A young woman named Sarah runs the Adoption Center. The Pokemon were all once hers, were abandoned or were donated by other trainers or by the Dianto lab. She can usually be found at the back of the entrance hall, sitting at her desk, writing something, or in the field.
Behind her desk sits a wall full of pokeballs, most of which seemed to be empty. Through a window on the left side, a field three or four times the size of the large building was visible.There was a forest, a lake, other places, and even mountains could be made out in the distance. There seemed to be a habitat for every sort of Pokemon there was. A door leads out to the field; if she's not in the building, perhaps you should check for her out there.

"So, this is the so-called Adoption Centre..." A boy of 17 said as he walked in. The Pidgey on his shoulder said nothing, as prior to this trip, she'd just learned how to fly and was therefore exausted. The...barn was it...was large. And it seemed that outside, there was a multitude of habitats for the different pokemon living there at the time.

As he walked, and didn't appear to see anyone running the place, he turned towards what he guessed to be an area devoted to flying types. While he turned, one pokemon caught his gaze, partially because of it's extravagant color. It was in a slightly wooded section, probably devoted to bug and forest pokemon and made to resemble a forest. The Cascoon, though a bug, would evolve into a Beautifly, a flying type and it's excellent color would score high in a contest.

He made his way towards the edge of the small forest, eager to get a closer look at the rare pokemon, careful to stay clear in case it had attack that were either Physical or long distance. It's beauty was remarkable, but why would it be here at an adoption centre?

[Alaina]

Sarah stood up from the food bowls for the Seel. The one with a ribbon around its neck, signaling that it was up for adoption, waited patiently until the first few were done feeding, then rushed forward. She stroked Seel with great pride, then turned to go and feed her Tauros herd. That was always an interesting experience. Something caught her eye, though - another human. She hadn't been very social recently, as the Adoption Center had been taking up a good portion of her time. Curiosity over why they were there, as the adoptable Pokemon had been put up less than an hour before, and fear that they were going to steal one of her beloved Pokemon, intrigued her to approach them.

"Excuse me, can I help you?"

She asked, walking towards the forest. Her voice was surprisingly loud for someone who hadn't talked to any people in a long time. She followed the person's gaze to Shimmer and understood. She had figured that she'd be one of the first to go.

[Day-chan]

"I believe you may be able to..." Hurin started, in a similar manner as he had with the Professor. "I'm persuing the path of a pokemon Coordinator, and your Cascoon here has caught me eye. It's color is simply divine, I would not be able to imagine the expirence it would be able to get in a contest. The world would love..." He looked towards the Cascoon again, looking for a sign of gender. Seeing none visible, he guessed. "Her."

He looked the woman over, though probably shorter than him, she seemed nice enough. Perhaps he was putting on too much of a facade for someone like her. "My name's Hurin, and you are...?" He trailed off, hoping for her to finish his sentence.

[Alaina]

((It's a Silcoon, actually ^^))

A chuckle passed her lips as she saw the boy try and guess Shimmer's gender. She nodded at his words, then spoke.

"Sarah. And lucky guess - her name's Shimmer. Yes, she'd be an excellent contest Pokemon, providing you can gain her loyalty and make her evolve somehow. Professor Willow mentioned he'd seen a lot of coordinators passing by, so I decided to put her up to help out."

She nodded again and walked forward, stroking the Silcoon. Shimmer had seemed nervous by the presence of the strange trainer, but calmed down when Sarah approached. They hadn't interacted much, but the Silcoon knew her, she was fed by her, and was safe from predators around her; that was enough for trust. The girl, however, was careful to not gain the loyalty of any pokemon that were, or would or could be up for adoption eventually.

[Day-chan]

(...I can't tell the difference well...or maybe I'm jsut an idiot...)

The boy nodded slowly. "Sarah, almost as pretty as this gold colored Silcoon Due to the disturbance on his shoulder when nodding, the small Pidgey awoke from her slumber. She moved her wings, but with still numb muscles, she wasn't able to fly again yet. She sighed and looked around, this certainly wasn't where she'd falled asleep. However, Hurin seemed busy, so in light of dis-earning his approval, she said nothing.

"Such a lovely name, Glimmer is." He knelt down so that he sat cross legged on the ground. Gaining a pokemon's trust was not one of his strong points, but he did understand that she may have been abused in the past. He expected pokemon to prove to him that they were valuable, but with this one, would he accually have to give..a compliment? "Glimmer?" He asked, addressing the pokemon this time. "Would you like to travel around Dianto with me and this little Pidgey here?" He asked, keeping his voice smooth and calm.

[Alaina]

((According to Serebii, the only difference is that Shiny Cascoon are green, and they look up. o.o;;; So yah. Wouldn't really expect you to be able to tell xD))

Glimmer looked slightly unsettled, but Sarah stepped back to see if the two would work. Slowly at first, the Silcoon got accustomed to the new trainer's presence. Sarah nodded, then walked forward a few steps to more carefully observe their first meeting. Her eyes, well educated in the way of picking out sick, unhealthy, bloated, hungry and tired Pokemon, fell on the exhausted Pidgey. Concern floated up; she hated to see any Pokemon tired out, whatever the reason. Of course, that would happen to all those who were adopted. That was a fact of life she'd have to adjust to in the end, anyway.

"Well, would you like to take her?"

She asked Hurin, though her eyes remained on the Pidgey. After a few moments, she couldn't resist and her hand reached into one of the pockets on her apron and pulled out a Super Potion. She sprayed it on the Pidgey, healing it instantly.

[Day-chan]

Hurin nodded as the Silcoon appeared to get used to his presence. He tenetivly reache dout a hand to stroke the immoble bug pokemon, brushing it's silk covered body with his fingertips. "Yeah, I would like to adopt her, if she doesn't mind, of course."

Dyra yawned...she felt refreshed, but also felt that it wasn't her place to tell him that adopting a pokemon might not be the best thing. She was still curious about what he meant by perfection, and her interrupting his speeched was probably not exactly what he sought in his pokemon.

(Sorry for the shortness, I'm short on time...Sundays are busy days for me.)

[Alaina]

Sarah smiled and walked into the main building. She returned a few minutes later with a pokeball, and a bag of food for Glimmer.
