Victor and Humphrey had quickly polished off the delicious treats. He hadn't had this good of food since that one time his parents took him to the Striaton City Gym for an exhibition match and dinner for his elementary school graduation. It was during that match that made him want to become a pokemon trainer. He was then brought back from the memory thanks to the voice of the red head with the Lotad. He had introduced himself as Mark. Victor nodded in acknowledgement and said, "Victor, and this is Humphrey" He gestured to the puppy pokemon who had barked his own introduction for the Lotad. Happy to have a new possible friend Humphrey jumping around Lotad and barking. He'd drop down on his stomach, toss his head back, and chuff egging on Lotad to play. After a while of waiting the TV turned on and Professor Oak came on screen congratulating the winners of the lotto and mentioning something about an important task. A moment after the TV turned off all the Pokedex's in the room went off. Checking it Victor's eyes went wide. He couldn't believe his eyes then Magnus spoke up. Never had that issue? No shit. It's despicable! Then Mark made a good point. What could they do? They were new trainers with inexperienced pokemon. 

"But something has to be done. Professor Oak must see potential in us or she wouldn't have asked us to go and help. If anything it wouldn't hurt to at least try. We can't let the opportunity given to us go in vain. I say we go for it. Besides it'll be a good way to fill out our dex's." Offered Victor in a bout of inspiration. He also had an ulterior motive. Thwarting a band of poachers would make for an excellent first chapter in his novel. Standing Victor scooped up Humphrey and gestured toward the door. "Well I'm going. What say you Team Blue?" He asked.
