The professor scowled after Wim's kiss landed on her cheek, apparently he was more of a flirt than Devon. She began to walk toward the exit, her hand held ready to smack the boy across the face, then she decided that that was unprofessional. She looked back toward the untouched box of eggs and frowned. Lia felt bad for none of them getting to go with a trainer. She walked over to her desk and lifted one of the eggs, looking at it contemplatively. This one felt strangely heavier than the others, so she assumed that it was closer to hatching than the others and said, "I have some things of my own to do, and I may need a new partner to come along, waddaya say Eevee?" At those words the egg seemed to shake with excitement, Lia smiled and turned to her computer, withdrawing Talis, her Talonflame and her first pokemon, from the box. "This is it, we can finally go knowing that there will be people to look out for us." She snuck to the bookshelf and slid it aside after a bit of a struggle, showing a back room containing a few supplies and the locked back door. Lia attached the egg carrier to her back, collected all the supplies, and quietly slipped out the back door.

A tall man covered completely in shadows looked down on the sleeping Devon. This man had never met the boy, but knew exactly who he was. The two shorter men behind him seemed to be wondering why they were here, but they couldn't let their mind wander much more before the taller man said, "Seeing his pokemon choice proves he is no use to us, back to HQ!" and with that the 3 men trotted off to where they came from.
