Neo watched as the doors closed. They were so smooth, so perfect. He was so mesmerized by their silvery-ness that he didn't hear the breeder's question about this being his floor. Down, down, down, down. Neo smiled. As long as they were in the elevator, they were safe.
Work? He knew how to work. Neo looked the breeder up and down, as if deciding whether or not she really could be trusted. "Okay," he finally agreed. If he had a job, he'd blend right in with the other citizens of Kantex...at least he hoped. |

Xanthe turned and faced him, a serious but thoughtful expression coming upon her face.
"Well, you look as though you travel light. How about I give you a few minutes to get ready? If at the moment you're preoccupied, I can send someone here to collect you."
She played with her golden bangles as she spoke, her green dress catching the elevators plastic light. This environment didn't give her natural beauty justice. |

Travel light? The boy had been sticking to the darkness lately; always traveling at night. He was about to tell the breeder this, but decided against it at the last moment. Neo was not familiar with this figure of speech (or many others, for that matter.)
"I'm, uh, ready whenever you are," Neo said, pushing his golden brown hair away from his face. One would think that his year of wearing the eyepatch would make him immune to any facial annoyances and to a certain extent, it did. Neo's hair-pushing was more out of habit than anything. Feeling the need to explain himself further, he added, "I, uh, this is all that I have." He motioned to the limp bag that was hanging from his back which contained the items he had recieved at the lab. |

"Well then, if we both sign out of here, we can be on our way!" Xanthe said clapping her ands together. "I have Leafsong with me. She'll get us to Eruca in no time!"
DING! The floor to the lobby opened and Xanthe stepped out looking at Neo. Who knew so much could happen in an elevator in such a small amount of time? |

"Okay," Neo agreed, though he wasn't quite sure what the Breeder was babbling about. The boy had a hard time tracking conversations, especially in this new place. The people spoke some kind of weird dialect, or perhaps it was his English that was strange.
Neo followed Xanthe out of the elevator. He once again took in the vastness and beauty of the main lobby. It was truly amazing. He would never forget this place, even after being here for such a short time.

Xanthe glided over the shiny marble floor towards the checkout. The chandelier of the foyer cast a romantic golden light over the mahogany furniture.
She requested the signout book, signed it and payed for her accommodation...
"N- for nuzleaf... Neon?... Neo! Ok. Neo, Neo, Neo..." She muttered to herself as she was hoping to mark off Neo's name.
"Wow! You didn't come signed here under Kass's- you did! Wow! You've seen Professor Kass and Professor Gravon?" Xanthe said, looking dumbstruck at Neo. |

"Um, well, no, actually, only her, uh, Pokemon, yeah," Neo stuttered. His face turned bright red, realizing he probably looked guilty as sin. But he hadn't used her name illegally, right? Her Pokemon had helped him. Or was that even legal, for a pokemon to use their trainer's name? Especially Professor Kass, who was obviously very important by the Xanthe's response to seeing her name. He should run. Before anything else happened. Before they locked him up forever, enslaved him, or even worse, sent him back to where he had come from. The teen glanced around, trying to find a suitable exit. But there were people and pokemon guarding everything, everywhere, everywhere, everywhere, everywhere, Neo began to feel dizzy, very dizzy. An overwhelming exhaustion swept over him, over him, over him. He was about to dart for the nearest exit, but fell to the ground instead. Fainted? No. Neo began to jerk around wildly for a moment, then lay still. Seizure. |

"Oh, poor dear!" Xanthe stammered. The man behind the counter quickly picked up the phone and started dialling for the hospital.
Xanthe however flicked from behind her ear, a business card which landed straight in front of the man. She motioned that she will look after the collapsed boy.
She picked him and she released Leafsong. She climbed her tropius and sat Neo in front of her.
"To the Eruca Farms, right away Leafsong!" She commanded her Tropius...

The sun was shining brightly into Neo's eyes. He lay on an organic bed made of banana leaves. Sheets weaved together with another form of plant-leaf material. The room was quite dark, but carried a beautiful but heavy smell of coriander and cinnamon. A round woman sat beside Neo's bed ready to aide him when he awoke...
Anytime soon. The used herbal remedies lay beside the bed. |

Neo sneezed; the odors made his nose itch. At the same time as the sneeze, Neo's eyes opened. He instantly closed him when all of his rods and cones were met with the color of the sun. Not the most pleasant thing to jerk you awake. A few moments later, he opened his eyes again, this time more slowly.
The boy let out a soft groan as he took in his surroundings. His head still hurt where he had bumped it during the fall, making Neo feel just a little dizzy. The boy slapped his arms around the bed, feeling the bannana leaves which lined it, then turned his head to see the round woman sitting beside him. What was she doing here? As always, Neo's first instinct was to run. But that was nearly impossible now. And the woman didn't look that mean.
"Where am I?" Neo asked, for lack of a more inspiring phrase. |

Umm... We should start a new thread at the Eruca Breeding Farm board... |
