Caesar looked between Bulbasaur and Chikorita. He knew he wanted a grass type as a starter, but he was hoping no one else would get to both of them first. He looked at Chikorita again and almost melted from the sheer cuteness.

Simon smiled as his eyes were greeted with the sight of and absolutely adorable Bulbasaur. It's even a bit like me already… he waved slightly, his face lighting up with glee as he noticed one of Bulbasaur's tendril's peek out and mimic his hand movement. Oh my Arceus… so precious! He bounced on his toes and crossed his fingers, hoping no one would pick Bulbasaur before he can.

"Go ahead, Zozzie," Elm responded. Anna found herself holding her breath, hoping that they didn't pick the fire mouse. I guess I should ask to go next, if I want to make sure nobody picks it before me, she thought. It looked adorable, and from what she had heard, it was tough as well.

Author seemed to head towards the Litten, the now energetic Zozzie bounding over. "You're a Litten right? How'd you feel about coming to study with me?" Zozzie asked energeticly, seeming so different from a moment ago.

It's fine!!/

Annie decided to look over the heads of the other excited trainers, noting that one already had a Pokemon. Zorua. Ah, I've always wanted one… I've only ever seen Zoroark. Both are really pretty Pokemon… A small wave and crunching noises caught her attention. A Tododile was crunching on its Pokeball, gazing at her intently as its sharp, jagged teeth hardly dented the surface of the hard encapsulator. Huh. What's it doing?

Caesar glanced at Bulbasaur again, but then Chikorita made a loud noise. He looked its way to see that Chikorita was staring him down and doing a cute little dance.
"What, do you like me or something?" he asked, laughing, "What a cutie…"

Since Zozzie already went, Anna looked up at Professor Elm. "Can I go next?" she asked.

He nodded and said, "You know, you don't need to go in any particular order. Just approach the one you'd like and see what happens." Suddenly, Anna felt a tug on her jeans. She looked down and saw the Cyndaquil staring up at her.

"I–do you want me…?" she asked. Her voice cracked a little bit. Cyndaquil nodded, and its back flared to life for a second.

"Quil."

Anna let out a small, quiet, squeaky noise and picked up the little Fire type. "Really? Ohmygod…! Then I choose you!" she declared.

Zozzie gave a small laugh as she walked back to where they were before, both their pokemon perched on their shoulders. Author was sitting on their right shoulder and Litten was on the left, both of them making noises in their ears.

Simon's eyes widened as he heard the Professor. Before any trainer could go to Bulbasaur, he moved toward the pokemon. It gave a trill of excitement at the interest Simon displayed, and reached out to touch his face with a tendril as a sort of greeting. "Would you like to join my team, Bulbasaur?" With that, the pokemon began to wiggle and prance around Simon, elated at the question. "Um… is that a yes?" Bulbasaur nodded her head as vigorously as her body would allow her. "Yay! I choose you, Bulbasaur!"

Caesar kept casting the occasional glance back at the little Chikorita as it kept its gaze fixed on him. He kneeled down next to it and held out his hand. Chikorita waddled closer and pressed her face against his palm.
"You chose me?" he asked.
Chikorita made a pleased grumbling noise and did her little dance again. Caesar laughed.
"Alright then! That settles it. Chikorita, I choose you!"

Annie hadn't noticed it was her turn to go until there were a few starters left on the table. The small water type, who she had been staring at for a bit, lowered its Pokeball in expectancy as the tall girl stepped forward. She gazed down at the final starter, smiling gently and sticking out her hand for it. Every Pokemon had a different way of greeting, and it was quite entertaining for Annie to read and discover.
Totodile hopped forward closer to her, looked at her hand up and down and carefully bit into her soft skin. It didn't hurt despite its sharp, jagged teeth. It was like a small dog biting down slowly.
"Er… is that a sign that you chose me?" She asked it softly, lifting it up carefully in one arm, careful to grab the Pokeball it abandoned.

(There weren't any other Pokemon but I guess it makes sense so screw it I'll do that. Also sorry I couldn't reply, I've been super busy. I have a hockey clinic way upstate this weekend so I don't know when I'll be able to reply next)

Cyndaquil had climbed up Anna's arm and now rested on her shoulder. It was fairly light, and Anna kind of liked having it up there. She didn't quite know why, but she did. Professor Elm began talking, and Anna turned her attention to him, careful not to accidentally drop her new friend. "Remember to care for your Pokemon frequently," he said, "It can not only strengthen your bond with them, but keeps the Pokemon happy and healthy and can even help them grow stronger themselves."

Caesar let Chikorita jump into his arms, and he held it close to him, stroking its head.
"Is that all, Professor Elm? Anything else we should know before we get started?"
He paused for a few seconds, looking around the room, which was trashed.
"And… would you like some help cleaning this up while we're here?"

"Yes, that's all," Professor Elm replied. "And though I'd appreciate it, you don't have to. If you'd rather head off, then don't let me stop you."
"Don't worry about it! If we all pitch in, things will go a lot quicker, right, guys?" Not waiting for a response, she bounced over to the toppled shelf. Anna looked over to Annie, realized that nobody had given their names out yet. "Oh, and we never really introduced ourselves to each other! I'm Annabell, but call me Anna."

"I have plenty of time to help you out."
Caesar walked over to one of the shelves and started to push it upright.
"I'm Caesar," he said over his shoulder, more to Anna than anyone else.
Chikorita watched him fix the shelf, all wide-eyed and slightly concerned.

"I can help." Zozzie said, grabbing a broom and beginning to sweep up some broken glass. "I'm Zozzie and this is Author." They introduced, pointing to the Zoura that was sitting next to Litten.
