There were a lot of people in the train station, and a good percentage of them were much, much taller than Minzy. Maybe this would have intimidated a person who was a little more shy, or a little less brash, but Minzy? She took it as a challenge!
It took her a while to fight her way through the milling crowd of people, and there was quite honestly a lot of elbowing involved. Still: she made it out of the train station eventually. The air outside was cold and clear, and she took a deep breath. She was in the Giga region! She'd wanted to step out of her brother Andy's shadow, and well, here she was. It was unlikely that anyone would recognise her as the younger sister of a Sinnohan competitive battler here!
Not that she didn't love Andy. She did, just… Well. She'd think about that later.
Her Tynamo, Frey, zapped her gently, like he was trying to remind her of the task at hand. She winced To be honest… it kind of hurt. But Frey had been doing that since her dad had given him to her, so she would put up with it.
"What was I supposed to do…?" she wondered aloud. Then she remembered, and clapped her hands together, pleased. "Oh, right. The Pokemon Lab!"
She took off in the direction that she was fairly sure the Pokemon Lab was in. In reality, she had no clue where she was going, but hey! She was wearing her favorite sweatshirt and her most comfortable pair of cargo shorts. Things would be okay.
It therefore took her almost half an hour of helpless wandering before she actually found herself at her destination.
When she stepped in through the doors, there was already a group of people inside. There was a professor, and a boy with him that was maybe an assistant. Standing by the Pokeballs was a shy-looking boy, and in the center of the room, a boy seemed to be helping a very young girl off the floor. Another boy had clearly just entered the room, and was staring at the scene. He looked just as confused as Minzy felt.
What should she do? Minzy didn't mull over the question for too long. When in doubt, be brave! She marched up to the people who looked sort of like they were in charge (maybe…?), and then struggled not to shrink into herself under the weight of their combined gazes. She could do this. She could do this!
"Um." Minzy said at last, summoning every ounce of boldness in her body. "Hi. I'm Minzy Quinn. I think I called in yesterday to let you know that I was coming by to pick up a Pokedex, and maybe a starter Pokemon if you have one to spare?"
She pulled her right hand out of her pocket and stuck it out for one of the professors to shake.
