You arrive at the Pokemon Lab on the edge of a new frontier— miles of unexplored wilderness that hide 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!" Your eyes are drawn to the display case behind her, where 27 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!'" Altair: REPLY TO START THE INTERVIEW!

Clearly he wasn’t expecting to get warped from the starting screen straight into something that looked like Sheska’s house with all the books stacked haphazardly everywhere! “Is the ‘nya’ really necessary?” he blinked a few moments later as he tried to reorient himself in the entire mess of a room. Honestly, this was a madhouse! (So where was the Pokémon?) “Alright, ‘fire’, I guess… or ‘water’ in my case,” he went on with a tiny little shrug.

The first one made him raise his eyebrows in alarm, because— “First of all, why would you do that, are you nuts in the head or something? Second of all, I’d think you were either two-facing me or something, because you’re here, right now in a lab—well, something that remotely looks like a lab and then next thing I know you’re harassing someone who doesn’t deserve it…” He stopped for a few moments. A dilemma right out of the gate? Oof. “Well, there was one* time I didn’t,”* he admitted in response to the second question. “Unless the surprise is a bad surprise, then I’m fine with surprises most of the time.” His brows furrowed even more at the last question. “Well. We all have to tell a white lie every now and then. Half-truth and a pinch of a lie to protect ourselves,” he ended with a shrug.

Bunya interrupts you, forgetting how to be a good interviewer (if she ever knew in the first place). For the other answers she scribbles furiously at the notepad, clearly hard at work on something completely unrelated to your interview (an art contest entry, perhaps?) She tears off the sheet of paper she was writing on and reaches absentmindedly down into the file cabinet beneath the desk, unlocking it with a satisfying click. "This nyan is the best," she says, excited, then tosses the Pokeball into your hands. On the front is a piece of white tape with the name of the Pokemon written in precise, angular letters.

That was interesting. He also had much to say however there was something neatly thrown his way—had he not caught it, the Pokéball may as well have bounced off the side of his face since he wasn’t expecting the surprise baseball throw! The moment he saw the name on the sticker attached to it, he couldn’t help but smirk for a few moments. “Oh, nice, this one’s one of my favorites,” he continued. He idly wondered if customizing Pokéballs was possible in here… Only one way to find out, right?!
