[ WP ] It 's your tenth birthday and you 're finally old enough to get your first Pokémon . On your way to Professor Oak 's lab , and owl flies by and drops a letter into your hands . It 's from Hogwarts . You read the letter and realize you have a very difficult decision to make .

As I made my way on foot across town to the Pokemon Professor's Lab to receive my very first Pokemon and begin my quest to conquer the Pokemon League, I was startled by the sound of flapping wings rapidly approaching. I spun around, looking for the source. Suddenly, I felt something lightly bump me on the head, and immediately saw what appeared to be a Noctowl flying away. But I had never seen a Noctowl like this before. It was smaller, fluffier, and as white as snow. A shiny, maybe? I never found out. 
 
 Looking down at the ground, I saw what had hit me in the head. I yellowish-white envelope, sealed with red wax. I picked it up and flipped it over. `` Red Potter'' it said in spindly script. 
 
 I looked around. Aside from a few townspeople I saw every day making there way about the town, there did n't seem to be anyone who might have had something to do with this. I figured opening a letter could n't do that much harm, so I snapped the seal and read the message within: 
 
 *To Master Red Potter, * 
 
 *We are pleased to inform you that you have been accepted at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Please find enclosed a list of all necessary books and equipment. Term begins on 1 September. We await your owl by no later than 31 July. * 
 
 No sooner had I read the words `` a list of all necessary books and equipment'' than a second page fell out of the envelope. It indeed listed the names of several books by authors with strange names, and included odd items such as cauldrons, plants I'd never heard of, and body parts of what I assume were new kinds of Pokemon. Honestly, the thought of dealing with dismembered Pokemon struck me as rather morbid, but I was too confused by this letter to be very concerned by it. 
 
 [ I have to go to my next class right now but I'll continue this later. ]
