Not quite yet satisfied with the professor’s explanation, Mara nodded anyways, watching with fascination as the Poke Ball finished coming into existence. Hesitating for a moment, Mara reasoned that it had to be incredibly hot from being fused together…

And she grabbed it anyways, hardly able to believe that it really was real! 

Peering at the Poke Ball, she tapped it lightly, expecting it to vanish into smoke. Nothing of the sort happened, and blue letters began to soar across the screen.

Mara’s eyes widened at a particular phrase, even as it quickly changed. [i]The Gates…. of….Hell?[/i]

[color=#9900cc]”Professor, um… What does the computer mean when it says my Pokemon contains the gates of hell?”[/color] Mara asked, her purple-black hair swishing as she switched from peering at the screen, the professor, and her pokemon. 

There had to be some sort of logical explanation, after all. However, then she recalled the odd tone the professor had gotten when he announced she got an Espurr.

[i]Maybe this place is haunted….[/i] She glanced around again at the spinning pistols and bit her lip, before breaking out into a grin.

[i]If my pokemon contains the gates of hell, that’s so cool![/i] Her eyes closing slightly, she couldn’t help but grin even wider, and to confirm that the poke ball indeed did contain her pokemon, she threw it out, releasing Kira.

The adorable Espurr appeared, and Mara grinned, letting Kira sit on her shoulder so that way everyone would be at eye level with the restrain pokemon.
After the others had gotten their pokemon, the professor turned to them, and started giving instructions about the pokedex. Mara instantly began flipping through it, attempting to find each and every function it had…

[i]Wait, did he say something[/i]? Mara turned dark red, attempting to focus on the professor when everything around her was so interesting!

 [color=f26522]"I know this isn’t all that great, but I’d ask that you stick to my tech. No Ficus Tech. I know you wouldn’t do that, though!” [/color]

[i]Seems like someone is bitter…[/i] 

[color=#9900cc]”I can’t imagine anything more amazing than this, professor!”[/color] Mara said earnestly, once again admiring the random contraptions around the room.[color=#9900cc]”This place is like a fairy castle…”[/color]

The professor went on to explain all of the grant money, but Mara had once again zoned out, fiddling with the pokedex more and more. She only snapped back to reality when Dogwood handed her a poke ball, explaining the science behind it briefly.
 
[color=f26522]“And I think that about covers it! Anything to ask me before you head out?” [/color]

Mara paused, glancing around at her fellow trainers. For a moment, she pondered if she should allow them to ask questions first, but she didn’t care for social etiquette. 

[color=#9900cc]”Which way is the best way to leave town? Not best as in best for new trainers, but best for seeing amazing things…”[/color]
