Trudging Along

[Aldo512]

Bice limped her way through Dust Town, leaning on the walking stick she carried to help herself move along. It definitely wasn't one of the fastest ways to get around, but there was no way of speeding herself up, so she'd just end up at the lab when she got there. As luck would have it, that was just up ahead. "Please don't let me be too late," she muttered to herself as she walked and eventually made her way to the doorway, knocking on the door firmly to see if anybody was still there.

The door slowly opened and a pale-looking Professor Conifer stared tiredly at the girl. She gave a weak smile and ushered her in, pointing in the direction of the back room. The Professor sauntered over and opened the door, letting Bice in to a room filled with pokemon as the Professor shoved a note into her hand.

I`m Professor Conifer. Excuse me for my appearance and lack of speech, I had an accident involving a Dustox yesterday and I don't feel well, but it isn't contagious. Take two pokemon compatible for breeding and I can get your equipment and help you on your way. As Bice read, Professor Conifer coughed and limped over to a chair, assisted by some of the starters who cooed curiously at Bice. Professor Conifer's eyes widened momentarily as she took out a notepad, scribbling something on it before tearing out the sheet and sending a pokemon over to her with it.

I forgot to mention, the closed pokeballs have mystery pokemon in them. Once you open one the creature inside is yours forever, no matter what, so be careful. The second note read while all the starters watched Bice expectantly.

"Oh my. I'm so sorry to hear that," Bice said, bowing her head to Professor Conifer. "I hope that you can get better soon," she added before turning her attention to the starter Pokemon looking up at her. Taking a few moments to look over each of the Pokemon and considering the potential of the closed Pokeballs, she finally reached a decision. "Um...I'd like these two. I mean, if they'd like to come with me," she said, indicating Treecko and Larvitar with her walking stick.

The two pokemon that Bice had pointed to immediately squealed softly in delight, the Treecko bounding up to her and squeezing her good leg in happiness. He started rambling on about something or other to her, looking up at her face and then back down and then outside. Excited to go on their journey, he was! The Larvitar hung back and observed happily, shuffling her feet as she waited for instructions from her new trainer. She blushed when Professor Conifer tapped her foot to gain the breeder's attention again, pointing to her notepad afterwards.

"Thank you very much Professor," Bice said, bowing her head again as she picked out her bag and Pokedex. "And I hope you get better very soon," she added as she headed out, Treecko bounding out after her and Larvitar walking behind them.
