The sun beamed down over Pallet Town, a warming day for the beginning of many trainers new journeys. Sully was one of the new trainers, hit rather heavy clothing was slowly cooking him alive. He removed his headband and scarf, placing them into the rucksack on his back. He looked around the main courtyard of the Oak Institute while moving towards its entrance. A large bronze statue stood towering in the middle of the courtyard, the figure all to recognisable to Sully. The statue was of a young Ash Ketchum with his trusty Pikachu atop his shoulder. The young man approached closer till it was in touching distance so that he could read the plaque beneath. [i]'Ash Ketchum, the Pallet Town native showed the world that caring for your Pokemon is the best training you can give them.'[/i] The word's came across a bit cliche and caused Sully to cringe inside, but he knew that they rang true. Why would a pokemon ever fight for you if you didn't treat it right?

Sully took a deep breath and walked past the statue to the main entrance, tapping it on the leg as a sign of respect for the former pokemon master. The entrance to the Institute was a simple affair, automatic glass doors sliding to the side as Sully approached. The first thing he noticed when entering the large building was the smell, it was so clean but Sully supposed it needed to be. He approached the counter to see another prospective trainer. He was aroud Sully's age and his hair was bit messy, but Sully didn't judge. His rather grim childhood showed him that you can't judge anyone just by their outward appearance.

[color=00a99d]"Wye Gérard!"[/color] Sully caught his name just as he moved into ear shot. The receptionist took the identification from Wye before handing it back. She looked up to see Sully and smiled, before speaking in a soft voice. [color=f49ac2]"Are you here for the midday starter programme too?"[/color] Sully nodded, reaching into his pocket to pull out his ID. He handed it over, pulling his hand back as he felt the touch of the receptionists hand on his. Part of the reason he was doing this was to stop that sort of thing happening, he was so withdrawn and distant that he would try anything to come out of his shell. This to him was a chance to improve himself. He hoped building companionship with pokemon would allow him to become the person he wanted to be.

The receptionist smiled at Sully once more and handed back his ID. [color=f49ac2]"Right then gentleman we are still waiting for another two people to turn up, please go to the room over there signed waiting room. There are refreshments and some entertainment such as a television and stereo available. Good luck on your journey."[/color] Sully turned to the direction she pointed before looking back, [color=8855aa]"Thank you miss,"[/color] he said. He forced the courteous reply out, intimidated by the attractiveness of the woman but he did a good job of hiding it. He took a deep breath before turning to the person next to him. [color=8855aa]"I think I caught your name...Wye was it? My name is Sully."[/color] He awaited an answer. He could feel the anxiety creeping over him slowly but he had no idea how long he was going to be in the room with him for, so like a plaster he decided to just get it over with.
