As Desmond lowered the Pokedex, he turned it around in his hand, before offering it to her. "An opportunity." Desmond replied, calmly. She seemed perfect for a Pokedex; With such an apparent passion for Pokemon, he knew she'd get more use out of it than he did. He already knew a lot about the list of Kanto species; She could use the device during her own adventures. He knew it was a choice Oak would make; And wanting to be an amazing Professor like him one day, he had to start by making good decisions.

"I want you to have it." He said, firmly, as he continued to hold it out to her. On the screen was a trainer registration; And with it, a picture of Lily. Thankfully it snapped quick enough that her reaction didn't make it look too bad. "And by extension, I'm saying Professor Oak would like for you to have it, as well. Your dream is admirable; It'd be an honor if you carried this and used it during your journey to collect a lot of valuable data." He smiled, adding; "Of course, it'll have a lot of valuable information for you, as well. And is much faster than that book of yours. I think you'll find it to be a huge improvement."

While he was a little sad to see the device go; He could get another one, if he really wanted to. It'd mean going back to Pallet, however, which meant he was probably not going to have one for awhile. But he could write his data by hand, if necessary. Lily needed it; She had a dream to make a reality, and he was happy to help her do so. Not to mention having a few extra hands collecting data was extremely helpful; He noted to contact Oak later and tell him of this, just so he'd know.

He wondered how good of a trainer Lily was; Her Pokemon obviously liked her, but beyond that, how talented was she? She had the most important aspect down, but now there was more to see; This tournament would be fun, he could tell. He hoped to face Lily, sooner or later for the sake of finding his answer. He didn't bring it up just yet; Wanting to not distract her from her thoughts, as he wanted to know exactly how she felt regarding the Pokedex; To help make his decision more firm.
