It was nice, seeing all the trainers getting along. More or less - it seemed one of them had a brief panic attack, but the others had managed to calm her down. They had just started, and they were already helping each other! He couldn't have asked for a better outcome of this. Well, most of the trainers were getting along anyways. One of the girls seemed to have a bit of a superiority complex. He had seen trainers like her before, and most of the time...well, it didn't end well. Hopefully, she learned her lesson before something bad happened.

Well, whatever happens, now was time for wishing all of them well, and getting them out of New Bark and out on the road.

[b]"Alright everyone!"[/b] Professor Elm said again, to get their attention.[b] "It's been a pleasure making all of your acquaintances! Now though, its time all of you got going."[/b]

[b]"Um, professor? What about their licences?"[/b] Alfred quietly asked, holding a stack of the item in question. There seemed to be one for each of the trainers gathered here. 

[b]"Oh, right! Sorry, I almost forgot. Alfred, if you could pass them out please."[/b] With a nod, he got up from his seat and started handing the licenses to the trainers. This took a minute or so, to figure out who everyone was but soon enough it was done and each trainer had a shiny new Trainer Card to carry around and show that they were legally licensed trainers. It had their age, name, hometown and emergency contact info on it in case of well, emergencies. [b]"Make sure you keep up with those. They are very important if the Police decide to make sure you are a legal trainer."[/b]

Now that that was taken care of, then they could get going.

[b]"I apologize for the last second hold up! But now that everything is done, young trainers, the world of pokemon now awaits you! You'll face many challenges - especially if you decide to challenge the Gyms, but I'm certain that all of you will do great things. Now, enough of me rambling like the old man I am."[/b] he laughed. [b]"Now, your first stop would be Route 29, just east of New Bark. Some of you came through there on your way in. It'll probably take you a day on foot to reach Cherry Grove, but I'm certain all of you will make it. Now, be careful out there and have a fun journey!"[/b]

After being handed her card, Abigail pocketed it without giving it so much as another glance. Well, if the old man was finished with them, then she saw no reason to stay here. She was slightly curious about the egg in the machine in the back, but didn't bother asking. Instead, she grabbed her bag, slung it over her shoulder and with her Nidoran still in her arms, she headed right for the Lab's door. She had no desire to stay here any longer. 

With any luck, this time tomorrow they'd be in Cherry Grove, and she'd be on her way to becoming a strong trainer. [/center]
