I hope I'm not doing something I'll regret immensely... The pessimistic thought echoed through Xela's head as she walked towards the lab in the region of Jenta. She couldn't stop thinking that something would go wrong, and her instincts were typically right.
"Oh well..." the trainer muttered. "I'll just have to forget about it. I'm here, and I suppose there's no reason to turn back just because I'm a little afraid of something. That's stupid..." She shook her head and sighed, closing her eyes. Silently, she opened her eyes again and began to knock on the door of the lab.

Professor Cherry did not open the door. In fact, he wasn't even on the ground floor of the labs - he was sick in bed in the private quarters of the large building. A snake twirled the end of her tail around the doorknob, and opened it slowly. She poked her purple head out to see who it was, flicking her tongue at Xela to smell the air around the girl. "<A trainer?>" she hissed, pulling the door open more. "<Sssorry to sssay it, but Professsor Cherry isss in bed today, sssick as a growlithe.>" She grinned an ekansy grin, motioning with the end of her tail for Xela to come inside. "<Pleassse come in, misss. You're here for your ssstarter Pokemon, aren't you? By the way, my name isss Hana, and I am one of Professsor Cherry'sss darling pair of ekansss. My partner isss Haru, and he should be inssside, waiting for usss.>" Indeed, another ekans soon slithered up, flicking his forked tongue at Xela. "<You are Xela, isss that correct?>" he hissed, giving the teen a once-over. "<Well, if you are, then you're here to get your Pokemon. Do you know about the Jenta group sssyssstem? If not, pleassse read this pamphlet,>" he hissed, sliding a pamphlet over the floor to the girl. "<The basssicsss are thisss: You are allowed to carry ten Pokemon at once, and each Pokemon fitsss into one of three groupsss. The groupsss are determined by level. You are required to keep at least one Pokemon from each group on you at all timesss.>" Hana nodded. "<Ssso that'sss why you receive three Pokemon here. One will be a level 5 Group 1 Pokemon, one will be a level 25 Group 2 Pokemon, and one will be a level 45 Group 3 Pokemon. You may pick the Group 1 Pokemon from the Pokemon we offer, and the other two will be random. They're generated by a computer to match your Group 1 ssstarter, ssso pleassse don't complain if you don't get an all dragon team, or sssomething.>" She jabbed the end of her tail at a paper tacked up on the wall. "<Thossse are the Pokemon we offer as Group 1 ssstartersss.>" (( The pamphlet on the group system.The list of the Group 1 starters.Sorry if it's confusing. Jenta's kinda weird. ^_^;; ))

"Oh, greeted by Ekans..." Xela said, smiling a bit. "Wonderful. I love snake Pokemon, and Poison as well..." She nodded and looked at the list of Group 1 Pokemon, glad that she could understand Pokemon, and glad that the pair were Pokemon she rather liked.
"Ekans, is a Group 1 Starter, eh?" the trainer asked. "I believe I should like to have an Ekans in my team. I'll choose Ekans as my Group 1Starter, please." The girl smiled at the two Ekans as she spoke.
(( Woah... I used "Ekans" a lot in that post... O-O Frightening. But they ARE one of my favorite Pokemon, really only just lower on the list than Salamance (number 2) and Absol (My favoritest ever!). Anywho... It's not too confusing, and I'm glad I get to carry around more Pokemon than on most other rp sites. ^^ ))

Both snakes grinned. "<You like ekansss, do you?>" Hana hissed. "<Perfect. Isss there any sssort of gender or persssonality you're looking for? Or would you jussst like to meet a couple?>"
"<Alssso,>" Haru cut in, dragging over a box filled with Pokedexes. "<You need to pick a color for your Pokedex. You will use your Pokedex to get updatesss on how your Pokemon grow. The colors we offer right now are red, orange, yellow, green, light blue, dark blue, purple, and black. If you don't like your color, paint it or sssomething.>"

"Well I would like a male Ekans," Xela said. "And I want one that'll prove to be at least a bit of a challenge to train." She paused and thought a moment. "As for my Pokedex, I'd like a black one."
(( Rk. Sorry for the short post, but it's dinnertime, and I haven't had anything to eat today, so... Also I've wasted a majority of daily creativity... I find that the more I write, draw, and sprite, the less creativity I have left after each creative activity... Eheh... ^^; So, REALLY sorry for the short post. ))

((That's okay. The minimum you're supposed to write is three sentences, and you did, so that's fine. SOME people find it hard to squeeze out just three...>_< And this is your Lab Post of Doom, so be very wary...'tis super long.))
Hana rolled her eyes. "<I have jussst the one that fitsss that dessscription.>" She then looked at Haru. "<Give me the black Pokedex, I'll get her ssstarter ssset all sssquared away.>"
The other ekans grabbed the Pokedex daintily in his mouth, and tossed it over to Hana. She whipped her tail out to snatch it out of the air, nodded to her cohort, and slithered into the back room.
She came out with a brown paper bag hanging from her teeth, and she promptly placed the bag in front of Xela. Haru gestured toward the bag. "<That'sss your ssstarter ssset. Inssside you'll find your fully-programmed black Pokedex, a bag of berriesss for healing on the road, a wallet with 5000 pyen, five empty Pokeballsss, and three filled onesss. Inside one of the filled Pokeballsss will be your Group 1 starter - the ekansss you asked for, and the other two will have your other ssstartersss.>"
Hana then led Xela over to a map of Jenta, and prodded the dot marked "Jenta Laboratory" with the end of her long tail. "<Thisss is where we are right now. As you can sssee, there are three roadsss leading away from the laboratory. You may choose any one of these three as your firssst route.>"
"<The eassst route, Route 1, leadsss to Sapphire City. You will use your ekansss to battle and catch Group 1 Pokemon. Your other two Pokemon may not be used, though you may let them out to talk to or sssomething. The firssst gym is Arisssa's ice-type gym. You'll need to catch sssomething to give you an advantage here, sssince your ekansss is pretty neutral with typesss.>"
"<The sssouthbound route isss Route 3, which goesss to Florak Town, where Botan has a grasss-type gym. Along the way you'll use your burmy, ssso that may be good. You will battle and catch Group 2 Pokemon here, ssso plan to use your other two ssstartersss later.>"
"<The lassst choice isss Route 5, which takesss you north to the mountainsss. The toughessst Pokemon on the Jenta island live here, but your meditite should be able to hold her own. She also has a good advantage againssst Bahati's sssteel-types in the gym, and if you back her up with a fire-type or ground-type along the way, thisss should be a good route to ssstart with.>"
The two ekans nodded, their yellow eyes glinting. "<Any more quessstionsss, or should we bid you farewell?>"
((Alright!
Anyway, here are the stats for your Pokemon. Please copy + paste them into your character's profile (that's the application form you used for her), and keep them up-to-date with any changes:
Ekans Gender: male Level: 5 Group: 1 Nickname: you choose Ability: Intimidate: lowers foe's attack power when brought into battle Attacks: Wrap, Leer, Poison Sting Personality: If he were a teenager, he'd be "at risk". He barely listens to his trainer, always talks back, and sort of overdoes it when battling. Currently he's very angry at the world, and all his attacks are blind power. He needs a talented trainer to work him into a functioning person (as well as a well-abled battler), though it will be a long process.
Burmy Gender: female Level: 25 Group: 2 Nickname: you choose Ability: Shed Skin: 3/10 chance of being cured of a status condition each turn Attacks: Protect, Tackle, Hidden Power (dragon) Personality: Very sweet, but painfully shy. She's willing to battle, but gets very flustered if she has to talk with anyone. Luckily, she trusts Xela...but her other teammates sort of scare her. She's also a bit nervous about evolving, since she's not sure what will happen (like, which form of wormadam she'll evolve into.)
Meditite Gender: female Level: 45 Group: 3 Nickname: you choose Ability: Pure Power: Ups attack power, but cuts in half if ability is changed (like with Skill Swap) Attacks: Hi Jump Kick, Psycho Cut, Hidden Power (electric), Bide Personality: A bit stuck-up. She thinks she's smarter, stronger, and more beautiful than anybody else in the world. However, if she thinks your her friend, she's also the best friend in the world - if you like gossip or fashion or something.
Remember: all personalities change over time, but they don't change right away. You can have character development...but your ekans won't turn into a loyal, loving companion by the time you're halfway to your first town. *coughcoughothermembers*
Have fun, and sorry this took so long! ^_^))

"I think I'm good to go," Xela said, smiling. "I suppose I might have the good fortune to see you two later, but good fortune does not typically fall upon me, except when training Pokemon. And then it's more talent than fortune. Anyways..." She paused, picking up the paper bag.. "Goodbye, even if only for a little while." Silently, then she turned and left the lab, shifting a black backpack from off of her shoulder into her freehand, then carefully set the paper bag inside of it. She would organize everything later. Before the door slid shut she could be heard mumbling something about "Route 1," and "Fire Pokemon."
(( Oy, yay! I met standard. And I understand that I can't change their personalities drastically after like... My first day with them or something. I usually don't even change their personalities too much even near the end of the region. Like with an Absol I got in an event. He was a sarcastic little bugger, and didn't obey my trainer, and at the end of the region he was still a sarcastic little bugger, and only most of the time obeyed my trainer. XD The only major changes for him were his level, and the fact that near the end of the region, the only snack he would eat anymore was peanut butter sandwiches. XD Anywho, I'll leave this thread now! ))
