Take a deep breath!

[Skyler Wing]

Shielding her head from the downpour with her arm, Skyler didn't really have time to say much of a goodbye to her mother's Fearow before it took off into the afternoon storm. She had picked a hell of a day to travel to a new region in the middle of a deluge, but this was the date she'd settled on with the Professor. It would be ridiculous of her to reschedule just because of a little rain. Besides, Skyler was far too excited about starting her new... "endeavor" would probably be the best term for it. Unfortunately her mom's Fearow was much less excited, and took off with a huff.

"Well, no point in standing in the rain!" she said to herself, taking off at a sprint on the path leading to the laboratory.

Not bothering to knock, she leapt in the door and shut it behind her to keep the rain out, pushing her drenched bangs out of her eyes before looking around. There was surprisingly no one in sight.

"Uh, hello? Sorry I came in without knocking or anything, but the weather's mad out there!" she called, not moving from her spot to avoid tracking the wetness onto the floor.

From a corner of the lab, a Suicune lazily opened one eye and stared at the girl. With a soft yawn, she crawled out from her sleeping spot and approached the new trainer, barking at her before leading the way to the back. Once there, she grabbed a notepad nearby in her mouth and brought it over to Skyler.

To whom it may concern,

I apologize for not being able to meet you in person, but I was called out of town on business. Ranny will be here to take care of any business you may have, within her own abilities. If you are here for your first Pokemon, keep in mind that trainers and racers may only pick one Pokemon while breeders and coordinators are allowed two. Feel free to take one of the mystery balls available if you wish, but any decision you make is final.

Best wishes,

Professor Conifer

While Skyler read the note, Ranny approached a playpen filled with sleeping Pokemon. Barking at them, they each began to wake up one by one and observed their potential new trainer.

[Skyler Wing]

Skyler heard a barely audible yawn from out back, and her jaw hit the floor when a Suicune trundled from the source of the noise. Master Takeshi had said that Legendary pokemon were common in these parts, but seeing one with her own eyes was incredible. As if it wanted her to follow it (duhhhh), the Suicune barked and lead the way to a note on a table out back.

As she read it, Skyler facepalmed.

"Welp, at least I was punctual," she chuckled, setting back in its place before turning to the Suicune. "You must be Ranny, huh? Well thanks!"

The Suicune responded by gesturing to a playpen and barking. Skyler peered over the side to see six toddling little pokemon fuzzily opening their eyes.

"Oh gosh, they're all so cute!" she practically squealed, a behavior much unbecoming of her usual composure. "As much as I'd like to just hook the playpen to me and drag it off, I guess you're not gonna let me do that, huh?"

She smiled at the Suicune before putting her hand on the random ball in the very middle.

"My Master always told me that if you only stick to the path laid before you, you'll only go where other want. So I'm gonna be a little daring. Pokeball go!"

And with all the bravado, she tossed the pokeball in the air and held her breath.

As the pokeball hit the ground, it popped open, releasing a small creature form inside who looked around curiously. Seeing Skyler, it ran over to her eagerly, bowing down on one knee before her. "Pawniard!" it said cheerfully, picking itself up and looking around at everything as if it may suddenly attack them. Barking at Skyler, Ranny lead her over towards a table where several bags were lined up, urging her to take one before leaving.

The Pokeball opened with a ray of light to reveal none other than... Pawniard!

[glow=red,2,300]"Pawniard!" [/glow] it chirped, dropping to a knee and promptly surveying the lab around them.

"Wow, aren't you just a marvel!" Skyler gasped, unsure of whether to touch it or not. This was her own, real Pokemon that was completely and totally hers! She's interacted and trained with plenty of Pokemon before, but never had one of her own! Did it like her? Could she touch it?

"I guess I'll save the touching for later, and give you a name," she pondered out loud, as Ranny showed her to a table filled with.... stuff.

After picking the backpack-type bag, and the pink Pokedex (some tomboy!), and stuffing her items into the bag, she (very, VERY cautiously) stroked the top of Ranny's head and thanked the creature a thousand times before dashing out of the lab with the Pawniard, all her usual self control lost in the moment.
