She politely introduced hereself, [color=#eaed34]"He's so cute! I'm Viviene Nexan but people just call me Ivy."[/color] Corbin reached out and took hold of waiting hand. He had always been brought up to be polite and courteous, manners cost nothing costantly drilled into him as he grew up. He shook Ivy's hand gently, he was much taller than she was and didn't want to come across as a clumsy oaf...even if he had just fell face first onto the floor. He watched on as she turned her attention to Piplup, saying hello to the small water type while introducing her own Cyndaquil. A grin forced it's way onto Sully's face as the two pokemon played human and exchanged a handshake. The cuteness of the sight was too much for even him to handle. He tried to compose himself, stretched his mouth open wide as if to fake a yawn. [i][color=6ecff6]You're eighteen, start acting like it,[/color][/i] he thought to himself. [color=#eaed34]"A few years ago, these pokemon were extremely rare in Kanto, you know? I'm so glad to have my own Cyndaquil!"[/color] Sully responded with a somewhat excited tone. [color=6ecff6]"Well you have got yourself a winner there it looks."[/color] He cast a glance to the small fire type and threw it a warm smile. [color=6ecff6]"I've spent quite a bit of time looking into the Institute and the work they have done for pokemon conservation is amazing Like you said, you couldn't have ever dreamt of getting a Cyndaquil in Kanto until the last decade or so. Pokemon being specific to particular regions is no longer a thing."[/color] Pausing for a moment Sully sighed, looking Ivy square in the eyes. [color=6ecff6]"I cannot wait to see them a..."[/color] Before he could finish a loud monotone sound came from the TV. Grabbing his attention he turned to see Professor Oak's face on the TV. Without hesitation the professor began to speak. [color=f6989d]Welcome everyone, i'm Professor Arianna Oak! Unfortunately I cannot be there with you all due to some important business but this pre-recorded message should cover everything! Let me start by saying congratulations on winning the Oak Institute Trainer Program lottery. At this time each and every one of the twenty winners has completed orientation which means that it is time for you all to begin your journeys. You will explore the Region of Kanto, for some of you that will be home, others an entirely new place and experience. Whatever is the case, this experience will change your lives and give you a new perspective on our world. I could go on for hours about what you should do or what you may encounter, but where is the fun in that? Each and every group will now receive a message on their Pokedex explaining what your first task is. Once that is out of the way you'll have an opportunity to do whatever you like, whether it be a case of challenging a gym or just hunting some pokemon. So with that I bid you all farewell and goodluck![/color] Professor Oak's face faded from the TV and simultaneously each and every person's Pokedex, no matter the room, pinged as it received a message. The messages we're unique to each room and laid out what she wanted them to do. The destinations were clear but how the groups would get there was entirely up to them. This was to be their journey, their story and it would unfold through their own actions and decisions. For Sully he looked down at his message and began reading.

What do you think?"[/color] Sully looked to Ivy to see what she wanted to do. [/color]
