As Desmond thought, she was also here to obtain a Pokemon of her own. He had a small smile on his face, not noticing the fact she hadn't really been paying attention to what he asked. As she brought up about there being others, Desmond nodded. "Yeah, a friend of mine was supposed to meet me here so we could both pick our first Pokemon. He's running a little late, but I'm sure he'll be here shortly." He explained briefly, hoping what he said was true. Ted never seemed like the type to chicken out, so Desmond doubted that was the case. Maybe he was just taking his time. 

He looked back to the lab's entrance, curiously. "I wonder what kind of Pokemon there are for us to choose from? I've heard Rowan has some interesting choices, but I haven't heard anything specific." He looked back to the girl, who seemed to be already getting sick of the waiting somewhat. "Kind of exciting, the fact that we might find Pokemon who'll be our partners wherever we go."

Desmond was sure they'd both find a Pokemon to their liking inside, though he kind of wondered about her goals. Did she have plans for a journey like his? Or was she simply going to return to where she was from after obtaining a Pokemon? He was curious, but figured it was best not to ask. It'd seem sort of out there, in his opinion. He didn't want to seem weird with his random and sudden questions.
