Trudging slowly down the paved pathway, Mathias looked around in wonder at the beauty of Garden Town. He adored the abundance of trees and flowers, taking them all in with a wide grin. This was his kind of town, although it was a pity that he wouldn't be staying.
Eventually finding his way to the Pok?mon Laboratory (After many, many wrong turns), he stopped himself outside the magnificent building's double doors and peered in shyly. It was all so exciting to Mathias. Starting out on an adventure, journeying to this new town and being on the verge of owning his first ever Pok?mon. He only hoped that he wouldn't have to say very much. He was shy around people... although perhaps that was an understatement.
With a deep breath, he braced himself for what was sure to be the most exciting day he'd had in a long while. Raising his hand, he knocked lightly on the glass doors, vaguely wondering why they were'nt automatic. His nervousness spiked up and he began to sweat. He shook his head. He wasn't going to let anything stop him today. The page of this new chapter was turning, and he was riding it all the way.

Professor Daisy was tending to the pots of flowers in the entrance room when she heard a dull tapping. She peered over her shoulder and sat down her Psyduck watering can. A young boy was outside with very untidy hair.
Her receptionist had the day off and that meant Daisy had to walk over to her desk and push the button that made the doors open. "Hey there. I'm Professor Daisy." Of course, without her lab coat on, she probably didn't look it. "I guess you're here for a starter? Got anything in mind?"

Mathias' eyes widened in surprise as he was greeted by the Professor. Professor Daisy Herself! he thought quietly. He hadn't expected to meet anyone so renowned, especially not so early in his journey. He had read all about her in PokeCat Lovers Monthly, one of the more popular magazines back at home.
"W-Wow! It's .. It's n-nice to meet you Professor Daisy," he managed to reply. His distinct shyness made him stuble over words, but he was too excited to withdraw now.
"I've uh ... I've thought about my starter quite.. quite a bit. I was thinking a grass type?" He squeaked out in reply to her question. He looked down shyly. He didn't want to sound demanding, but he had a particular Pok?mon in mind already. "I uh ... I mean, 'sokay if you don't have one but ... I was thinking maybe Bulbasaur?" Out of sheer nervousness he nudged a tiny pebble on the ground in front of him. The pebble was most unimpressed.

Daisy raised a curious eyebrow at the boy. She knew she was beautiful but he was acting as jumpy as a Hopip on a pogo stick. She flicked her hair out of her face and smiled. "Bulbasaur? Sure! Follow me to the Pok?mon Room, please." She walked over to a coat hanger and pulled on her labcoat before leading the way down a hallway.
"Most of the people who come here have no clue what they're looking for. We have a few Bulbasaur so you can get to know each one before making a decision." She hummed a bit before looking over to the boy. "You never told me your name," she purred. She really was enjoying this too much.

Mathias nodded quickly in gratitude and followed Daisy down the hallway. She sure was talkative. Mathias didn't mind. If he kept nodding perhaps he wouldnt have to say much. Making their way down the hallway, Mathias couldn't help but look around in amazement. It was all so exciting! He was literally moments away from seeing his first Pok?mon. He could hardly-
Upon his name being mentioned Mathias was pulled out of his thoughts. His eyes shot down at the floor. He wasn't asked things often. "I uh ... My Name? It's Mat- .. Mathias. " He looked over at the professor nervously, "Mathias Gardenia." He looked ahead hoping to catch a glimpse of the Pok?mon Room as they approached it.

Daisy didn't really care what the boy's name was and just enjoyed seeing him squirm. They arrived at the Pok?mon Room and Daisy held open the door. It was surprisingly calm inside as it was just nearing naptime. Lab assisstants watched over the young Pok?mon who were sitting in groups and talking.
"There's a Bulbasaur over there," she pointed to a rather grumpy looking one who was sitting by himself. "Then there's the trio of them by the rocking chair." One was much smaller than the other two but made up for her small size by being very loud. The other two looked to be trying to ignore the runt but failing.
Daisy swept her arms and ushured Michael, erm, Mathias in. "Feel free to take as long as you'd like in getting to know them." She said down in a nearby chair and a Pichu jumped into her lap.

As the Professor took her seat, Mathias took a few nervous steps into the rather peaceful Pok?mon Room. Although she'd said to take as long as he liked, he didn't want to hold her up too long. But then ... It was such an important decision to make. Not one that he could hurry along in any way.
Glancing over his shoulder nervously at the professor, he made his way over to the Bulbasaur, trying to relax and calm himself down. His fear of group situations made him avoid the trio of bulbasaur altogether, and he headed straight for the lone grumpy looking Bulbasaur Professor Daisy had pointed to first.
The Bulbasaur looked at him in contempt before turning away with a huff. Mathias half grinned to himself. The poor little guy looked like a bit of a loner ... something he could relate to himself. Keeping in mind how he himself usually reacted to people, he squatted down next to the Bulbasaur and smiled calmly at it. "Hey There", he said quietly, extending his hand out to the Bulbasaur, as if to shake hands. The Bulbasaur looked at him from the corner of its eye for a moment, and then slowly turned to face him. It seemed much calmer now that someone was trying to talk to it normally. It stared at Mathias' hand in dismay however, as if unsure of what to do...
With a devious grin, the Bulbasaur opened its mouth slowly... and then clamped it down on Mathias's hand in a playful bite. Mathias fell backwards in surprise. The Bulbasaur laughed cheerily in response. It then bounced over to Mathias' face and licked his cheek gently, as if to show he was just playing.
Sitting up quickly, Mathias looked down at the little guy in surprise. He sure was playful for such a grumpy looking thing. "So, how about it?" Mathias asked it a bit nervously, "Do you wanna er... come with me?" The Bulbadaur shot a quick look over at the trio of Bulbasaur, before looking back at Mathias and nodding slowly.
A wide grin spread of Mathias' face. He'd done it! He'd picked his first Pok?mon! With an excited look on his face he ran back over to the Professor and informed her of his choice. "I'd like that one," he proclaimed confidently, gesturing over towards the lone Bulbasaur, currently making a face at the other three Bulbasaur while they weren't watching.
