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. C-GOTE, 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." C-GOTE: REPLY TO START THE INTERVIEW!

[In the game, you start in your family's home where your mother resides. It's gotten traction as a meme, mostly due to how all players have the same singular mother. She even comes up with a different story every time!] These two distinct messages overlapped with each-other in the lost girl's head at that time. One came from the woman herself, while one was the last that Ivela had been able to read about the game before she'd rushed to start it up once the patch downloads had completed. Sure, the article wasn't exactly from a few days ago or anything, but it wasn't like the game was very old. Because of this, it was only natural for the article to overlap with this first NPC that Ivela could see, and one look confirmed that even their hair and eyes matched together! So who else could she be? There weren't any other NPCs around this quaint little campsite. Surely nothing drastic had changed about the setting already, right? Ivela thought little of what a strange little home this was, and thought less of whether she could be mistaken. A far more important memory came to mind, this third thought encompassing the other two with a grand sphere of influence; [How long has it been since I've seen my family in person?] Far too long, she found, for her feet carried her arms around the professor's waist without a single thought to power them. Ivela brought herself into the most satisfying hug she had ever had in her life, one that reminded her how isolated her environment had been for the past few years. "Ah, Ma-ma..! I've missed you for so long. It's so good to see you again! I've been working so hard, and the time has just flown across the sky with me..." While Ivela knew very well that this wasn't her real-life mother, she found herself indulging in this false one in her stead. What was wrong with role-playing in an RPG, after all? No-one would blame her for it-at least, unless this was someone else entirely besides her NPC 'mother'. Man, wouldn't that be awkward? Good thing that it clearly wasn't the case!

This is not the first time a new trainer has expressed a sudden rush of affection in such a way, but usually the hug is a 'thank you' after receiving a starter rather than a greeting. "I'm afraid I'm not your mother," she says calmly once you're done. "...I'm far more qualified." Releasing you, Ash sits back down across the desk, mostly unruffled. She does give you a curious look. "I suppose I should have introduced myself. My name is Professor Ash, the researcher in charge of surveying this region." It occurs to her she's never had to do this before-- she'd just assumed all trainers came briefed on her details. "I'd be happy to forward you directions to your mother's house after the interview." She gives a tight, sympathetic smile. 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.

After all, she had just done this to indulge herself for a moment's time and little else. She repeated that fact in her mind a few times to assure herself that this was perfectly fine, all the while giving one of her father's favorite winning smiles-the one that practically sparkled and bubbled and made her feel happy when she put it on. "Hee~ Well, of course I love surprises! Didn't I just give you one? And you gave me one, too. My ideal date, of course, is Christmas! Perhaps my birthday..? Ho, hum--Ah, I had almost forgotten about that last question." A little laugh escaped her, one that showed when she ever talked about something trivial to her. "Well, I kind of lock myself in the dark as part of my job. I can't really remember what I used to be like... it's pretty natural, you know? Peaceful. Sometimes I wish there would be something in the dark, too, so I could have a friend with me while I work."

She treats each response with the same level of professional seriousness, as if even your little laughs and dazzling smiles are significant in her calculations. "Thank you, C-GOTE," 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. MUDKIP Interview complete! Reply one more time to complete your starter lab thread.
