Day 8 - Professor Oak!

Hi Everyone! Boy, did I have an awesome day with Professor Oak!

I went over to his lab the first thing in the morning. He answered his door and said that he had been expecting me! It turns out that my mother had called Professor Oak when I left Pewter City.

He took a look at Pichu; he said that he looked very healthy and should grow up into a very strong pokemon! Pichu seemed pleased at that!

Here's the best part though, the professor said that he would have a very special surprise for me if I helped him care for the Pokemon all day. I had a good idea what kind of surprise Professor Oak had in mind so I quickly agreed!

Professor Oak cares for and studies all the Pokemon that the trainers from Pallet Town catch! There were tons of Pokemon! of all different types! It was fun for me and Pichu to see all of them! We helped Professor Oak feed (or water in the case of the grass Pokemon) all of the Pokemon and helped clean up the ranch (there is no other word for it, this place was huge!).

At the end of the day, me and Pichu were exhausted but it was all worth it when Professor Oak came out with a pokeball and a Pokedex. He said that one of trainers that was going to start out that year had dropped out and decided to start next year.

He opened the pokeball and out popped a Squirtle!! I was completely stoked and thanked the Professor at least a hundred times! The professor also gave me the Pokedex so I could record information on the Pokemon that I see!

Professor said the first place I should go is back to Pewter City to challenge Brock, the gym leader there! I absolutely cannot wait! Me and Pichu started out late in the afternoon and we should make it to Viridian city by tomorrow at this pace! I hope to update with the training me and Squirtle are going to be doing!
