REVISION!!!:
I’ve given it some thought and want to help make this a more attractive idea for all to try with two new ideas.
1. At the character’s request, I will make your starter region specific.
2. CHOICE! Instead of just one & done, I will give you the choice of 3 Pokémon!
OCs, Canons, and Storyline Characters: Professor Oak is back and ready to hand out new and exciting Pokémon for you to start your journey.
Come to Oak, request a Pokémon, and Oak will do something different from the usual...
@EgregiousWill @FightLikeAnAce — the decision isn’t to make a decision at all which is still quite the decision!”
Oak rambled on happily as Damien ran out of inside voice earshot as he spoke to Kodi. “I’ve always enjoyed when Eevee takes the guessing game out of the trainers hand —
@EgregiousWill @FightLikeAnAce — You both are always welcome any time at all. And speaking of busy—, isn’t that not what you planned on making yourself, young man?”
A quizzically adult ‘hm’ hummed out of his lips as he turned towards the attitude-ridden boy on his side.
@EgregiousWill @FightLikeAnAce “Everything is fine and well, as expected, my dear.”
Oak’s reply was joyful and poppy as he reached out and patted Damien atop his head rather forcefully whilst still holding a cheery smile towards Kodi.
“Thank you again for entrusting me with the care of your Eevee. —
Always busy. Busy, busy. Lots of travel to and fro different regions. Some stuff can be spoken on, some things must stay hush-hush for now. You know how it goes, hm?
- trek towards their first Gym Battle. If you don’t believe that every single person that walked these steps felt the same exact way as you did then you’re out of your mind than I ever could have believed and you should turn right back around and head back to the lab.” -
Back in his Laboratory, Oak was alone once more. Assistants gone home, he had this time to listen to the one person who he trusted the most... himself.
His thoughts raced on and on, the one idea that agonized in his brain for days and weeks and months and years now.
- hypothetical ‘what-if’s’.
So much so that he nearly had gotten through the entirety of the mighty forest before he had realized where he was.

@Kototality - realize once she pulled herself away from the Togepi and examined it thoroughly.
An instantaneous nod was returned to Koto from her cut off question. “Yes, Koto, I do believe that one is a bit peculiar in comparison to the other Togepi’s I’ve come across...”
@Kototality “I have no doubt you will.” Oak replied, a small smile showing in agreement, hopeful that the young girl would not accuse him of distrusting her on such a first impression.
After all, if he did not believe in her, why would he give in to her weakness, the one she would soon -
@SmugSwagger - “I’m returning to competition, my boy. I wanted you, the Viridian City Gym Leader, to be the first to know. I’m on my way to Pewter after this conversation... and some day... I’ll be back here, Green.
To battle you...”
@SmugSwagger - six Pokéballs locked firmly against his belt.
“It seems as though my old Gym Badges expire after some time... so...” Oak paused a moment. This was the first time he would reveal his newest and greatest ambition to anyone other than himself. -
