{Onset of}Derek at the Lab{a Journey}

[veldinator877]

The trip on the boat had been fairly nice, there were a lot of passengers making the trip to Dianto, more so emphasizing how popular this region was. Smiling, Derek watched all of the fish Pokemon dancing across the sea surface, the water spouts surfacing from some unseen Pokemon. Land slowly crawled closer as the boat approached the dock of Chartreuse Town. After landing and tethering onto the dock, the Captain gave the high-sign and many people rushed off the ship. Hanging in the back, Derek was the last one off, stepping foot into Chartreuse Town.

It was a small, quaint town, but many new Trainers were crowding around, some talking, others resting. Surprisingly, the Lab wasn't very crowded at all, and Derek easily walked into the chrome painted building. The doors slid open smoothly and gave a breathe of sterilized air to anyone walking into the building. The walls were lined with posters of Type Charts, Starter Circles, and other random Pokemon related items. There were many desks, for writing and taking notes, and shelves were lined with pokeballs.

"Hello?" Derek called out, waiting for a response from one of aides to be alerted to his presence. He would wait, he wasn't in a rush, more so he wanted a Pokemon to call his own.

Alexis walked along the rows of shelves, running late, trying to get to the main entrance hall as soon as possible. When she got there, there was only one future trainer left; was she actually that late, or had only one arrived? The latter seemed a tad bit more likely, but that could have very well been because it was simply more preferable to her. The trainer had shaggy, dark, shoulder length hair, making way for an age-old prejudice into her mine almost immediately. She shrugged the feeling off and walked up to meet him, knowing that being prejudice towards any trainer was an offense that would lead to an immediate firing from Professor Willow. Ouch.

"I'm Professor Willow's newest aide, Alexis. And you are? I'm assuming you're here for a starter? If so, do you know who you'd like to have? We just got in new Pokemon, in case you haven't seen."

She asked, pulling out a revised list of the starter Pokemon. She held it forward for the boy to take in case he hadn't seen the updated list of starters. The Professor had just changed them a little while; it wouldn't have surprised her one bit if this boy had a Pokemon in mind that was no longer available for new trainers. The list had a picture of each Pokemon available and their Pokedex entry. The person who made the poster hadn't found out about the new Pokemon a half hour before the next wave of trainers was to arrive. He had been extremely rushed, and because of it, the poster appeared to be second-hand and poorly done. It was, however, laminated, and the pictures were somewhat high quality.

((Ew.))

((That's okay xD))

The assistant, coming in from somewhere else, the back way Derek guessed, seemed nice enough, offering up her name and a piece of paper with the choices for starter on it. Alexis had said that they had gotten a new set of starters in, and they were all displayed on the laminated list, if not a tad bit sloppily, but Derek had no mind to notice that now. His anticipation for a Pokemon overcame is observance as he looked on the sheet of paper, the crinkling noise being heard as he flipped over, seeing there was nothing on the back, then to the front again.

Chimchar and Charmander evolved into very powerful evolutions, but he wasn't really interested in a fire type, that was more of his dad's field of expertise. If anything, the Wingull would be cool, but Pelipper wasn't very good. Finally deciding on just letting them choose at random for him, as the choice was obviously to difficult for his short attention span, Derek said "I've decided I want you guys to randomize it. I can't decide." He chuckled softly, laughing at his own misdoings, then waited to see what the results would be.

Alexis nodded and pulled out her hand-held randomizer she'd received from the Professor just earlier that morning. She inserted a series of three passwords, set in '1' and '493', set the rarity maximum, then pressed a deep red button at the bottom of the small machine. Beep... A few seconds later, a Machop came up onto the screen. Alexis showed it to the trainer whose name was unknown to her, then walked off down a corridor, and turned into one of the sections of shelves. She pulled a pokeball down, got a light-brown colored bag and went back to the new trainer.

"Here you go, enjoy! This will be an interesting match - Machop's usually aren't starters. They're good Pokemon, though."

You received a Machop!

Smiling, saw what his new Pokemon would be, a Machop. They were strong hearted, and would sure to make a great starter. After Alexis fetched the pokeball containing the Machop, Derek said "Thanks, ma'am. Mine name is Derek by the way, so look for me on TV when I win the Dianto league." After saying this he was practically beaming, and retrieved his Machop and Items, then hit the Road.

((Wow, shortness))

Azul slowly walked in through the side door of the lab with the growlithe pups following behind him quickly. Unfortunately for poor little 'Derek', Azul had caught what he said. The Arcanine walked over quickly and sniffed him for a simply moment. Finally he sat down with a look of superiority. <I'm gonna kill you boy.> Oh that was his catch phrase now. He had a look on his face to match it. He knew that his master would never lose to such an arrogant boy.
