"Today of all days," Cody grumbled to himself, shifting the weight on his backpack. It was drizzling slightly as he hauled himself toward the lab. "Why couldn't it be sunny?" He questioned, sighing. It was then that thunder rumbled above and suddenly he was completely soaked. The tapping of the rain on concrete became a roar as Cody thrust his arms into the air because of the downpour.
"Thank you," He shouted sarcastically. "Thank you. You have made my day." Thunder rumbled again and he shook his head, finally reaching the door. He knocked a few times and stood back, taking the sunglasses from his wet hair and putting them in his pants pocket. He wiped rain from his face and waited. |

Startled by the loud knocking, Professor Pine dropped his vial of highly toxic Stun Spore that he'd been working on for the PokéPoison experiment. "Maaahhhh!" He cried as he was covered in the shimmering orange powder. "Come....in..." He twitched, unable to move because of the Spore's ability to paralyze almost anything. "Hurr----ry..." He moaned, falling off his chair backwards.

"Come....in..."
Cody blinked, turning the knob and opening the door. He stepped inside, soaking wet and immediately noticed something was not right. He stared in shock at the professor, who appeared to have fallen out of his chair. He ran forward and apologized quickly. "I'm so sorry," He said in an out-of-breath voice, noticing the vial of orange powder on the ground. "W-what can I do to help?" Cody asked, a bit hesitantly approaching the Professor. |

The Professor stared blankly up at the boy, still unable to move. "There...is...a vial..." His eye twitched as he made a gasping noise. "A vial...of...antidote..." His eyes both moved slowly away from the boy and rested on a beaker filled with a purple liquid. "Just fill....that eye dropper next...to it...and put it in my mouth.." He made the strange gasping noise again and tried to open his mouth all the way, but he barely made any progress. His mouth, however, was open just far enough to sqeeze it in.

"R-right," Cody said immediately, and quickly picked up the eyedropper, placing it in the beaker and filling it. As he did he apologized again, before proceeding to empty the eyedropper into the Professor's mouth and placing it beside the beaker again. He was extremely aware of the vial that had originally held the Stun Spore laying on the ground and carefully stepped around it. "Is t-there anything I can do to help clean up?" He asked quickly. |

Just a moment after the antidote was placed in the Professor's mouth, he immediately sprung up to his feet. "No, no. It's fine. Really. And thank you, err. I didn't quite catch your name. What was it?" He smiled and rubbed the back of his greying hair and turned back to the real matter at hand. "Obviously you're here for your first Pokémon, no doubt there. But, there's one question that remains unanswered. Is there a species that you would prefer over others? We offer a wide variety here."

"My name's Cody," He said quickly, extending a hand. "I came here a few weeks ago from Kanto." Upon Professor Pine's next question, he hesitated. "Which Poke'Mon?" He repeated, remotely aware of his soaked clothes and hair. He rubbed his arm. "Well, I was hoping you'd have Eevee," He said after slightly hesitating. Randomly he added, "Do you have a towel or something I can use?" |

"And, of course, I am Professor Pine." He extended his own arm and grasped Cody's hand, shaking it three times before resting his hand at his side again. "Sorry about this mess...we're experimenting with PokéPoisons. It's really quite interesting." He smiled and made sure the Stun Spore was tightly closed and placed up on his counter. He looked around quickly, turning his entire body in the process.
"Yes!" He grabbed a towl from a small closet and tossed it to Cody. "Here you go! You can keep it. It's from the PokéSpa, as I call it, in Hai-Ru City. Been there a couple times, I have." He chuckled and turned his attention back to business. "But, I must tell you this...we do not have any Eevee left. Sorry. We've already give four out to trainers and we won't have anymore of them for awhile now. I can tell you what though, Eevee do go fast." He took a deep breath and quickly added, "Is there another species that would interest you?"
"Here..."

Cody gratefully accepted the towel and started to dry off his hair. He paused, however, when the professor explained about the Eevees. "Oh," He said blankly, thinking for a moment before starting to dry himself off again. "No Eevees, huh?" He finished and put the towel in his backpack. "Do you have any Dark or Ghost-type Poke'Mon?" |

"No, sorry. No Eevees." He brushed some of the dust off of his lab coat. Obviously it'd accumulated while he'd been paralyzed by the Stun Spore. "Dark or Ghost...well, let's see." He tapped his chin and adjusted his glasses. "Ghost...Dark...Well. For Dark-types, we currently have a Sneasel, Stunky, and a Murkrow." He thought again, trying to recall if they had any Ghost-types left. Or if even at all. "Ghosts? Let's see...We have a Gastly and Duskull." He looked back down at Cody. "Do any of those interest you?"

Sneasel, Stunky, and Murcrow. Gastly and Duskull. They were all Poke'Mon he knew about. Stunky was the only one he'd never actually seen. The rest he'd studied and met. He'd always been interested in the Ghost and Dark Poke'Mon, though. Cody liked all of them. But then of course he couldn't start his journey with five starter Poke'Mon.
He blinked. "I think I'll take Sneasel," He said after a few moments. Yeah. Now he had to think of a name. |

ooc // no problem xD
Cody took the Poke'Ball and looked at it for a few seconds, before grinning. "Now he needs a name." I should just name him Fluffy and move on, he thought. But then again he wouldn't exactly intimidate a crowd by summoning Fluffy the Sneasel. He tossed it in the air and caught it. "You...your name will be Streak," Cody decided. He glanced back at the Professor. "Thanks for the towel," He said, attatching the Poke'Ball to his belt. He'd get familiar with his partner later. "It sounds like the rain's died down. I'd like to go a little ways before it starts pouring again." |
