Eu was impatient, but trying desperately not to show it (& failing). It was half past nine, and she had biked all the way down in the chilly morning air to find that the professor wasn't here yet. Unfortunately, this gave her a lot of time to think to herself, which wasn't a good thing in the slightest.
As Eu sat to herself in one of the waiting room chairs, peering around the room with mild interest, her thoughts swarmed her head, filled with hopes about which Pokemon she'd get to choose, and doubts about having to make a choice. Eu was never really the best at making choices.. Especially life-altering ones. The Pokemon she'd choose here and now would be with her for the rest of her journeys, and she'd depend on it more than life itself.
So how could she make such a huge decision? How did ANYONE make it? Was it even possible? Is there some kind of trick behind it? Is there a secret? Is it just a conspiracy? Was it cruel to make a choice? Was it wrong?
With an abrupt start, Eu realized that she was panicking, and she quickly attempted to settle her heart, trying not to think anymore as she listened to the attendant at the desk hum tunelessly to herself as she typed away on the computer.
Eu sighed, trying not to think anymore. She had been waiting her whole life for this moment, and if she ruined it by panicking, she would never forgive herself. Resting her head in her hands, she stared at the clock, listening as it ticked monotonously onwards towards her future, and hoping, praying, that this would turn out alright.

Usually he was preoccupied with his books or dirty magazines and became too busy to help others out because of that. Today, he was actually busy. He was training two of his pokemon and getting them in tip top shape in case there was ever an invasion or something on the lab that he needed to use his pokemon to quell.
When he heard his stop watch ring from the alarm he set, he realized that he actually had to get to his lab pretty soon, in case someone was waiting there for him. Immediately, he hopped on his Arcanine and rode away as his Bronzong followed from behind levitating towards the pokemon center.
When he finally arrived, his Arcanine kicked the doors open before he flew forward and gave a loud roar around the area, startling the workers who still weren't used to that. The Arcanine was too dumb and loyal to know that he was doing something wrong. The Bronzong though could tell that he was being silly and he immediately sighed before he noticed Eu sitting there on her computer.
>Hello... Hello... Hello...< He said psychically to her. But before he could continue, Winters dropped off his Arcanine and walked up to her.
"Sorry, hope you weren't waiting too long. I'm Professor Winter. You must be here for your first pokemon." He said to her.

Eu's eyes immediately lit up as the Professor addressed her. The Arcanine bursting through the door hadn't scared her half as much as it had excited her, for the sight of such a mighty pokemon is a rare one, and as she stood up to give Professor Winter a quick handshake, she had to force her voice to be steady as she exchanged the greeting. "I wasn't waiting that long!" she said, since it was mostly her own stupid panicking that made it seem so long. "And yes, I am. My name is Melissa, but please call me Eu." she said, trying her best to erase the shakiness in her tone. "Where will we be meeting the Pokemon?"

PROFESSOR WINTER ! Winter grinned with welcome as he took the girl's hand, shaking it with shared enthusiasm. She seemed really psyched to be there, a quality not many had been showing recently. It brought his spirits up a little, but it certainly wasn't going to replace coffee. "Nice to meet you, Eu." He replied to her in a warm voice, dipping his head slightly.
"Well, usually trainers prefer to simply choose a pokemon from my list on my desk, but if you want we can get acquainted with some." He answered before marching right over to the coffee machine near his desk and pouring a cup for himself. "Do you have any preferences for what sort of companion you want?" He inquired over the wrinkling of a bag of sugar which he then poured into his cup.
"Help yourself if you'd like," He added, gesturing to the coffee machine. He usually had a surplus of the caffeinated nectar anyway, so why not share?
Inertia reacted more slowly to her question. <The pokemon are in the rooms labeled by their species.> He stated telepathically and robotically, gesturing slowly to the direction of them. The doors guarding the rooms each had a thick window. Prince, meanwhile, wagged his tail as he attempted to lick Eu's hand.

Eu smiled brightly at the Professor's response, and did as she was instructed by helping herself to some coffee. Her smile widened as she received yet another telepathic greeting from Inertia, and her eyes widened in wonder. She had seen quite a few pokemon on her journey here, but not many that were psychic. It pleased her that she was able to see such a mysterious pokemon up close. Her wonder was abruptly cut off, however, as she was greeted by a huge, slobbery kiss from Arcanine, at which she giggled shyly, and returned the greeting with a well-deserved scratch behind the ear.
Already bursting with excitement, Eu responded to the Professor's earlier question now that the Pokemon had been settled. "Well, I'm not really sure what I want yet.. Though I've always had an interest in fire-type pokemon." she admitted, giving Professor Winter's arcanine a warm glance, quite obviously loving his adorable features. "But I'll take a look at all of them." she said quickly, smiling. "I want to know what my choices are." Eu wasn't quite sure when she had decided to make her decision harder, but for some reason she wasn't feeling nearly as panicked anymore, and this made her confident.

Winter heard the girl speak and he quickly nodded as he accepted the statement and gave her a few moments to think of what she wanted. As she did that, he went to the back with both of his pokemon as he was in search of something. He left abruptly, almost as if he was signaling for Eu not to follow him or something, or rather that he wanted to be a ninja and leave before Eu could even figure it out and then come back as if nothing happened. When he did come back, whether Eu knew he was gone or not, he carried a bag of goodies for her. "Have you made a decision yet? You can take as much time as you want. But here is something to get you on your way." He said as he handed her the bag. It was filled with a few pokeballs, a few potions, and some berries that she could use on her journey. "This is the prototypical starter pack. You use it to start your professional journey as a trainer. You get one of these and a starter. So if you are ready we can help you with that also." He said. Also oddly, neither of his pokemon were with him anymore... It seemed he sent them away to the back when he left. [ooc]: In the future if you would be so kind, can you bold your quotes when your character speaks. It makes it easier to read. You don't have to but it'd make it easier for the mods and their eyes.

[ooc: Sure, I'll bold them! Sorry if my previous posts were confusing, because of that. I'll try to make everything more readable. (:]
Eu accepted the package gratefully, weighing the items with care in the palms of her hands.
"Thank you!" she exclaimed, her excitement rearing up again. "I'll be sure to use these as best I can!" she promised, packing everything back in the bag, feeling the weight of her journey beginning with every new item she gained.
Reassured now, and feeling much more confident, Eu decided it was time for the beginning. And so, heaving a great breath, she turned towards Professor Winter with a smile.
"I think I know which Pokemon I want now.." she began, eyes scouring the room, as though searching for something. A small, excited noise began to drift in their direction, and Eu smiled as though she knew exactly what it was coming from. No longer doubtful, she said, "I did some thinking while you were gone, and I am absolutely positive this is the right choice." she said, her voice getting excited.
Suddenly, one of the lab's available Litwick turned the corner, looking from face to face of the workers shyly until it's gaze rested on Eu's, and then it squealed and raced in her direction, apparently happy to see the new trainer. Eu giggled, remembering how, not two minutes earlier, this little Litwick had escaped its Pokeball and started running around the room, frightened by it's new environment, and only stopping to calm down when Eu came up and spoke to it softly.
"Do you think I could take this Litwick for my journey? She's rather timid, but I think we'll do well together! " Eu exclaimed, eyes brighter than ever as she let the Litwick clamber onto her shoulder clumsily.

PROFESSOR WINTER ! Winter brushed the bottom of his coat, wary of his Arcanine's black and orange shedding, as he awaited the new trainer's answer. Her voice rose with excitement, and her eyes were pinned on a part of the room, so he was inclined to turn and see what she was staring so intently at. Ah, a Litwick! The creature seemed like a shy one out of the bunch he took care of, and it seemed like he/she got along well with Eu.
Smiling warmly at the sight of the normally timid Litwick warming up to a young trainer, Winter had to agree that they were a good match. "Of course you can have (him/her). I can tell you'll have a good bond." He nodded towards them, then took out a pokeball and recalled the Litwick in question. It disappeared in red mist into the capsule, and Winter held it out towards her. "Have a safe journey, and be sure to bring snacks for the two of you." He wished.

[ooc: xD lol thanks~]
Eu felt the world glow around her as she took the pokeball from Professor Winter's hand, feeling the weight of her new friend as she balanced the white and red orb on one palm, imagining what it would feel like to open it in the midst of battle. Barely able to contain her excitement, she carefully shrunk the occupied pokeball, and placed it in one of the holders at her hip.
She then turned back to the Professor. "Thank you so very much for everything! I'll be sure to take excellent care of Litwick." she promised, picking up the bag of items at her feet, and trying not to get too excited as she shook his hand again, and said, "I'll be sure to contact you again as soon as I can, too, once we've done some battling!" she assured.
