[@Delta44] Glad to have you here~

[@Lasrever] Yupp. She looks good. Supremely normal and innocent, just the way one can imagine a new Pokémon Trainer. And Wooper's silly face looks as silly and happy as ever.

Abigail is accepted~

... Hm. That's a detail I might have overlooked. I haven't specified anything about HOW you all were picked to receive your Pokédexes. You say you tried and tried again to get a Pokédex and failed, but I'm not sure how you failed. As far as I can tell, Kalmia's just handing out a couple of Pokédexes to whoever she pleases, though yeah, it helps if they've distinguished themselves somehow. But, this certainly works. Luke had been picked to be given one of the Pokédexes, but there weren't more to pass around. Then Luke got sick (sick enough that he can't just wait a week or so? ... must be bad), and Kalmia remembered that girl that had made her attempts to be picked numerous times. ... And being who she is, Kalmia totally would have rejoiced at a chance to present a girl with her dream~

That said, it does make me wonder what's up with Luke. Huh. Am I in control of that, as the GM? XD
