A few minutes walk from the docks to Beta Island is a canvas-walled laboratory. A small metal plaque is affixed to the entrance which says "Professor Ash - Temporary Research Location. HELP WANTED!" Inside, Professor Ash is waiting for you, as much as a terminal workaholic ever 'waits' for anything. "A trainer. How timely," she says, approaching you with long, brisk strides. She inspects you and, with no room to be picky, nods her acceptance. "You're lucky, in a way. We only have a few Pokemon left, so you are spared the agony of choice." She unlocks a deep, metal filing cabinet and opens one of the drawers with a satisfying CLUNK. "This is what's left. We're desperately understocked, but you can blame my assistant Bunya for that." Professor Ash gestures to the sparse innards. You count twenty-four slots where Pokeballs would ordinarily fit, but only one still has anything in it. She reaches in and picks it out for you. On the front is a piece of white tape with the name of the Pokemon written on in precise, angular letters. inari: RESPOND TO PROFESSOR ASH TO GET YOUR STARTER!

He'd played VR games before, here and there. But this was the first foray into a new world since... Well, he wasn't going to think about that. Because those things hadn't happened to Inari. They'd happened to some loser that wasn't even here right now. Of course that meant he was excited to get actually started though. With this whole journey thing and all of that. Pushing his shoulders back and lifting his chin he looked as dignified as he possibly could. A façade he could carry off well so long as he looked straight ahead. "A Pokemon... It had better be one that's good." After all, he wouldn't be tricked into taking one that was sub par. It was unfortunate that he would only have the one as a choice. After all, he deserved to get to choose from the best. But for now this would be fine. He would just simply need to take the Pokeball. If it wasn't a good one then he would just be able to replace it later after all. That seemed like something he would be able to do. After all, there were plenty of these little guys running around. No one said he had to keep the first one he got. At least that's what he told himself. He knew that there was a weird attachment to your starter or something like that. Humans bonded to anything after all. And desperately.

After all it wasn't something his character needed to do. But the person controlling it unfortunately needed to get new glasses. Eventually. One day. But for now he could make out the word, Charmander, on the Pokeball. Oh... It didn't really match the class he had chosen. But that didn't really matter either as he pressed the button, feeling the Pokeball grow in his hands as he released the orange lizard. It was cute, but Inari wasn't the type of person to admit that in game. "...It will work, for now." Charmanders were supposedly strong or whatnot. < For now my ass. > Teeth chomped down on one of his sleeves as the Pokemon decided it had enough of that conversation. With a swift movement he tried to pull away from the beast, but not quite making it before there was the small sound of ripping. Great. At least that would be an easy fix. He never should have turned Pokespeech on. But he chalked that up to loneliness.

She nods once in approval. "Congratulations, inari. You are now— officially— a Pokemon Trainer, and it looks like you are already bonding with your Charmander." She eyed Inari's torn sleeve and gave a thin smile. "Your UI should now be fully activated, and you now have the ability to catch wild Pokemon. You will also be approached by people asking for your assistance, so allow me to be the first. My assistant Bunya is on Beta Island right now catching starter Pokemon for all the new trainers we're expecting." Professor Ash tilts her arm, checking the time on a thin wristwatch. "She ought to have a shipment ready. Please go and collect it for me." Professor Ash hands you a commuter pass for the Beta Ferry! "This will let you travel back and forth as much as you like. Bunya's 'lab' should be set up right on the docks, right next to the fisherman I imagine," she says with a light, weary sigh. You notice a slight tug at the corner of her mouth, pulling her polite smile into a crooked grimace. "Remember to also stop by your house and say goodbye to your Mother. I'm sure she will miss you greatly, even if you are only gone for the afternoon." Say goodbye to your Mother! THREAD COMPLETE! CHARMANDER has been added to inari's box!
