Starting off one's journey by aiding the professor with his findings of all things pokemon and their behaviors Tucker finally gets reward with his very first pokemon of his own, a term of starter pokemon. "Take care of her well" the man spoke as he handed over a red and white ball with flame stickers all around it "As you requested, a dark fire type but be warned that she is a stubborn and feisty one" chuckling as he steps back. Moving his cane to poke the middle button as the ball resides in Tucker's hand, the top popped open to reveal a dazzling gleam that faded to reveal before them a houndoom. The young pokemon glanced between the two humans, her tail lashing and whipping the ground behind her before letting out a frightening howl.
Covering his ears a moment the Professor laughed hoping his pupil would enjoy the thrill of taming and bonding with such a beast "Hope you like her, she quite difficult to catch and bond too. But once she is loyal and trusts you, there is nothing she will not do for you" sending a grin his way. Houndoom perked her ears, her amber eyes staring toward Tucker then the ball in his hand beginning to gather that he was her new master.
