Artus was shown the Starter Pokémon, all of which are owned by Professor Poplar.


 * "Choose one and let it accompany you."

Artus looked at all of them and has made his mind.


 * "Since I want a balanced team, I choose Bulbasaur to be my partner."

The Bulbasaur was glad and even smiled, as Artus picked him up.


 * "Then take care of it as your own friend. Also, take these Poké Balls; you'll need them to catch Pokémon in the quest. Good luck!" the professor shook Artus' hands, as he left the professor continuing her research.

Before he left, Artus was approached by the assistant.


 * "Oh, before you leave, the professor has asked me to give new trainers a Pokédex. You'll need it to scan info about Pokémon."
 * "But I know already about a lot of Pokémon. And I am certain if there are unknown ones, I'd hear it from other people I come across." Artus replied.
 * "Good point. But you'll have to use this Pokédex to scan Pokémon. It is told all Pokémon living on the island are tied to the World Tree for some reason. And in order to discover more, we ask of you to use this device." the assistant tried to convince Artus, since there is one subtask he could do.
 * "All right. I can't say no to that." Artus took the Pokédex, then bid a farewell to the assistant as he went out of the lab.

Outside, Artus saw some trainers, whose names were Sophiana and Ruby. He approached them, though he also noticed others coming his way.
