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. King, 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." King: REPLY TO START THE INTERVIEW!

His dark hair was now an artful mess. His ears were undeniably pointed and decorated in jewelry as was the rest of him. His eyes… Or well, eye, considering that one was under an eyepatch, was a brilliant scarlet instead of the usual dark coloration. And when he went to smile at the professor, his sharp canines were on display. It turned what might be a friendly expression into a vaguely threatening one. “I am King,” He reiterated aloud. What, exactly, he was King of, however… That was yet to be seen. His smile widened wickedly as he considered this. It would be fun to find out. “Well then… I welcome this ‘game’ of yours. Ask your questions,” He stated imperiously with a tint of amusement underneath the surface of it all.

After he agrees to the 'game', Professor Ash gives a single nod of assent. "Excellent. Let's begin." The Professor's attitude turns brisk, and she asks you the following three questions. "How do you feel when someone criticizes you?" "How would you react to being locked in a pitch-black room?" "Are you more optimistic or pessimistic?"

King’s sharp toothed smile became the slightest bit wry. He could go on a whole rant about this, but he doesn’t want to. He’s here to get away. ”Annoyed. Irritated. Other synonyms of such,” He states simply. The second one is more open ended. King grinned sharply, canines flashing. ”Such an unclear question. After all, there are a multitude of scenarios that could lead one to be in such a situation. But, in the worst case scenario, I suppose I would look for the most opportune way to deal with the door. I do not like being trapped. Overall, however, I’m not afraid of the dark,” King informed the professor. One final question. “While I would like to think of myself as realistic, I do believe that most others would call me a pessimist,” He answers, straightforward.

She treats each response with the same level of professional seriousness, as if even the flaws you point out in her questions are significant in her calculations. "Thank you, King," 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. TOTODILE Interview complete! Reply one more time to complete your starter lab thread.

He read over the information the game displayed about his starter. A sharp toothed man that wished he could fight the world combined with a sharp toothed pokemon that would bite the world. King already adored the little monster. In fact, King had a good name for him even. ”I will call him Sobek,” King proclaimed, then gave a slight nod of appreciation towards the Professor for giving him the pokemon in the first place.

"I'm glad you find it suitable." She swivels in her desk chair, lab coat swirling as she stands to deliver her spiel. "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. Ash's eyes are level, and she gives you a single nod. "You and Sobek 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, King. I'll be in touch." THREAD COMPLETE!
