[I]'Oh, Wow!'[/I] Michael thought in excitement, a moment passing by where he was observing the Pokemon each child had. He hadn't seen a few of them before, he heard about them, but in his opinion there was nothing better than seeing them up close! He snapped out of it, as the first boy, Raizo, introduced himself. His Elekid seemed quite excited, the Thunderbolt it released was powerful, the man could tell. "Wow! What an amazing display of power from your Elekid, Raizo. You must train pretty hard to have such strength." He was nervous about throwing in the next part, but figured it was for his own good. "But, Aah, please be careful about doing that inside. There is a lot of electrical equipment in there, it could get a bit dangerous." 

[I]'Just got to be safe... Jovi would kill me faster than any accident that could hap-'[/I]

Michael's thought was cut off, feeling somebody suddenly take his hand. He blinked, starring at the girl in front of him, She talked so fast, all he could do was offer an embarrassed expression. Before he could respond to her, another introduction was already being thrown his way. And then another child smarted off... 

[I]'Oh, boy...'[/I] He thought to himself, a small frown on his face. He lightened back up a little once the boy apologized for his remark, though. But it worried him as the last one in the group spoke up. He needed to consult this, he didn't like the fact he could spark problems like this. "First of all, it's a pleasure to meet all of you." He thought for a moment about what he should say next, not sure of how it'd sound. 

"Yes, I did help Orre during the events that happened back then. Cipher endangered both people and Pokemon with their schemes, and they had to be stopped. I had friends that helped me along the way, though. Without them, Cipher would have never of been defeated. People call me a hero... I was just a part of it, though. A young trainer, like all of you, that loved Pokemon. Cipher had taken an important person from me back then as well. I... Guess what I'm trying to say is, there were a lot of heroes that worked together to save Orre back then."

Michael froze for a moment. [I]'Wait... I just went back to square one and called myself a hero, didn't I?'[/I]

Michael put a hand over his mouth and let out an awkward cough. "Anyways... Shall we get on with the tour? There's a lot to see!" Thankfully he managed to recover quickly, turning around and gesturing for the others to follow. "Right this way!" He called out, walking towards the doors to the Pokemon HQ Lab. He loved going in and out, because no matter how many times it happened, it was still awesome for the doors to open automatically. 

Once inside, the group would probably notice the area looked rather neat, aside from some scratches here and there, from the Pokemon. "This is the Pokemon HQ Lab. I've lived here since I was a kid, it hasn't changed in all these years. Aside from Pokemon research, we actually have a rather large daycare for the Pokemon that were saved during the Shadow Pokemon Epidemic, located in the back garden. My own Pokemon mostly reside there as well, helping out when they can. Then there's one of our special studies, known as Pokemon Purification."

Michael put his hands into his pockets, walking forwards. "We'll be focusing on the latter first, this way, please!" The walk would be a few minutes of winding through halls, all neat for the most part. Windows that peeked into other rooms revealed scientists sitting down and having discussions. The looks on their faces seemed to be that of worry, though it didn't make any sense why. Maybe it was just work?
