>Did we check the three in our dex? If not, do so.
>Well, one that gets along with Myon might be a good idea...
>You think having them get along with your other half would be favorable.
>You pull out the pokedex and scan turtwig:
>"
Turtwig, the tiny leaf pokemon. The shell on its back is made of hardened soil, and should feel moist when healthy. When under the sun, its body undergoes photosynthesis, and the twig on its head wilts when it is thirsty."
>You then scan Piplup:
>"
Piplup, the penguin pokemon. Native to the shores of northern countries, its thick down protects it from the cold. It is also a skilled swimmer, capable of diving for over ten minutes in a single hunt. Most individuals have a strong sense of pride, and initially have difficulty accepting food from humans."
>Finally, you scan Chimchar:
>"
Chimchar, the chimp pokemon. It agilely scales sheer cliffs to live atop craggy mountains. The fire on its rear end is fueled by gasses in its digestive system and will not extinguish in rain. However, they willingly extinguish the flames before sleeping to prevent fires."
> Wait... A nickname! We need a nickname! The originality it's really important!
>You wonder if you should name your starter after you get it.
> "So... I think I'll..."
> Any objections for Piplup? If not, be free to parse and choose it!
>You tell Rowan you choose Piplup, prompting Chimchar to fall over.
>Piplup looks surprised that it was chosen. And doesn't seem to move.
>At this point, Turtwig finally stops eating, casually waltzes behind the penguin pokemon, and nudges it forward with its head.
>"Very well." Rowan heads over to a nearby table and grabs one of those red and white balls, holding it out to you, "Here's Piplup's pokeball, it's yours now."
