Professor Fern was back in his lab, where he had been followed by several small children. He was tired, and if one was perceptive enough they would see it in his eyes, as he did nothing to hide it. He raised an eyebrow as the youth who had approached him directly, instead of waiting silently like the other children who were frozed in mixed awe and fear of the Noctowl that sat atop a table watching the small crowd. He also noticed the pokemon trying to hide itself in the background, though clearly it was not doing a very good job of that. [b][i]"I can see that, as much as I would love to hand you a pokemon, it seems that you already have one interested in you." [/i][/b] He said, waving at Noctowl who spread it's wings and leapt, half gliding over to where the Dhelmise was and immediately began pecking at the anchor, as if trying to draw it out. [b][i]"You know, you don't always have to beat a pokemon into submission for it to join you, perhaps try simply asking this one." [/i][/b] He handed Keala a pokeball, a clear indication that he was done talking for the moment as he turned his attention to the crowd of other children before him. Yui meanwhile, was absentmindedly rubbing the egg she held, she was quickly becoming attached to the thing. If she had been paying any real attention however, she would have felt the soft shudders from the egg, though the sudden short flash of light in the quickly approaching darkness caught her attention. It seemed there was another young man who, like her was keeping away from the general crowd. Though unlike her, he seemed to be having a staring competition with a fluffy pokemon who seemed determined to win. Before she could properly stop herself, Yui was at the side of the young man, taking a short moment to join in on the staring competition before speaking. " You know, I seriously doubt that your pokemon has any intention of losing this little staring match you have going on here. My name is Yui Kaneko, this is errr, well it's an egg I guess. " The egg shuddered softly again, though Yui was distracted by the Mareep. " Does your pokemon have a name? "
