[color=deepskyblue] Ed raised a single eyebrow when he noticed the ghost pokemon appear before the professor. He looked behind his shoulder to see Crow nesting on his back. [i]”And I thought you sleeping on my back was trouble…”[/i] Ed though to himself. 
He whispered behind him as to keep from the professor’s ears. “I feel bad for whoever is that pokemon’s owner.” As soon as he had said this, one of the trainers behind him spoke up. Edward had no idea and he was certain this was going to get awkward. “My bad,” he apologized the best he could. 

The trainer turned around and stopped commenting in order to not sound like a jerk. [/color]

[color=limegreen] The professor’s eyes widen and he stepped back in defense. “Ooh!” He got spooked by the ghost pokemon. Professor Pine grabbed a white cloth from his lab jacket and wiped his sweaty brow. “Excuse me, I have studied ghost pokemon before, but I never met one so up close and friendly,” he chuckled.

“I’m not that young so the smallest things do raise my heart beat,” he joked. He stepped aside to see the other trainers behind the Gengar. “The final evolved form of Ghastly; that is very impressive, indeed.” He clapped twice in effort to whoever owned the Gengar. 

“Now then, I’ll begin with the basics. This is a different region so you will need a different device. Your old poke’dex might be obsolete, or if you don’t have one, then you are in luck. You all seem to have pokemon so you all have an idea of what a pokedex is already. That saves us about twenty minutes…” He said tapping his watch.

His assistant laid some devices onto her desk. The professor waved his hand behind himself. “I have two models to choose from. I have the classic, crimson fold-up for the ones that want that taste of nostalgia. It is a lot slimmer than its previous predecessor.” Professor Pine coughed and pointed to the other version,

“Then I have the black slim pokedex; compared to the crimson version, it is smaller and all the rage with the youngsters. Both systems have their own differences, but the important qualities are generally the same. These devices will be useful for your journey as a researcher, breeder, or even a trainer. I don’t think I am forgetting anything else…” The professor tapped his chin.

“If it's a researcher you'll want to be, travel this region and you'll be certain to fill up your poke'dex. Just keep an eyeful as you could miss a lot. Now a trainer is a different story. There are gyms located across this region. I'm sure you're quite well known about badges right? The first badge you should go after is the Donnybrook badge, located in Shellville which is right past Cloverhill. Of course, you need to train your pokemon and capture some wild ones before you take down a gym leader. After that, you could be enlisted in the tournament."[/color]
