STARTER LAB: IVY

NOW LOADING: STARTER LAB
WELCOME TO THE VIRTUAL WORLD OF UNOVR!

You arrive at the Pokemon Lab in the heart of Briarbane Settlement— humanity's triumphant mark on an untamed wilderness filled with secrets, corrupted Pokémon, and unknown potential.

As you are teleported from the starting screen into the Lab, you don't know where to step, much less move. Books are stacked in haphazard piles on the floor, beakers of bubbling black fluid balanced precariously atop them. Styrofoam containers of old takeout are piled up in the garbage bin. Strange machines built of PVC piping and salvaged materials are scattered around like a car show gone wrong, some clearly still in-progress, some in the process of being rebuilt.

A small woman in a stained lab coat is crouched on top of the desk, looking for something. "Where is it... where is it... NYA-HA!"

She straightens up triumphantly, fitting an oversized monocle into one eye, and scooches forward so that her legs now dangle off the front of the desk like a kid in a high chair. "There we nyare! Hiya, nyewb! I'm Dr. Bunya!"

The region's newly-appointed Pokemon Professor seems more like a stray cat that wandered into someone's house than any kind of working professional, but you don't see an alternative. "Sit nyanywhere! You're here for a starter Pokenyan, right?"

Your eyes are drawn to the display case behind her, where 24 sealed Pokeballs wait quietly behind the glass.

System Admin:Bunyaa makes a show of shuffling some papers on her desk. "I got some questions to ask nya first! Heheheh..." Her expression changes from gleeful to panicked as she seems unable to find the relevant manual. "...Eh, I'll just wing it," you hear her mutter under her breath before turning back to you, chipper as before. "Nyall righty! When you're ready, say 'fire!'"
