Haruki chuckled at his gasp of a question and she commented "That's what usually happens to someone after being hit in the gut like that..." She looked in deadpan and a sweat drop appeared on her head as she mumbled quietly as he forced himself to stand, "...Did you really have to say that last part out loud...?" 

She looked back to the older man as Almond spoke, and when he said the name, Haruki immediately recognized him. It may have been a while since she played pokemon, but she certainly knew who the character Professor Oak was. She didn't say anything, but she smiled brightly. She couldn't believe that she was meeting Professor Oak, for real. She nodded in agreement with Almond's comment about the Dragonite. 

She was somewhat surprised that Professor Oak offered them dinner at his lab. She chuckled at Almond's excited reaction and she answered his question, "I don't see why not. It sounds great! Thank you,"
She then realized something. They should probably introduce themselves, especially since she didn't know the guy's name. She said "Oh yeah! Where are our manners? My name is Haruki! It's nice to meet you, Professor Oak," She then looked to Almond, expecting him to introduce himself, so that it didn't look weird (two partners traveling with each other and not knowing each others names would count as weird in her book at least).
