Upon hearing the "ding dong," of the doorbell, Alex hears an "oh!" from inside. A few moments pass, and the sound of footsteps come from the other side of the door. It opens, and Professor Pine stands there. He's a rather old man, maybe seventy, with white combover hair and a green t-shirt, his complete with sandals and sweatpants.

"Ah, you must be Alex, yes? One of the children getting a pokemon today."
