~Guest appearance from Alfred Elm~

Abigail was vaguely aware of the girl following her. In fact, if it wasn't for her sing-song voice calling out 'Okay', she would have thought she had already left her. She had thought the girl might try something stupid like holding her hand or some other silly little thing. She looked like the type of girl to do something like that. Thankfully though, she seemed perfectly fine to walk there herself. Call her pleasantly surprised, then! She was still in a fairly good mood, and she was glad this...kid wasn't ruining it.

She walked down the street without a word to the other girl. No sense in making small talk with someone she didn't even know, or for that matter really care for. She was actually kind of surprised the girl took her up on her offer. Her attitude would have probably made most other people walk away, or at least politely decline.

Hmph, no matter. She had no intention of being friendly with this girl.

Thankfully, it didn't take the duo long to reach the lab. Even if they had come from the other side of town, New Bark was still a fairly small little city. Suddenly, the girl dashed ahead, obviously a bit excited to be here. She couldn't possibly be here for a...pokemon, could she? That was ridiculous! But well, she was here, so she must be getting one. That meant she was probably 16, just old enough to get one. Hmph. Oh well, more competition would always be easily dealt with. She was quite surprised, when the other girl - what did she say her name was? Melody? That's right, stopped and held the door open for her.

[color=662d91]"I can...open the door myself."[/color] She stated, a bit harshly giving Melody a quizzical look. Though without another word, she walked into the lab, dismissing it as simple politeness. Hrmph. Now, why couldn't there be a nice boy who held doors open for her? Oh well.

Abigail entered the Lab, glad to have some cool air finally. Her hair was probably a bit out of place. She'd have to fix that later. For now, she was here for a pokemon. She brushed past everyone else, rather rudely, leaving her new 'friend' behind as she took a look around the lab. Looked fairly standard, though she wouldn't know since she had never been in one before. Now where was Professor Elm? 

Standing a bit to the side, was Alfred. He was watching the new trainers file in, obviously pleased that there were so many! And on time too! They seemed to be missing just one of the applicants! He hoped nothing bad had happened to them on their way here. That would be horrible. Well, at least everyone seemed to be getting along for now.

[color=662d91]"Excusez-moi."[/color]

Oh no. Someone was talking to him. And she looked like one of the older trainers. Abigail, he thought her name was. He remembered reading her application for a license.

[b]"U-uhm, may I help you, miss?"[/b] Alfred asked, a bit uneasily.

[color=662d91]"Yes, I take it you are not, professor Elm. So, if I may ask where is the good professor? I would like to obtain my pokemon and be on my way, if possible."[/color] Wow. She was...being a bit on the rude side, wasn't she?

[b]"Uhm, he-he's kind of busy at the moment. If you could take a seat?"[/b] With a huff, Abigial gave him a bit of a frown. Well, if he wasn't ready, then he wasn't ready. She supposed she could take a seat...far away from the other people, then she'd be fine. So, she did just that, taking a seat a bit of a ways away from everyone. Well, she was glad to be off her feet at least.
