Alice slipped into the Pallet Town Pokemon Lab just as Professor Oak started speaking about a mysterious new Pokemon. She had rushed to the small town as fast as she could. On her way to the lab she had noticed scorch marks, puddles of water and frozen patches of ground. The whole area outside the lab was a mess. She hadn't had time to look too closely though. She was already very late!
A group of teenagers were huddled around the Professor, and Alice joined the back of the group silently, hoping her late entrance wasn't too obvious. Alice had opted to fly to Kanto from her home town of Ambrette City in Kalos. Unfortunately, heavy fog had made take off from the nearby airport in such a small plane impossible for over four hours. She knew she should have gotten the train to Lumiose and departed from there instead. But oh well, she was here now and that's what mattered.
Alice could hardly believe she was in the same room with the esteemed Pokemon Professor. She wanted to introduce herself so badly, but she also didn't want to emphasise her lateness. Professor Oak had always been an idol of hers and one day she hoped to be a Professor herself. While the Professor spoke, Alice looked around at the small group of teenagers. With slight panic, she realised that most of them already seemed to have their starter Pokemon. Bulbasaur, Charmander and Squirtle were all present. She smiled to herself as she noticed their different personalities, even amongst the same species. She hoped that there was still a Pokemon left for her.
As the Professor continued to speak, Alice finally understood what must have happened earlier. Some Pokemon had escaped from the lab and the new trainers must have helped to find them, but some were still missing. Maybe if she got a starter Pokemon first, she could introduce herself to the Professor, after all... Maybe then he wouldn't notice that she hadn't been around from the start...
Once the Professor instructed the trainers to grab a starter kit, she walked over quietly to the lab assistant.
"Hi, I'm Alice, sorry I'm a little late... But I have this..." Alice spoke quickly when she was nervous. She unfolded the golden ticket she had received in the mail and showed it to the assistant. "Are there any Pokemon left?"
The assistant smiled warmly. "Of course. Don't worry. We've been expecting you, and all the new trainers. Take your pick." With that, the assistant held out a nondescript bag.
Alice sighed with relief. "Thank you so much!" She reached into the bag and felt several round orbs... Pokeballs! She didn't have much experience with them, as all the Pokemon her parents kept at home had never really been captured. Strangely, each orb felt slightly different. She could tell which ones must belong to Charmander and Squirtle due to their temperatures, bit even then, each was slightly variable. Bulbasaur's life force was more subtle and reserved. She didn't hesitate when she felt the calm energy. When she lifted the ball out of the bag, she noticed a small green leaf carved into the front.
"A good choice," said the assistant. "Grass types are generally relaxed and easy to raise. Don't forget these! They'll aid you on your journey."

"Oh, thank you!" Alice grabbed the offered kit which seemed to contain a couple of notebooks and some Pokeballs and potions. She placed the PokeDex into her jacket pocket and straightened her skirt.
She then released her new Bulbasaur. The little green dinosaur looked up at her rather suspiciously at first. She bent down to its level and began to rub it behind the ears. "Hi there, little one! I'm going to be your trainer. I promise I'll do my very best to take care of you."
The Bulbasaur seemed to be warm to her touch and it wasn't long before it was happily rubbing against her palm.
"You're such a cutie!" Alice cried in glee. "I'm going to name you Aster, okay?"
"Saur! Bulbasaur!" Aster grinned, then began sniffing in her jacket pocket.
"I'm sorry, I don't have anything for you right now." Alice laughed, scooping up the curious Bulbasaur. She then walked over to Professor Oak.
"Hello, Professor Oak, it's an honour to meet you. I'm Alice, one of the new trainers. I'd just like to introduce myself and thank you for this opporunity. I love Pokemon and science, and I hope one day to conduct my own research and become a Professor myself."
With that, she headed over the group of other trainers and began to introduce herself and admire their new Pokemon.
((I hope I did this right. xD))
