First Pokemon...I think yes!

[Casso]

Casso looked around as she entered the little...okay rather large lab that this city housed. She wasn't one for all that science stuff, it was all kind of boring to be honest. The girl loved Pokemon though, so she just had to come to this place of science!

The small blonde sighed a little as she saw no one here, she really wished she would have brought her brother along...why didn't she again? Oh right...she wanted their Pokemon choices to be a surprise! It was more fun that way right? I mean this way their choices wouldn't be influenced by what the other got!

Also, she just had the feeling her brother was just being a little lazy about this so he didn't go this early in the morning. He was probably still sleeping! Oh well, time to see if she could get her Pokemon. The female cleared her throat loudly, it worked in the movies right? It was a simple way to get attention...and this place was really creepy. Now...what kind of Pokemon should she get...it was such a tough choice...it couldn't be ugly after all! She had always liked psychic type Pokemon...why not that.

[BellaMae]

The lab that the young girl entered was very spaciously designed. 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.

As Casso cleared her throat, someone did appear in order to answer he call, although perhaps not who she'd been expecting. A small, ghostly looking pokemon suddenly materialized directly before. Unlike those typical of it's breed however, the secondary color of it's body was a dark, midnight blue, rather than a spring green. It immediately lifted one small arm in indication of a wave, greeting Casso in silence, with the secret hope that he had surprised and scared her.

"Ralts!" A voice rang out, "Ralts, come back!" The sound of footsteps descending the stairs became noticeable as Professor Storm became visible as she sprinted down the spiraling staircase, "So sorry dear!" She called upon spotting Casso as she reached the floor. She relaxed upon seeing that Ralts hadn't gone anywhere too far. Letting out a breath, she smiled, "Can I help you with something?"

[Casso]

As the small Pokemon materialized in front of her the girl couldn't help but raise a brow at the creature. The girl grinned a little as she looked at the weird being...that was really cool. "That was awesome..." she said trailing off...wouldn't it be cool to do that! The girl watched as the creature waved to her, and she kinda waved back to it? It was really weird...really really weird. It looked really weird to be honest...kinda cute though in a weird way if that makes any sense at all.

She turned as a voice rang out from behind her where the stairs were, calling for the creature. The woman was dressed in a lab coat...no doubt she was the professor the girl was looking for. The small female smiled as the woman apologized to her? Probably for the little Pokemon just showing up out of nowhere...to be honest...it was kinda cool.

The blonde girl looked at the Professor lady person as she gave her the simple question. The girl nodded, smiling a little as she spoke. I mean why wouldn't she....she was getting a freaking Pokemon! Who wouldn't be excited? "Yeah...I'm here for my first Pokemon actually," the girl said to the woman. Of course that's the only reason people ever came here wasn't it? It's kind of sad really.

[BellaMae]

"Oh! Wonderful. I thought perhaps you were here to take back those defective pokeballs. All the better though!" The Professor smiled genuinely, as providing new trainers and breeders with their first pokemon was the woman's favorite part of her job, "I'm Professor Storm," She went on, glancing down at the Ralts that stood between them. The small pokemon craned its head around to look at her, then vanished once more, reappearing on her shoulder.

The Professor smiled, her attention remaining fixed on Casso, "Sorry if this little guy scared you, though it doesn't seem that he has." Ralts tilted his head to the side, odd eyes fixed on Casso, unwavering, unblinking, "Anyways, follow me." She drifted back toward the disorganized desk, speaking over her empty shoulder as she spoke, "Now, are you a trainer or a breeder? And what kind of pokemon are you looking for?"

[Casso]

Casso nodded,"Nope, just here for a Pokemon." She smiled as the Professor lady introduced herself...of course her name was something that just didn't sit well with her...strange. The female watched to lady more then the creature...in fact she probably didn't even notice it vanished. It was after alll...her first Pokemon time!

The girl shrugged,"My brother got all the scared...ness...es and I got all the looks," the girl joked a little. Even though they are not identical twins, people could still easily tell they were related. The girl stepped forward a little as the professor lady person went to a desk that looked like her brothers room. I mean all it was missing was the dirty clothes and it would be a perfect replica! "Oh, I'm a trainer...I think...yeah, definitely a trainer," she said, a little bit because of her love of Pokemon...a lot because of her competitiveness with others. "Um...I like most kinds...but my favorite is the psychic type...no birds though! Birds are stupid!" she kind of wined the last part. Birds were stupid...especially geese...look at those stupid birds...stupid birds yeesh.

[BellaMae]

The girl's joke earned a genuine quiet laugh from the Professor as she settled herself down in the large, comfortable arm chair at her desk, "Alright then, let me see what I have for you." She replied, reaching down to draw open a file cabinet at her right side. She paid no heed to Ralts as he vanished from her shoulder, and reappeared on the desk, where he promptly proceeded to pick up her fresh cup of coffee, and take a drink. By the time she sat back up, file in hand, Ralts had set the coffee cup back down, as if he hadn't done a thing.

The Professor spread the file out on her lab as she quickly began to scan the information on the sheets. Her eyes flowed quickly over the words, and she flicked quickly through the pages. It was but a short moment before she finished searching through the papers, at which point she settled back in her chair, and focused her attention on the new trainer.

"So I have several options for you, dear. The first would be a Gothita. It's female. Level 5. And she knows Pound and Confusion." She paused to allow the girl a brief moment of consideration, before continuing, "The second is an Abra. It's male. Level 5. He knows Teleport and Knock Off. Something to keep in mind with him is that until you evolve him, he won't gain any new attacks, so you'll likely have to spend some money on TMs." Another brief pause, "The last pokemon is a Slowpoke. Level 5. Male. He knows Curse, Yawn, Tackle, and Growl."

"Do any of those appeal to you?" She inquired with an arched eyebrow.

[Casso]

Casso tilted her head as the woman went to her desk and started flipping through stuff and things...boooooring! The girl watched the Ralts nonchallently drink some coffee...and again...it was such a weird Pokemon. "...your so weird..." she said with a little laugh...of course talking about the little Ralts. Of course it was unknown if the Professor lady knew that or took it as she was being weird.

The girl turned as she blabbed on and on about three possible Pokemon. Gothita...heck no! No offense to anyone else but she though it was creepily ugly looking when it evolved...no way she was going through that. The other two...what on earth were they? "Um...sorry I'm trying to remember what they all are...Slowpoke is the one that is all pink and watery right? And Abra's the one who evolves into the guy who uses forks?" The girl obviously didn't know her Pokemon as well as she thought...though there were hundreds of them so its not suprising.

Well...that wasn't really an answer now was it? She didn't say yes...or no. But for sure she wasn't getting Gothic thingy or whatever....just way too creepy!

[BellaMae]

Professor storm regarded the girl with a slightly odd and inquisitive look, not quite sure what she was talking about. Weird how? She glanced down at the small pokemon on her desk, at which point it clicked. She reached out, and pointed to the fresh ring the coffee had made on her desk, upon which the mug no longer sat, but rather was half an inch off or so, "You could have just asked for your own, you know." She teased with a slight shake of her head, "Go ahead and have it."

Ralts tilted his head slightly to the side, his expression suggesting he had absolutely no idea what the Professor was talking about. With a slight shrug of his small shoulders, he turned back to the coffee mug, which was near half his size, and picked it back up to take another drink.

Slight surprise flickered across the Professor's face at the girl's response. She inclined her head in a nod, "Yes. I can get them for you, if you'd like to see what they look like."

[Casso]

Casso giggled as the Professor talked to the Ralts. It was kind of funny, she had no idea why but it was adorable. She then had to think..."can Pokemon even have coffee?" Of course she didn't realize she said that out loud...her and her out loud thinking. All that time she spent learning about Pokemon...well in reality all she really did was doodle and dream about battling...but its the same thing right?

Casso nodded, "Sure, that sounds great." The girl beamed with a smile...and as soon as the professor lady was out of the room...she so planned on tickling that little creature. Yes...it sounded weird but...it was cute and it did try and scare her. She had every right to tickle it right?

The girl smiled,"But you don't have to if its a bother," she said waving her hand off a little. She didn't really want to impose much, it was kind of rude anyway...I mean she just showed up here and was pretty much telling the professor 'get those B.A. Pokemon out here because I can't remember what they are'. Yeesh...oh well, this was at least kind of fun.

[BellaMae]

Professor Storm couldn't help a laugh herself. Ralts was a handful, but he was awfully entertaining, "Sure. It's of no harm to them." She watched as the little psychic-type drained half the glass in one gulp, somehow managing to avoid spilling any of it, despite the awkwardness of drinking from a glass half his size.

The Professor inclined her head in a slight nod, "Not at all, not at all. Wait here a moment and I'll go and get them for you." Scooting back her chair, she rose quickly from it, and made her way toward the archway behind the desk, disappearing into the other room.

[Casso]

That little maniacal grin crossed her face as the Professor left the room. You know the look...like the rabid twitards if they see the movie for their 20th time...or the dreaded yaoi fan girl who finds someone she ships in real life, or even the author the two characters. The girl moved towards the little Ralts, acting innocent...at least it worked on her parents...though it wasn't hard to fool them.

"Aren't you cute..." she hummed, just waiting a little like she wasn't going to do anything. Of course she knew different...and the Ralts probably did too. The girl let out her battle cry..."TICKLE ATTACK!" she said as she attempted to grab hold of the creature and tickle it. Of course with the creatures psychic abilities it most definitely could dodge her attack easily...because she probably didn't even have the element of surprise on her side.

[BellaMae]

Unfortunately for Ralts, he responded very well to praise. A comment here, a remark there... That was the way to go if you wanted to get by his defenses, and he immediately relaxed and soaked up the praise. He certainly believed himself cute, as the girl called him. He still held his mug of coffee, although it was nearly empty at this point, and was watching the girl approach with smug interest... Until she shouted, and he dropped the mug out of sheer surprise.

The girl's fingers ensnared his body, sending wild chilling feelings through his body. One might typically yelp and call out, but instead Ralts just squirmed, wildly flailing until logic suddenly seized him, and he teleported out of the girl's grasp, reappearing in the Professor's chair, small chest heaving wildly as he attempted to catch his breath. He'd uttered not a word, as the little Ralts was a mute.

Professor Storm stood in the archway of the room she'd entered moments ago, a slightly curious expression on her face, which was soon overcome in a fit of laughter. It took her a moment to regain herself, at which point she approached the desk, "It's okay, Ralts. You're safe now." She smiled, winking rather stealthily at the girl.

The Professor's hand swung forward, and two pokeballs flew from it, before returning to her grasp. From them appeared the two pokemon requested.

[Casso]

Casso couldn't help but giggle a little at the Ralts. It was surprising it just didn't teleport away right away...damn you logic! The girl hummed as the Professor winked at her. She looked at the little creature,"Sorry, I just couldn't help it cutie," she said winking at the creature now in the chair. Now...down to business!

The girl watched as two flashes of light became the two Pokemon that were talked about before...well two of the three since...well the other one she knew what it looked like and it wasn't for her. The girl looked first at the pink looking thing...it was better then the gothic thingy she was offered prior.

Next she took a look at the Abra one...well it wasn't to bad, not as cute as the little Ralts. The girl looked between each Pokemon, Ralts, and the Pokemon again...comparing which one was cuter...the Slopoke or the Abra...who was her control group...Ralts. "Hmm...the Abra is kinda cute."

[BellaMae]

It took a moment, but Ralts eventually calmed down, and his breathing returned to normal. He relaxed where he was, slumping down in the Professor's chair rather dramatically, as if he had just escaped some great danger.

The Professor noted the spilled coffee on her desk, but seeing that it hadn't reached any papers, and wasn't expanding, she saw no reason to attend immediately to it. It would simply join many other coffee stains upon the dark oak. Her attention turned to the girl, watching as she inspected the pokemon. She did not miss the turn of her head as she looked at Ralts as well, and an eyebrow arched slightly in question.

"Kinda?" She repeated, "Dear, this is an important decision! The pokemon you chose must truly be the one you want." She glanced over at Ralts, then back to the girl. Technically Ralts was available, but due to the many times trainers had turned him down for his muteness, the Professor had stopped offering him, as each time only depressed the little pokemon into a longer extended silence. For, for whatever reason, the small pokemon was intentionally quiet. He could speak, but chose not to.

"I'm sure there must be a couple of other pokemon available if you'd like me to look?" She asked, withdrawing the Abra and Slowpoke, and making her way over toward the desk. She sat the two pokeballs down upon it, away from the spilled coffee, and reopened the folder to inspect it again, "Perhaps a Girafarig, or a Solosis?"

[Casso]

The girl tilted her head as she the woman started to talk. The girl flinched a little as she pretty much got yelled at about how important a decision this was. The girl sighed, blowing her bangs out of her face. "Yeah yeah, I know its important..." she said. She was the difficult child...at least in her family.

The girl tilted her head,"A Pokemon I really want?" the girl asked. She put her hand to her forehead, hmm...no what did she want? The girl tilted her head...the poor professor was going to have to deal with her stubbornness...if her brother was here he would probably be apologizing for her...but he wasn't.

The girl pointed to her left,"What about that one?" Of course...she just had to be the pigheaded one. She just had to do that, she was a challenger after all, since the woman hadn't offered the Pokemon to her...she wanted it even more! It was that weird logic for some reason, and it meant more tickle attacks! Then again, there was probably a reason she didn't offer it...never hurt to try right?

OOC: Lol sorry for her stubbornness <3 She's just that kind of person xD
