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. The camp is little more than a large field tent out on The Surge Steppes, a far cry from the clinical research lab one might have been expecting. Professor Ash, your region professor, has been studying the area in preparation for receiving new explorers. As you are teleported from the starting screen into the temporary Lab, a tall woman with sleek silver hair straightens up from her desk. "Perfect timing," she says, cool and collected. "I just received your details. wytch, was it? I gather you're here to apply for your Starter Pokemon." Your eyes are drawn to the poster on the canvas wall, where 27 different fire, grass, and water-type Pokemon are pictured. Picking up a clipboard, Ash gestures for you to take a seat across from her at the desk. "Before I assign you a partner, I need to confirm a few details of your personality," she says, tone measured. "Pokemon are complex creatures. It's essential to match them with their trainers correctly. If you don't mind, I'd just like to ask you a few questions." She clicks her pen, offering you a reassuring smile. "Don't think of it like 'an interview.' Think of it like... a game." wytch: REPLY TO START THE INTERVIEW!

She looked around the laboratory that she had found herself in, crossing her arms in front of her as the Professor would stand in front of her. "Huh, fancy lookin' place, Professor." Wytch said while her neck craned up to the poster on the wall with a great number of Pokemon displayed. A thought made her wonder which one was the rarest or least given out. Or possibly if she was going to try and find all of them out in the wild. Gosh, this going going to be a hell of a grind. But Wytch was expecting just that. A devilish grin fell over her lips, eager to step foot out of the tutorial as she'd remember that the NPC was waiting for a response. "Bingo~" Wytch swung back around to face the NPC and lead herself into the seat was promised, giving a little twirl as she fell into the seat backwards, still facing the Professor while the trainer listened to the dialogue. So her first Pokemon would be chosen from a quick little personality test, huh? Nothing too serious just yet. Of course, Wytch felt so energetic and loved her character. She rocked back and forth every now and again and ready for the little quiz. "Whenever you're ready, Professor. Let's start the game." System Admin:ProfessorAsh

"Excellent. Let's begin." The Professor's attitude turns brisk, and she asks you the following three questions.

Pretty simple stuff! Wytch smirked and leaned forward in the chair as she gave her answers. "First Question: I'm way more of an optimist. Even on my worst days, I'm usually upbeat." "Second Question: Good habits, helping people that need it, cleaning my room, and cooking and eating healthy. Bad habits, procrastinating, nail biting, staying up late, the usual." "Third Question: I love surprises. Any and every kind, big or small~" System Admin :ProfessorAsh

She treats each response with the same level of professional seriousness, as if even your sleep habits and nail-biting are significant in her calculations. "Thank you, wytch," she says simply once the player character is finished. She checks the time on a thin wristwatch, tapping her chin with the end of her pen. "That's all the data I need for now." 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. After consulting her notes one more time and glancing up at the poster on the wall, Ash selects a single Pokeball. "Based on your personality profile, I've determined this will be the ideal starter Pokemon for you," she says, tone even, then sets the Pokeball in your hands. On the front is a piece of white tape with the name of the Pokemon written in precise, angular letters. Interview complete! Reply one more time to complete your starter lab thread.

Wytch never really considered herself to be a big fan of Chespin, nor really figured she'd ever get one. Still, she had a soft spot for cute things. "Cute little guy. I'll take good care of him, Professor." The woman said, accepting her partner as she'd toss the pokeball up in the air and then attach it to her belt. She'd then press the button and leave the office. System Admin :ProfessorAsh

"Chespin provides a unique mix of offense and defensive potential." Ash was well aware of the grass-type's lack of popularity compared to mega-evolution-capable Pokémon like Treecko and Bulbasaur, but she personally thought Chespin's potential was underutilized. "I surmise when you two get to know each other, you'll get along well." She stands to open the tent flap for you, lab coat swirling. "You are now— officially— a Pokemon Trainer. Your UI should now be fully activated, and you now have the ability to catch wild Pokemon. If we are to successfully survey this region, acquiring this skill will be essential." Icons appear in your field of vision as she speaks, arraying themselves in a glowing line. Prompts for TUTORIAL MODE overlay one another in a stack of miniature pop-ups, prompting you to do things like ~~say goodbye to your mother!~~ and ~~battle your rival!~~. With so much going on, it may be difficult to still focus on Professor Ash. But she hasn't stopped watching you. "I'm afraid you'll need to find your way back to Briarbane from here. Don't worry— the path should be well-marked." Ash's eyes are level, and she gives you a single nod. "You and your Pokemon will have much to face in the days ahead. It won't be easy, but I'll be counting on you to manage. Good luck, wytch. I'll be in touch." THREAD COMPLETE! CHESPIN has been added to wytch's box!
