Tanja Evans stopped in her steps, and looked at the building that is supposed to be the Siore Laboratory. This is not what she had imagined. Not at all.
In her mind, laboratories are big steel buildings that are forty stories high. It should look unwelcoming, scary, and... just a bit frightening. She should be able to see people in white coats walking to and fro through an automatic glass door, sometimes carrying heavy files, or maybe pushing a trolley. Tanja never felt easy among these people.
"Not this lab." She thought as she took a step forward, her blue eyes scan her surroundings thoughtfully. The Siore Lab looks more... homely, with its wooden walls and small size (well, smaller then the lab in her mind's eye anyway), and the little park around the edges! Wow!
As much as she hates to admit it, Tanja felt warm, not the kind of "under-the-hot-sun" warm, but the kind of "sitting-by-the-fire" warm, the warm that goes directly to your heart. She kind of likes that feeling, actually.
Soon, Tanja found herself in front of the wooden door of the Lab. She recomposed herself, and retied her brown shouldered-length hair into a high ponytail. Slowly, she gave the door three quick knocks, and wait for an answer.((Woah, sorry for the long intro! I hope I did the description of the Lab correctly! ^^)) |

(( OOC: I didn't mind at all about the long intro. And actually I think the lab's description is just the same as it is. ))
Prof. Selena just finished fixing up some broken Pokeballs in her room when she heard a knock at the door. She walked to the door and opened it, where she find Tanja right in front of her. "Oh, hey there! You must be here to start your Pokemon adventure, right? Come in and we'll talk about it!" The professor said. She walked to a round of couches with a coffee table at the middle, waiting for Tanja to come in.

Tanja peeked into the Lab cautiously, surveying the insides. Her eyes eventually landed on Prof. Selena. She stayed in that position for a moment, before realising that it is rude to stare at someone, especially an elder.
"Oops!" Tanja immediately shift her eyes down onto the wooden panel of the floor. She wondered if her face has turned a bright shade of red.
"A good day to you, Professor..." Tanja took a step into the Lab and bowed with her head still hanging low. She realised that she did not know the woman's name yet. This is not going well. |

Prof. Selena never meet such courtesy in her life in a Pokemon newbie. Most of the new people who want to get their first Pokemon just skip right ahead to the point and ran out with their starter, some even go without saying "Thanks" or "Sorry." Although, Prof. Selena didn't mind at all.
"Ok, so maybe you should sit here? Don't be shy" Prof. Selena said, softly and friendly. "Now let's just get your first Pokemon"

"Oh yes! My first pokemon!" Tanja face beamed when she heard herself saying that. The professor's name will have to wait until later, she guessed. The lady doesn't seem to take any notice of it too.
She walked (maybe skipped a little) and sat down on the couch beside the professor. She do know what she would like for a starter, she had made a friend out of this pokemon once back in her homeland. Tanja really hopes to find one here.
"Well, professor, do you happen to have any Chingling in your care?" |

"Um... A Chingling? I think I have one somewhere. Wait here." Prof. Selena said and went to another room. She came back a few second later with a Pokeball in her hand. "This must be what you're looking for. A Chingling. I hope you have a good care of it." She paused for second. "Oh, right! The starter pack. I should put it somewhere around here." The professor looked under the couch she sit on, and took a small leather bag. "Here it is! I thought I lose it." She muttered. Then she looked back to Tanja and gave the bag.
Bag contain:
- 1 Potion
- 3 Pokeballs
- 1 Oran Berry

Tanja received the pokeball and the Starter Pack from the Professor, lifting her eyebrows slightly when she saw where the pack came from. She hopes the lady won't notice.
The pokeball suddenly gave a "pop", release the pokemon within and out came a male Chingling, floating in the air. Tanja looked surprised at the sudden appearance of him.
The Chingling seemed to first float over to the professor, before realising that it was Tanja who held his pokeball. The Chingling circled slowly around Tanja, as if to inspect his new trainer. Then, he gave out his cry and his orbit around Tanja sped up.
Tanja gave her approval. The Chingling seemed to have accepted her as his trainer. That's always a good thing. She decided to let Chingling stay out of his pokeball for a bit longer. She also decided that the Chingling is a bit too hyper for her liking, but other than that, she likes him.
Turning to the Professor, Tanja bowed and said, "Thanks for your help Professor. I'll be off on my journey now."
Without waiting for the lady's reply, Tanja opened the entrance of the Siore Lab, and together with her new partner ("I ought to give him a name soon."), she was off on her journey! |
