BRIAR eyed the assortment of Pokeballs presented to their group. In truth, they all seemed similar to them and their lack of knowledge on the creatures hindered them from analyzing the options available before they chose. That, and the fact that they were certain that no matter the species, they'd be able to turn that Pokemon into a top notch star that would be able to trample its opponents without much trouble. With this in mind, they grabbed a Pokeball at random. Holding out the Pokeball in their hand, they allowed the red light to shine forth and release the Pokemon held within.

[i]'Ah! It's a Shinx!'[/i] Samantha exclaimed, almost gushing in excitement. The assistant dropped to her knees and carefully approached the Pokemon, who jutted out its chin and preened at the attention. BRIAR watched approvingly. [i]'This is a great choice, BRIAR.'[/i] She scooped the Pokemon in her arms and snuggled it. The smile on BRIAR's face dropped.

[color=f7941d]"Enough. We don't want her getting attached to you. You're not coming with."[/color] They reminded, strapping the Pokeball to the belt they had previously prepared. Samantha nodded, allowing the Shinx to return to the ground and sniff at her new master. She handed her boss the backpack - BRIAR eyed the bulky carriage with disdain - containing some supplies they would need. [i]'I'll get the Pokedex for you.'[/i] Without waiting for a nod of approval, Samantha hurried off to the assistant carrying the Pokedexes.

They turned to the Pokemon instead, tilting their head as they examined it. [color=f7941d]"You need a name."[/color] They lowered themselves to the ground and scratched the Shinx's head. [color=f7941d]"Nothing flower related, though. How about a star instead? Yeah, a star. You look like a Spica."[/color]

The Shinx crooned in reply, and the name was settled. They gave it a final pat before returning the Pokemon to its Pokeball. Samantha quickly returned, handing the device to her boss. BRIAR slipped it into their bag and grabbed their camera, pointing it towards Sam.[color=f7941d] "Right. Say goodbye."[/color] They turned it to the Professor after the assistant shyly waved her goodbyes. [color=f7941d]"You too, Professor."[/color]

BRIAR nodded to themself and turned the camera to them. [color=f7941d]"This is it. The start of an adventure. Don't even dare change the channel, my little stars."[/color] They gave the camera a wink and took their leave from the laboratory.
