Despite knowing that her body was going to physically take the form of whatever she made on the Avatar creation screen, Mia couldn't help but find herself stumbling slightly in her new body. A guy's body? Well, yes, Jian is a guy. Huh. This'll take some getting used to. Though also couldn't help feeling something well up inside her, that she couldn't quite put her finger on. She wrote it off as just her being hyped for the game and the new technology.

As Mia, now Jian, stepped off the character creation stage, the sudden change in scenery to a cluttered Pokemon Lab caused him to stumble again. He scrunched his face slightly in frustration. He's gonna have to start getting used to the extra height as well, if that were even the case. Hopefully this wasn't because of motion sickness or something.

Still, the fact that he was now in a lab meant only one thing. And if Jian knew anything about his previous Pokemon games, it meant that he's about to choose his starter. The thought alone filled him with so much excitement, he could've sworn he was vibrating. But for now, he couldn't help but focus on the lady on the desk...probably this game's Pokemon Professor?

The, uh, cat(?)-speak certainly took Jian by surprise. The man hasn't heard such speech being used since he was, what, 13 years old? And if the pained smile wasn't indicative of the PTXD he was experiencing, then he didn't know what was. Having a poker face really wasn't his strong suit.

"Oh, yeah, uh, hello Dr Bun-" God, could he even say it?? "Nya..." Jian guessed it might've been something related to the Banyan tree or something since that's usually what Pokemon Professors are named after.

His eyes glanced around at the mess around him, really the only space that allowed sitting was the empty spot he teleported onto. Jian chuckled before awkwardly sit-crouching on the ground. As weird of a spot as all of this is, he couldn't stop staring at the pokeballs in the cabinet.

"Don't suppose you need help cleaning up some of this mess, professor?" The man offered sympathetically before perking up."And yeah, sure, hit me with the questions!"

"Nyat-" Oh God, now he's doing it. "Not a professor?" Actually what she was saying sounds like the same thing. You don't necessarily have to teach to be a scientist right? Isn't that just a teacher? Eh, it was weird to think about. He has better things to think about right now anyway, like what even are those questions?

"Hmmm, to answer that first question, probably not. Why the hell would I want to rule over the entire world, that sounds like so much extra work!" Jian paused for a moment, "Though you'd probably get other people to do your work for you in that case. Then wouldn't everything also remain the same?" The man furrowed his brows in thought. "Still, the answer's no. Unless it's to like, infiltrate and sabotage the guy's plans from the inside out, then maybe!"

For that second question, Jian had to scratch his head a bit. How much would it take to explain that there's no such thing as a middle name in the culture he came from. Well, the A.I's probably smart enough right? "Eh, don't have one? We don't really do 'middle names' where I come from." He shrugged.

"Woah, uh, these aren't gonna be used against me or something at some point is it? Fatal weaknyasses? I guess I could be fatally forgetful if that's counted. One time I completely forgot to turn off the stove even when I'm no longer cooking anything!" That's not even an entire lie, it's a wonder how he hasn't burnt down the house at some point.

At the moment, Jian's calves and feet were surprisingly starting to get sore, causing him to rock back and forth where he crouched. "So is that all? Did I answer right?"

"Well, you can always give me nyan." Nyan? Yeah, nyan. Jian always enjoyed collecting an assortment of various nicknames. Almost as much as he enjoyed collecting pokemon maybe. Though he wouldn't know where he'll put an extra 'middle name' in his original name. Maybe his real life persona could do with a hilarious new nickname.

Jian cocked an eyebrow at the doodle he caught on the piece of paper, guess that's why the doctor changed pen colors right at the end. He wondered if it was different for everyone else. Not sure how it actually comes into play with getting his pokemon either but hey, quizzes are always fun in one form or the other.

Jian perked up when it seemed like the Professor (Doctor??) was done deciding. In his excitement, Jian stood up quickly only for his knees to buckle from squatting for so long. Despite that, he managed to catch the pokeball just as it was thrown towards him. He barely missed the tower of books that was precariously stacked next to him.

"Oh shit, Litten!!" The man exclaimed in excitement, though his eyes sparkled, his face slowly turned a little apprehensive when he remembered what that final evolution was going to be. Something weird about a bipedal, muscular, wrestling cat in all honesty. But he's always been one to go with the fire types anyway so actually getting one feels pretty great. Actually-

"Wait, is this because I said something about burning my house down?" Jian paused before quickly shooting a final quick question since it's possible this 'cutscene' might come to a close as soon as he accepts his pokemon.
