Thankfully, he didn't step inside, smiling for a brief second before swiftly reacting, twisting to the side and dodging the water splooshed onto the yard, the pail following after with a thunk, rolling uselessly on the ground in the new puddle. Cyril didn't know how to react, besides having what looked to be a mixture of a frown and a smile as his mouth was agape, eyes twitching as one hand held on tightly to the door frame. 

[color=ed1c24]"Uhm, [i]what[/i],"[/color] he murmured in deadpan to himself, befuddled by this turn of events, pondering on if it was natural for the Isson professor to specialize, in, uh, traps. That, of course, was followed up with the shouts of two giggly little boys who hopped out and sprinted out of there in a burst of speed. He barely caught the two speedy youngsters, but they looked to be twins.

Cyril didn't bother pursuing, instead loosening his shoulders as he held a hand over his heart and did an over-exaggerated sigh, shaking his head and smiling as he looked to the bucket, now lying on its side. Kids would be kids of course, though [i]they[/i] were unexpected.

Cyril didn't bother questioning this further, as with a shrug, he stepped inside the lab and dear god it was a far cry from what he was used to.

[color=ed1c24][i]"This place... how does she even find anything around here?!"[/i][/color] Cyrils head comedically spun around, trying to figure out where what was which and why everything was so unorganized. Pokemon were hanging around the lab, doing whatever, he had to squeeze around to avoid knocking things over, and even flinched like a Persian upon bumping into the bookshelves around the center, before pouncing and looking around to see if it was rocking before sliding away at a unhurried rate.

Guess being limber paid off as he hollered once more, passing by a Slowpoke that was resting on a server, [color=ed1c24]"Uh, hello, Professor Kalmia, are you home?"[/color]

Following that, a door opened and a mildly soaked (hot) blonde haired lady in glasses emerged, greeting the young man as he gave a swift salute, an award winning smile, and wink, [color=ed1c24]"Thanks for the warm welcome! That's a pretty strange way of greeting people, I might add."[/color]

He chuckled to himself, covering his grand grin as she explained the circumstances behind it all, with Cyril waving it off as she segued into chattering about things as he received a Pokédex, taking a glance at it. Current version, huh? He stared solemnly at it, smiling as he admired the design, swapping between maintaining eye contact with her, as well as checking out the functions of it, as well as the orange trainer card.

Cyril politely listened with a keen interest as she spoke on about this all endlessly, bobbing his head up at times during certain points, though he did ponder on how money functioned in this region based on this side job he now had. He couldn't help but grimace in the back of his mind, guessing that most items would be much more expensive than in Kalos as he ran his hand through his hair a couple of times.

[color=ed1c24]"While this doesn't pertain to my own research, I'm curious about your primary field of study as a Professor, you know, like how Sycamore studies Mega Evolution and how Birch studies Pokémon habitats."[/color]

Cyril had other questions beyond the first, which ate up a bit of time, despite being aptly answered in an organized, yet short period of time, which left Cyril with a huge smile on his face as he scritched at his chin and nodded.

[color=ed1c24]"Alright then, thanks for humoring me Mrs. Kalmia."[/color]

And with that said, he clasped his hands together and rubbing them together so quickly that he could possibly cause a fire with his hands alone as she held out a pokéball to him. His heart was slightly pounding as his thoughts fluttered with excitement as he reached one very hot hand out and retrieved the pokéball. [color=ed1c24]"Alright then, lets see who I got then! Come on out little buddy!"[/color]

With a twirl on his finger and a light toss, a red light shot and fizzled out of the ball, forming the shape of a-

[color=8dc73f]"Fwee?"[/color]

[color=ed1c24]"Oh. My. God. He's..."

"..."

"SO ADORABLE~!"[/color]

Cyril was practically squeeing as he fawned over the green, little Budew as it took a few steps around, looking up to the trainer as it tipped its bud to the side. It was inquisitive, though it did shrivel back a bit as he saw this giant of a man staring at him with pupils that seemed to form into the shape of hearts. Was that normal? He didn't know before the guy bent over and stretched a hand.

The little Budew didn't know how to process this and instead stood there, shivering like a Deerling in front of the headlights, only for Cyril to kneel down. [color=ed1c24]"Heya little buddy, how are ya doing?"[/color] Cyrils tone was chipper and warm, almost instantly causing the nervous Budew to stop shivering and instead take a few experimental, cautious steps towards the Cyril. [color=8dc73f]"Fwee?"[/color]

[color=ed1c24]"Oh, right, before I forget,"[/color] he suddenly spoke up in an excitable tone, retrieved his dex, spinning it in his hands like some revolver before stopping it and scanning the Budew. Once he did, he brought it down to the Budew's level, who bounced over to take a look at it, remaining oddly silent as the machine did its thing.

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

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]

Nickname, huh?

[color=ed1c24]"... how about Aster? You like the sound of that?"[/color]

The little Budew paused and looked up, tilting its little body to the point where it appeared it would tip over any second, raising its bud up and jiggling it for a second. It performed this song and dance for at least a couple of seconds before bouncing up with an excited [color=8dc73f]"Fwee,"[/color] iliciting a chuckle from Cyril.

[color=ed1c24]"Alright, alright! Pleasure to meet you Aster, I'm Cyril~,"[/color] he cried out, scooping the Budew up, much to its surprise and spun around, cradling the little pokémon in his arms. It looked scared at first before jiggling and giggling with excitement as the boy spun. Eventually he came to a stop as Aster nuzzled against his coat affectionately, causing Cyril to look away from Kalmia as he emitted a harsh sneeze.

This continued for a minute until Cyril was red in the face, sniffling as he rubbed his slightly teary eyes before smiling at Kalmia and laughing, [color=ed1c24]"Miiiiight of gotten a bit carried away... and got a bit of pollen on myself, ehe~."[/color]

He rubbed the back of his neck, blushing a little, though it was difficult to tell due to how red his face was prior to that as a result of the sneezing. [color=ed1c24]"Thanks Mrs. Kalmia, 'ppreciate you giving me such a cute partner with that specific evolution type in mind! I'm more than positive that I'll get results, especially with a partner like this!"[/color]

Once this whole encounter wore off, even though the Budew and trainer were still laughing, one new question sprung to mind as he locked eyes with the Professor. [color=ed1c24]"Say, Mrs. Kalmia, how long ago was it since you departed on your own journey?"[/color]
