Hailey was using her computer up in her room in Oldoak town. She looked out the window. She could see the Pokemon Lab from there. She thought about how she had heard late last night that the Pokemon Professor recently received a shipment of starter Pokemon. 'Oh, I've always wanted to become a trainer,' she thought, 'This is my perfect chance! I hope he has something cute!'
She stood up, and proceeded to walk downstairs into the living room, and to the front door. "I'll be right back, I'm just heading out to the Pokemon Lab." She then opened the door and walked outside.
Outside the House:
Hailey's house was relativity close to the lab. It was about 3 houses away. It wouldn't be a long walk, and it was better that it was sunny out. It was a little windy too. Above in the sky there was a large brown bird, a Fearow, flying high.It was flying against the wind. A small dirt pathway lead from Hailey's house to the Lab.
There was a man that was really young on the far side of the room. We was writing something down in the his book. There were many scribbles in there. At the sound of her polite voice, he turned around. Storax stood up from his stool and looked at Hailey. "Well hello!" He said with a smile, but monotone. His smile was charming. "Who are you, ma'am?"
All of Hailey's shyness disappeared when the Professor greeted her. She stepped inside and closed the door behind her. "I'm Hailey McIntyre," she said with a smile. She bowed slightly upon saying this; having lived in Japan for a few years, it had become second nature to her. "I take it you're the Pokemon Professor?"
"Indeed, I am Professor Storax. It is nice to meet you, Hailey." The Professor walked form the stool that he standing next to to Hailey. "I heard that you would be coming. You mother told me that you would be starting your journey soon. Good for you." Then he walked to a cart that held PokeBalls and he wheeled the cart over to her. Then looked her in the eye. "These are 18 select pokemon that I offer to you for your life. You may pick one." He smiled at her. He loved the moment were a trainer got their first pokemon.

"Good choice, ma'am." Professor said to Hailey. "Take care of it, okay?" He said, and gave a worried look. He then petted Skitty's head like a cat. "This is a really nice Pokemon. Ah! Give me a second." He then walked over to the table in the back and gathered some items that weren't visible from Hailey's standpoint. He walked back with an eager bounce. "Take this!" He held out his and to reveal 5 Pokeballs and 2 Potions. "You will need these to start out."
Hailey took the items. "Thank you!" She went back to the door and opened it. "Bye!" She waved, and walked out the building, closing the door behind her.
Once she was outside, she set the Skitty on the ground and returned it to its ball. She then started running back home to tell her mom about it.
(OOC: so what do I do with my trainer profile now?)
"Oh nothing, I was just going to drop of some food for Alissa." She held up a bag with had a wrapped loaf of bread and a few fruits in it. It was pretty full. Alissa is Hailey's mom's friend. She is currently sick so people have been giving her family food. "How did it go over there?"
"I will bring my X-tranceiver, you know. I can call you whenever!" Without waiting for a further reply, she ran off into the house to pack.
'The items that Storax gave me, my laptop, a change of clothes, my X-tranceiver,' Hailey thought, 'That should be enough, right?' She went back outside, and gave her mom a goodbye hug. "I'll be sure to call you as soon as I get to Paradora city!"
The entrance of the route was adjacent to the lab. That was made so to be convenient to the new trainers in the region. The route between is very straight with only one turn near the end. The route was long, seemingly perennial, but it only took about 3-4 hours to cross if you didn't stop for a break. And a neat, light-brown, dirt path lead you to the next destination.
(That was a little short.)
The route didn't have much to offer. Lying before Hailey was aw clear route. There were a few things along the path. There was an average - inconspicuous woman walking the road. There was a lare bush that was overgrowing near Hailey. But in the distance there was a strange, shrill sound coming from the forest; it sounded sort of odd.
(sorry, I was trying to get you to describe the route in more detail)
Hailey walked along the path, stopping where the bush was. She saw it rustle out of the corner of her eye. She saw a pair of glowing eyes, which upon seeing Hailey look in its direction, disappeared into the bush. Hailey shrugged and looked down at Skitty, which rubbed against her leg.
(
this isn't easy to see what you are wanting from your character)
As soon as the eyes disappeared they cam back. This time they returned with a small growl, which was so small that you could still hear that ringing in the distance. The woman now was passing Hailey's path, walking away from their scene. And as that happened the eyes in the bush became more focused on Skitty, crescendoing its growl.
