The late morning air was pleasant, carrying a slight breeze that cooled the area to a comfortable temperature. Norah briskly walked toward Professor Conifer's lab, feeling as though she was in a dream. This day was one she had longed for for as long as she could remember. She wanted to start her journey years ago, but her parents - being the overprotective sort - had refused up until a few days ago. She loved them, she really did, but she couldn't be sheltered forever, and her neighbors' kids had gone on their own quests long before her. None of that mattered now, though. What mattered was that she was finally on her way to achieving her dreams. Nothing short of death was going to stop her now, and even then she would probably try to keep going.
She paused for a moment when she reached the lab, staring at the doors as if they were the gate to heaven. Conscious of the possibility of others wanting to enter the lab, she forced herself through the doors and into the lab, gazing in wonder at her surroundings. So this was the place where destinies were born...
Norah stepped further into the lab, continuing to look around. "Hello?" She called a little nervously as she took in her surroundings, feeling even more that she was in the middle of a dream.

Out from behind a bookcake came the Professor, smiling and giving a short bow to the girl as she entered. "Welcome! Are you ready to get your pokemon?" she asked, taking it that the girl was here for that sort of thing. "Trainers get one, breeders two, and coordinators take two as well. You are allowed to only take one mystery ball, and once you open it, you're stuck with the contents." After that she stood back, awaiting Norah's choices.

The professor stepped out from behind a bookcase, and Norah smiled at her, returning the bow. "Hi! Yes, I finally get to be a pokemon breeder today!" She was almost bouncing with excitement as the professor explained how many pokemon the various professions were allowed to start with. Then the professor stepped back and Norah noticed the starters that were available to her.
"Eee! So cute!" It took maybe half a second, and the zorua was in her arms. She scratched at the fur between the pokemon's ears. "You and I are going to have so much fun together." She giggled and reluctantly tore her eyes away from the fox pokemon. She glanced at the other available pokemon, but none of them drew her in like the zorua had. "As for my second...I think I'd like to be surprised. Could I have a mystery ball?"

"What a cute pair!" Conifer exclaimed, nodding to herself and scribbling something down on a notepad when she saw the Teddiursa. "Ursa?" she cooed, wobbling over to Norah and clinging to her ankle to steady herself. Before she gave the girl some time to settle in with her new partners, she motioned to the equipment.
"Choose your things and you can be on your way; you're not allowed to have pokeballs, though, so you best leave them here. Your next destination will be Gustella. The first breeding center is there."

"Ooh!" Norah gave the zorua a last, quick cuddle before putting it down and scooping up the teddiursa. "You're really cute, too! This is going to be awesome!"
Before she could coo further over her new companions, she looked over the equipment indicated by the professor. "Hmmm..." She looked between the two bags that were most backpack-like and - after a moment - took the one with two straps. She also selected the purple pokedex and packed it - along with everything else she was allowed to have - in the bag. She then stood and smiled again at the professor. "Thank you so much! I...eh...guess I'd better get going now so I can get a good start on things and you can help everyone else, right? Yeah. Thanks again!" With that, she was off, heading out of the lab and toward her next destination.
