{Critical?} Decision By The 1 & Only... {Ironhide}

[Ironhide]

It was a cold morning, the chilly air making everything shiver in its path. That is, everything except Darvala; AKA, 'Ironhide'. Ironhide had been looking forward to this day for at least a few months now. She had actually thought of the idea herself, and her parents thought it a ridiculous idea, as typical of them. But, hopefully, it would turn out to be a very UNridiculous idea, one that would change Ironhide's life forever.

Darvala was warm on the inside, and it kept her warm on this especially cold day. Eagerness to get away from her parents, and the basic life of living was very high. Of course, like any kid eventually would, she would miss her parents, but it would be a while before that happened.

Navy blue eyes looked straight aheah, finally seeing the Pok�mon Laboratory in the distance. She picked up her pace a bit, wanting to start her journey as a trainer as soon as possible. Within a minute, she had finally reached it. {This is it, the beginning...Remember your manners...} she told herself, stepping up to the door of the laboratory. Before thinking of what to do, she knocked thrice on the door, fairly quietly. It was an old habit, especially if she were going to new places. Knocking silently...Something she would need to work on, for sure. It was then that the cold finally started to get to her, and she shivered a bit for the first time in a long time.

A tall, slender woman answered the door almost as soon as she heard the knock. She had fur like a Houndoom's, as well as a tail and ears, though she had glasses and black hair. "Welcome to the lab! I am Professor Shadow. Your starter Pokemon lays just beyond this door. Come on in," she said, stepping aside and leaving room for the new Trainer-to-be to get in.

"We just got a shipment of rare Pokemon this morning. A few shinies, too," said Professor Shadow. "Not sure if any you'd be interested in, but you can take a look through the list," she said, taking out a clipboard with a long list of names. on it. It read:

Shiny Riolu x3
Shiny Aerodactyl x4
Shiny Omanyte x4
Shiny Chimchar x5
Shiny Turtwig x5
Shiny Piplup x5
Shiny Mudkip x4
Shiny Treeko x4
Shiny Torchic x4
Riolu x5
Bagon x4
Aron x4
Bonsly x3
Larvitar x3

Darvala smiled gratefully and stepped inside. She followed her to her desk, and wondered how she had gotten to how she was now...A Houndoom PokeMorph, she guessed. From the fail, fur, and ears it sure looked like it, anyways. He took the clipboard and skimmed through it, her eyes resting on the only two that interested her...

Shiny Riolu x3, Riolu x5

She couldn't stop staring at them, then she finally put the clipboard down. "Something I would really enjoy, is a Shiny Riolu," he said. She had never actually seen a Shiny Riolu, though she could imagine what they looked like...And then, a Shiny Lucario? She wondered what they would look like...
