As everyone disembarked from the bus, I still couldn’t help but think of the girl’s strange action. Like a bolt from the blue! What the heck?
But, oh well. We’re here and I’m probably not going to see Autumn again. Instead, my eyes wander passed the towering heads of older soon-to-be trainers and my eyes rest upon the building, painted a deep blue. Huh, no wonder why it’s called the Indigo Plateau.
“Newly arrived trainers, this way!” someone called. Everyone from the bus began moving carelessly in the direction, to the front doors. I felt like I was apart of a heard of Tauros, ya know, when they’re not all angry and stuff.
As we passed, I noticed flowerbeds. Flowers bloomed and they were the same color as the buildings. Indigos?
The crowd entered the building and I couldn’t help but gasp. The room’s grandeur reminded me of those castles that Mom used to want to decorate our apartment after. High ceilings, chandeliers, bright lights, red carpets. Just…wow!
“Hey, move it!” someone behind me muttered.
I frowned but kept moving. Eventually, we stopped in front of glass doors. A man in a tuxedo held up a megaphone and began shouting into it. I couldn’t help but laugh. What was he? A waiter or a track coach?
“Welcome, new trainers!” he began. “Congratulations on passing the Trainer Application Exam! Here, you take your first steps into a future that you, yourself pave. Before we let you enter the arena to capture your first Pokemon, we have a few General Stark.”
At that moment, a man in the dark blue Kanto military uniform started talking. I didn’t really pay attention to the guy as I looked around. I swear, I saw the exact hat the General wore somewhere among the people in the crowd.
“I understand that many of your parents and friends are worried about the activities of Team Turbulence, but do not be afraid. We have put up military outposts along many of the routes and near cities. Also, you are now to travel in groups of three, designated once you all have captured your first Pokemon.”
Well, that’s a new one on me. I frowned. This wasn’t what I thought it’d be.
“Thank you, Lutentaint,” the tuxedo-coach. “Now, before going through the doors, meet with the Pokemon Mart and gather a single Pokeball.”
It was as if the doors of a store offering free food was opened. People rushed, ran, and even tripped over each other to get a single Pokeball. I had to keep moving so I wasn’t ran over. I guess I have my mother for that amount of speed thanks to her love of shopping.
People crowded around the poor guys that were handing out the Pokeballs. People shouted and the gift givers weren’t fast enough. I flashed my card and got my Pokeball. Then, I turned and forced my way through the crowd.
After a few minutes, everyone had their balls (giggle, snort) and were gather back in front of the doors. I shifted my weight back and forth, the hair on my neck standing up in anticipation. Then the doors open and we all raced in.
My first steps as a trainer.

'kay guys. Sorry it took so long to get this up! Okay, so feel free to branch off of this and tell your guy's take on what happened. =)
