Amber accepted the Pokedex with a grateful smile, twisting the device around in her hands with an inquisitive look in her eyes. She had seen Pokedexes before, but it seemed the design varied from region to region and that some of the other trainers she'd encountered before had gotten into a habit of customizing their Pokedexes. Still, it didn't take away from the fact that she was still amazed at how such a small device had the capacity to store and record information about the variety of Pokemon they were bound to encounter.

Aster seemed to think that the Pokedex was something akin to a toy and she struggled in Amber's arms in an effort to reach the device. Not wanting to accidentally drop something she'd been given only moments prior, she set Aster down on the ground - silently hoping that for once, the small Pokemon would behave. She felt Aster attempt to scale up her pants from her current position on the floor, but Amber paid her no mind. Instead, she mimicked what Devon had done and placed her finger on the scanner. She wasn't surprised when the screen brought up a loading screen, only to be replaced by a tally of still blank records with her name settled on top. Fingerprint technology was something also implemented by the Unova police when identifying criminals, although the way the Pokedex utilized it still held a superior air. Perhaps the department could use Pokedex technology to further revolutionize their tracking techniques. It was something she had to look in at a later date.

With her trainer ID settled, Amber tucked the Pokedex in one of the pockets inside her uniform and took Aster back into her arms. As she did so, Bishop had whispered something to her that caused Amber's eyes to narrow, but she gave a nod nonetheless. What could Bishop have to say to her?

She turned back to the other trainers in the laboratory. Devon was ready to leave and begin exploring, it seemed, and she had no doubt that Celes would share his sentiments. [color=ffff33]"If I'm not mistaken, catching new Pokemon is a priority when entering a new region. So, if you wouldn't mind, could I shadow you for a while just to observe?"[/color] she asked both of the trainers, feeling only mildly embarrassed at her situation.

She would wait until the others were done with whatever inquiries they might have with Bishop before confronting the woman herself. After all, whatever Bishop had to say couldn't be anything bad, right?
