Astral nearly jumped at the sound of footsteps approaching, and her tail flicked back and forth as the person approaching spoke, “Good morning, dear.” Her eyes darted towards the Assistant, and she blinked. The sight of someone in a lab-coat wasn’t a good way to start the morning, for a few reasons… And she avoided his eyes, rather mute to the fact he was observing her.
“Morning.” She mumbled shortly before turning her eyes to the four posters hanging to the right of her. The first was vibrantly labeled as ‘Trainer’, displaying a total of four pokemon. Ponyta, Piplup, Mareep, and Chikorita: to be exact. Well, her aim wasn’t geared towards battling and training all that much. She wanted to have fun, and bring out the potential and shine in her pokemon…
Even if the thought of an Ampharos or Empoleon on her team was a beautiful one…
The next declared Coordinator. For a moment she scanned the list, face slowly changing from the frightened look she’d been seemingly stuck onto, to a brighter outlook. For, this had to be her calling. Coordinators took the pokemon they trained and worked on showing their true potential, making them shine in contests and battles. It was about the glam and glitter, but most of all what pokemon could truly be!
At least that’s what her perspective on the profession was. Now, onto her choices.
Eevee… It was cute, for sure. But, for a beginner coordinator, she could imagine how hard it would be to show off this cute brute’s potential with Eevee’s limited move-pool, in a contest. It would have to evolve for certain before it could really show off. Astral was hardly the patient type either.
Pichu… It had good qualities over all, and an electric type would come in handy in all challenges to come… It also evolved into Raichu in the end, also a powerful thing going towards Astral’s consideration.. Perhaps she’d look at the other choices really quick.
Cleffa. A fellow normal type. Sturdy, cute, and it held some potential as a good partner. Cleffable was a admirable third form pokemon as well…
Dratini: The dragon pokemon would take the cake. Beautiful, good potential, and… Astral had a secret affinity for the first two hundred pokemon in the Pokedex. Astral could think of a few good moves and combinations that she’d love to see this pokemon pull off in a contest master battle. Dratini was certainly a high contender, for it’s over all power and it‘s ability to hold eyes on it.
“I’m going for Coordinator.” Astral briefly announced towards the assistant with a feable smile, “I’m thinking a Dratini… Female if available?” She’d certainly shaken off her first-timer fright rather fast…
Perhaps seeing a plan laid out in front of her eyes, had helped her get over that.
