With the assumption that the opening post has already been read for Pureplain City…

[hider=Pureplain City][center][url=http://i.imgur.com/90QlLSx.jpg][img]http://i.imgur.com/V8jzaJE.jpg[/img][/url][/center]

Pureplain City is placed on the south-west brink of Isson, with the town facing the water and spreading quite far. The further in-town you go, the higher the buildings become, but the suburbs spread quite far. In terms of sheer landmass, it might even compete with Worldedge City, although maybe not in height. Life passes normally within this city. Children grow up alongside their parents in houses in the long, friendly streets. Jobs come from the depths of the town in the taller buildings. Schools grow from the reasonably high amount of children in need of tuition. And of course, there are lots of Pokémon.

In Pureplain City, human and Pokémon work together. Be it for manual labour or just for company, Pureplain houses often contain at least one house-hold Pokémon and there are many Trainer's Schools around the city have always been plentifully attended, not counting the recent drop of embarking trainers due to the Team Wars. In addition, Pureplain Harbor is known as the “Gateway of Isson”, as that’s where all the ferries from outside the region dock, giving life to quite the marketplace. A common attraction of the city is the Super Contest stage, but other than that, Pureplain remains what it has always been. Pure and plain.[/hider]

The day was as pleasant as always, the sky blue and the weather as plain as the name of the city. Getting through the bustle of the city Cyril arrived to Kalmia’s lab at where the suburbs are just starting. The lab itself was a single-floor building with a sign that said “Pokémon Lab” on it that didn’t really look like a lab, and then an offshoot on the right side which looked like a regular home that connected to the lab part. Having parted with Marina, Cyril headed up to the Pokémon Lab and opened the door, calling out for anyone inside-

and a bucket of some water came swinging, fortunately missing him, then it fell outside and made some noise as a bunch of water uselessly spilled on the front yard.

[color=a8694a]‘We missed! Mission failure!’[/color] a young kid inside called out.
[color=8f5136]‘Evacuate the premises! Before Kalmia discovers!’[/color] another, identical kid called, and then the two kids ran by Cyril with happy little prankster laughs and off on the streets. Unless, he, like, caught them or something.

Those two aside! Inside the lab was a rectangular room, but the usable space was more round because the room had bookshelves placed in a circle around an area in the middle, not properly taking advantage of the space in the corners. The shelves contained varying books and papers of research, as well as the occasional Pokéballs. In the back and right, a large amount of what appeared to be computer servers filled about 40% of the available space, and they were coupled to a laptop which stood on a desk to the left of it. Other than the laptop, there was also a large amount of papers and binders on it, making it impossible to place anything else on there.

To the right of the table was a healing station from a Pokémon Center, with places to place six Pokéballs, along with a large cylinder thing with a glass middle and a hatch that one likely were to place something moderately large within. There was nothing that said what it actually was. While it was tight in here, it was still decently maneuverable and Kalmia likely knew where everything she wanted was. Also in here, were numerous Pokémon. They are, perhaps not entirely limited to,

From Claire (Rune_Alchemist) a Beedrill and a Ledyba.
From Erika (Pirouette) a Poliwag and a Pikachu.
From Erza (Ephemeral) a Meowth, a Lillipup, a Growlithe, a Castform and a Duskull.
From Amelia (Joshua Tamashii) a Yamask, Golett and a Spiritomb. 
From Skylar (Gardevoiran) a Goomy.

As well as a Slowpoke, resting on the servers over there. Yupp, decently crowded. Any of the players mentioned above may have their Pokémon do something, if they so please, if they even read this.

Then the door to the room to the right opened, and there stood a decently tall woman, wearing glasses and had blonde hair tied into a ponytail, and wore casual blue clothes under a white professor-like lab-coat. Her hair was still wet from something. 

[color=82c6cf]‘Aaah, Cyril! Welcome to Isson!’[/color] Kalmia greeted him, sounding relieved.

[color=82c6cf]‘Did Tim and Tom do something? I do need their help looking after the lab and taking care of the Pokémon, but sometimes they-’[/color] the professor said, coming over and looking out the door to see the product of the booby trap they’d set on the door… Kalmia sighed a little [color=82c6cf]‘… I apologize for them. Anyway, nevermind that! We’ve got a Pokédex and Pokémon to hand out! Now, I know this isn’t your first rodeo, but I’ll still be explaining all of the matters you need to know!’[/color] Kalmia said, turning and going over to one of the drawers by her computer to retrieve a Pokédex and a Pokéball. She turned, holding a certain device with a screen and red edges, smiling as she presented it to Cyril.

[hider=Pokédex][img]http://i.imgur.com/9UutAX1.png[/img][/hider]

[color=82c6cf]‘This is your Pokédex. Now, let me explain a few things.’[/color]

[hider=About new Trainer Card][color=82c6cf]‘Now, about your Trainer Card. We’ve gone ahead and given you a new Isson-style card, which you’ll have in addition to your previous card. It is your ID as a Pokémon Trainer, showing your name, index number as a Pokémon Trainer, a picture of you, the date you got your card, today, and it also shows how many badges you currently have. If you ever enter the Pokémon League, the Battle Dome or any Pokémon Contests, it will also show your results there. We’re momentarily separating your new Pokémon from your old Pokémon and we're treating you like a new trainer here, but after you’re done with your current trip we can absolutely look into combining your IDs for convenience!’[/color] Kalmia said, happily. [color=82c6cf]‘I took the liberty of inserting your new Trainer Card into your Pokédex, for the Pokédex won't function without it, but you can take it out when you need to show it or add a badge to it. It's in the back of the Pokédex.’[/color] [sub](You know how the Pokédex looks like a Game Boy Advance? It's in the place where you'd insert a game cartridge. You may pick what colour yours is~)[/sub][/hider]

[hider=Copy-Paste from earlier post about Pokédex][color=82c6cf]‘Your Pokédex has multiple functions. The main function is to give you information on every Pokémon you encounter and register the Pokémon you have caught. Scan a Pokémon by simply holding the Pokédex towards the Pokémon in question and press the scan-button. You'll be told information about said Pokémon, and by capturing the Pokémon you can also see its expected sizes, what moves it knows, what level it is, what types it is, where it is expected to live, all sorts of stuff. Note, Pokéballs needs to be registered to a person in order for them to function, and the Pokédex does that for you when your Trainer's Card is inserted. It's already linked to the PC as well, so any Pokémon beyond the six you're already carrying will be transported to the PC, and you can retrieve them at any Pokémon Center PC.’[/color] It is common knowledge that you can only have six Pokémon at you at any time.

[color=82c6cf]‘If you check the Pokédex, you can play the cries of a specific Pokémon you've previously caught. Use that as you wish. You can also use the Pokédex to find out where you might be able to find a specific Pokémon that you've scanned and want to catch... Or, well, you WOULD be able to do that, but the Pokédex has never existed in Isson and as such that data is not recorded. However, you can input it! So, if someone ELSE of you guys has inserted the data of where one might be able to find a specific Pokémon, then it will display on your map similarly! You can also supply each other with information about your previously caught Pokémon if you wish! Do help each other out~!’[/color] So no need for ALL of you to complete the Pokédex if you don't wish to, you can do it as a team.

[color=82c6cf]‘In addition. Since we are doing this on mission of the Pokémon Research Association, we're actually getting paid. For each Pokémon you catch, the data of where the Pokémon was encountered and such will be recorded, and a number of Pokédollars will be transferred to your accounts. Also, assuming you register a Pokémon trainer battle, you automatically get the winnings transferred to you should you win the battle. Really easy, and you don't lose anything by losing, so you don't have to worry about running out of money out there!’[/color] The Pokémon Association has to do SOMETHING so that Pokémon Trainers don't go broke out there.
(… And please ignore the financial contradiction caused by not losing anything by being defeated. I feel you shouldn't have to fear getting into Pokémon battles for monetary reasons!)

[color=82c6cf]‘It's also a communicator that can be contacted by both phone and Pokégears as well as other Pokédexes. I took the liberty of inputting the contact information of all the other Pokédexes I've handed out and to my own central Pokédex, but you can register any other people just as you wish. Give me a call anytime you're in trouble and need some advice! I'm not a Pokémon Professor for nothing!’[/color] Kalmia smirked happily, looking out over the new trainers.

[color=82c6cf]‘Any questions?’[/color][/hider]

The two could have any length of conversation after that, but eventually, it would be time.

[color=82c6cf]‘And, here you go. A Pokémon that evolves by happiness, as requested. I look forward to seeing how you do,’[/color] Kalmia said, and with that, the Pokéball was offered to him.

[color=6ecff6][i][center]- You've obtained Budew! -

[center][url=http://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/d/d3/406Budew.png][img]http://i.imgur.com/Kb6s3Wy.png[/img][/url][/center]

Pokédex Entry #406 – Budew, the Bud Pokémon. It is sensitive to changing temperature. In winter it closes its bud and endures, while in summer it blooms and releases its pollen. This pollen is mildly poisonous and can cause harsh sneezing. It lives near clear ponds.

- Would you like to give Budew a nickname? -[/center][/i][/color]

And with the opening block out of the way, here’s the chance for Cyril to check his Pokémon and then actually join the conversation a bit more actively.
