Damian slowly opened his eyes and looked at his alarm watch. It was 7 am. "7 am?! I'm late! Profesor Elm is waiting for me!", he thought to himself panickly. He jumped out of his bed quickly went to the bathroom and started to take a shower. Normally Damian wouldn't be in such a hurry. But today was different.

He was getting his first Pokemon!

It took him 2 years to finally convince his parents, that he is old enough to get one! And yesterday they finally agreed! Although getting a Pokemon at the age of 13 is a bit early, Damian was happy that he finally got the chance of getting a real Pokemon. It would be awesome, he just knew it!

A few moments later, he finally got dressed. Damian wore a purple T shirt, a pair of blue trousers and a pair of sunglasses on his red hair. He went downstairs, where he already saw an old, blue haired woman wearing an appron around her pyjama. It was Damian's mother, Helen. When she noticed her son, she smiled. "Morning Honey, did you sleep-" Before she could finish her sentence, Damian ran past her, opened the door and then ran through it while saying: "Morning mum, see ya later!" Helen looked at first surprised, but then laughed genuinely. His reckless behavior may be troublesome at times, while also being clearly amusing to others. "Have fun Damian.", she thought to herself smiling.

Damian drived through the streets of New Bark Town on his bycycle. The city has changed much over the years. There were more appartments, a new supermarket and also a plaza with a fountain. A few minutes later, he arrived at Proffesor Elm' s Laboratory. He stopped his bike before the massive white building, jumped of from his vehicle and entered through a big glass door the laboratory. Inside, he saw many different looking people in lab coats looking working on the computer. But Profesor Elm was nowwhere to be found! "I'd better ask someone.", Damian thought, while playing with his hair. He went to a young woman with orange hair in a white lab coat, who was currently working on her computer. "Excuse me, but have you seen Profesor Elm? I was supossed to meet him here at 7. 20 am.", he asked. The woman turned around and faced Damian. She smiled. "Ah you must be Damian Wilson. The profesor is already expecting you." She pointed at a staircase, heading upstairs. "Go to the first floor please. He'll be there." Damian nodded. "Thanks mam." He went to the staircase and followed it upstairs.

At the end of it, he opened a brown wooden door and entered a small room. It was mostly white, except maybe the windows, which were blue and the brown bookshelves. In the middle of the room was a man with short grey hair, a pair of glasses sitting at a desk. He looked up from his papers and smiled. "Hello, you must be Damian aren't you?", he asked with a tilted head. Damian nodded. "Yes profesor, I came here to get my first pokemon." The profesor' s face shifted into a frown. "Oh right. I almost forgot." Damian looked confused at Elm. "What's wrong?", he asked. The profesor shook his head and stood up. "I'm sorry to tell you this Damian, but I can't give you a pokemon." Damian couldn't believe what he heard . No pokemon for him? "Why? Why can't you give me one?", he asked sadly. Elm looked down. "Yesterday I had the three starter pokemon in this building." He looked up to Damian. "But when I came here, tommorow, there were all gone." He pushed his glasses up. "I'm sorry my boy, but I can't give you one. You have to come back a few weeks later."

Damian was about to cry. It wasn't fair! Why did it always had to be like that? Why couldn't he be happy? "Please profesor! ", Damian begged suddenly with tears in his eyes. "I really want a pokemon! I don't care if it is bad, just please give it to me! I'll take it, no matter what!" The profesor looked to Damian confused. ""You' ll take it, no matter what, you say?", he asked. Damian nodded immensly. "Yes sir, please I' ll take it! I will play with it. I will take care of it. I will love it!" The profesor tapped his chin slowly. "We do have a pokemon.", he started. Damian wiped his tears away and looked up to Elm. "But I don't know if you will like it." Damian shook his head. "I'll take it. Please!" The profesor nodded. "Very well. Follow me please. " He went downstairs and Damian followed him.
