I walked toward Sina, meeting her in front of the Sycamore Pokemon Lab, located on South Boulevard, and we both went inside. Sina told me that Professor Sycamore couldn't wait to meet me, and told me to take the elevator to the third floor to meet him. I went up the elevator, and was greeted by the Professor.
We went to Professor Sycamore's personal office, and he thanked me for coming all the way from Vaniville Town. He introduced himself, and told me it was a pleasure to finally meet me. Professor Sycamore asked me how my journey had been going so far, and how many Pokemon I had met, and I handed over my Pokedex so he could see. He saw that I had seen 30 different kinds of Pokemon in Central Kalos, and was happy to see the progress I was making.
Sycamore handed back the Pokedex, and told me he had a good feeling about me. He told me he was thinking of only choosing one child from a town when he was deciding to send Pokemon out, and revealed that he was originally going to give a Pokemon to the child of a Veteran Trainer he knows, who I knew must be Serena.
That was to be the plan, until he learned that Rhyhorn racer Grace (Mom) and I were moving here. He sympathized with our move, knowing that in the Kalos region I was far away from everything I had previously known, and it struck a chord with the Professor. He decided because of my move that he should give me a Pokemon and have me travel around Kalos.
It was then that Shauna came by with Serena, and then Professor Sycamore suggested we should all have a Pokemon battle. Before I could say anything, Professor Sycamore challenged ME to a battle, and Shauna and Serena squared off against one another. I got ready for a fight as I stepped forward toward Professor Sycamore.
Sycamore first sent out Bulbasaur, and I sent out Bunnelby against it. I remembered Bunnelby still being injured from training, so my first move was to give him a Potion. After Bunnelby was healed, he got hit by Tackle for minor damage, then he attacked with Tackle for good damage before his attack was lowered by Growl.
Bunnelby and Bulbasaur traded blows, Bunnelby doing good damage with Tackle before getting seeded by Leech Seed, which healed Bulbasaur a bit. They both attacked with Tackle for good damage, and I decided that I needed to change tactics or Bunnelby would lose this battle of attrition. I sent Gabriel out, and he got hit by Vine Whip for minor damage, then he attacked with Peck for great damage which knocked Bulbasaur out.
Gabriel grew to Level 15, then I sent Axel out against Squirtle. Axel started with Thunder Wave to paralyze Squirtle, and it countered with Tail Whip to lower Axel's defense. After that I had Axel attack with Thunder Shock for great damage, and Squirtle was unable to counter because of paralysis. Axel attacked again with Paralysis and knocked Squirtle out, and Cadence grew to Level 10 and learned Lucky Chant.
Charmander was sent out last, and I sent Jack out against it. Jack attacked with Water Pulse, and it did massive damage before Jack was hit by Smokescreen to lower his accuracy. Jack attacked once more with Water Pulse, but missed, and Charmander countered with Ember for minor damage. Jack tried once more, and landed Water Pulse for good damage, which knocked out Charmander and won the battle.
After the battle, Professor Sycamore said he had it figured out, to which Shauna wondered what he meant. Sycamore told me I was an interesting Pokemon Trainer, and said it would be great if I took another Pokemon with me. Surprisingly, he offered a choice between Bulbasaur, Charmander, and Squirtle as a new starter.
I chose to receive Bulbasaur (Grass, Male, Lv. 10) and after a good long while I decided to name him Logan. I received a Venusaurite from Sycamore after that, and then he offered Shauna and Serena the other two Pokemon, and while they decided Tierno and Trevor came into the office as well.
Professor Sycamore was glad to see us all there, and he decided to say a few words to all of us. He told us to be the best Trainer we could be, and at the same time to remember to have fun traveling with our Pokemon. On top of that, he wanted us to help him solve Kalos region's biggest Pokemon mystery: the secret and potential of Mega Evolution, a new kind of Evolution recently discovered to happen in battle.
He told me that was why he gave me that Mega Stone, that it was an important clue. Trevor asked what we should do about the Pokedex, and Sycamore told him that if that's what "best Trainer" means to him, then he wants Trevor to go out there and complete the Pokedex. Shauna commented on Mega Evolution sounding interesting, and Sycamore suggested that she should check out Camphrier Town, and said that she might find a hint about Mega Evolution in a town filled with so much history.
Professor Sycamore told us that if we visit many different places to complete the Pokedex, we would see Pokemon with many ways of living and meet people with many ways of thinking. He told us to first accept the ways of living and thinking that sometimes conflict with our own, and to think about what's really important. He said by this acceptance and reflection we would truly broaden our horizons.
I talked to the other kids, and Tierno, who was focused on dancing above all knew he didn't have a chance at being the best Trainer, and Trevor was focused on completing the Pokedex, though I worried he was going to focus more on filling out a list than the experiences he would go through to fill it out. Shauna wanted to make lots of good memories, and Serena told me that she felt that being different from others makes her special, and planned to set herself apart from other Trainers by mastering Mega Evolution.
Before I left the office, I received TM54 (False Swipe) from a Scientist before I took the elevator down to the lobby. It was after I left the elevator to find a wild-haired man talking with a Scientist nearby. He and the Scientist were discussing me and the other children, and he wondered what potential we have. The scientist noticed me by the elevator, and called to me to come over.
I came over, and met with the man, who was pleased to see I had received a Pokedex. He introduced himself as Lysandre, and he told me that he's tried to learn as much as he can about Pokemon to help build a brighter future. I found out that he was taught by Professor Sycamore, though he didn't get into specifics about what he had learned.
Lysandre noticed the Holo Caster I had, and told me that I should put knowledge to good use. He told me it was vital that the world become a better place, and that the people and Pokemon chosen to make the world better must work tirelessly to achieve this goal. Lysandre left after that, and I was left wondering who this odd man was.
I was about to leave the lab, and the others gathered behind me. I turned around, and Shauna told me there was a place she wanted to check out, and she left. Serena told me she wanted to talk to me about something in Cafe Soleil, and she too left. Trevor and Tierno left, and Trevor wondered what Serena wanted to talk about, wondering why she couldn't just use the Holo Caster (which I still didn't have an understanding of). Tierno said that it seemed hush-hush, and said that while he IS curious, that they should probably stay out of it.
Tierno told me that to reach Camphrier Town I just needed to leave the lab, go left, and keep heading down the path, and he said that Cafe Soleil is over that way too. I left the lab to find a Pokemon center, and Trevor and Tierno left with me. Trevor told me that Lumiose City may be huge, but if I stay on the main streets that I shouldn't get lost.
Tierno wanted to go on a little walk, and Trevor headed off too, adn I was on my own. I decided to call it a day after I got my Pokemon healed up, and knew I would have to explore this huge city later.
