Route #1 Pallet Town - Viridian City Part 1

Connor steps outside the town limits, Squirtle standing by his side. Route #1 is nothing special. Word is it's full of nothing but Rattatas and Pidgeys. And sure enough, no more then 10 steps away from town, a male Rattata jumps out from the grass barreling towards Connor.

Ready to protect his master and new best friend, Squirtle comes to the rescue. He tackles into the Rattata hard, sending it flying and nearly knocking it out right then and there. Pressing the attack Squirtle runs after the Rattata giving it one final blow.

"Hey over there!" A man shouts from farther up the road "This your first time out in the wilds?"

"Yeah, I'm gonna be the greatest Pokémon Trainer in Kanto!" Connor watched the man get closer and instantly realized what this is. He's a Pokémart employee. Specifically, one of those annoying employee's that wander around routes trying to advertise this and that.

"With what I've just seen I'm sure you will in no time, but you know every gr-"

The employee's words get cut off as Connor's Squirtle runs at the man, biting at his ankles. He seem to have had plenty of experience with this sort of thing and keeps the Squirtle at bay until Connor can grab a hold of him.

"Sorry about that. He really likes to bite for some reason."

"It's no problem. Now I was saying-" The man gets cut off again, this time by Connor.

"Don't bother. I already know all about Pokémart and unless you've got Pokéballs on you I don't want what your selling."

"Oh, well, here. Take this potion as a free sample. And be sure to visit us in Viridian City!"

Connor grabs the potion from the man and hurries on his way. Once out of sight he turns his attention on the small blue Squirtle in his arms.

"I'm gonna put you down, but you've got to promise to stop snapping at people, okay."

The Squirtle seemed a little dejected but nodded his response. Setting him down a thought came to Connor.

"You know what. I've got a name for you. How 'bout Snappy."

(you know cause he keeps biting people and he is a turtle so its like snapping turtle and...anyways.)

Whether it was a good name or not, the Squirtle's mood jumped right up. He started bouncing and cheering all around, barely able to contain his excitement. He finally had a name!
