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. Outpost 1 is little more than a tent city encircling the Research Lab. Professor Ash, your region professor, has been studying the area with her assistants in preparation for receiving new explorers. As you are teleported from the starting screen into the 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. Fairytale, was it? I gather you're here to apply for your Starter Pokemon." Your eyes are drawn to the display case behind her, where 24 sealed Pokeballs wait quietly behind the glass. 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." Fairytale: REPLY TO START THE INTERVIEW!

That's me, Fairytale!" The green-haired individual proclaimed with a bright smile. "Here to get my starter, yes indeed~!" They grinned cheerily. They were eager to see what kind of pokemon they ended up with. Maybe, if they liked it enough, they would crochet or knit a version of it in real life. Fairytale tilted their head at the mention of questions, their sharply bright expression softening with tender melancholy. It was like the mystery dungeon games in this way, it seemed. She would've loved this game, had she been alive to see it. They would simply have to play UNOVR for her. "I'm always up for games!" Their grin was as sharply cheerful as before, as they answered. "Ask and you shall receive~!" Then they paused, now-green eyes sharply focusing on the Professor NPC. "But beware, getting answers is not always a good thing. Sometimes, ignorance might have been preferable," Fairytale stated, tone icy. Then their cheery expression was back as though they had never so abruptly changed demeanors.

Science is built upon all discoveries, not just what we wanted to find out when we started looking." Once you're sitting down and receptive, Professor Ash gives a single nod. "Excellent. Let's begin." The Professor's attitude turns brisk, and she asks you the following three questions.

How much I know about pokemon? I suppose an eight... No, a six or seven," They corrected themself partway through their answer. While the had a good knowledge base regarding pokemon in general, this world of pokemon was still foreign to them. There was much to be discovered, and they were looking forward to it. "A catchphrase, hmm..." Fairytale thought about it then they gave a laugh that sounded bright yet had the aftertaste of broken glass in one's throat. "'Be careful what you wish for'," They spoke the seemingly simple answer. Yet, there was undoubtedly a story behind such a catchphrase. Their eyebrows furrowed briefly in contemplation at the last question. Somehow, this seemed the most difficult answer, strangely enough. "...Lemonade, I suppose. I like sweet and sour things both, after all~!" They smiled brightly at the professor when they finally responded. "Is that all you needed to know?" They inquired with genuine curiosity.

She treats each response with the same level of professional seriousness, as if even your decisively ominous proverb is significant in her calculations. "Thank you, Fairytale," 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 swivels in her chair, standing up in a smooth, fluid motion. She crosses to the display case, unlocking it with a satisfying click. After consulting her notes one more time, Ash selects a single Pokeball from the case and returns, settling back at her desk. "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. BULBASAUR Interview complete! Reply one more time to complete your starter lab thread.

"You've determined my personality profile already? So, what-" Then, abruptly, when offered the pokeball, they fall utterly silent. It's a Bulbasaur. They're not sure whether a Bulbasaur suits them, but it was her favorite. And, they are here in memory of her. Their smile falls briefly, before they recover and smile in a different way than before. Somehow, it seems a more honest expression this time around, even if there is a clear bittersweet aftertaste to it as well. "Thank you for the starter, Professor," They say with sincerity. "I'll take good care of them," They promise with an intensity to the words. What was it she'd always liked naming the Bulbasaurs she'd acquire after the female one she'd gotten the first time she'd played pokemon? Padma, that was it. That was what he'd name this Bulbasaur as well, Fairytale decided.
