The first ticket I tore apart was obviously the common language one since not being able to speak , read or write just sounds irritating. The sudden influx of information into my head from the ticket gave me a bit of a headache but I chose to ignore it since I could now speak another language. Though I definitely needed practice if the word "novice" next to the skill in my status was anything to go by. Still that was a small price to pay in my opinion since the knowledge from the ticket was pretty comprehensive and it was a whole new language.-
I waited few minutes for my headache to subside before I moved onto the next ticket that had me excited and nervous at the same time , the random pokemon ticket. As someone who had played the games thoroughly I was aware that while no pokemon was bad to have some of them were much weaker from other just as a rule of thumb normally. Tearing the ticket I was surprised to see three roulette wheels appear. The first had the pokemon options on it and I immediately noticed that it was first form pokemon only which was a relief.-
The second roulette wheel however was labeled the variation wheel and and had six options that had lower and lower odds yes , yes 2x , yes , 3x , yes 4x , yes 5x and no. The no option had the highest chance with fifty slots followed by yes with twenty. The odds drastically fell from there however as yes 2x had five , yes 3x had three , yes 4x had two and yes 5x had a single entry on the wheel. This made it abundantly clear that variations were extremely valuable and that I should be happy to have one even if it were something like a shuckle.-
The final roulette wheel had the different types of variations possible on it with shiny being the most common with fifty entries followed by royal with twenty , then the rest each had five entries. Those variations were ancient , strength , speed , intelligence , defense and elemental. There was however a single entry of another variation called legendary that had me interested. Apparently the system was waiting for my input before it began to spin the first wheel. Giving it I watched with fingers crossed as the wheel spun round and round before slowing down to stop on a pokemon name , Larvitar.-
"YES!" I exclaimed excitedly while punching the air above me in joy. Larvitar was one of the few species that were counted as pseudo legendary due to it's final form , Tyranitar , having stats close to the legendries in the game. That probably didn't hold true in reality since the legendries were supposed to be gods basically but that didn't mean it wasn't a fantastic starter pokemon. That was when the second wheel began to spin and it dawned on me that I could also get a variant form pokemon as well.-
When the wheel eventually stopped on yes 2x I was over the moon with elation as this meant my larvitar was bound to be amazing. Finally I watched the final wheel spin and mentally begged for it to land on legendary but I had no such luck. The first variation was the shiny variation which was basically just a color change and slightly disappointing to see. The second spin was also not very special as it landed on the second most re3adily available option , royal. With the pokemon roulette done I watched in curiosity as a black and white pokeball the same size as the others appeared out of nowhere in the bag.-
Picking it up I immediately was startled as I felt a connection formed between me and the pokemon in the ball. It was unusual really as it felt like I was physically a part of the pokemon and it was of me and yet not at the same time. It is hard to describe and so I simply won't try because nothing I say will do it justice. Clicking the release button in the center of the ball it took a short moment to actually open 'probably to take the act of throwing it into account' I thought.-
The bright red glowing energy shot out of the open ball and solidified into a six foot tall bright green stony bipedal creature with a tall head spike of the same color and a red belly. it also had curiosity filled red eyes and black markings under it's eyes and on it's chest. "Lar?" the thing said adorably as it looked at me with interest. It was painfully clear at this point that the royal variation was pretty much a doubling of size as I knew from the games I played it would usually only be three feet tall normally.-
Getting stared at by what may as well be a you sized superpowered dinosaur was uncomfortable no matter who you asked and I was no exception. "I am your new trainer , Alex." I said nervously in common but the pokemon merely nodded and sat down on the ground like it wasn't bothered at all. 'You know what? I am not going to complain about it being so chill when I don't have a fucking clue what I'm doing.' I thought deciding not to look a gift horse in the mouth.-
Looking at my status I saw that the pokemon tab now had the larvitar listed next to it along with a little symbol that I recognized as the female symbol from the games. "A girl huh? Wonder what I such call you?" I said in very rough broken common and my pokemon looked confused for a moment before figuring out what I said and perking up. "Lar! Lar! Vii! Tar! Larvitar!" the thing said eagerly like I was supposed to have any clue what that meant. Oddly though I did seem to understand like some sort of instinctual understanding.-
I decided to spare myself the headache and just rolled with it "Something powerful huh? What about grace?" I asked in rough common but my Larvitar shook her head in disagreement. "Hmmm , What about Gaia?" I asked and she seemed to think about it before nodding with a smile and cried out "Larvitar!" happily. I couldn't help but smile myself as it seemed her joy was contagious. "Alright Gaia , I'll try to keep you out of your ball when I can but might need to store you in it later alright?" I said in slightly better common not not by much.-
"Tar!" Gaia said with what I assume is an understanding nod. With introductions completely I turned my attention to the final ticket in the bag , the random skill ticket. Much like the others when he tore this one another roulette wheel appeared only this time there was so many different entries that he couldn't even read them which was clearly because it had all the possible skills he could have. Watching the wheel spin nervously he was left speechless when it landed on cleaning of all the possible options. There was then a massive influx of information about the best ways to tidy up all sorts of things from wine stains to blood and even sexual fluids. 'Looks like I'm going to be one hell of a butler.' I thought with a chuckle.
