Sulteron walked swiftly down the icy path, sandelled feet crunching in the soft carpet of snow streched out over the town she trudged through. Her breath rose as steam, billowing out in front of her face. She shivered, bringing her coat tighter around her think body. Her Espeon ears and tail were both quivering with cold. Her lilac eyes and ruby jewel were a darker shade today than they were usually; probably another effect of the cold.
As the laboratory belonging to Professor Hide swung into view, several Pokemon hardy enough to brave to cold stopped to turn and stare at Sulteron from within their safe range at the back of the lab. They were mainly Ice or Water types. A Buizel and Snorunt dropped their gazes and continued to scurry about their business, and the other Pokemon soon followed suit.
Seeing these Pokemon made Sulteron wonder what kind she would recieve for her starter. She desperately wanted a Charmander; it's evolution, Charizard, looked amazing. She also wanted a Shiny Pokemon, she was one of them, and wanted to catch as many of them as possible. She also wanted a Growlithe, Houndour, Dratini or a Ralts.
The Espeon 'morph presently found herself striding up to the door. The laboratory looked no diferent to any other building, she noted. If she had not known what it was, she would have walked straight past it. With a sharp, deep intake of breath, she reached out with one hand and rapped sharply on the door.

A few seconds later a young-looking woman answered the door. Her hair was black and went a little past her shoulder blades; it looked unbrushed yet neat at the same time. She was taller, wore a blue bandana with a skull emblen upon in around her head, standing out against her red-orange hair. What really didn't match was the unbuttoned white lab coat and black tank-top she wore underneath it.
"Welcome to my lab. Come in, please, please. It's much warmer in here," the woman said. By the way she said 'my lab', this was obviously Professor Hide. Inside it looked quite dim, but the faint outlines of figures moving around, pokemon perhaps?, looked a little bit inviting. The heat coming from inside momentarily blasted outwards, making it seem even more inviting outside. Professor Hide stepped aside, allowing a nice large path for Sulteron to enter through.
((Ahah, sorry for crappy reply. I totally fail now since I haven't actually replied or posted in a while xD))

Sulteron walked through, gazing around at assorted stuff. It seemed as though a sciencey bomb had gone off, but she didn't mind. She flexed her fingers as she regained use of them. The warmth was lovely, but she knew she shouldn't get too used to it. Unless she picked a Charmander... or any Fire type, for that matter. She tried to make out the Pokemon in the background, but found she couldn't. Ah, well. They were probably just random Pokemon trainers had left here from their journeys.
She now turned to Professor Hide. "I think I know what I would like for my starter. Could I please see any Charmander you have? Oh, and if you have a shiny anything, could I please see it?" she asked. A shiny partner would be very interesting.

Professor Hide watched Sulteron, trying to guess what type of starter she would want. Her guess was some sort of fire-type because of the weather. She glanced over her shoulder at a figure that had begun moving closer to her. Just by the outline and posture she could tell it was Optimus. He came up beside her, now slightly visible at least.
"Of course. I think we have just the starter for you," Professor Hide said. Turning to Optimus, she spoke. "Switch on the lights and see if we have any S.C.s, please," she said. "Of course. I'm sure we do; haven't been busy lately because of the weather so we should have at least a couple," Optimus replied as he turned around and headed for a door that was labeled 'STOCK'.
A few seconds later, the building was flooded with bright light. Professor Hide blinked her eyes a few times before finally adjusting. The figures that had been moving around now were clearly defined; they were Pokemon of all kinds and colors. All were carrying something; trays of Pokeballs, vials, food, and even a few eggs were being carried by them.
"Optimus should be back shortly with your starter," Professor Hide said with a smile.

Sulteron smiled. She wondered what 'S.C.' meant, but was glad that it seemed they had a Pokemon for her. She looked at the Pokemon. She recognised a few breeds, and some where things she'd never seen before. It was all very interesting. "Seeing all these Pokemon makes me wish I could see every single one there is. That Lucario, Optimus, is he your friend, your assistant, or one of your Pokemon? I like the way you can communicate. Normally it's just us 'morphs able to talk to Pokemon, it's nice to see it differently for a change." she said, watching the Pokemon fetch her starter.

Ironhide watched as two Pokemon nearly crashed into each other, and sighed with relief as they didn't drop anything. It was a little hectic in the Winter; all of the Pokemon wanted to work inside that weren't Fire-Types.
"Good luck with that dream. I haven't even seen all of them yet. Optimus is a free-willed Pokemon like all the rest of the Pokemon here. There's only one Pokemon here that I own. All the rest come and go as they please, looking for work to do so they can get food. In Winter I provide free food since it's scarce around here and other places. They help me organize things to show their gratitude. Optimus was a lab experiment and escaped and he tends to hang around here most of the time now," Professor Hide said. She thought about what to say to the last thing Sulteron had said.
"Thank you. It wasn't easy to do at first. Not being a 'morph it is very difficult to communicate well with Pokemon you don't own," Professor Hide said.
As Professor Hide said the last words, Optimus came back from the back room carrying a Pokeball in one hand and a bag full of goodies in the other.
"I hope you will enjoy what I've found. That was the last S.C. we have... That has hatched, anyway," Optimus said, holding out the pack and Pokeball to Sulteron.

Sulteron smiled, fighting the urge to laugh as she noticed how comical the Pokemon looked when they crashed into each other. She took the Pokeball from Optimus, thanking him before the telepathic conection was cut. She looked at the Pokeball and pack. That was the last S.C. we have... That has hatched, anyway she assumed that meant this must be fairly newborn, with others still in eggs. She looked up. "I'd like to meet the Pokemon before I leave, please." she said, looking at the device.
It had seemed so easy on TV... she just pressed a button, and the Pokemon came out, right? She located that button and squeezed it. A crack of red light ran along the center of the ball, before widening as the ball split open. The light glanced onto the floor, filling into the shape of Sulteron's new Pokemon...

Lucario smiled and nodded, then went back to work, melting into the crowd of Pokemon coming to and from different doors and such. He thought that this trainer would be good; he only hoped that more of the S.C.s would hatch in case more trainers, if any came in this weather, wanted one.
"Oh, please do. It's tradition," Professor Hide said, smiling as she watched for the reaction on Sulteron's face.
As the Pokemon formed, the thing that was most noticeable was its sleek-looking yellow-orange skin.
It's a Shiny Charmander! You're a lucky duck, Sulteron!
The Charmander opened its eyes, revealing complete innocence and even a hint of cuteness.
"Char?" it managed to say as it sat up. It looked up at Sulteron, the tall 'morph before it. It tilted its head a little bit in curiosity before running around in circles around Sulteron.
"Well, there you go. I really hope you don't mind. That one can be quite a handful sometimes. Even when just first out of the egg there was a bit of mischief in its mind," Professor Hide said, smiling as she watched the energetic Shiny Charmander run around Sulteron's legs. S.C. was now easy to know what it stood for; Shiny Charmander.

((No need to find stats))
As her Pokemon came into view, Sulteron gasped. Charmander were rare. And she had a shiny! This was more than amazing. She studied it. She had begun to notice that all Pokemon were different in some way. Looking at this Charmander, she could see it had wider, more innocent eyes. It looked angelic despite what Hide warned her.
"I'll take him." she said, putting the Pokeball in her pocket. The starter's items were bundled into her backpack, and she was ready to go. "Bye! Thank you so much!" she grinned again, Charmander looking with wide eyes at everything in the outside world, before she shut the door. She took a deep breath as a strange feeling of freedom enveloped her. She was officially a trainer. Now that was amazing. It was strange, it having gone so quickly. She had been looking foward to that moment for weeks, and now it was over.
She exchanged grins with her new Charmander, pulled her backpack higher over her shoulders and left the town, heading for Route One, otherwise known as Evergreen Road.
