Before Bailey had the chance to reach out and take a Pokeball of her own, the other three had already done so. There was a Azurill, a Zubat, and a Poliwag. Not that she had any objections to going last. Though with her luck, it would probably be a Houndour or some other Dark-type she had an aversion to. As she picked up the Pokeball, though, and pressed the button to open it, she was most surprised to find a Duskull appear. A Ghost-type! Maybe the entire adventure wouldn't be a disaster after all. Maybe just most of it. The small ghost took a quick look at its surroundings before settling just above Bailey's shoulder. So this was the Pokemon that would accompany her for the entirety of her adventure?

...not too shabby, all things considered.

"Now that you all have Pokemon, would you be willing to partake in a battle? B and I will take on two of you at a time in two double battles, since the four of you should ideally travel together to round up the data as effectively as possible." As Apple's proposition ended, the Honedge on the table pulled its metallic body out of its sheath, setting itself near the Professor. If the trainers declined her offer, that was fine and all, but she was rather hoping they would take her up on a double battle to start their adventure.
