Chapter 1 (November 18, 2022)
Juliana woke up, excited to start her first day at the well known school in Mesagoza known as Naranja Academy. She put on her bag and her hat before going downstairs to greet her mom.
“Good morning, mom!”
“Good morning, Juliana. Do you know what day it is?”
“Yes, I know it! Today is my first day at Naranja Academy!”
“True, but don’t hurry just yet. Apparently we have a visitor from the Academy first.”
Just as Juliana’s mom said that, the doorbell rang. Juliana went to open the door, seeing a tall man with light gray hair wearing Naranja Academy’s uniform.
“Greetings. My name is Clavell and I’m the director of Naranja Academy.” The visitor said.
“Greetings, director Clavell.” Replied Juliana’s mom.
“Could you follow me outside for a little bit, Juliana? I have something important to show you.” Clavell requested.
Juliana followed Clavell outside, intrigued by what the director wanted to show to her. She was quite curious as to what it could be, maybe it could even be some kind of special gift for her. Or maybe it could simply be something boring, it wasn’t like she had any idea.
Outside the house, Clavell showed her a suitcase with three pokeballs inside it. He sent out a pokemon from the pokeball on the left side of the suitcase, saying:
“This is the grass type pokemon, Sprigatito.”
Sprigatito was a cute cat-like pokemon with a light green pelt. As it came out of the pokeball, it looked at Juliana and purred adorably. Next, the director sent out another pokemon from the pokeball in the middle of the suitcase.
“This is the fire type pokemon, Fuecoco.”
Fuecoco was a crocodile-like pokemon with red and orange scales. As it came out of the pokeball, it looked around curiously before noticing Juliana and waving its tail at her, possibly as a gesture similar to a greeting. Finally, the director sent out a third pokemon from the pokeball on the right side of the suitcase.
“This is the water type pokemon, Quaxly.”
Quaxly was a small duckling-like pokemon with feathers on its head resembling a fancy hat. As it came out of the pokeball, it did a gesture with its wing that looked like it was brushing its hair. After Juliana had looked at the pokemon for some time, Clavell asked:
“So, which one of these pokemon would you like? You can only pick one of them.”
Juliana pondered the question for a while. All three of the choices looked excellent, and it was difficult to only choose one of them. Eventually, after a long while of thinking, she had finally made her decision.
“I’m afraid I must visit another student now. You may meet me at that house over there once you’ve made your choice.” Clavell stated, pointing at a nearby house.
At the nearby house, Juliana saw Clavell alongside the three pokemon and another student, who was presumably also going to choose one of the starters. Clavell introduced the two to each other.
“Juliana, this is Nemona. She is a powerful champion-ranked trainer.”
“Nice to meet you, Nemona.”
“Nemona, this is Juliana. She is a new student at Naranja Academy.”
“Nice to meet you, Juliana! Would you like a battle?”
“I know you’re excited, Nemona, but Juliana hasn’t picked her starter pokemon yet.”
Looking at the three pokemon, Juliana finally made her choice. She made eye contact with Quaxly, deciding to pick it as her new starter.
“I would like to pick Quaxly.”
Clavell gave Juliana Quaxly’s pokeball, before Nemona replied:
“Can I pick one too?”
“Do you not already have one?” Clavell asked.
“Yes, but I’d like to pick one in order to have it grow alongside Juliana. We can’t really be amazing rivals if my team is too strong for her to defeat, after all!”
“Sure, you may pick one of them.”
“Great! I’d like to pick Fuecoco!” Nemona requested.
“Understood. Sprigatito will be coming with me.”
“Now, Juliana, would you like to battle me?”
“Sure thing!”
