Beginning

[jupiter]

She was over twenty and just now getting to obtain her first pokemon. Jupiter sighed and rolled her eyes at her display of procrastination skills. A sliver of excitment ran through her veins, even if she was older for a new trainer, she still was happy at the thought of training pokemon.

Jupiter waited rather impatiently outside the laboratory door. She shifted her weight every so often and even dozed off for a few seconds. The woman didn't sleep much these days for some reason. She would stay up, consumed with the thoughts of her past life.

She sighed and shook the crazy thoughts from her head. This was her new life now. Nothing else mattered, she was going to train pokemon and be the best at it. Who would she pick for her first pokemon? Jupi hadn't the slightest clue who but she was still considering a dark or poison type pokemon. They were her favorite since she grew up with a Stunky.

Jupiter stiffly stood up as she saw a professor, or someone in a white coat at least, coming towards her.

"Are you the professor here?"

[BellaMae]

It was a brief moment before someone came greet the young woman. An older man, his hair starting to turn gray around the ears, and who was dressed in a lab coat was who appeared. He smiled warmly down at the girl, "Well hello," He said, his expression calm and gentle, "I don't suppose you're here to get your first pokemon, are you?"

Behind him, a good portion of the lab could be seen. Directly in front at the very back of the room sat a rather large desk, covered with papers and empty coffee mugs, and of course a full, fresh and steaming one. To the left was a huge window, which was actually a sliding glass door, that lead out to a great open pasture of green grass, and was clearly where pokemon were let out to play. To the right, an open room that was obviously a lounge, and a set of grand stairs that lead upward. To the right of the desk, at the far back, a large open archway stood, leading into a dark room.

At the desk sat a woman, who glanced up at the sound of the door opening, and took a quick drink of her coffee, "If that's a new trainer, send her back, Allan!" She called, "I've just enough time to get her started before I've an appointment to keep."

Allan chuckled quietly at the Professor's haphazard appearance and tone. Despite her wild demeanor at the moment, she was a distinguished researcher and an extremely intelligent woman. She just happened to be a bit busy at the moment, and most other moments at that, "Go ahead on back." He told her, "Professor Storm will help you out."

Jupiter smiled shortly at the man and followed him into the lab. it was large on the inside. Very sterile looking if you asked her. She gazed at the many machines and equipment were neatly placed along the walls.

"Yes, I am here to get my first."

The least she could do was try and be pleasant to this guy. He would be helping her out and having an alliance with him was smart.

Jupiter heard a woman call out and she turned to the professor as if asking if she could go back there with the shouting woman.

[BellaMae]

Allan nodded, "Whenever you're ready just head on back." He said, before turning about and making his way toward the sliding glass doors far off to the left. He disappeared outside a moment later.

The Professor cleared her desk of papers, shuffling them to different sides of the desk into disarrayed piles. She grabbed a couple of folders and stuffed them ruffly into an open filing drawer beside her, "I really need to clean this thing out..." She murmured. Really, that wasn't the case. At the beginning of each day the desk was spotlessly organized, but by the end it was in ruins. Before she left every night she set things in order once more, but the process simply repeated itself the next day. In the very least she knew where everything was.

"Later." She rose from her spot at the desk, coming about to meet the girl halfway, "Hello there dear, my name's Professor Storm." She smiled, "So you're here for your first pokemon, hm? Wonderful! What type are you interested in?"

[jupiter]

Jupiter made her way to the back of the lab. She was amused a bit by an woman, older than she, who was shuffling through a mess of paperwork and files. Jupiter walked in and replied to Professor Storm.

"Hello, I'm Jupiter. I'm interested in either a poison or dark type pokemon if you have that type?"

Jupiter's eyes were light and clear and she had a soft and excited expression. It was a change from her usual emotionless face. She felt almost like a kid again, not a care in the world! If only she could still be like that...

[BellaMae]

The Professor smiled brightly in response to Jupiter's words, "Of course!" She replied happily, turning about and making her way back to her disheveled desk. It was a good thing she still knew where everything was in this mess, or it was likely the girl would have to wait a good deals time. She plopped back down in her chair, and beckoned Jupiter over with a wave of her hand.

She reached down with the unoccupied hand and pulled open a filing cabinet, above the one which was already protruding. She flicked through the files, before selecting one and pulling it out. She laid it open on her lab and began to sort through the papers, "Alright my dear, I have a few choices to offer you." She glanced back up at the girl with a smile, before her attention returned to the folder on her lap, "The first is a Skorupi. Female. It's a poison and bug type, but upon evolving will become poison and dark. It currently knows Bite and Poison Sting."

She flipped the page, "Next I have to offer you a Poochyena, which is a purely dark type pokemon. It's male, and knows Tackle and Howl." Her eyes drifted further down the page, "Lastly, a Stunky, which is a dark and poison type. It's female, and knows Scratch, Focus Energy, and Poison Gas."

Her attention returned to Jupiter, "Do any of those appeal to you?"

[jupiter]

Jupiter smiled as the woman mentioned Stunky. She had a strong liking for this pokemon. It was cute and had some serious talent in her eyes.

"Stunky sounds perfect."

Jupiter did her best to not beam in excitement like some 5 year old. She was more mature than that, so she thought. Jupiter shifted her weight and waited for the professor to give her more directions.

She could see herself training this new pokemon of hers. Jupiter would make this little skunk the best one out there. Maybe she would even do contest... nah, she was too aggressive for that type of thing.

[BellaMae]

Professor Storm smiled, "Wonderful!" She exclaimed, closing the folder and tucking it neatly back into the file drawer, "Wait here a moment please." She rose gracefully from her seat and swung about the chair, making her way through a tall archway in the wall behind her. She was gone for only a brief moment before she returned, a pokeball in hand, as well as a medium-sized pouch which clearly contained several items.

She made her way around the desk and offered both to Jupiter. Indicating her right hand, she said, "Your pokemon." And then the left, "Your starter items." The smile lingered brightly on her lips, "And I believe you're all set!"
