[Shenandoah]

((First poooost!!! XD))

Sandy was finally ready. She was ready to go forth and become the Pokemon Trainer she'd always wanted to be but had chosen to put off so that she would be more capable and knowledgeable about the world. She had spent years in school, choosing to get an education in the event of not being able to work exclusively with Pokemon. That reasonable side of her had definitely won that round easily.

Jaqui, her little sister, had taken to teasing her incessantly over her not leaving home to go become a Trainer. "You keep talking and talking, but not doing anything!" she would say. "You're obviously lying about wanting to be a great Pokemon Trainer!" Her parents had even believed she wouldn't actually do it.

However, that would all end today! She'd become a trainer and show her sister and her parents that she had been serious about going about the Kanto Region and become a respected Trainer! Sandy walked up the path to the famous lab of Professor Oak. She had spoken to him over the phone, expressing what she was to set out to do. And he had seemed genuinely interested in helping her achieve her dream. Nervously, she pressed the buzzer, hoping that he wasn't so involved in his work that he wouldn't hear her.
