It was a looooooong boat ride from Sinnoh to Varaia. Diana was exhausted from the whole experience as she trudged through Dust town. She had met a nice girl on the boat who told her she was going to get her first pokemon too, but they got separated at the port and promised to meet in Dust later.
Which brings us to where she was now, in front of the Lab. Diana stared at the door for a few minutes, debating with herself on whether to go in or not, and decided a nap was in order.
"I`ll just wait for my friend, I need some shut eye." She said, leaning against the door frame and sinking to her rump, nodding off while she waited for her companion.

Oh, oh, oh.... She didn't like this. She really didn't like this! How had she managed to get separated from Diana on the boat? Diana knew she was horrible with directions! Oh... Oh, well. Luna sighed and lifted the end of her pony tail, playing distractedly with the bauble on it as she looked around the unfamiliar town. Luckily, they had agreed to meet at the starting lab if anything happened to separate them, but where was that?
The girl stood for several minutes, simply looking around blankly. That is, until someone who meant well walked up to her.
"Are you lost, little girl?" the kind woman asked, not realizing that she'd hit a nerve in the not so little girl. She was twenty! An adult! But she looked no older than a young teen, and she was well aware of that. The woman was not, though, so she bit back her annoyance and nodded.
"Do you k-k-know where the lab-b is, ma'am?" she asked softly, and was quickly pointed in the right direction. She thanked the woman, then moved off, relief filling her when she saw her friend slouching in the door of an impressive looking building. "Diana!"

Diana snapped out of her sleep when Luna called out and approached her, and the girl was instantly awake as she struggled to get up. "Luna! I`m so glad to see you're ok! Hope the trip to reunion wasn't too bad. Let's go on in, I`m itching to get my first pokemon." She said with a smile as she opened the door. The two girls walked in and tentatively looked around until they heard a voice. "Back here!" It said. Diana smirked and followed the voice with Luna close by, and they came to the back room, where Professor Conifer was sitting at a desk against a wall. In the middle of the room, a large podium stood with 9 pokeballs on it. The woman got up from her desk and smiled at the newcomers, walking to the podium and opening 6 of the 9 pokeballs. "Welcome! I`m Professor Conifer. Let's cut the small talk and get right to the fun part. Now then, you may choose any of these pokemon. Trainers get one and coordinators and breeders get two. These pokeballs here," she said, tapping the three unopened pokeballs. "Are mystery pokemon. They were commanded by their breeder, my supplier, to bond to the first person who opens their pokeball. Once you open it, you are stuck with it. Choose carefully." She said. Diana thought hard about the pokemon in front and looked at Luna, smirking. "You go first." She said as she continued to think.

The relief that flooded through Luna when she met up with her own traveling partner once again was indescribable. She nearly bounced as she ran to catch up with her in the doorway. "I got lost. Again. And got called a little girl. Again. Can you believe it? I'm not that young!" Luna grumbled and complained, following Diana into the lab. It was really only around this woman that she talked this openly, so when the professor's voice rang out, Luna quickly quieted again. At least the professor recognized that there was no need to go through the whole spiel about welcome to the pokemon world.
So when she gestured for them to pick their pokemon, and Diana nodded for her to choose first, Luna simply nodded and stepped forward.
"I am a coordinator," she murmured to their host, looking over all of the specimens presented. While they were all wonderful looking, none of them really caught her eye.
"Well," she muttered finally. "This is supposed to be an adventure. Let's start it out as one." So she reached out and picked up two of the closed balls, tossing them out to see what would come of them.

From the pokeballs, bright lights emerged and took shape on the floor. Professor Conifer's eyes opened wide as the light faded, and the two pokemon stared up at Luna. One was of a bluish color, and it looked less than impressed with the situation it was it. "Purr." It said, sauntering over and curling up at Luna's feet. She'd do very nicely. The orange pokemon that came out with it was more friendly as it slowly crawled over to Luna, nuzzling her legs. "Nee?" It said, looking up at her with big eyes. Professor Conifer stared wide at the pokemon as Diana smiled. "Well I`ll be, a shiny purrloin AND a shiny cottonee. Gash." She said as Diana patted her friend's shoulder. "My turn, let's hope I get lucky too huh?" She said as she grabbed the last mystery pokeball. She gripped it tightly and gave a smirk, tossing it up into the air. "Come on out, whoever you are!" She said as the ball opened. A huge white light erupted from the ball and settled in front of the podium, taking shape. If Conifer's eyes weren't wide before, they certainly were now, as the light faded and revealed a large blue and silver shape. Diana's eyes were wide at she stared into it's crimson eyes, and for a moment human and pokemon were silent, locking onto each other. Suddenly, the pokemon kneeled, readying itself for something. "DIIIIIIIIIIIIIIAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLGA!" It said, leaping towards Diana and knocking her over. The dialga's tail wagged as it licked her from head to toe, obviously happy to see her, and Diana momentarily forgot that it was a legendary pokemon. "Ack! Get off of me you moron! You are crushing me!" She snapped. The dialga did as she asked and crawled off of her, sitting it's hindquarters down and smiling at her in a goofy fashion, it's tongue lolling out. Diana stood up and shook herself off, staring at the Dialga with a gulp. She thought carefully for a moment before making a decision, lifting her head. "Well, you'll need a name, you certainly don't ACT like what a dialga should. I shall call you Diaruga, Ruru for short." She said to it. Diaruga barked and laid down, nuzzling his new trainer affectionately, obviously happy with the name.

Luna simply stared. And stared. And stared some more. "I d-d-don't unders-stand," she finally said, looking completely lost with the affections of this two creatures curled around her. She'd seen some of their type before, but never that looked like these two. One shiny she might have been able to keep in stride, but not two. How could anyone possibly produce two shiny pokemon and just give them away? She turned to look at Diana, but realized her friend was a little distracted. It was her turn to see what would come from the ball.
Well, it definitely wasn't like her shinies!
She just wasn't sure if it was better or worse, as the creature barreled into Diana. Suddenly she was grateful for what she had. There was no way she'd be able to deal with being knocked over like that every day.
Her gratefulness manifested itself as she picked up the orange ball of fluff and held it close, choosing not to disturb the black cat at her feet. "You won't bowl me over like that, will you Balu?" she asked the fluffy creature in her arms, who simply squee'd and nuzzled in close. "And you, Bahgera?" The cat simply twitched her tail. So Luna chuckled and glanced up at the professor. "Thank you very much, Ma'am."

Eon closed her took a deep breath, allowing her bangs to fall over her face. This would be the day she finally started her pokemon journey. Her brother had already started his and continuously sent her letters and calls asking when she would start hers. She picked her head back up, opening her eyes and brushing the hair back out of her face. "Come on. This is no time to be nervous! If he can do it so can you!" Eon said to herself, her hands clenching into fists at her sides. She shook her head in an attempt to clear her thoughts and calm herself down. With that she started towards the building she knew to be Dust towns pokemon lab.
Knock knock "Hey uhm Professor? You home?" Eon asked as she knocked on the lab door. Taking a step back she waited to see if anyone would answer. "Wonder what kinda pokemon she has....Oh I hope they are cute!" she thought aloud, thinking of her older sisters furret back home.

Her work wasn't done yet, it seemed. As soon as the Professor sat down in her chair and swung around, another kid was rapping at the door. Sighing, but still managing to get up, stroll over, and answer the call with a smile, Conifer motioned for Eon to go ahead and enter the room.
"Now now, don't be shy. You already know the basics, yes?" she asked, nodding to herself before waiting for an answer. "Here are six starters that a friend of mine have sent me for trainers of all sorts to take with them on their journey. Trainers may take one, and breeders and coordinators may take two. Unfortunately, I'm out of mystery balls today, but these pokemon here would still make fine companions. After you've chosen, you can take a Pokedex, bag, and some items and be on your way!"

"Alright so I get to choose one then" Eon said half to herself, looking over the pokemon in front of her. One pokemon in particular caught her eye. The charmander. Leaning down so she was near eye level with the fire pokemon, she called it over. Still keeping one eye on her other options, Eon began to stroke the charmanders head. "We are going to have so much fun together" she said, her full attention now on the fire pokemon.
"Professor, I would like this one, please" Eon said, turning to face Professor Conifer, one hand still on the charmanders head as she continued to pet it with her fingers.

"Good choice. That one looks like a fighter" she exclaimed, nodding and patting the girl's shoulder as the Charmander skipped over to Eon, beaming.

Eon, beaming with happiness as well, leaned back down so she was once again near eye level with the charmander. "Hey there, my name is Eon. How about I call you Aleygro? It's more original than just charmander, huh?" she said, her blue eyes flashing with excitement.
"Char-Charmander!" Aleygro replied happily to his name, puffing out his chest slightly and his tail swaying behind him.
Standing back up again Eon looked over to where there were some pokedexes and bags laid out. "Hmm I guess I'll take this white pokedex and this over-the-shoulder-messenger bag. Thanks for everything professor" Eon said with a slight bow. With that she started out of the lab, Aleygro right behind her, and off towards route 801 to start her official pokemon journey.
