Open plains. Wildflowers and grass upon hills. That wasn't the part that amazed her, instead, it was the iron that seemed to break through the ground. Lilunis knew that this wasn't the normal starting spot in other games, but, she liked this. It was new. It was interesting. It made her want to explore more, but, she needed her starter pokemon first. That was when she looked around the tent, before she noticed Professor Ash. "Yes ma'am, that's me, and I am. I am hoping that you have the perfect starter pokemon for me."

She offered the pokemon professor a shy smile, before she looked around once more. She noticed the poster, with all the normal starter pokemon, and knew that she was going to get one of them right now. Which one, she didn't know. That was the part that scared her a bit. It was a mystery, but she chose for it to be that way. She wanted to see what this mystery could get her. What kind of adventure would this mystery pokemon be able to start her on?

Lilunis looked at Professor Ash as she started to explain what was going to happen now, and she quietly took a seat. "Oh, um, okay. Just a few questions, that shouldn't be too bad." She just wondered if these questions were going to have a right or wrong answer, or were the answers in the eye of the beholder, or well, in this case, the eye of the answerer.

When the mention of questions had been said, these were not the questions that she had been expecting. It was the first one, so far, that really had her thinking. It wasn't an easy answer, in the game or in real life. "I think it varies. I like to think in a more positive and optimistic attitude. There is always an upside, or silver lining, to something that is happening. But, I also like to think that I've dealt with enough people and situations to know when to know that optimism isn't going to be a good thought process."

"I don't know if that necessarily means that I am pessimistic, or that I think that way, though. Unless it comes to meeting new people, then I think my lack of trust in others, makes me thinking in a pessimistic way." It was the truth. She didn't know if this meant that she was thinking in a pessimistic way at times. It was always hard to tell, and it always depended on what she was dealing with. When it came to people, she might think a bit more on the pessimistic side of things, and that's because she didn't know who to trust.

"Again, that one depends on the situation. If I'm exploring, then I can be cautious, but not too cautious that makes the adventure boring. I like mystery, which is why I am letting you pick my starter pokemon. Adventures are all about the mystery and learning new things. When it comes to people, though, yes, I am overly cautious. I don't trust others easily, and this does make me cautious of them. I'm cautious of what I do, and say, because I don't know when it might get used against me."

Trust issues would be the one thing that would make her want to play the game solo. She'd rather adventure alone, and chance meeting someone who thinks the same as she does while out on that adventure, over taking the chance of trusting some random stranger in a random town. "I don't know a lot about pokemon, but I'm also not entirely new either. I think I would say about a four or five on the scale, depending on the knowledge that is being asked of me. I just know that I will be able to learn more while here, and I'm excited for that. I want to be able to learn everything that I can."

Lilunis took a few moments, waiting to see if she had forgotten a question, and when she realized that she didn't, Lilunis smiled at Professor Ash. "I do hope those answers helped you."

Three questions. That was all it took. Frankly, Lilunis was happy about that. The amount of speech that she had done for those questions, might have been the most speech that she's done in a long while. It felt good, but, she also knew that she was talking to an NPC and not an actual person playing the game. Not that it should make a difference, but it did.

Lilunis was taken from her thoughts when she heard the click of the desk drawer being unlocked. Lilunis had the curiosity to peak, but she kept still in her seat. Instead, she patiently waited to see what was about to happen. When she was given a pokeball, she didn't look at the tape showing the name. Instead, she just pressed the button and let the pokemon out.

That was when she saw her starter, a handsome Fuecoco. "Oh, aren't you just the most handsome boy in the world. Let's go start our adventure, shall we, Inferno?" Yes, she already had the perfect nickname for the Fuecoco, and she was happy with it. She looked at Professor Ash, "Thank you so much for your help today." With that, she and Inferno left the lab, to start their new adventures.
