==Synopsis==
Kalos Starter Pokemon are coming to Hoenn.
==Summary==
After the deadly encounter with the flock of Taillow and Swellow, Justin and Rachel treat their Pokemon at the Oldale Pokemon Center and are treated themselves for cuts and bruises.
At the center, they meet Professor Birch. The professor is awaiting a good friend, who turns out to be Professor Sycamore of the Kalos Region. Rachel knows the professor and happily greets him. She explains to Justin that the professor had actually offered her, her first Pokemon but she wanted her first Pokemon to be from the first region she traveled: Hoenn. 
Sycamore has come to Hoenn with the Kalos Starter Pokemon as a means to spread more knowledge of Kalos since Kalos is not on the same land as Hoenn, Johto, Kanto, or Sinnoh. The professors have scheduled for five trainers to come acquire five of the six starters to begin their journey. 
Justin and Rachel would like to wish the professors luck, but word of Sycamore's travel has reached a new band of poachers who aim to steal the Starter Pokemon. Hoenn Starters are already of high value, and Kalos Starters will be of even greater value since they cannot be found in Hoenn. 
Justin and Rachel ultimately help rescue the Starter Pokemon especially with the help of a Fennekin that bonds with Rachel and Mudkip.
Justin, Rachel, and the professors make it back to Birch's lab in Littleroot Town where the five new trainers arrive. The five of them recieve Pokedexes and naturally bicker over the Starter that they want, but Treecko, Torchic, Mudkip, Chespin, and Froakie are all taken, leaving behind Fennekin.
Sycaomore noticed how Rachel and Fennekin bonded. He offers her the Fox Pokemon and Rachel happily accepts until a new young girl comes in, hoping to obtain her first Pokemon. Justin and the professors share nervous glances, but Rachel and Fennekin smile with a mutual understanding. Rachel hands Fennekin to the young girl, who absolutely loves the Fire-Type. 
As the young girl embraces her new Pokemon, Justin and Rachel leave. Rachel also hugs her own Mudkip a little harder, assuing Mudkip he is the only Starter Pokemon she needs.
