An Epic Adventure Requires a First Step

[Et Cetera]

Quinn tossed her backpack over her shoulder and walked swiftly across the street. Almost there..., she thought to herself. The excitement was welling up inside her, and she could not help but smile. Finally, she thought, I get to do something crazy. She pulled her cell phone from her pocket to check the time, and, after realizing she was running late, picked up the pace. She was soon jogging, attempting to reach Professor Pine's Lab as quickly as possible.

After a long run, she reached the end of the path. Panting, she gazed through her glasses at the magnificent building. The lab was incredible! A large, sterile door at the front, only a few small windows, no paint. It did not seem all too welcoming, but Quinn knew exactly what to expect inside. She approached the door and, without hesitation, knocked four times.

Knock, knock, knock, knock. The slight sound of knocking could barely be heard over the constant tapping of the keyboard. But on the fourth knock, realisation struck.
Clambering from his chair, which fell over, he stood up right, trying to remember why he had gotten up in the first place.

Looking around the room, realisation dawned on him. He was to be joining a pokemon with it's new trainer today. Happy he knew what was happening, Professor Pine lifted his chair and sat back down, staring blankly at the keyboard.

Realisation struck at once, and he stood up suddenly again. The trainer was at the door. Muttering to himself he made his way to the front door, swinging it open.

"Hello, hello, welcome to my lab." He said cheerfully, ushering the new trainer inside. "How are you today, I'm sorry for keeping you waiting, I'm professor Pine, have you been waiting very long?"

With the new trainer in the lab he moved quickly to pick up his chair.

"Sorry about the mess, I get so caught up in my work sometimes it's hard to keep track of everything." He looked around the room, slightly red in the face. "Well, I'm professor Pine."


(Hope that's ok. I kinda started chanelling some odd ball who is a clutz with a heart of gold xD

Would you be able to send me a message of the starter pokemon again please. I seem to have misplaced the last one.)

[Et Cetera]

ooc: that's perfect! that's part of Professor Pine's personality. xD also, the starters can be virtually any Pokemon with three consecutive evolutions.

Slightly confused, Quinn rapidly shook her head. "No, honestly. You didn't keep we waiting. Don't worry about it." A thin smile appeared on her face. "It's nice to meet you, sir. I'm Quinn." She bowed, attempting to show the professor respect.

"Of course, you know why I'm here." She chuckled; of course the Professor knew why she was there. It was almost the only reason trainers, particularly new trainers, visited him. She began to clear her mind, attempting to choose which type of Pokemon she most wanted. She narrowed it down, and spoke softly to the Professor Pine, "I think psychic or ice would best suit me." The smile had yet to vanish from her face.

[Ghost]

A blank look crossed the professor's face. "Know why you're here..." He mumbled, with a blink he registered what was happening. "Of course I know why you're here. You're here to check my tomatoes. They're right through here."

Grabbing one of her hands he led Quinn into a second room, this one was smaller, and much more tidy then the first. On the windowstill was a small pot plant with a thriving tomato plant within.

The professor reached into the bottom of the pot, shuffling around. Finally finding what he was after, he held them out to Quinn.

"Take your pick Child. The left is a pschic, the right an ice type." he told her, a smile on his face to match her own.

(I'm thinking Abra and Spheal, they are the only two that come to mine with 3 evolutions.)

[Et Cetera]

Perplexed, Quinn attempted to stop the professor when he mumbled about the tomatoes. "Ehhh.... alright?" Clearly, she was confused. However, when he eventually located the Pokeballs, Quinn returned to her normal, happy self.

She stared at the two spheres Pine was presenting to her. She took everything into account; which suits her personality best, which could be helpful immediately, which would be better in the long run. So many details..., she thought. "I've made up my mind. I'm going with the psychic Pokemon." With a smile, she grasped the Pokeball in her hand, turned around, and tossed it into the air.
