Alice sighed, leaning one hand on her hip absentmindedly, the belts hanging off her checkered skirt clinking lightly in the afternoon light. The building in front of her... well, she had honestly expected it to be larger. She knew of her habit to let her expectations get the best of her, but this was honestly disappointing. From one glance at her brother, she could tell he was still completely and utterly excited. Typical. With another sigh, she took a tentative step forward, then turned on her heel. "All right. Let's settle something right now. If he has any Houndour, we're picking that, okay?" Aaron wrinkled his nose. "Really? That kind?" "That's the kind Dad had for a while. They're strong, they're smart, and they're fast. We're getting that one. I mean it." Aaron sighed and shook his head. "Okay. If he has a Ghost type then, then we're getting that one." "You're so obsessive. Fine."
The two strode up to the main doorway, grins on both their faces. It felt like it had taken forever to get here, but now that they had finally arrived, it seemed like they couldn't get their feet in the door soon enough (so to speak). Aaron reached for it, but Alice was already there, rapping on the door with her fist.
"Hello! Hello! Is anybody home? Are you out to lunch? Hellllloooooo?!"

----- THE PROFESSOR IS IN!
"Oh, Tyrone! How could you do this to me? I thought we had a chance at life! A chance to have a family! But you betrayed me, you scoundrel!"
[/b] A passionate female voice cried out from the other side of the door, slightly muffled from a faint static and the walls that separated Alice and Aaron from the lab. It was a melodramatic speech that resembled something right out of a soap opera, and it was retorted with an equally dramatic response. "Linda, please come back to me! It was a moment of weakness, I promise! You're the only one I can ever care for, LINDA!" The deep male's voice was passionate and sincere, only to end in a dramatic cry blended in with an explosion. Professor Winter sat restlessly on the couch as the wide screen television continued to display Passions in the Sky, one of his favorite soaps. He couldn't take it anymore! The drama! The suspense! His eyes remained glued to the screen, tears swelling up at Linda's dramatic car crash. It was so horrible! "Not Linda! Don't kill her off so soon! What will happen to the baby? Tyrone needs her too." He thought it all out in his head, but he couldn't help but fret out loud. It was a shame, but he remained oblivious to the guests outside of the lab. At least the door was unlocked, so they could wander inside if they really wanted to.

It was a couple of minutes before Alice gave a small snort of disapproval, leaning back on the heels of her boots, her hands planted firmly at her waist. "Uggh. When I asked if they were out to lunch, I didn't /mean/ it... it's way too early for that!" Aaron just scratched his head. "That's weird. They said Professor Winter is usually in at around this time... are we at the wrong building?" "There's no way!" Alice cried, shaking her head. "This has got to be the place. I made sure: I checked the map at least five ti-" "Shh!" "... Did you just shush me?" Aaron ignored the affronted look on his twin's face as he pressed his ear to the door. "No, wait... I think I hear-" Aaron's eyes widened. He KNEW that voice. He KNEW those sound effects! In fact, he'd practically memorized them! It was Passions In The Sky, one of Aaron's (and his mother's) favorite soap operas! A dramatic and beautiful story of a man and a woman joined together by a sighting of the legendary Pokemon Rayquaza, they constantly fought off evil Pokemon poachers in the hopes of saving the big green dragon's fate. And if he was hearing correctly, this was the episode that had aired in Sinnoh just before they had left! As Aaron was figuring this out, however, he didn't notice the door slowly swinging inwards until he had fallen flat on his face. Alice casually stepped over him into the hallway, then helped him up. "I didn't know you could pick locks." "I can't... door must've been open... but, uhh, excuse me!" Before Alice could stop him, Aaron tore off down the hallway, turning the corner to find the TV proudly displaying the moment when Rayquaza swooped down from above to save Linda from the car crash. The large creature set the woman down gently, then nodded and vanished back into the clouds. Aaron sighed softly, placing a hand on his heart as Linda and Tyrone embraced, vowing never to fight again. "It's really touching, isn't it? Plus the special effects are just magnificent."

Professor Winter smiled affectionaly at his young companion. It wasn't often that a boy was interested in his soaps. He cleared his throat, wiping a tear from his eye, and snatched the remote control off of his desk. "I just wish they wouldn't have killed off Hernandez, he was my favorite," the professor muttered under his breath, switching off the TV and turning his full attention to the twins.
He cleared his throat again, an awkward tic. "Welcome to the lab! You-you're both new trainers, right? If you need a starter, we have a list riiiiight here," Winter flung open a desk drawer and pulled out a laminated sheet with bold color pictures of the pokemon offered at the lab. "If you have any questions, please let me know!"
A woeful glance was cast at the tv. "Hernandez...."

Aaron said, nodding solemnly. "But you think they could've-" Alice sighed, clapping her hands over her brother's mouth with a disinterested look. "Blah blah blah. Aaron, stop talking about stupid stuff, we're here for a REASON, okay?" Aaron only gave a muffled reply, then removed his twin's hands, taking the laminated list from the professor and nodding. "Errm, thanks." The two looked the list over: scanning each Pokemon, trying to figure out which would work best for them. It was a hard choice: well, for Aaron, at least. "There's no Houndour!" Alice whined softly, pouting. "Well... I guess that candle looking one is kind of badass. It's a Ghost and you like that, right?" Aaron nodded. It had certainly caught his eye first on the list, but he still felt bad about the others. Oh well: there could only be one. "Excuse me, sir... could we see the Litwick?" he finally inquired, tugging a bit self-consciously at his lapel while Alice bounced from foot to foot.

Winter grinned. Litwick was a popular choice. "Sure thing. I'll be riiiiight back!" white lab coat trailing behind him as he walked, the professor disappeared momentarily into the back room. Several loud thuds were heard, and when he came back his grin broadened. "Assistants are a bit..." he paused, searching for the right word, "...enthusiastic today."
In his hand he held a pokeball. Thumb found the button and the contents were spilled - after a blinding flash of light a litwick hovered just off the ground. "We got a fresh batch of them recently, and this one's a bit young and immature. It'd make a great partner in time, though. They require a bit more effort to raise than say, pidove, but it's a very valid choice!"
Litwick hovered closer to the twins, flame on it's head flickering a bit. LEVEL: 5 ABILITY: flash fire & flame body TYPE: ghost / fire ATTACKS: ember - astonish - minimize - smog - captivate

The little thing did seem quite adorable, and he couldn't help but already visualize what it would be like to have it as a companion. "What about the Larvitar?" Aaron's head slowly turned around to glare pointedly at his twin, who merely looked innocently curious. She had the laminated form in her hand, big blue eyes blinking once or twice as she pointed to the picture of the Rock type. "I mean, sorry to be a bother, it's just that I've never actually seen one in person. They're kinda rare in Sinnoh. What are they like?" Aaron slowly brought his hand to his face, while keeping the other outstretched for the Litwick to sit upon. If he knew where this was going... Well, he was pretty sure he did.

"It's not a problem." The professor ensured the young trainer's. Their curiosity was perfectly natural, and something that a man of science could appreciate. It wasn't everyday that a trainer got a chance to see a Larvitar. He opened up a drawer on the desk and pulled out another poke'ball. He pushed the button and a small olive green poke'mon popped out and stood on top of the desk. He blinked a few times and looked over at the new faces in the lab. It waddled towards the edge of the desk and hopped down to the floor so he could walk over to the trainers and see them up close.

As the girl gently picked up the Larvitar, nuzzling the small green Pokemon with a grin on her face, Aaron turned his gaze back to the Litwick and gave a tiny sigh. "It's sooooo cute! So adorable! I love it!" Alice said, turning the tiny creature around so they could both face Aaron. "Aaron, can we have this one? Pleeeeease? I promise you that the next chance we get for a Ghost type, I will totally let you catch it, no questions or anything. I promise, promise, promise." "But..." "Aaron!" The boy let out a slow groan, then let the Litwick drift off his hand. "... Fine, but you totally owe me one." "Yeeeeees!" Alice cried, giving a fistpump to the air while the Larvitar mimicked her gesture. "Professor, we'd like this one, please." Aaron turned his gaze back to the tiny Fire/Ghost Pokemon, nodding as a way of apology. "Some other time, maybe?"

::larvitar:: The Larvitar looked delighted that he had been chosen over Litwick. The ghost type looked disappointed as he floated back to the Professor. Winters lifted up a hand and the candle settled into it and nestled it close to his chest. Someday little guy. He didn't want to comfort too much in front of the trainers and make them feel guilty. Instead he reached under his desk and pulled out a starter pack for them to share. He threw in Larvitar's poke'ball into the bag with the rest of the supplies. Nudging the Litwick up onto his shoulder he handed them the bag. "Of course. Here is the starter pack." He said calmly. Maybe they would be gone in time for him to catch his next story. The Young and the Listless. It was about chronically disorganized people.

Taking the pack of supplies, he nodded again. "Thank you very much, sir. We really appreciate the help." "Yes! Thank you very much!" Alice said, still cuddling the Larvitar to her chest. To his credit, the small creature didn't seem particularly bothered, small stubby arms holding close to Alice's arm, playing with her studded bracelets. "I think we're going to get going now... take care, and have a good day." Aaron glanced over his shoulder at his twin again, and then gave a small smile, to which she returned a thumbs up. Carrying their new Pokemon friend, they made their way out of the lab, then down the path, on the way to their new journey. "Isn't he just the cutest?! I'm gonna call him Cheron!"

~~WILD MOD POST APPEARED!Unfortunately the candle was very immature and instantly started to whine as the trainers left. It tried it's best to distract the Professor from what he really wanted to do. With an irritated sigh, he waved at the Pokemon. "There will be others," The Professor reassured the Litwick as it whined and hovered about. He really wanted to watch his tv shows, so he put the floating ghost type back in it's ball to get it to behave. In front of the two twins laid a vast road, patches of trees and thick grass coating the landscape. As they moved ahead, they came across a sign that read in very clear, bold print: "Route 1". [[ You can move on to route one now <3 ]]
