[h3][i]Flashback: May 1st 6:56PM[/i][/h3]


Professor Lukoo was done for the day and packing up his things when he heard the buzzer come from the front door. He wondered who would be showing up to his lab this late in the day. With deep sigh he walked down the hallway toward the main lobby. All the while, whoever was at the door continued to hit the buzzer repetitively. 

When Lukoo entered the lobby, he could make out the two young individuals. He recognized them right away, but they weren't supposed to be here till tomorrow. As he opened the door, he asked, "[i]Hello there. Aren't you two a little early?[/i]" 

Beaming up with an infectious smile the girl responded, "[i]Yes, we know. But we couldn't wait any longer! We're just too excited! Can we please get our starter Pokemon now!?[/i]"

Internally the professor was grumbling. He was looking forward to getting home to see his family after a long day's work. Externally however, he kept his composure. "[i]I see. Well, I would have to turn my equipment back on and-[/i]"

The boy interrupted, "[i]That would be wonderful sir.[/i]" His tone was calming, charming even, and he held a soft smile. "[i]We truly appreciate your help and understanding.[/i]"

With a heavy heart, the professor smiled and invited them inside. He would have rather asked them to come back tomorrow (at their scheduled time), but these weren't just any two teenagers. They were the twin children of Septoh's reigning Grand Champion AND Septoh's most decorated coordinator—the most famous and wealthy power couple in the region.
