab's equipment and at the girl with the Houndour. After his brain finally decided to wake up the walked up to the Pokeballs and after some "thought" he picked one. A Phanpy came out of the ball and the guy seemed to be so touched by the little fella that he started crying. A smile formed on Alex's face. That guy might seem like he was so dense that light bends around him, atleast he had his hart in the right place.

Next up, the girl who had the Swirlix hair. She seemed to take a rather long time to consider which Pokemon she wanted to take. Then she eventually grabbed a Pokeball and released a... Mareep? Well, what ever floats her boat. She rubbed it against her, cuddling it. She didnt really notice that the static electricity was messing up her hair alittle, but Alex wasnt going to be the one to tell her.

Fifth, the guy who looked like he just stepped out of bed. He walked up to the table and after quickly scanning over the remaining Pokemon seemed to be fairly certain of his choice. He picked a chikorita which seemed very happy to see him. Seeing all these people get along with their Pokemon made Alex feel a little bad towards the girl with the Houndour, who at the moment tried to pet it but the Houndour had other ideas and bit her hand.

Now it was the turn of the last person before Alex, miss center of the universe. She stepped up very confidently towards the table and seemed to be debating about which Pokemon to take. After a short moment she picked up one ball, released the Pokemon and... Ofcourse. Alex sighed, ofcourse the girl would pick a Pokemon who had the same colour as her hair. She seemed pleased with her Nidoran, picked him up and walked over to her chair and set down, the Nidoran resting on her lap.

Well, now it was his turn. He walked over to the table and saw that there was still a decent amount of Pokemon left. One name alsmot instantly caught his eye however and he knew that [b]this[/b] was the Pokemon he wanted. Alex picked up the Pokeball and held it in his hand for a moment. He then activated it and an Eevee appeared infront of him. It seemed to be on the small side, Alex found it funny as it seemed fitting. The Eevee looked around and scratched itself behind it's ear before looking up at Alex with it's big eyes. Alex smilled and sat down next to the Eevee, stroking it over it's little head. He then got something out of his pocket and brought it close to the Eevee. It's tail wiggled around in excitement. Alex opened his hand and there was a small Pokeblock in it. He gave it to the Eevee which immeditly started nibbling on it. Alex knew it for certain, this was going to be his best pal.

Alex got up and looked down at the Eevee who had now finished eating the Pokeblock and was now chasing it's own tail. Yup, he definatly made the right choice.
