Brian could almost see the excitement that the Professor was feeling at the prospect of giving him his starter. He couldn't help but catch some of the excitement, as well. When the Professor gestured, he followed the older man toward the main hub, and hearing that Professor Birch seemed to think he would be better prepared for his journey made all the cooking and care lessons he'd received that much better. Not to mention, he really wanted to make some new Pokemon friends; he'd always seemed to get along better with Pokemon than he had with people most of the time. That's not to say he shunned human company; he just didn't like interacting with his own kind all that much, unless it was his parents or Professor Birch. At the Professor's question of whether he knew which Pokemon he was interested in, he nodded. "Aye, I'd like Torchic," he said. He'd made his choice long before he started; for some reason, even though he loved all Pokemon equally, he'd always had more of an affinity for Fighting-types, as well as Psychic-types. Any Pokemon could be powerful, if properly trained, and he planned on training his team so they could be the best they could possibly be.

dragonfang09Having sent a lab aide to go and fetch the preliminary supplies that were necessary and customary for a new trainer to start off with, Birch had asked which starter Pokemon it was that the young man had wanted to train with. It didn't surprise him that there was a given answer, surely with the preparations that he had gone through before this he had had time to think about the decision and which would be right for him. A Torchic was a fitting partner for anyone who was willing to give them the effort they needed, and Birch had a feeling this would be a right fit. "An excellent choice, one moment," Birch nodded, and while he stepped away for a moment to procure the correct Pokeball for a Torchic, a lab aide had returned and held out a tray of assorted items and a newly registered Pokedex for the budding trainer. "Ah, yes, we've got some starting supplies for you, extra Pokeballs and such to get going, and this Pokeball here houses your new partner Torchic," Birch explained, personally handing the young man a single Pokeball. "I think you're going to have a great start!"

Brian noticed the Professor didn't seem surprised when he answered right away. As the Professor stepped away to collect Torchic's Pokeball, the aide returned with a tray holding a number of items. Nodding to the aide, Brian took the offered items, storing a few ofthe extra Pokeballs on special holders on his belt, and putting his new Pokedex in his pack, in a pocket on the right side for easy access. When Professor Birch returned with Torchic's Pokeball, the young trainer took it with a slight look of reverence that one might miss were they not paying attention. This was it. This Pokeball housed his first Pokemon, his first partner. Of course, he was ecstatic to receive his first Pokemon, but before he let his new Torchic out of its ball, there was something he wanted to know. "Professor, how do I go about becoming a Pokemon Researcher?" he asked.

dragonfang09It seemed the young prospect wasn't quite finished, for when Birch had finished making sure that he had all of the essential supplies to get started off on his way, he posed a question about becoming a researcher. "Ah, well, it is much like considering the beginning of becoming a trainer. Which region do you want to explore and learn about the most? What kind of Pokemon interest you and intrigue you to study them and work alongside them? What kind of challenges do you want to experience and be able to overcome? All of the Professors, myself included, have a researcher program open for new participants. You would want to consider what field of study you would like to work towards if you are wanting to look into a researcher program" Birch replied.

Brian listened as the Professor answered his question, then posed several of his own. Hearing that there was so much to consider made him think, and he took a few moments before he answered. "Would it be alright if I study under ye?" he asked. "For now, I just want to explore Hoenn, but eventually, I'd like to visit other regions, to see what they have to offer, both in terms of environment as well as Pokemon. To be perfectly honest, I love all Pokemon equally, but I've always had more of an affinity for Fighting- and Psychic-types. I want to see how Pokemon interact with each other in the wild, and to observe them in their natural habitats, like ye do. I want to be able to go places that normal trainers can't go, not because I want to capture rare or endangered Pokemon, but because I want to protect those Pokemon that people would abuse, especially the Legendaries. I want to earn the friendship of people and Pokemon all around the world, if I can." While he'd not really thought about it before asking the question, he realized that everything he'd just said was the truth. He knew there were humans out there that, if they were somehow able to capture one of the Legendary Pokemon, would abuse the power in one way or another. He wanted to prevent that from happening, if possible, and helping out Professor Birch seemed like a good way to start.

dragonfang09After his explanation, it seemed that Birch did in fact have a prospective researcher in his midst, and he couldn't have been more pleased. He was always elated to be able to add new researchers to his program, it was always just as benefiting and rich with experiences as becoming a trainer. Anyone should always feel free to explore any path they may want to take at a given time. His reasons were admirable, there was definitely no shortage of people like him out in the world that wanted to do what they could to not only learn about the world and creatures around them, but do their best to help them and preserve the natural order of things. "Why that sounds like a great idea, I would be delighted to induct you into the program," Birch smiled then, and fortunately the papers and clipboards that he had been carrying with him were regarding his most recent updates to his program. "Well, that said, becoming a researcher will get started right away! I will give you pieces of a task to follow through with and make sure that you can conduct the necessary findings, document them and present your findings and the details of what you've learned. Written reports, video documentary, any form that you see fit and works best for you is what we want to look at," Birch explained. "So off you go then, into the Hoenn region, and your first task is to successfully capture two different Pokemon species from two different locations here around the Hoenn Region. Your Pokedex is a vital tool to learning all about the fantastic creatures that you're going to encounter!"

Brian smiled as Professor Birch almost lit up at the prospect of having a new Researcher to teach. He listened as the Professor outlined what he wanted Brian to do, and the young trainer nodded, taking mental notes as he did so. Perhaps his new Pokedex could come in handy for taking notes, or perhaps even videos. He would have to fiddle with it a bit to find out exactly what he could do with it. When Birch gave him the OK to leave, Brian gave a nod. "Thanks, Professor," he said. "I'll give ye a call when I've completed the task, if I'm not back in Littleroot at the time." Having said this, he gave the Professor and his aide a smile, then turned and walked out of the lab, excited to start his journey.

Entering a lab for the first time was far more intimidating than he had expected it to be. Kana had already done the whole trainer bit once before but he had never done it the "correct" way. This was an entirely new experience to him but he wasn't about to let his nerves stop him. Refusing to give himself a chance to hesitate when he arrived at the lab, he pushed the door open and went right on in. Only after he was inside did he remember he probably should do something to announce the lab even had a guest. He knocked on the door behind him before calling out. "Hello there! Is anyone home?" He doubted that the Professor actually lived at his lab but it was force of habit to consider it a home thanks to his twin. "I know I'm a bit old to be starting out as a trainer but I'd like to see about getting a Treecko." Best to explain himself now. He hoped it might speed up the process a tiny bit. Then again- what else did anyone ever go to the labs for if not to claim their starters?Out of their Pokeballs: Partners: Wearing: long sleeved black shirt, jeans, boots Trainer Encounter: Wild Encounter: Item Posting: OOC: {Inventory}Pokeballs:

ElfyA bright morning welcomed the Hoenn Region into the new day as the sun had already risen and was moving into the sky, basking the green forests around Littleroot Town in a warm glow. Though small, Littleroot had much to offer those passing through as a one Professor Birch was already ready, willing and able to aid anywhere he could. One such instance was the joy of helping those new budding trainers, both young and old, take their first steps into the Pokemon world with their very own partner, and one such opportunity presented itself as he was notified by one of his lab hands of a visitor whom had come inside. The good Professor didn’t hesitate to move through his facility to come and welcome the newcomer, elated as always with an ever present smile on his face. Always a bit scattered though, he had to busy himself with tucking a clipboard and some papers beneath one arm before approaching. "Yes, yes, come in please," the professor called out in return, his door was always open and he enjoyed when he had visitors come through. He made it to the area of the front door and stood to greet his visitor with a wide smile, though before he could say much else the man spoke about the reason for his visit. "I see, I see," Birch nodded, signaling to his aide first before smiling again. "Old? Goodness, age has nothing to do with it. Do Pokemon evolve into their next stage if they're not ready to," Birch reasoned, there was no reason to believe that someone was too old to begin a Pokemon journey. "You just took your steps to get here when it was the right time for you, to evolve into the next stage of your life, nothing more. We'll get you all set up," he assured, and by then his aide had returned. "A Treecko is a fine choice, a loyal partner, I think you'll do well together. And here are some supplies to get you started," Birch offered, his aide held out a tray of select items and Pokedex included, all ready for a new adventure.

Kana wasn't prepared for the professor to be so positive. He half expected all lab dwellers to be part of a sort of extra serious hivemind. He was glad to be wrong. "Fair enough!" If the professor believed his age wasn't a problem, who was he to argue? He liked the idea that he was evolving into the next stage of his life. The professor's assessment was more accurate than he knew. He took the offered items and thanked both the aide and the professor. Starting over again was kind of nice. He had left the majority of his old supplies with Saiphe just in case their sister needed anything. Before leaving the lab, Kana took a few minutes to ask about basic instructions for how to properly care for a Treecko. His Treecko was his new partner and he wanted to get things right with it. Once he had exhausted his list of questions he bid the professor and his assistant farewell and headed off into Littleroot Town.
