Starter Shop
A kind, graying man greets you as you walk through the door, a bronzong-styled bell alerting your presence. "Hello!" he says cheerfully. "You must be an aspiring Safari Zone trainer, eh? Well, I've got imported starters from all regions right outside." He gestures for you to follow him to the wide fenced-in backyard, where dozens of young pokémon of fire, water, and grass type (and even a small nest of pikachu) galumph and frolic in the meadow, shade, and pond.
"They're all male, and there's no alternate-colored ones," he comments as a cyndaquil rubs against his ankle, looking for a treat. "Choose whoever strikes your fancy, and he'll be your brand new, very first pokémon partner! After you make your decision, go down to the bank and let them know that you'd like to join, along with which species you chose as your starter."

Just outside the Starter Shop, a figure in shades pokes his head around the corner.
"Psst!" he calls to you from the shadows. You look around, notice him, and step into the alley warily. He pulls down his fedora and grins. "Hey, kid. I hear you're starting your Safari Zone journey, eh? Gonna be a pokémon master and all that jazz? Yeah, yeah, that's cool. But you don't want one of those puny starters, do ya? Nah, I didn't think so. A punk like you, ya want somethin' special, doncha? Well, have I got the guys for you."
The strange man flings open his trenchcoat, and you shield your eyes instinctively. On second glance, you realize that the only flashing going on is the gleam of light off of three shiny pokéballs. "Whaddya say, kid? Your choice of quality-tested, boss-approved pokémon. Guaranteed." You notice he doesn't say guaranteed for what.
"Hey, so you gonna take advantage'a this opportunity? Offer won't last, pal. No tellin' when we might get another supply."
