Alfred knight stood before Professor Argens' Lab in Silvertol. He had had a long journey getting there, arriving in Port Heaven and the bus ride all the way to Silvertol. The bus ride was a bit awkward with everyone staring at him.
'It really wasn't anyone business how old I am when I start a journey.' He thought about what the ticket woman shouted when he replied to his reason for traveling. He thought back to that incident.
[[Flashback]]
Alfred stood in front of the ticket booth and prepared to pay. He looked at the older woman in the booth.
"So where to young man?" She asked kindly. He smiled at her. "Well I'm going to Professor Argen to get my journey starter." he said. She looked Alfred over once with a critical eye.
"Yes, well...age?" She continued.
His smile faltered a bit. "I'm 25." he replied.
"Your 25 and your just now starting your journey??" She yelled, which echoed throughout the terminal. That's when he knew he was off to a rocky start.
[[Flashback End]]
"Well then let's get this show started." He knocked on the Lab doors and waited.
"I wonder what the starters here are like." He asked himself.

((Ooc: I hope It's alright If I join.))

"Flare? How are you holding up back here, are you hurt any? Are your wounds hurt or anything?" Dylan asks the pokemon in his backpack, it nodded, then shooked it's head, barked, and went back into the backpack. Dylan checked his map, and almost ran into the front door, only being stopped by a hurried boy talking to his pokeball, but Dylan couldn't understand what he was saying. Dylan walked into the pokemon lab, and walked up to the help desk. "Excuse me, is this the place that is currently giving pokemon to starting travelers?" The woman nodded and pointed into the direction of the main room of the lab. "Wow... there's so many... Aren't there Flare?" Dylan said as he walked into the lab, not noticing that Flare is glaring at the sewaddle in the back until Flare growled. "Hey, what is it boy?" Dylan asked Flare, before looking up, and staring in the face of the sewaddle. Dylan moonwalked into the wall at the other end of the room from it. "Hmm... Oh, boy, are you here for your starter pokemon?" Professor Agran said as she noticed the boy backed up into the wall.
"Y-y-yes..." Dylan said, shivering, staring at the Sewaddle.
"Oh her? She's harmless, would probably be beaten by one fire attack, here, come meet her." Professor Agran drags him over to the Sewaddle literally, and places his hand on it. The Sewaddle backs up and string shots his hand, Dylan shakes it off and falls back in shock. "Hahaha, I'm sure you two will make a great team." She returns Sewaddle to her pokeball, and hands it to Dylan. "Here's her pokeball, the first gym shouldn't be too far off, but you should train for it." Dylan thanks the professor in a fearful tone, and walked out of the pokemon lab, shaking in his pants, he eventually stops just outside of the town, and sets up a small camp. He tries desperately to get over his fear of Sewaddle with multiple failures leading in muffled screams by himself.
