Cotton ball like clouds floated through the sky on the bright sunny day as Faust made his way to the Professor's lab already in view. As he walked to what would start his career as a pokemon trainer, thoughts went by in his head like the clouds crossing overhead. He already had an idea of what he wanted to start out with. Now he was just speculating on what his other two pokemon would be and what he wanted them to be.
Man, I'm really hoping for a bug pokemon like Scyther or maybe a Vulpix so I can evolve it into a Ninetales. What will I do is I get a Grimer? Hmmm, what will I get what will I get...
Faust blinked out of his musings as he came closer to the lab and rested both his arms behind his head with a big smile, banishing the crease in his brow from worry. "It doesn't really matter. After I get my pokemon, everything will be o-Gaah! Rock!" Was about all he could say before tripping over a rock on the path with his arms flailing while falling face first into the ground. "....Ow."
He got up slowly with a nervous laugh as he rubbed his nose. "I guess I should be more careful." He dusted himself off and took a few more strides before coming to the door and knocking on it while speaking up. "Hello?"

The door remained closed for a mintued, however thumps could be heard on the other side. Finally, however, the white painted wood swung outward, revealing an ekans coiled on the floor.
<Welcome to Jenta. The professor is out back right now, I am afraid,> she hissed, her voice soft and precise. <My name is Hana. I assist Professor Cherry, how may I help you?>
<Hannnna,> someone hissed pathetically from Faust's right. If he looked around, he'd see a second ekans dangling from the door handle, his fangs sunk into the metal.
Hana winced. <That is Haru. Er, if you could do him a favor and stick out your hand so he can wrap around it? He has a fear of heights, and no one has developed a door that can be opened by snakes yet.>

Faust was puzzled at the absense of anyone behind the door untill he looked down and noticed the Ekans. He stood there, blinking for a few moments try to register in his brain what the Snorlax was going on. His mind was still blank when he replied.
"Um...........oook." He eyes moved to the sound of muffled hissing on the door as he spotted the second Ekans with a mouthful of doorknob.
Still nothing.
Faust stuck out his hand obiedently like a puppet complying to the first snake pokemon. "Ooook...." His brain still trying to get over the fact that he is being greeted by two Ekans, who were apparantly the professor's assistants.

Haru's tail slithered happily around Faust's arm, and the snake let go of the door knob. Rearing up he fixed the boy with a beady stare and his tongue flickered as he said: <Thanks. You can put me down now.> Hana, in the mean time, slithered over to a chair, and wrapped her way up its rolly casters in order to curl in the seat. She then reared up and grabbed a table edge with her teeth, and pulled the chair closer to the table and the computer enthroned upon it. Taking on a professional tone of voice (she only wished that she had pince-nez to go with the attitude), she stared expectantly at Faust. <What is your name, intended occupation, and starter preference? Haru, get him the pamphlet on the Jentan Group System, and the brochure on the starters.> <How many opposable thumbs do you see here, Hana?> Haru asked his mate dryly. <Besides, the group one starter list's on the wall,> a triangular head jabbed in the direction of the tacked up poster. <Oh well,> Hana sighed, <the pamphlets are over there if you would like to pick one up.> (( Pamphlet on the Grouping SystemList of Starters))

He was still trying to find his brain as he lowered Haru to the ground so could slither off his arm. "Uh huh...."
He finally snapped out of it a bit as he was asked by Hana what he wanted his starter to be....who was using the computer.
This vist will disturb me to no ends...
"Um, well I was thinking of a Cyndaquil, but a Charmander will be fine as well." Despite his unease he managed to smile like usual did.

((Hey, we try to keep the lab as interesting as possible, so the snakes are giving you your pokies this time. Down with formulaic starts! If you like Prof Cherry can wake up ...))
<We have both, but you're definitely thinking a fire type, then,> Hana nodded, putting this into the computer. <Any gender preference? Also, any pokemon personality opinions?
<We have two fairly loyal charmander at the moment. They're very eager to start with a new trainer. Another one is very brave. I'd really recommend him if you are looking for a determined fighter. Another one of our guys is a major optimist. I don't know whether you really want a perky person as a partner, though. Transversely, if you're looking for a challenge, we do have one really agressive charmander that we're trying to get rid of.
<There is also a very playful cyndaquil if you'd prefer someone less serious, and more happy. Our other cyndaquil tend to be shy and cautious. We'd try to give them out to trainers who are interested in more aspects of the training life than just battles, as they would require more work and attention.
<I think I can get you the types of your other two starters already, but the computer won't generate actual species until your first starter is chosen,> Hana finished, turning back to the computer.
Haru cleared his throat from the floor. <You forgot to ask what kind of pokedex color he'd like,> the ekans stage whispered.
<Oh, right,> Hana looked vaguely guilty. <They're in the box over there. We have lime green, midnight blue, tangerine orange -- don't ask about why it's called that, I know it's a bit of an oxymoron -- black, white, and garnet red.>

"Hmmm..." Faust rubbed his chin as he thought a moment before giving deciding. "I'll think I will will go with that brave Charmander if its a male, but I'm not too picky of it isn't."
At the mention of the pokedex he looked over at the box and at the colors, after brief look he turned back to Hana. "I'll take a white one if you please." His nervousness in his situation starting to fade as he smiled again.
(I'm making it how my char would react to getting his starter pokemon by two Ekans. I think he is handling this better then what I originally wanted him to do, which was to point and say "Holy Crap! A talking snake!!!"
.....
Hey, wait a minute. You said the Professor was out back! Are you telling me he is sleeping on the job!?)

((Prof Cherry's ekans are "over affectionate." He's been going slightly crazy the past few weeks giving out starters and getting Sinnoh pokemon out into Jenta, so Hana and Haru are conspiring to force him to get some sleep, while they deal with the trainers. So, yeah, he's sleeping on the job. Whether he wants to or not is another question. } . As for the talkin' snakes, all pokies talk here. This helps 'em keep a personality -- not all of our members are good enough RPers to give personality to things that don't talk [insert massive sweat drop here].)) <Yup, he's male,> Hana nodded, putting in this information into the computer, as Haru slithered over to a bookcase containing rows upon rows of pokeballs. Gliding up the green painted steel didn't seem to be a problem for the snake, although there was a feeling of gravity being laughed at. The purple reptile glided among the round spheres, finally picking one up by his tail and tossing it toward Faust. It landed on the floor seven feet away from the new trainer with a loud clang. Haru, on the other side of the room at the computer, finished pushing buttons, and waited for a moment as the computer dinged. <Alright, your group two starter is an onix, and your group three starter is a shellder,> Hana informed Faust easily, before slipping out of the chair. <I'll just be a moment. Help yourself to your pokedex. Haru can give you advice about the Routes that lead from this lab if you are interested.>

(......Rookies....>.>)
Faust took a few steps forward and leaned over to pick up the pokeball. He stared at it for a few moments. His first pokemon.
The new trainer's head snapped up as Hana told him of his other two pokemon, which were to be an Onix and a Shellder. He furrowed his brows in disappointment at not getting one of the pokemon he really wanted to start out with. Then again, he was hoping to capture a Onix, so it wasn't too bad. He gave another warm smile to Hana's retreating tail. "Those two should be fine."
Faust turned and started to walk towards the box holding the pokedex, but being the cluts that he is, managed to trip over his own feet. "Whoa!" He fell for the fifth time that day and he had a feeling it wasn't the last. He rasied a hand up from his posititon on the floor, just in case Haru didn't see him. "I'm okay." He got up slowly, groaning, and made it the last few feet without inccident. Peering into the box, he saw a white pokedex he liked and picked it up. Looking it over for a minute, he placed it in his back pocket and looked over to where Haru was with a smile. "So how about those Route choices, now."

((<.< Yeah. But this place is all about getting better with RPing, so we put up with it.))
<Well, Jenta has been split into three separate mini regions, each containing pokemon of certain levels. If you take route one, you'll be in the region filled with group one pokemon, who are leveled from level one to 24. The first gym in this region is Arisa's ice type gym in Sapphire City. I wouldn't recommend starting off with her, unless you want a real challenge. Arisa doesn't like people who try to face her with fire types, and often will destroy them with the water/ice types she favors,> Haru explained, as he slithered over to a map by the door, and jabbed his tail at a wooded route following a stream.
<The route that leads you into the group two region is route three. The pokemon found here are all between level 25 and 44. Route Three as quite a lot of variety in terrain, so you can catch some interesting types if you want. The first gym leader in the area is Botan of Florak. She is a grass type trainer, which might make it hard on your onix, but her weakness is that she doesn't have pokemon with very good defense, and an onix in combination with two other pokemon that are strong attackers might fare very well in that gym. Also, your onix would definitely have an advantage against the second gym leader of the region, Corwin, our local dragon master,> Haru told Faust, before pointing at the mountain ranges that slopped up to the north of the region.
<Finally, we have the group three area. The pokemon here are very strong, level 45 to 100. You wuld do very well against the first gym, there, I think. Bahti's a steel type trainer, but all of her pokemon are weak to water attacks due to their dual types. Your shelder with a strong fire type and a back up with good stamina would be very likely to win in that gym,> Haru nodded, and then breathed out, his speech over. <Well, do you have any questions? I can get your items for you if you don't.>
He began to slither over to the central desk of the room, and the boxes stacked underneath the flimsy affair, when there was a soft clunk, and a rolling sound. Hana came out of an open door, nudging two pokeballs along with her nose. One had a rock with sand whipping around it etched on the red top by what looked as though it might have been acid. The second one had the simpler water drop symbol of water type pokemon.
<Hello again, I have the rest of your starter set right here,> Hana told Faust, raising her head for him.
~~~
((Now for the stuff that you can copy and paste into your application about your pokies. If you have any questions Faust should ask them now, 'cause the next post is basically going to consist of Haru giving Faust the items he gets gratis, and then being shoved out the door if you have no questions.
Oh, and are you interested in a pokemon egg? Your RPing skills have qualified you for Professor Cherry's roulette of eggdom.))
YOUR POKEMON:
Group One Charmander Name: ? ? ? Gender: Male Level: 5 Attacks: Scratch, Leer Special Ability: Blaze - The power of fire moves increases dramatically when this pokemon is in danger of losing Personality: He's brave, and will stand up to anything. Massive dragonite about to devastate the local town? Pfft. He'll stop it. He has a slight addiction to "underdog" type stories and movies. He wants to stand up for the little guy -- which is good, he figures, as most of the time he is the little guy.
Group Two Onix Name: ? ? ? Gender: Male Level: 25 Attacks: Screech, Slam, Rock Throw, Sandstorm Special Ability: Rock Head - Prevents recoil damage Personality: He's loyal to rock type pokemon, and trainers. He hates to hear about mining disasters, and wishes that people would stop verbally attacking aron for the collapse of bridges. Very socially concious, he wants to protect all that is dear to him.
Group Three Shellder Name: ? ? ? Gender: Male Level: 45 Attacks: Brine, Aurora Beam, Supersonic, Tackle Special Ability: Skill Link - Multi-hit moves strike the maximum amount of turns Personality: He's fairly defensive about everything. He doesn't like to open up much because if he does someone might catch onto the fact that he actually is a nice guy and then he'd have to be sociable. Oh horrors.

(My RP skills better make me qu-er....I mean Yes, I would like a pokemon egg. ;D)
Faust walked over to Hana and the balls before he turned to Haru. "I do have one question..." He took a brief moment to turn again and pick up the two pokeballs, and smiled at Hana. "Thank you." He looked over to Haru again holding them one in each hand. "What type of pokemon are in Route 1? If I capture any there will they help me against the Gym Leader? I'll pick that route if there are, if not I'll take Route 3."

Hana paused. "<Well, there are a lot of bug-typesss and normal-typesss. However, sssince people were having trouble againssst Arisssa, the professsor helped introduce wild shinx, pachirisssu, and mankey. One of them as well as a normal-type or sssomething without a water or ice weaknesss should work well as a lead against Arisssa, with your charmander as the anchor. She'sss got a ssseel and a laprasss you may want to look out for.>"
Haru gave Faust a quick once-over, then slithered out of the room. He returned tragging a cart with the end of his tail, and brought it over to the fledgling trainer. "<Our dear Professsor Cherry told usss to give out an egg to any trainersss we felt could handle it. You look relatively qualified, ssso would you like to try raisssing an egg? We don't know what'sss inssside any of them, ssso you'll have to be okay with whatever comesss out. If you want one, pick one.>"
The cart had two shelves, one on the top and one on the bottom. Each shelf held three numbered eggs, each inside an individual incubating egg-holder. The top shelf housed eggs 1 - 3, while the bottom displayed eggs 4 - 6.
Egg 1 was plain white, save for a black stripe across the middle and a purple spot at the very top.
Egg 2 sort of had a tye-dye appearance of light blue and light green.
Egg 3 was pink with a few blue and black splotches scattered across the shell.
Egg 4 had a metallic sheen, and a yellow zig-zag pattern shot down one side, while a light blue stripe curved down the other.
Egg 5 was competely purple, and a bit smaller than all the others.
Egg 6 was the largest, and had a deep blue color with a few white spots.
((The color of the egg may or may not have anything to do with what's inside. XD)

He looked over to Hana who answered his question. Listening intently and nodding. "I guess I'll try Route 1 then."
Curious about the eggs that the Ekans dragged towards him, Faust looked them over. "I guess I'll try my luck with an egg.......I think this one." He leaned down and pulled out number 4 egg. Rising, he looked at stared at it, then it slipped from his hands. "GAH!!!" Franticly he juggled the fumbled egg in the air with both hands grasping for it. Finally when it it feel to shouder level he made a grab for it with both hand and caught it between his arms and his chest. He held there breathing heavy for a few moments and gave a weak smile. "I uh, think I should put this in my bag now." He carefully held the egg in one hand and took off his bag with the other, placing the egg mindfull of what it contained into the bag and zipped it shut before putting back on his back. He looked at the two Ekans. "Um, by the way..........did you two, um, develop lisps a few moments ago?"

((...No...that's just cuz Mori-chan and I write Haru and Hana differently. *headdesk*))
"<No, I don't know what you're talking about,>" Haru hissed, glaring at the boy. "<Have a nice journey, now. Make sure to not be an idiot, and don't begin your battle at the gym with a fire-type, rock-type, ground-type, or flying-type. Other than that, you may leave.>"

(I've seen that you do give the two Ekans a snake lisp in your post, but my character of course wouldn't know. So when they started talking with one....)
A sweat drop formed on the back of Faust's head as he gave a weak smile.
...Make sure not to be an idoit? Whats that suppose to mean?...
He also wondered if he just imagened the lisp he thought he heard a second ago. That thought was pushed away as something else crossed his mind. "Wait a minute, what happened to those items you said you were getting?" He turned to Haru, confused.

((Did...argh! Did Mori-chan forget to give you the starter pack? >_<+))
Hana slithered off to the back, and returned with a package. She handed it over to the trainer, and nodded at it. "<Inside you will find a bag of berries for healing, a wallet with 5000 pyen, your Pokedex, and five empty Pokeballs. There are also the three Pokeballs of your starters in there somewhere.>"
((*headdesk*))

(-Wags finger at Neko- Somebody didn't read the other post. I already have the pokedex (White) in my back pocket and the three pokeballs (Umm...assume I put them on my side since I really didn't RP putting them anywhere ....*cough*.)Faust picked up the package with a smile and opened it. He shouldered his backpack to one side and opened it, putting the bag of berries and two of the empty pokeballs inside then zipped it up. He put the three other empty ball on his side with his starters then finally put the wallet in his free back pocket. "Well, it looks like I'm already to go. Thank you so much for getting me started." He smiled and gave both Haru and Hanna a nod for their help. He turned and walked to the door, opening it and leaving the lab. Walking down the path away from the Professor Cherry's home, Faust knew this was the beginning of something great. "Gaah!" Then he tripped over rock. The same one he tripped over when he first came here and fell flat on his face.....again. "...Ooooow..." Groaning, the cluts of a trainer got up and started walking again. "Well...at least I brought a lot of bandaids..." He gave another weak smile to himself, not feeling any comfort from the fact.

I haven't been super trying hard...and I guess Mori-chan and I just do the lab threads reeeeeaaaaaally differently. I'll be sure to simply ignore any lab threads with Mori-chan in 'em unless they go un-updated for a really long time. *sigh*))
