Jack's eyes burned form some many flashes of the camera. "Boys give Jack a hug. It might be months before our little Jack returns home." James Jasper and Jared Squeezed the youngest member of their family hard.
"Can't... breath...." Jack wheezed. They let go slowly. "I'll be fine guys all of you were."
John took Jack's bag and swung it up into the back of old rusty truck. "We have to leave now if we are going to reach Dust Town on time. Don't we want to let Jack have a pick of Pokemon and not get left with the leftovers?"
The other brothers went and stood next to their parents. Jack waved and stepped into the truck. Another camera flash went off.
As John and Jack drove through the long windy roads John lectured. "Don't let anyone push you into a Pokemon you don't think suites you.You pick what feels right. Don't hesitate. and call home at every town to lets us know you are alright."
Jack cut him off bitterly, "You didn't."
"No I didn't and you are NOT going to follow my example. Learn form your older brothers mistakes." Jack snorted. "And you did pack pants and shorts right not just skirts?"
"It's a skort. Jack flipped the skirt up the show the shorts under neath. I'm not that stupid."
Hours later they stopped on front of the largest building in Dust Town. John hugged his little sister tight and handed her her bag. "I can come in with you if you want."
"I'll be fine."
"You sure?"
"John... GET!" he started up the truck again but didn't leave until his little sister was gone from sight.

"Ugh. Damn boat rides."
Sickening, that's what it was. Those travel agents couldn't make any sort of decent travel accommodations for himself, so Edric had spent the last day on a ship, can you believe it, a dingy, old ship all the way from Sinnoh to get to this stinking little Dust Town to start his fantastic journey as a pokemon breeder. Great.
But really, Edric was feeling quite a but ill. Just because his college major had all to do with the ocean doesn't mean he had to like it. And for the most part, he didn't. But at least he was finally here. Here at the professors lab and-!
There was someone else here. A young girl. A little girl was standing in front of the lab. Where he should be. This was just. his. luck.
He scoffed and approached the door himself. He had to make the most of this situation somehow.

Jack didn't even notice the man until she entered and called out to the Professor. With how soon he entered she had the sneaking suspicion that she had closed the door in his face.
He wore an angry scowl on his face and looked more then a bit green. She positioned herself away form him in case he decided to heave. Privately she hoped he did. He had no reason to glare at her like that.
A voice called out from the back and Jack dismissed the man from her mind in the prospected of getting her first Pokemon.

"Of all the spoiled, rude, careless things.." Edric swung the door open with much emphasis as he muttered away, quite displeased he had just had the door slammed in his face. Who did that girl think she was anyways?
Oh there goes the stomach again.
Professor Conifer welcomed them both in without much extra chitchat, cutting right to the chase. Edric appreciated that, as he didn't know how much extra time he was really willing to spare at the moment. He noticed the girl who had shut the door on him standing a bit off towards the corner. Whatever. he thought miserably.
His mood improved only slightly when the professor finished due to the now very apparent fact he was getting a few pokemon. He glanced off to the girl from the corner of his eye, knowing that he should be all chivalrous, let ladies go first, yadda yadda, but she had shut the door in his face and he wanted a pokemon important enough to be worth his while, and he had his eye on the Zorua.
"I'd like that one, Professor." He spoke up first. "And a mystery ball." Turning to the girl he decided to address her. "What about you? Going to get something cute and fitting for a girl?"

She gave him a scathing glare. Who the H@** did he think he was!!!!!
$%&^@)(&!!!!! Now she really hoped he vomited all over himself. Preferable after she kicked him in the jewels. "Excuse me" she smile frostily. "I don't think you read the rules. They clearly state first come first serve." She drew the letter out of her pocket and held it out to him. "Paragraph two. And I happen to know I was here a good ten minutes before you. I always arrive ten minutes early to everything."
She headed over to the table of Pokemon. She looked at the Bulbasaur first. It looked very healthy but was sleeping soundly, there was no way to tell how much energy it had. She needed one with a lot to keep up with her. The Totedile had a huge glare on its face. Larvatar was ignoring her and the Piplup was hiding behind the others. None of those would do.
That left Torchic and Zorua. She held out a hand to each. Torchic stared, but Zorua jumped and climbed on her shoulder. "I guess I choose you. And a mystery ball please."

Why that little-! Who the hell did she think she was? Um, Edric was pretty sure she hadn't been waiting at the door a whole ten friggin minutes prior to Professor Conifer opening it. And she was the one who had slammed the door in his face for god's sake!
Whatever. She'd regret that later. Edric huffed a bit, adjusted his scarf and decided he would be the mature one in the situation. He wasn't going to throw a hissy fit just or cause a problem just because he wasn't getting what he wanted. He was above that.
Turning to Professor he continued on coolly. "Well then. I suppose I'll take the... Larvitar and a mystery ball. Since someone is so keen on being a bit boorish." Only the last of Edric's words was dripping with the slightest icy tone of accusation.

Jack Rolled her eyes. "How good of you to recognize your faults." she smiled a surgery sweet smile.
Zorua snickered and tangled into her brown hair clearly liking this trainer. "You know this red on your fur is very vibrant. I think I'll call you Scarlet."

"Two mystery balls too? Alright then, let's see what kind of surprise we have in store for us!" Professor Conifer stated, standing back to see what emerged from the red light.
First, a simply huge tan form emerged, her paws sitting upon her sides as she began shaking her head at her new trainer. No no no, that simply wouldn't do. Sighing, the Kangaskahn slowly walked over to Edric and began fixing his shirt, also picking up his Larvitar and setting him down in a more organized manner. Yes... that would do. Meanwhile, the other beam of light had already faded and left behind a tall stature of white and red fur, the pokemon's claws tapping against each other in contemplation. Bah, how foolish! Did the girl not know how to fix her hair properly?! The Zangoose was hovering over Jack in an instant, claws tousling through her hair as he attempted to style it. The Professor got a huge kick out of all of this, laughing the entire time.

"Oh no you don't. Let me get a look at you first." Jack held those dangerous claws at bay. "These look strong. Do you use your claws a lot for battles?"
Zangoose nodded proudly and let them flash in the light. Jack grinned "I'm Jack your new trainer." Jack ran her hand through his soft, soft fur. "Your red fur is just as vibrant as Scarlet's. Do you mind if I call you Crimson?"
Crimson shook his head then tackled her hair starting to groom it. Jack sighed getting the feeling that she wasn't going to get away so she sat letting him have better access.

Edric's eyes grew wide in surprise as his new pokemon became immediately fixated with fixing his shirt and Larvitar's placement. He would have pushed the giant monster away in protest if he wasn't so terrified and the thing's sheer size. The professor's laughter annoyed him only further, and he finally cracked a bit. "Alright, alright! Enough!"
The Kangaskhan made a noise much like a tutting and shook her head lightly. She then proceed to pat both Edric and Larvitar on the head, both of whom responded negatively. Edric attempted to fix his hair as he muttered. "I guess you two need names."
The Kangaskhan's came easy. "Meema," he said. "Works well." Meema nodded and patted her trainer affectionately on the head once again. Edric pushed the large arm away and attempted again to fix his now matted hair. "And you," he glanced down at the Larvitar who seemed to glare right back up at him. "Adir will work for you." The pokemon snorted and looked away, but seemed to approve nonetheless.
Sighing, Edric folded his arms. This was gonna to be some journey. "Is there anything else professor?"

Jack jumped up and grabbed the backpack with a single strap. Giving it a quick once over and declaring it sturdy and well made slung it on to her back. Finding it comfortable she set it on the counter to fill it with the supplies and her spare cloths.
Next she looked at the Pokedex's. Jack grinned and picked up the red one. It seemed to be her lucky color today. "Thank you so much Professor. I'll take care of my new friends."
"Well you two let's get started." Jack held the lab door open for Scarlet and Crimson to go through then she took off running. eager to be started. And maybe a little eager to be away from that arrogant men. But mostly to be started.

Edric reached for the backpack and the white pokedex, thanking the professor as he did so. Taking the box of supplies allowed to new breeders, he said his goodbyes to Professor Conifer and made for the door.
Meema happily scooped up a not so happy Adir and followed her new trainer outside, knowing whatever was in store for her new 'family' would be quite fun, to say the least.
