Evie nodded firmly to herself as she heard her name. She was decidedly trying not to look at the other folks coming in. If she looked at them, she'd have to make an introduction, and it wasn't time for that yet. Once everybody was settled and their business was concluded, she could make her grand entrance. Still, she took a note of all of their names, mentally storing that info away for later. Likewise, as the professors came out, she locked their names away as well. As everybody had been led into the lab, Evie tried not to let herself get caught up in the moment, seeing all of the lab techs working hard, and all of the cool stuff happening around them. It was the time to focus.

The girl she'd noticed before was led away by one of the professors, to pick up a pokemon, apparently, while the rest of the group received a bit of an explanation on the lab and other info. Soon enough, however, it was Pokedex time. The time she'd been waiting for. As she grabbed her device off of the tray, Evie couldn't help but feel a sense of expectation, and excitement. It was time to break free of her slummy lifestyle and onto something greater. It was time for Sengun to rock to her beat! She cracked a grin, resisting the urge to fall too deeply into her own daydreams. She had to listen intently so she would know where to go. North east through a forest, or so it seemed to be. She was excited about the possibility of encountering a new pokemon she'd never seen before, and of course, there was a list of familiar pokemon in her head that she wouldn't mind running across on her journey as well. Her first challenge target was Kelsea, who used... some kind of pokemon, she didn't remember. [i]Tch. Well, I'll figure it out along the way. Maybe I could weasel it out of one of these other guys.[/i]

Evie was busy thinking about how to get the answer she was looking for, so she was startled out of her thoughts when the professors asked the group for any last-minute questions. Of course there was one burning a hole through her brain, but it wasn't the right [i]time[/i] dammit. Rather than look stupid asking what was probably an obvious question, she'd proceed as planned and knock it out of somebody later, quietly.

"Nope, no questions here, boss. Ready to rock out whenever everybody else is. I hope we get to tag along together for some time. Loners are so yesterday, right Shinzo?" She tossed a friendly punch to the shoulder of the quiet boy nearby, who had been bowing to everybody and everything since he got here. In truth, she only picked him because he was close and it seemed like he was the type to just stand there and take it. It was a rhetorical question, after all. Still, if picking on a younger guy was how she'd be spending the first leg of her long journey, things could be a lot worse. Heck, if he stayed quiet here, he'd be prime material to squeeze her answers from later on. The others... Well, she'd be able to judge them more clearly seeing their actions here.
