Cody slowly started down the path, going to get his first pokemon sometime today. He ran his hand through his hair, wondering what pokemon it would be.

"Ah! It's a surprise until the other two arrive! But, for now, I hate to make you wait. Would you like to interact with some Pokemon in our sanctuary?" Professor Willow replied to Nora with her own excitement. She loved it when new trainers came here.
Soran shuffled anxiously as he tried again to free a Togetic he found caught in a fence by its foot. The back alley had been empty, his special short-cut, but he simply couldn't leave the Pokemon in the fence. He'd be late by now!
He finally freed the crying pokemon, who fluttered up and squealed out a thanks. He sighed, the pokemon too cute for his initial liking, but he sooned grinned and spoke. "Just a day's work, Togetic!" The pokemon moved to poke at his head, a strange sparkle forming only for the pokemon to flutter back up with a giggle and fly away.
Soran stood confused, but started running towards the lab.

Nora nodded, "Yes please, professor." She smiled sweetly.

Professor Willow smiled. "Great! We have countless Pokemon here in our sanctuary. It's the largest building in this city, actually. We get shipments of injured or sick or abandoned Pokemon and care for them here."
One of the glass panels lifted up, and Kyle moved to get some Pokemon to say hello. A Tropious stuck its long neck through the opening before padding into the lab lounge. A Pidgeotto flapped in with a squack as well.

Nora let out a squeak as the Tropious appeared, seeming to flinch away from it, she flushed again, "Oh hello."

(Got you fam. Lemme open Lyle and the others.)
Lyle tossed one of his Pokeballs as he walked on the beach surrounding the League. It was a dry season with trainers, they started coming in about now. He'd beaten a few last week, and now the League was temporarily closed for some renovations. He was bored. He let his Araquanid out, knowing she loved the ocean.
Professor Willow smiled. "This is a Tropius. It's grass and flying, native to Hoenn, where I came from. We got him as a baby, from a poacher. Now he stays here. He likes you already!"
The gentle pokemon lowered his head to look at Nora, flapping his leafy wings to greet her.
Orian sighed in his office, the gym above him in the tallest building in Technia. The bustling city was alive with activity, but there was some electrical troubles again. He'd have to call the 7th Gym to get someone to check the ElectroEnergy Plant.

Quinn walked down to the beach, wearing her bikini and her Garchomp trailing after her, not wanting to go near the water. Quinn had to convince him with a few poffins. She paused when she was down there, grinning. It was nice to have some time off.
Shard was sitting in his gym. It was an off day and he was tinkering with some electrical device. He was trying to figure out a way to build some cheap solar panels for his gym. Jolteon lay with him, sleeping soundly.
Cody paused to rest a moment. He was excited to get his first Pokémon.

Lyle turned as he spotted Quinn, probably a better idea to speak than to glance at her nice attire. He shook his head and called. "A good day for the beach. And Garchomp! Hey there!" He waved his hand, his Araquanid floating in the waves, spindly legs supported by the bubbled joints as she hissed a greeting.
Orian pressed his fingers to his temples before moving to the moniter to send for a video call to Elekostan city. He hoped Shard wasn't busy, grumbling to himself.

(Nudged Frozen's newbie) Elizabeth chuckled sheepishly. "Tybone's still being trained. He's a real sweetie. But hey, you know me! Clumsy. Ehehe. Anyway! Can't talk long, I think my first set of trainers are coming in. Thanks again! And say hello to your Pokemon for me. Oh, I adore Cryogonals. Bye bye!" She nodded, moving to hang up as she scrambled up, fixing her appearence before returning her Tyrantrum and quickly scooping up her confused Spinda. She rushed downstairs from her lab, hoping Kyle was keeping any trainers company. She moved to the lab lounge, greeting rather frazzled. "Oh my! You're here early, young lady! The card said 1 Pm!" She chuckled, pulling out the card she had typed for this girl, either Nora or Malia, and a boy, Soran. She blanked and gave a gasp as the card read 11 instead of 1. She ran a hand through her hair. "Well, that was my fault! Ok! 11 am Pokemon is just as good as 1 pm Pokemon! You're first here, first to pick once the other two arrive!" Professor Willow nodded to Nora. "Oh, I see. Will do." Holly nodded in curiosity. "Goodbye." She hung up the phone, sighing. She wondered if those newcomers would be interested in tackling the gyms. Being a late gym leader wasn't as good as one might think - newcomers never went after them, and the best only tackled the 8th. Not only this, but Aurorious Village was rather secluded, and there were never any new trainers. "The professor says hi," Holly told her Pokémon. At last, the car stopped in front of Willow's laboratory. "At last!" Malia exclaimed, jumping out of the vehicle lightning fast. "See you later!" she told her parents, dashing inside. I better not be late. What if there's no partner for me? What if nobody's here? What if...

"Exactly! That's why I'm here!" Quinn looked over at him. She turned to look at Garchomp a moment before moving to put her feet in the waves. She smiled a little, loving the beach.
Shard let out an annoyed groan when he heard something. He moved to answer the call, wiping his greased fingers off on a towel. "Hello?" He asked.

"K.T. slow down!" "I'm gonna be the first on in the water!" Down the beach a young five year old was running with a riolu beside him, the two seemed to match each other step for step as they towards the ocean. Behind them Mato was chasing after them, his brow bent in furrowed concern for his younger brother, "K.T.!"
Nora slowly reached her hand toward the Tropius, "H-hello" She greeted shyly.

Professor Willow glanced over as she saw Malia coming in, waving over. "Come! Over here! There's one more trainer." She nodded, only to pause as she saw a boy running towards the lab. "There he is!"
Orian spoke with his gruff voice. "Afternood, Shard. I hate to sound informal, but there's some electrical malfunctions in the city. I've got workers looking at the power grid, but I'm seeing if there's someone who can check the ElectroEnergy Plant."
Lyle smiled at her, sitting near the waves and chuckling. "I thought I'd let my Araquanid get some swimming in before she got snappy again." He spoke, before calling. "If she floats near you, just push her past you. She's rather invasive."

Nora turned to follow the professor's gaze to see the two new trainers, "Oh, hello." She smiled shyly with a small wave of her hand.

Cody continued to walk along. He soon saw the lab come into view. He smiled a little. Great.
Shard let out a short huff, watching him on the screen. "How many times a month do I have to come and fix it?" He asked. "Don't you have people who can work on it?" He looked as Jolteon climbed into his lap.
Quinn scowled. "You know I hate spiders!" She moved into the water, sinking into the waves happily. It felt good, cooking her off.

"Oh, so I'm not late! Hooray!" Malia cheered, greeting the professor and two other trainers. "I'm Malia." she nodded. "What're your names?"

Soran deflated as he saw he was the last one there. But he felt a bit sheepish. He shouldn't seem discouraged in front of these girls! He flashed his best grin and gave a thumbs up. "My name's Soran. Future Pokemon Master, at your service." He put his hands on his sides proudly.
Professor Willow smiled. "Move to this room right here and we'll get right to getting your Pokemon. As rules go, first come first serve. Nora, then Malia, than you, Soran." She nodded, leading the 3 new trainers.
Lyle apologized, as his Araquanid scowled at Quinn's words. The champion then looked over and greeted the Fighting Eliete. "More company? Hey guys!"
Orian scowled. "I'm well aware. I told you, I have some guys checking the grids, but I'd like to know that the plant is working too." He grumbled.

Cody paused at the gate, looking up at the lab. He tipped his head lightly, wondering if he was too early.
Quinn floated in the water, looking up as Mato and KT came down. She waved a little before going back to the water. She liked relaxing.
Shard huffed. "Fine fine." He scowled. "I'll be there soon." He moved to stand to get some stuff together.

"Cool." Malia smiled. "Nice to meet you both. I can't wait to see our choices of Pokémon!" she said, eagerly following Willow into the new room. The possibilities were endless! She just hoped Nora wouldn't pick her first choice...

Nora smiled back at Soran and the Milia before following the professor, she was so nervous about which pokemon she would get!
"K.T. slow down! There might be a--" Mato ran up beside Lyle as his little brother ran into the water, he didn't get to finish his words when K.T. suddenly tripped, his foot catching on a buried Krabby and sending him face first into the water. The riolu beside him suddenly stopping at his friend's fall. Out of the sand the Krabby came up, anger ticking its face from the sudden kick to the back of the head, when it saw K.T. it raised its claw for a Vice Grip attack. "Mask use Quick Attack!" Mato called quickly, seeing his brother's peril, the little riolu was swift to respond and used a Quick Attack to knock the Krabby away from the little boy. From the riolu's hit, the Krabby let out a few grumbling growls before it stalked away. "K.T. I told you to be careful!" Mato called again, a frown at his brother. K.T. was rubbing his foot, he had sand on his face and was fighting back tears, "I'm sorry, Mato."

Professor Willow led them to a room with a table in the center. 3 Pokeballs sat there, and she moved to let the Pokemon out. She grinned as a Petilil, Horsea and Slugma came out. The three pokemon looked at the trainers.
"Your choices are Petilil, a grass type, Horsea, a water type, and Slugma, a fire type! Nora, first choice is yours." She nodded.
Soran looked with interest at the Horsea. It evolved into Kingdra. But the Slugma was freakin lava and dangerous! Cool! The Petilil...he knew he wouldn't match with the currently gently dancing grass type. But he kept a hopeful persona.
Orian nodded. "Thank you, Shard. It's a big help." He then scowled. "Now if only I could get a Magnezone myself." He had admired only Magnezone from Shard's electric team, a sucker for steel-types.

Malia's curiosity peaked as she looked at her options. Horsea stuck out to her most - it was really cute! She didn't know what it evolved into, but knew that it was strong. She then looked at Petilil, not liking it very much. It didn't seem like the most exciting option. Her glance fell on Slugma. What was that? A fire slug? How weird...

Nora raised her hands over her mouth as she looked over the pokemon, she almost felt dizzy as this was finally happening. Oh which do I pick? she asked herself. She glanced at the other two before slowly stepping up to each pokemon, the Petilil was kinda cute, but it made her skin crawl, the Slugma was too hot for her liking, she wasn't sure she'd be able to hold it. We have a lot of water types back home. she thought as she looked at the Horsea, it was looking sweetly back at her and she could tell it was hopeful for a great adventure. Nora smiled at it, "I'll take Horsea please." She said looking back at Professor Willow. The Horsea gave a joyful cheer.

Cody moved up to the lab and knocked on the door softly. He stepped back to wait.
Shard shook his head. "I'm not telling you where I got mine." He said, throwing some stuff in a bag. His workspace was messy, indicative that he spent many long nights there. He soon had a backpack and a bag together.

Malia felt disappointment as Nora made her choice, but she didn't falter. Oh well. she thought. Now it was down to Petilil and Slugma. She felt rather torn as she waited to be called up. Whatever option that she didn't choose would be going to Soran. Either way, all three would be in good hands.

Willow grinned. "Horsea is a great Pokemon. You'll find them to be very keen on making bubbles." She handed Horsea's Pokeball to Nora. She turned to Malia. "Your turn young lady."
Soran inwardly hoped Malia would choose Petilil. The Slugma was his current favorite.
The Petilil looked a bit discouraged, but she swayed her leaves to catch any attention with her dance.
Kyle opened the door for Cody. "Hey there. Sorry for the wait. The first three trainers are choosing their Pokemon, but you'll be right after." He invited Cody in.
Orian growled. "Once again you leave me to find it myself." He sighed, running a hand through his hair. "Call me if you spot anything off."
At the ElectroEnergy plant, a small infestation of Joltik were feasting on the plant's output, meddling with the power a bit.

Malia stepped forward with uncertainty. She felt a little bad seeing the Petilil try to attract her attention, but she still didn't feel for it enough. I hope I don't hurt its feelings, she thought, not even realizing that she had already made her choice.
The Slugma gazed at the starting trainer with its trademark neutral expression, not seeming to show any emotion. Malia felt something as she looked at it, and she stepped in its direction. "I... I'll take Slugma." she said, confident yet nervous. Could she even keep this thing out of its ball?

Cody stepped inside, looking at him. "Oh thank you." He said, stepping aside to wait. He was excited, wanting to get on with his journey.
Shard shook his head and headed out of his gym, locking it up. He then headed to catch the electric train to his destination, jolteon trailing after him.

Nora smiled brightly as she took Horsea's pokeball, she put it on her belt right away and held her arms out to the little pokemon, "Come here Horsea!" she smiled, she didn't know why, but just looking at the little pokemon made her happier. Horsea let out a little bubble before it jumped into Nora's arms happily.
Mato glanced at Lyle as Mask helped his little brother up, "Remind me, do you have any siblings?" He asked with a sigh as he crossed his arms. Once K.T. was back on his feet, he and Mask ran for the water to play.
