"Do you know which one you want?"
Professor Elm's hands were outstretched, three small red and white balls resting in his palms. Each had a small symbol on it; a leaf, a flame and a droplet.

"Of course!"
I wasted no time in snatching up the ball with the water droplet on it. This was it. This was the day I'd been waiting for since I was a kid. I remember when my brother got his choice, too. He chose the ball with the flame. I'd watched in jealousy as his adventure began. But now it was my turn. I looked at the shiny orb, my eager face reflected on its glossy surface. I pressed the button on the ball.
A red light flashed, and suddenly, something else had joined us in the room.

"Totodile! Totodile!"
He was blue, and about as tall as my knee. He stood on two legs, and looked a little bit like an alligator. He had a cute red spike on his tail, and a yellow "V" shape on his chest.
But most importantly, he was mine.

"Are you sure this is the one you want?" Professor Elm asked me. "Totodile, the water-type?"

I looked down at Totodile again. He'd stopped saying his name, and now looked up at me curiously. It was hard to tell what he was thinking. Some people thought Pokemon weren't capable of having thoughts or feelings. Some people thought they were just good for battling, others thought they were better pets. Me? What did I think?
"Yeah," I said, "I think I've got a new friend."

Heh, I just decided it would be fun to do some character development. The two characters, Alexand Hunter, are from my TwigWriSum story(I only have on chapter up D=). I reccomend reading the story, but it's not necessary to enjoy this snippet, which will probably not be a part of said story at all.....


Alex gratefully sunk her teeth into the hamburger. She'd been so tired from walking around all day, that the sandwich tasted like the juiciest filet mignion, and the park bench felt like a luxury sofa. She closed her eyes briefly in content, savoring each bite. Beside her, Hunter grimaced.

"Ew, do you have to eat that in front of me?" He asked, eyeing the hamburger with distaste (which was actually verging on fear).

Alex just smiled, not noticing his contorted expression. She just unwrapped more of the burger, taking another bite.
"You should really give them another shot," she advised him, swallowing the last bit of meat. "They're so juicy and delicious. Plus, meat is good for you!"

Hunter shook his head, as if the idea apalled him. "Do you have any clue what they did to that poor cow, missy?" He pulled his salad dish closer, as if the bowl of lettuce was going to prove his point.

"Yeah, they cooked it," replied Alex, dangling her half-eaten hamburger in front of Hunter's face. He scowled at her, and waved his fork, decorated with a piece of cumuber, threateningly in her face. The vegetarian returned to his leafy feast, and Alex was left with a ketchup-covered wrapper to throw out. As she stood up, she realized how thirsty the meal had made her.

"Why didn't we think to get something to drink?" she wondered aloud.

"Why don't you drink some cow blood, you vampire...," mumbled Hunter, obviously still disgruntled about being so close to a piece of meat. Alex shot him an amused look, and then left in search ofa vending machine.

AND THEN AN ALIEN SPACESHIP CAAAAAME! lawlz, no im just terrible at ending freewrites.
