Vera practically raced up the dry dirt road, stuffing her pretty Articuno-designed wings into her backback. The fake tail, which was had been dragging in the dust, was also stuffed as she ran. The big building had come into view.
Skidding to a halt in front of two broad doors, Vera threw down her backback and knocked repeatedly. Today was the day; after ages of waiting, she finally got her own pokemon and could start training!
(ooc: Vera's role model in life is the legendary bird, but she is not a morph. She just enjoys dressing like it - she's a major pokefan.)

[ooc: Whoops! I would read the Rules first and post Vera's profile in the Character Profiles section before posting here. c:]

A rather confused looking man opened the door. He looked as though he hadn't slept in hours- his hair was a mess, his face unshaven. A small piece of plastic hung from the sleeve of a burgundy sweater. The pockets of his pants were stuffed with who-knows-what; only a ruler, a few pens, and a notebook were recognizable.
"Hello," the man said, simultaneously scratching the mess of hairs on his face, "Could I help you?"
ooc|| Meet Kameron. My professor character...one of two I am in the process of creating. xD

Vera just stared at the man for a minute; he was certainly not what she had expected. Then she said, "Yes. I'm here to get my first pokemon!" Then she hesitated, and asked, "Do you have any available?"

The man laughed, though it was unclear as to what it meant. He was obviously exhausted, and the girl's question seemed to amuse him. When he finally stopped, he looked a bit embarrassed. "Sorry, I haven't slept in quite some time." No kidding.
<Well, if you'd put down Halo for five seconds and actually lay down for a moment to get some sleep...seriously. Video games won't disappear in the time it takes for you to get a bit of shut-eye.> The voice came from a Sandshrew, who had entered, carrying a clipboard. She gave the man a look of dissatisfaction, and perhaps even pity before turning her attention to Vera. <I'm sorry about that. Kam and Barb just arrived here a couple of nights ago. Please excuse the mess.> Now that she mentioned it, there were all sorts of boxes in the lab. <Now, what type of pokemon would you like?> the pokemon asked, tapping her pencil to the clipboard.

Vera gaped at the Sandshrew. She hadn't given a moment's thought to what type of pokemon she wanted, setting her sights on getting one in general. She paused, then asked, "Could you give me a minute?" Staying within sight of the doors, Vera walked down a couple of steps and sat down on some cold white concrete. There was Flint, a great Elite Four member who earned his status by means of a fire-type rapidash....Though Vera thought a ponyta would be to advanced for her. Water types could learn a lot of HMs, though, and she did love those cute little piplups. Suddenly Vera had a stroke of brilliance. Why have a base pokemon type - fire, water, grass?
She went back to the sandshrew, a grin replacing her furrowed brow. "Can I have a shinx, please?" She asked, crossing her fingers behind her back. She remembered someone she had seen in the local contests behind her house, who had a gorgeous, full-grown level 51 luxray. Could she train a shinx to that level, eventually?

<A Shinx?> the Sandshrew asked, <An interesting choice for a beginning trainer.> The pokemon paused as she wrote something down on her clip board. <But a very good choice- unique, shows that you thought this out a bit, always a good trait to see in future trainers.> She scribbled some more on her pad. <Now, Kam, if you'd kindly get this girl her pokemon. Kam?> The pokemon sighed. Professor Kam had fallen asleep on the couch. <Well, it's about time,> she muttered to herself before walking towards the back of the lab. <Don't worry about him, I'll get you your pokemon. It will just be a second.> A crash. <Oh dear. This mess. How can they live like this?> The Sandshrew came back, pokeball in hand. Vera received Shinx!Name: --- Gender: --- Level: 5 Attacks: Tackle, Leer Persona: Picky Ability: Rivalry <And don't forget to pick up a starter pack on your way out...assuming you can find it in this mess.>

(Name - Sparky. Gender - Male.)
Vera laughed with glee, taking the pokeball and holding it close. On the way out she picked up a starter pack and looked inside. She gasped - inside where pokeballs, potions, money, and her own pokedex and pokenav! She was a real pokemon trainer now! "Thank you so much," she said to teh Sandshrew. "Oh, and you too, Professor Kam." Though of course, he was sleeping.
Vera raced back outside and headed for Route 1. Time to begin bonding with her very first pokemon!
