"Yay," said Juli, "What do you think mom? I really want to. Please, please PPLLEEAASSEE!!!" She was wagging her tail very hard. She stared appraisingly at Jon in his red hat, and looked around. She was so happy she did a flip. Her mother stared her down.
"Very well girl." said Proffessor Steel. She grinned slightly, showing her small canine teeth. "You know, that your rival will be coming by soon to pick up her pokemon too. She would pick the fire type against Juli, but I think that you should also get this Splite too, she looks like the one who is most interested in you, so I'll let her go with you. By the way, Juli, if you become happy enough, you will evolve into a different pokemon than I. So... I want you, Jon, to take this Pokedex, it will record all your data with it. OH, here is your rival now. What is her name?"
Jon thought this through, and decided that his female rival would also look for a boyfriend, so he named her something he could deal with. "Her name is ..."
"Hey, that is my pokemon." said a voice from behind
