[sub][i]Camphor's Lab, Habitat A | Morning[/i][/sub][/center]

The moody boy, whose name seemed to be 'Yuu' as he'd introduce himself, certainly had a name that felt very Kantonian or Johtonian. Polite enough when he put his mind to it, hmm? Reminded her of some online trope from Kantonian animated TV shows, the same she'd also seen in Johto, but now wasn't the time to dwell on those. Better so he seemed to at least introduce himself to things in this case than the peculiar boy with the Budew had been initially, though he'd at least been partly polite as well in truth. But it still felt rude enough to just mention someone's disability so blatantly, pasuing before delivering a bit of positivity as if to give room for some doubt. Like they were in some TV show her father liked to watch sometimes sitting a big chair in their living room. Eh, but now it all just felt pedantic to think about it all. But even the Rotom Phone the sullen boy had also seemed to have its own name. Vivi? Felt fitting. 

Soon, however, the Professor would arrive (looked about like she'd thought from the video message at laest) and take all of them in the room but a small few, those whom her eyes would quickly pass over as the Professor addressed them to stay behind for now, before they all were led onwards down hallways until they reached-....ah. A contained habitat in a climate controlled area, surrounded by glass walls and having its own observation deck as if it was an oversized terrarium. She meant no ill in that sense, but more that it did make sense as the Professor went on to expain its purpose. Rehabilitation and study made sense for a professional lab like this one, even if the Professor's taste in personal Pokemon seemed to make more sense as Freida chided her comments on the laughing Impidimp. Though as people without a mon' went to catch their first Pokemon, the white-haierd girl from outside seemed to come give Ryuuichi advice before heading out (she and Yuu didn't seem to mesh well anywho), and one of the more squirrely trainers named Hazel was invited to go with Freida to get hers in particular (a thing that drew Lina's attention somewhat)-

[quote]"Wha- why do you still have that," Yuu sighed, sounding rather befuddled and exasperated at what he felt was a contrived situation, "You could of just... left it on the table back in the waiting room, or did those other four not tell you there was a table there?"[/quote]

She simply glanced to the side, and lo and behold the blind boy, Ryuuichi, still had the cup that Yuu had brought him. Yet the sulky purple haired boy would then seem to wander off among some of the others, seeking their first Pokemon partner within the habitat itself as they spread out. Not that a certain whizzing Rotom Phone didn't also ultimately return and buzz near Ryuuichi, the taller boy flinching hard once more as if recoiling in pain as the little Pokemon whirred about him like a fly on a-...ahem, never mind. All the same though, the screen seemed to have words on it simply stating 'here to help' that had been typed out by either it or Yuu. In any case, however, the blind boy seemed to go off on his own with some help from Camphor, who seemed to be mindful well enough of him and took the cup back from him before sending him on his way. 

...Noted. 

[color=steelblue]"Might want to watch the harsher noises around Ryuuichi, it would seem, good intentions aside,"[/color] she would state in a matter-of-fact manner, albeit with a quieter tone somewhat, as she walked over to Vivi, addressing the floating little attempted helper and reading the words on his screen, [color=steelblue]"For now perhaps he needs a little quiet time, though, on his own. A little breathing room. That being said, you can hang around me a little until Yuu comes back if you want. Get to meet Jorm that way anywho, and he doesn't mind if you take a few pictures if you'd like."[/color] 

Well, he was more patient for that sort of thing than she was anywho. Still, Lina's hand would go comfortably to the Pokeball at her side and would feel it grow in her hand as she tapped the button on the front, before she looked about for a safe amount of space to open it up before simply pointing it in the direction she wanted to release her partner Pokemon. Without having to be prompted, however, the Pokeball would pop open on its own, releasing a light that emerged from it and its occupant rapidly grew in size as it entered the physical plane (or whatever the inside of a Pokeball was like).

Clocking in at a slightly above average length of 30 feet and 7 inches for his kind, with a body composed of what looked like large, boulder-like rocks and a fin on his head, and asomewhat distinctive, discolored, and small (by Onix standards) scratch-like birthmark on the back right side of his head, Jorm or "Jörmungandr" would land on the ground and rear up to look about his immediate surroundings. His appearance would somewhat shake the ground, however, as if he'd been released ever so slightly enough off of the ground to land on it after materializing from the Pokeball. In that vein, though, the first thing he did after looking about was glance over to Lina herself with some kind of stare at first. 

"Niiiiix"

[color=steelblue]"Hey, the Professor said to let everyone out to breathe. Figured the trip was cramped enough for ya, plus I had to make sure you had room to move before letting you out."[/color]

"Nix nix. Onix."

[color=steelblue]"Good morning to you too, Jorm."[/color]

Would be some good time for the Professor to get a good look at Jorm personally in this case, though as for Lina herself she would for her part begin to glance over the faces of the trainers who either hadn't walked off or were still standing around. Because now that people were getting their Pokemon, well, she had an initial trajectory in mind and had been hoping, to, ah, maybe see if she could grab up a party to head in that direction. Sure she'd head alone if she had to, Jorm was enough company if she needed, but it was preferrable to travel in groups for safety and all of that good stuff, yes? So she wanted to find a group. 

...And maybe Jorm would draw a bit of attention himself as well, which could perhaps help with that. Though she had to think over a few ideas in the meantime anywho based on what little initial contact she'd had with and what little she'd seen of people thus far. Hmm. 

Yuu seemed to be a grumpy, sullen sort who had some semblance of politeness to him when he put his mind to it. Victor seemed to be a peculiar sort in his own right, with little observational awareness and a relaxed-looking Budew that sounded and felt to her like it had just come back from being a beach bum somewhere. There was Ryuuichi, who seemed to be more nerves than body mass in a sense, but whom she felt could need a good guide in some sense to at least help him in his journey (not that he couldn't get around on his own, it seemed, but still). There was the motorcycle girl with an attitude, who had clashed with Yuu and came with a silent non-speaking red-haired Caterpie snack, but seemed to be softer towards Ryuuichi as well though with a somewhat harder touch in a sense as well (based on her own gut instincts there). There was also the hyperactive ball of energy that had bounced about from person to person like a Rotom-possessed ping pong ball, Melissa, and her Azurill that it seemed as if she didn't know the sex of still? Plus there was the Galarian girl who had a cheeky sound to her, ah, Tilly, yes? 

She'd noted those thus far. There were also others, of course, beyond just these. Whoever was sleeping on the couch, the one serving coffee, and so forth, though she hadn't much a chance to talk to any of them as of yet either. Beyond getting glimpses of them thus far in her own interactions.  

Jorm, for his part, would proceed to look about a bit more after stretching his body for a second. He'd glance at the bouncy Azurill sitting in Melissa's hands in front of the Professor. He'd spare a glance in Toshi's direction for a moment as well, due to his seeming proximity to the Professor as well, before looking over at Hazel briefly with a look of some small concern written into his expression. He then began to look more out at the habitat from his somewhat lofty position and 'height' of sorts. Toweringly he gazed over at Risette with her new Sandile-shaped hat for a few minutes first, tilting his head a little bit as he did so breifly as well, and would then proceed to also spare a glance over at the wandering Ryuuichi with some silence as well and would do the same for one short Galarian out of the corner of his visioon. At least doing this all from what he could 'see' currently. 

...Hopefully his trainer hadn't caused too much trouble as of yet at least.
