Today I've finally left home, mother and brother to enbarc on my own Journey. The Ferry just arrived at the port, and so far Seaside villae looks like a nice place. It is late, so I'm going to find some shelter. Luckily an old lady agreed to let me rest in her house - and after a few hours I was off again, in search of the lab. Very nice lady, actually.

It was around evening when I arrived to the double doors, my mind already knowing which Pokemon I desired. A Firecub, a strong male one. The best of the litter. I would not content myself with less.

To my surprise someone else seemed to be around, and I could hear him speak - though not see were he was. And what was all that about the Murkrow Queen? I shrugged it off as the Assistant appeared, letting Lily know exactly what I was looking for. Her Chatot looked scared, so I tried to coax the little one closer, to try and calm it down a bit.

I was presented with three starters, each with their own strenght and weakness. The first was a strong male, but he lacked maneuverability. The second was lithe and agile, but he lacked concentration. Finally the third was wise and cunning, though he lacked strenght. In the end I chose the one in the middle, his lean build being perfect for me. As for his weakness... I will try to compensate and provide my strategies ad will to him. Hopefully this will mold him into the perfect partner I always sought after.

Besides this the skies have been getting darker and darker - almost as if the darkness is sucking the light away little by little. Even Leiro (my new Firecub) seemed troubled by this, and his flames looked dimmer than usual - regardless of his excellent health. I have a feeling that whatever that voice said about the Murkrow's Queen and this darkness just might be related... Somehow. But... How? And why?

As if on cue a figure suddenly entered the Lab, being attacked by a Murkrow. Sure, it wasn't exactly the answers I was looking for my questions (for the behavior of the bird simply sprouted more and more doubts) but it was something unexpected either way. The poor Chatot almost died of fright, and even Lilly let loose a faint, yet high pitched scream. One my ears didn't greet to well. In the end, the mystery figure and the mystery voice proved to be related - and it was this Persian'Morph known as Kaze who owned them both. Quite good looking too... The wisecrack was hiding in the roof -- the most unsafe place to be hiding when you have thousands of Murkrows flying over you and attacking anything and anyone they see.

After a small conversation (and me getting my starter pack and Leiro's 'Ball) it was time to leave - though Lilly asked for me to tag along with this Persian male. Leiro himself seemed to take a liking to Kaze, so I was basically outvoted and had no other choice. Not that I really do mind - he seems interesting enough.

Now to hit the road and start one of my goals: catching all Pokemon Species in existence and fulfilling my PokeDex.

So here we are, in the first rout of them all and starting out on our adventure. Me and Leiro raced ahead, so I have absolutely no clue if he did tag along or what. Not that it really matters, though I wouldn't mind having a handsome male like him around. Of course, I beat Leiro - though the cub did showed he had quite a good amount of speed on his side. Still, the silly one turned to look back at me as he ran - and thus knocked his head on a tree.

He's ok, just a bit dizzy.

Also, I've heard rumors of a small herd of Stantlers that live aroud here - and plan on acquiring at least one of them for two reasons: a) it'd be perfect in my team, b) I plan on completing my PokeDex. Naturally, the last one also indicates that I'll be catching at least one of every species found around these parts - though I might need to go into the next town and stick up on Poke'Balls after I finish the first five the Professor's Aide gave me. No problem, surely by then I will have battled a few people on this Route - and have enough money to spend around in Poke'Balls at the market.

Well, ater a bit of a 'conversation' with Kaze, Leiro finally managed to stalk something in a bush. So I had him tackle the thing, in the hopes of flushing out whatever was hiding inside in the first place. He did so, and I was impressed with his footwork - to say the least. No doubt I chose the correct Firecub. **add more here**
