This was when Ditto started her Pokemon journey and first met Blaze when he was a Torchic :) :icontorchic-plz::heart:

Story:

:heart: Ditto took a deep breath, staring at the door before her. She wasn't sure if she was ready for this. Here she was, 17 years old and she was just now waiting outside Professor Birch's lab, about to pick up her first ever Pokemon that she was going to train hard and become best friends with. For the past 7 years, she was studying at Trainer School since she was too nervous and afraid to start out at age 10, like most of her classmates.

:heart: Ever since she was a baby, she and her brother and step-siblings has been raised by their father and while he worked, his Blaziken babysat and cared for them. Because of that, Ditto had been really fond of Blazikens so she knew which Starter Pokemon she would immediately choose. But she was worried that she wouldn't be a great Trainer to her Pokemon and that she still wasn't ready.

:heart: Ditto was about to turn back and return to Littleroot Town when the door opened and a tall, burly man with brown hair and beard in a white lab coat stepped out, stopping when he saw Ditto. The man looked similar to her father and he was just as nice. This was Professor Birch and he would be the one to give Ditto her Starter Pokemon.

:heart: "Oh, hello there! You must be Brandy!" Birch smiled, extending his hand to her.
Ditto didn't have a choice. She couldn't just leave now so she took a deep breath and turned to face him, shaking his hand. "Thanks, and you can call me Ditto. My friends do."
"Ditto huh? Like the Pokemon?"
Ditto shook her head. "Not quite. It's hard to explain."
Birch chuckled. "Well then, why don't you come in? I've been expecting a new trainer to come around but haven't seen them in the past hour."
"Yeah, that was me." Ditto said sheepishly. "I'm just a bit nervous and keep thinking I'm not ready to start my journey."
Prof. Birch put a gentle hand on her shoulder. "It's quite alright, my dear. Lots of Trainers feel that way! It's perfectly normal and I'm sure you will do just fine! Now let's go meet your partner Pokemon!"

:heart: Birch led her inside and into a room filled with many technological equipment. Other scientists roamed about, one waiting behind a table that had three Pokeballs on it.
"Good morning, Miss Lyon! We've been expecting you! Are you ready to pick your Starter Pokemon?" the lab assistant smiled.
"Um...I suppose." Ditto approached the table, looking down at the Pokeballs, wondering which one held the Pokemon she knew she'd pick immediately.

"Alright, first up we have Treeko, a Grass-type Pokemon!" Birch picked up the Pokeball on the left and threw it in the air. The ball popped open and a white energy flowed from it, forming a cute green gecko-like Pokemon who had a large dark green tail and big yellow eyes.
"Treeko!" the Pokemon exclaimed, somersaulting before landing gracefully and looking up at Ditto. He smiled and waved. Ditto giggled and waved back.
"Hello, Treeko! You're a cutie!" The Treeko blushed.

"Next is Mudkip, a Water-type!" Birch threw the Pokeball on the right and an adorable blue mud fish-like Pokemon emerged. His large head fin twitched and he looked up at Ditto, cowering a bit.
"Kiiip," he said.
"Aww, don't be afraid, little guy!" Ditto said gently, petting him on the head. The Mudkip smiled and rubbed against her palm. Ditto stood straight as Birch grabbed the last Pokeball and threw it.
"Finally, we have Torchic, a Fire-type!"

:heart: Ditto held her breath. This was the Pokemon she was wanting! A tiny orange-feathered chick-like Pokemon appeared. His large yellow head feathers twitched as he groomed his yellow wings with his small beak. He then looked up at Ditto, who smiled broadly at him.
"Chic, Tor Tor!" the Chick Pokemon said, jumping up and down happily.

"Well," Professor Birch said, "which one do you want to choose?"
Ditto didn't want to seem too eager, so she decided to look them over closely. Treeko was cute and she did like reptiles, but she wasn't too fond of touching scaly creatures. It was an odd phobia she had. Mudkip was also really adorable, and she did love Swamperts, but Ditto also wasn't fond of touching slimy creatures either. She knew that she would encounter and even capture some on her journey, but at the moment she wasn't ready to deal with them yet.

:heart: But Torchic was nice and fluffy and soft looking. He was the cutest of the three of them and Ditto knew his final form was a Blaziken. She was determined to do her father's Blaziken proud by raising and evolving her own. So, at last, Ditto reached down and picked up Torchic.
"I choose you!" she said, hugging Torchic close to her. The Torchic rubbed his head against her chin lovingly. Treeko and Mudkip looked sad, making Ditto feel really sorry for them. "I'm sorry guys, but don't worry! I'm sure you two will find your human partners in no time!" At this, Treeko and Mudkip perked up smiled at her before being returned to their Pokeballs.

:heart: Ditto set Torchic down and reached into her massive tote bag, pulling out a striped black-and-blue bandanna. It was one of the hundreds of bandannas, scarfs, and bands she had custom-made for her by one of her best friends who lived in her town. She had started her Pokemon journey early and had been to every region. From the Unova region, she had obtained an adorable Leavanny who was a naturally skilled tailor and helped Ditto's friend run her boutique. Ditto had been asked by her friend if she wanted anything made for her to give her Leavanny the practice he needed for sewing clothes and Ditto had came up with the idea of bandannas, scarves, and bands, saying that once she had obtained Pokemon, she would use them to help distinguish her team from any other Trainers' and wild Pokemon.

:heart: Ditto tied the bandanna around Torchic's neck. "I think I'll call you...Blaze!"
Blaze smiled happily and rubbed his head against her leg, happy with the name.
"I have a feeling you and I will be the best of friends!" Ditto giggled, petting his head.

Ditto felt like she was now ready to start her journey, feeling even more confident. She could hardly wait to catch and evolve more Pokemon and befriend them!
