Chapter Text
The Omni Region.
A man made artificial continent made for the purpose of being home to every pokemon known to man.
And here we find a young man finally of age 18, ready to set off on a journey with a pokemon of his own.
Logan fastened his bag over his shoulder and set off for the Omni Lab, home to Professor Sequoia, the professor overseeing all beginning trainers of the Omni Region.
Logan had been ready for this day for years. Once he had his starting pokemon, he could begin his journey to battle with and understand pokemon better than anyone else.
He had been pondering his starter option for months, and he had decided objectively the best choice for him.
His goal was to battle and understand pokemon. A stronger pokemon would help him reach that goal. Therefor the starter he chooses needs to have a strong evolution with good type coverage.
After much thought, Logan knew his starter choice.
The large doors to the Omni Lab opened upon close proximity and Logan entered.
“Ah, you must be one of the four trainers here for a starter yes?” The professor greeted. They entered with a clean white lab coat and bright smile.
“Yes, ma’am.”
“Well if you’ll just follow me I can take you to the housing center for the starters wherein you can play with the pokemon to see who you bond with.” The Professor began leading Logan to the next room before being interrupted.
“That won’t be necessary. I know my choice.”
The Professor gave Logan a skeptical look. “Are you sure you don’t want to see them first?”
“I am aware of all the starter pokemon. Their types, their evolutions, their battle prowess.” Logan nodded and adjusted his glasses. “I know who I want.”
The Professor paused and sighed. “Alright, follow me.”
They walked into the next room. On one wall was a massive window showing a large nature area with all the starter pokemon running wild.
“You see the one you want?” The Professor opened the door into the nature area.
Logan smiled and nodded before stepping into the area. He spotted his starter immediately.
Upon finding it, he crouched down and smiled.
“I have chosen you to be my starter. You and I will battle, bond, and learn together. Does this sound beneficial to you?”
The torchic blinked and smiled.
“Tor- torchic! Tor!”
“You’ll be needing this.” The Professor walked to Logan’s side and handed him Torchic’s pokeball.
He touched the pokeball to Torchic’s head and in a flash the pokemon was in its ball.
The first step on a journey.
