Carl had finished up just in time to hear the boom of Professor Sycamore speaking. He sprinted up out of the Arena to the main crowd. It was soon going to be time for them to get a new friend on the team, and he was excited as ever for this.

[b]"Pip."[/b] Piplup was clearly exhausted from using its power in battle.

[b]"Good job Piplup. You can rest now buddy."[/b] Carl whispered in the crowd.

When it was time Carl rushed into the sanctuary, eager for a new friend. He rushed to the sand pits they were talking about. Gible was dragon and ground, so he would probably be there digging up holes. Carl walked around for a little bit, and stopped to look around. While he stopped he fell a couple inches down, then a couple more, then a foot or so, until his chin was level with the sand.

[b]"Hey, who was t-" Just as he started to speak, a Gibble rose a couple of feet from his eyes, from where he was standing, it looked giant, magnificent. Carl's uncle was a Dragon trainer. Carl was very close to his uncle, and very close to Dragon Pokemon, which caused such a profound love for them. He new how to approach them, treat them, and feed them. He new everything from A-Z.

He slowly stuck his hand out, as to not frighten the Gibble with quick movement.

[color=9e0b0f]"Gib? Gibl?"[/color] Gibble questioned the hand, but then accepted it, and allowed Carl to rub its forehead.

[b]"There we go. Here take one of these."[/b] he handed it a chocolate poke puff. His mom packed a whole case full, just in case.

[b]"Alright Gibble, you wanna come with me?"[/b] Carl handed out a pokeball, hoping Gibblewould accept.

[color=9e0b0f]"Gib!"[/color] Gibble tapped the pokeball with its head, and it entered the pokeball.

[b]Alright![/b] Carl was exited as ever to have a new addition to his team, as well as a new friend to travel with and talk to.

Carl the proceeded out of the sanctuary, thanked the professor, and exited the lab. He waited to see if shay would come out of the lab. She was a great friend, and seemed like a fun person to travel with.
