Kris arrived in the lab in quite a hurry, flustered from head to toe, gasping for air as she entered, glancing around hastily at her surroundings. The lab was filled with people, all recording observations and notes into pads they held in their hands, staring observantly at Pokemon sealed up in boxes that simulated their natural environment, examining poke balls that had yet to come out onto the market, or, in one odd corner, examining the effects certain elements had on certain Pokemon. Just as a Pikachu was being hit by a rock, Dawn heard a voice speak behind her.
"Hey, little girl, I'm sorry, but this is a major--"
Kris turned on her heals, frantically, "I'm here to see Prof. Elm!" The man behind her considered this, scratching his balding head for a moment with a look of confusion. "You do know where he is, don't you?"
"I know precisely where he is. The only thing is why do you wanna see me?"
"Oh!" Kris laughed, "I had an appointment with you. My mom DID register, right? She didn't, did she? Oh geez, that stupid idiot!"
"Huh? No, I just forgot. You're here for...uh..."
"Choosing a Pokemon."
"Oh, right! That!" Elm laughed at himself just as Lyra darted into the room, winded and exhausted. Lyra glanced up at Elm, unable to articulate words. However, observing the brunette's strained sign language, Elm got the picture. "You're Lyra, right?"
"So you remember her and not me?"
"Oh, no, uh--how about those starter Pokemon, huh?" Elm laughed, nervously backing up, much to Kris's joy and Lyra's frustration. Elm lead the duo to a large stand in the center of the room, where another boy stood, grinning. He was a slender fella, dark haired with a cap on his head, wearing black and gold clothing. If Kris wasn't much mistaken, the boy's name was Gold. He tossed a Poke ball up and down in his hands, smiling.
"So you're one of the new trainers, huh?" Gold asked, smirking jubilantly.
"So which Pokemon did you get, huh?" Kris asked, smirking, "It was a Cyndiquil, wasn't it?"
"Actually, it was Chikorita," Gold laughed.
"So that leaves Totadile or Cyndiquil..."
