April's nerves were running wild.
She had tried to approach the Lab- how many times now? Seven? Eight? Maybe more? The pitiful girl had shuffled shyly up to the doors seven or eight times and reached out a shaky hand to open them seven or eight times. And seven or eight times, she had spun around and walked away to gather up her small amont of courage once more.
She pulled a polishing cloth out of her pocket and swiftly removed her circular specs. April stared at the now-blurry building as she wiped the lenses, a bit of a nervous tic she had picked up over the years. Another one was repeatedly adjusting her glasses, whether it was simply pushing them up onto the bridge of her nose again or fixing the wires which held the spectacles in place.
As a matter of fact, April had probably preformed each and every nervous habit she had twice now. Thank goodness she didn't bite her nails. Placing the specs back in front of her brown eyes, the sixteen year old gazed back at the Lab. She would have to go in eventually. She didn't have a house in Cheyenne, nor could she afford a ship back to Hoenn. Her only choice was to get into the Lab and recieve a new pokemon.
April bit her lip(Tic, tic!) and walked slowly up to the front door. Again. Before she could flee once more, her hand shot out and gripped the handle, yanking the entry open. At first she flinched, eyes wide behind the lenses of her specs. Taking a breath, she stepped inside.
CLANK! April jumped, crying out in a panic. She whired around.... To see the door had swung shut. With an embarrassed flush on her cheeks, she alled softly, "Sorry. I-is anyone here?"

professor winter ! Professor Winter was sitting in his little office, just off the main area, when he heard the familiar clank of the door shutting behind some trainer, and then someone hesitantly calling out something. Looking over to the group of water poke'mon, a wicked grin on his face, he nodded. " Remember, just like we planned it you guys. " The water poke'mon nodded and scampered off. " The lights will flicker on and off. " Speaking into a microphone, hidden from view of the new trainer, the professor turned off the electricity, and then flicked it back on. He went back and forth, switching the electricity off and on, until he stopped with it being off. Trying not to giggle so that he could be heard in the microphone, he moved on to the second step. " The phone will ring- " All of a sudden the phone started ringing ( the one that wasn't attached to the electricity that he turned off ) and he waited for the girl to pick it up. " - and there will be no one there. " He waited to give the girl enough time to pick up the phone and find out that it was just an empty line, thanks to his poke'mon having rehearsed this many times, before moving on to the next step. " A ghostly figure will arrive, being the Poke Slinging Masher. " The Professor kicked the door open, sending in a ray of light and smoke billowing out from his handy dandy smoke blower that he borrowed from some other dude. " Go Scyther, just like we rehearsed. " he whispered to the green poke'mon, which staggered out of the door way and stopped, staring at the trainer. " Then, the walls will ooze with slime. " The water type's cues came up, and started spewing water through the cracks of the walls. If one were to look, in the dark it looked like there really was ooze coming out of the walls. Suddenly, there was the sound of hysterical laughter as the lights flicked back on, revealing the truth of everything. Now, to see how the trainer with high nerves would take this. _____________________________________ notes,, spongebob references, anyone?

April was greeted by silence. She thought she could hear slight murmurs, maybe a bit of scruffling, sending a shiver down her spine. The empty building was eerie, she felt like something would jump out at her at any second. Casting her eyes around the room, she took a step forward.
The lights will flicker on and off, Almost like that movement had been a cue, a voice rang out. Her heart leapt, skipping a beat. Suddenly the lights clicked off. Then on and off and on and off. Click, click, click, click! The phone will ring, The voice continued spookily. A phone began to ring looudly. Breathing shallowly, she approached. Ring…ring… Hand shaking, teeth chattering, she grasped it and clicked the answe button. "Hello?"
And there will be nobody there. Cold sweat broke out on her brow as she listened to nothing on the other line. A ghostly figure will arrive, being the Poke Slinging Masher. She cried out as the door swung violently open, fog or smoke billowing out. A figure stumbled into the doorway, seeming to stare at her. There was a sharp clunk as the phone clattered to the ground.
Then the walls will ooze with slime. That did it. At the sight of "slime" dripping off the walls, she let out an earsplitting scream. Almost at the same time, laughter erupted nearby and the lights flickered to life, revealing April huddled in the fetal position.
When she noticed the lights were on, she looked up with eyes brimming with tears. It was... a joke?! Her face practically glowed crimson as she realized she had been fooled. Hook, line and sinker.
(Ooc The cash-ringing, the trashe-flinging...xD)

His pokemon truly executed the joke quite well, he was so proud of them. “I do hope you enjoyed our little show” he said with a light wink while walked over to the young girl. “Consider it a special welcome to Cheyenne, I take it you’re here to pick up your very first pokemon?” he beamed at the new girl before taking a seat in the chair before her.
“So tell me… have you decided what pokemon you would like to start with? Or do you need to take a look at the list?” he asked lightly as he waved the list of pokemon he had for new trainers to choose from, waiting for the young girl to answer. Hopefully he hadn’t scared her so much that she wouldn’t talk!

April could only gape as the Professor jauntily wecomed her to his Lab and Cheyenne. It seemrd he wasn't at all bothered by her hysterical reaction, something which made her question Professor Winter's morals. As he continued, it took a minute for her mind to process what he was saying before finally snapping back into action. She hastily wiped the tears from her cheeks, face still burning. Now that the lights were back on, she realized it had been a fairly simple trick. The "Poke Slinging Slasher" was nothing more than a Scyther while the slime on the walls had only been water. He only needed a mic, water, a fog machine, and some helpers and…Bingo! You got yourself a Poke-Slasher.
Realizing she had no idea what pokemon were available, she timidly asked, "Um... May I see the list?" Her still-watery eyes were downcast as she spoke.

[STYLE=border-bottom: 5px solid #FFC7FF;] [/style] Professor Winter The professor pushed up his glasses to examine the trainer when she had walked in, and decided she may have like some softer types. Not something most trainers were into, but there was a major variety of pokemon within the lab. Not all of them were actually that bad, because that only meant there was that much more to choose from. It was ironic that he had chosen a day to try something new with the trainer, because she had been scared literally shitless it looked like. That made him feel a little bad for her, but he tossed her a starter pack first that had the essential necessities for beginning on a pokemon journey. "Here, you'll need this if you want to survive in the wild out there, and also, here's the list, browse through it carefully," he said to her, as he bent over to pick up the starter list paper on his desk. Then he handed it to her, and pushed his glasses up again since they almost fell off his face. The List showed each distinct pokemon, and the starter pack was at least a good thing to start out with too. "Just tell me which one you want to hear more about and I can go get it for you," he said to her, and offered another quick smile.

The Professor suddenly tossed a pouch at her. She stretched out her hands, fumbling eith it slightly but stil managing to catch it. Curiously, she peeked into the bag. It was mostly filled with berries, along with some basic pokeballs, potion spray bottles, and a small device she recognized as a pokedex. She then pulled the drawsrring and looked up at Winter as he handed her a list of pokemon.
Readjusting her glasses, the girl quifkly looked over the list. Some pokemon, like Heracross, just gave her the creeps. It was a giant beetle! She shuddered slightly and continued with the list. Finally her eyes fell on a pokemon that seemed to jump out at uer. It wasn't too big, or creepy, or bug-like in any way. Smiling softly, April looked back at the professor.
"Ummm," she began quietly. "Could I look at the Sandshrew?"

[STYLE=border-bottom: 5px solid #FFC7FF;] [/style] Professor Winter Professor Winter had finally examined the specimens she had wanted, and he had at least two of them left still. There was a huge demand for sandshrews it seemed, but he didn't have any quarrels with giving the sandshrew away. So he decided to let her look at a few of them and soon stood up as he told her to wait right there. "I'll be just a minute, let me go see if I can find the perfect one for you," he said to her, and then went to the backroom to try finding the sandshrew that had just arrived the other day. This was the second time in one day someone wanted this pokemon, but he wasn't too worried at all. A grunt escaped his mouth as he unbolted one of the cages and the sandshrew looked up as it then jumped out of it's cage. Landing on the floor and sniffing the ground as if trying to find something in particular that it could solve. Deciding to be more hilarious now, he handed the sandshrew a magnifying glass that it used like a detective would. The sandshrew then took a crouching position and with his left paw leaned down to observe the dirt as he walked out with the professor. Suddenly the sandshrew peered up at the girl with it's one eye in the magnifying glass enlarged as the sandshrew seemed perplexed at this situation. Was he finally going to get chose as he adjusted the magnifying glass back and forth to identify this new victim. Professor Winter always thought this pokemon was a little weird, but he didn't question it. "Here you go, do you like what you see? If you do, you may take it," he said to her and then handed her a pokeball to catch him if she wished so she could be on her way. The gender was also up to her and the personality. OOC: If you decide to take the sandshrew, you may leave this thread after and start your journey one. Give the sandshrew whatever personality you want, but the quirk stays, enjoy your stay.
::sandshrew:: SANDSHREW LEVEL: 5 ABILITY: sand veil TYPE: ground ATTACKS: scratch - defense curl - rock climb QUIRK: Likes to solve mysteries

As soon as she decided on the pokemon, Professor excused himself and left the room to find a Sandshrew. It felt a bit awkward, just waiting alone in the room. She absentmindedly twirled a lock of hair around her index finger, wondering what the starter pokemon would be like. The shock from Proffesor's prank had been replaced by excitement. A smile tugged at Aprils lips.
The sound of footsteps distracted the new trainer from her thoughts. She turned her head around in excitement, eager for a glimpse if her new pokemon. At the sight of a sandshrew shuffling sround, peering at her with a magnified eye, she had to giggle. He was just like a little detective. "Thank you!" she smiled, and the joy in her voice was clear for the first time. As she lead the Sandshrew outside, a list of names ran through her head.
Well, Conan seemed to suit the little guy.
(Ooc Thank you all!)
