Matthew was stirred awake by the murmur of the breaks breaking and the slight lurching of the train as it does itself to stop itself. Matthew let out a groan, then lift up his upper body to look out the window clearly. He let out a yawn and tried to wipe away the sleep from his eyes but it practically vanished when he sees the sign telling him where he stopped. He has finally made it to New Bark Town. A smile grew on his face as he let out a small gasp of excitement. Matthew grabbed his bag off the seat and started to jog down the halls of the train all the way to the exit, it would appear that most of the people were already there and there was a kid a few years younger then himself, he wondered if he came here for the Professor's quest. But before Matthew can ask the boy the doors opened, and Matthew absentmindedly walked out of the doors out to the train station of New Bark Town.

Even from within the Train station Matthew could smell the fresh air and nature, it was such a nice smell, especially after being in the train for a few hours. Matthew walked out of the mostly empty train station out into the real town, which looked more like a suburb than a town, but he found it charming, it reminded him of his neighborhood. 

Now he needed to head toward the Pokemon Lab, which luckily for him, he studied the town's map all day the day before so he knows every street and store like the back of his hands. Matthew let out a beaming smile and started to walk to the Pokemon Lab posthaste. On his way there he sees a fancily dressed person that he swear he seen somewhere walk the same direction as him, after walking past them he sees a girl having her picture taken by the sign and than talking to somebody, he wasn't nosy enough to listen in to what she's asking, he kept moving forward to the pokemon lab. New Bark Town had a simple layout, the Pokemon Lab was the northern most building in the town and due to it's large size it was hard to miss. Not impossible mind you. 

Matthew marveled at the Pokemon Lab when he finally arrived to the building it was such a High tech looking building compared to the more humble and rustic feel of the rest of the town. Matthew took in a breath of air and walked though the double doors of the lab. The inside of the building was higher tech, it looked like something from a Sci-fi movie from Unova, the Lab had advance technology to study Pokemon and their environment, it was breathtaking he wish he had all day to draw the complex machinery in great detail but he has something to do first.

Matthew, after asking an assistant where he could find the Professor, they all said she could be found beyond the large Library past the front desk. Matthew wasn't much of a reader but even the size of the library enchanted him with how much he could learn, but yet again he has to focus on the duty at hand. Matthew had to pry his eyes off the picture books as he walked past them to get to the Laboratory, and right away Matthew took notice of the woman right in the middle looking though notes as walked around the lab. Before Matthew could ask the woman if she was the Professor she looked up from her notes and took notice of Matthew, she had a look of excitement at seeing him, he wasn't sure if it was due to seeing him or having an excuse to look away from her notes. The woman put the note down on a table and she smiled at Matthew sweetly. 

[b][i]"You must be one of the new trainers!"[/i][/b] She mused as she walked up to Matthew, standing next to the woman made him feel small, not only because he was short for his age, but also knowing he was standing right in front of the Pokemon Professor of the region, it left him a bit starstruck. The Silence stayed in the air for a moment as Matthew tried to find the words to say to the professor. Juniper tilted her head at the boy's difficulty at speaking, [b][i]"Purrloin got your tongue? You don't need to be so shy, I don't bite."[/i][/b] The Professor jest, which caused the short boy to blush a bit and he finally got the words to escape his lips, which wasn't the ones he wanted to admit, [color=9e0b0f]"I framed your drawing after I read it." [/color] He blurted out which caused his blush to deepen, the Professor raised an eyebrow than she let out a giggle, which caused Matthew to sink deeper into his embarrassment. [b][i]"You must be Matthew, I'm surprised anybody would want to frame my pictures, but i'm honored an artist like yourself framed it especially compared to that Butterfree drawing you did for me." [/i][/b] Professor juniper humbly said, which caused Matthew to rise above from his embarrassment a smidgen. [color=9e0b0f]"Well it not every day a professor respond to a letter with a drawing..."[/color] Matthew quietly responded with before continuing on with, [color=9e0b0f]"but I will draw things that are a million times better than my drawing to you on my journey and I'm so happy that you chose me!"[/color] Matthew brightly said with a smile growing on his face replacing the sheepish expression just moments ago. The Professor smiled as equally bright, [b][i]"I'm glad to hear that Matthew, I can't wait to see your sketchbook after your travels."[/i][/b] Juniper encouragingly said to Matthew. 

[b][i]"I can introduce you to your Pokemon Partner while we wait for all the other trainers."[/i][/b] Professor Juniper said, Matthew Nodded excitedly and followed the Professor to the back of the Lab where a table held a few Pokeball on top of his polished top. Professor Juniper looked though the Pokeballs and finally found the one she was looking for, which she handed to Matthew. Matthew knew how to handle Pokeballs though handling his Grandmother's Pokemon, but before he could release the Pokemon from the ball, the Door to the lab opened and he couldn't help but look at the direction of the noise, Professor Juniper did the same.

Matthew wondered who it was.
