The Starter Choice is the 1st chapter of the Pokemon: Battle Fury series.

Plot
The story begins when a young man named Nate heads out the door. Today was the day that he and his friend, Hugh, would choose their starter Pokemon for their journeys as Pokemon Trainers. As he heads toward the streets and passes a house, he is joined by his friend and companion Hugh who shouts out to get his Pokemon which Nate agrees. The two then head up the steps toward the lookout and then faces a girl holding a case.

The girl introduces herself as Bianca, Professor Juniper's assistant, and tells them that she has their starters ready. As she pressed the button to release the case, both starter Pokemon came out which were the Fire-typed Tepig and Water-typed Oshawott.

The two friends were excited to see them, but for some strange reason, the two were actually fighting and hurting each other. When Nate tried to stop them, Oshawott knocks Tepig and the two began chasing each other. Nate tells Bianca that what happens to the Pokemon will impact their future partners, which Hugh agrees, and the two chase after them...
