Isaac found the doctor that had worked on Nova. When asked about the problem the doctor sighed. "Hmm... it's very sad to see young trainers in these predicaments. Of course he shouldn't feel too bad. There are wheel-chairs on the market that are all-terrain and motorized to boot. We'll provide him one when we give him leave to go. If the terrain is too difficult, then certain pokemon could easily carry. Machop and his evolution Machoke come to mind, but those aren't found in the wild around here. They do live in the mountains and caves I hear, but you are probably more capable of answering those kind of questions than I am."

... At least for a small while. While Silph Co. had been guilty of lacks in security in years past. The incident with Team Rocket had taught them to be prepared. Security was much tighter than Chris had expected and while he was unnoticed up until now he was soon going to find it was much more difficult to get in. Guards stood in the large, opulent lobby next to the entrances and the enormous oak and granite receptionist desk. Their steely gazes fixed on the crowds of corporate officers and scientists crowding the space. The workers waited for and walked into open elevators, which lifted and lowered their occupants to their desired floors.

Two hallways stretched next to the two guards on either side of the reception desk. Doors that lead to large conference rooms lined the walls, leading to dead-ends. It seemed that the only things interesting would be on the other forty-plus floors in the building. Spying the badge he had stolen from Daniel E. Fiinymann, Chris discovered that this man was a scientist who worked on one of the three basement levels, specifically in the Engineering Science department, though the scuffle had scratched the basement number off the badge.

((OOC: I'm sorry, but while your post was funny it was far from feasible. I'll just roll with it.))

The smelting room was in fact on the same Basement 3 floor as the rest of the Engineering Lab. However the supervisor had given false information and sent the imposter into the main security level. Calling ahead of Chris, informing the guards. When the elevator finally paused on the seventh level and the door opened to let Chris out, he was greeted by a small platoon of guards all with their Growlithe ready to attack if necessary. The head guard, distinguished from the others by several special markings of rank, addressed the boy. "What do you think you are doing boy? Get out of that ridiculous disguise. I think you should come with us to answer a few questions."

Before the guard could grab hold of Chris an elevator next to them opened. Out came a rather tall scientist who was startled by the amassed force by the elevator. The scientist peered over the much shorter guards through is round spectacles and asked, "So what's going on here Sergeant Donaldson?"

The stern sergeant didn't even look when he addressed the man, "This little ruffian has been sneaking through this building. He even disabled one of the security cameras."

At Sergeant Donaldson's last remark the man laughed. "Well, we can't blame the boy for trying now can we. I'm sorry son, but your going to have to do a lot better than that to get past this security. Hey Sergeant, why don't you let me handle the boy. I'll makes sure the camera is put back into place."

A disgusted look greeted the scientist's suggestion, but, while loathing it, he handed the boy to scientist. The man bowed graciously to the Sergeant before pressing down on the elevator button. "So first off my name's Jonathan Gardner. I am the head scientist in the Research and Development Department here at Silph Co., Bombur Branch. You know I have a son about your age. His name's Ammon. Have you met him? No? Well that's fine, just fine. It's a big world, or small depending how you look at it.

"So what's your name and why exactly were you sneaking around? Of course if you don't want to tell me perhaps you would like to tell the lovely Sergeant Donaldson? I'm sure he would love to hear an explanation as to why you stole poor Daniel's things. A bright young man, but not too well adjusted to city life I'm afraid."

The tall man grinned mischievously as he edged his finger toward the seventh floor button.

Then the man laughed again. He cleared his throat and his turned serious. He said, "I'm sorry I shouldn't have laughed. While I am not a medical doctor I know for certain that those won't help you friends paralysis. Don't worry though. I hear there are a lot of things that can help continue on his journey. Who knows maybe they'll find a way to fix his legs. Now back to the matter at hand. Could you tell me your name? I won't bite and I'm very serious about that."

Jonathan paused a moment then said, "I have an idea. Would you like to see the lab? I could show you the new project I'm working on."

The elevator continued for a short while longer downward until it stop on Basement Floor One. Jonathan stepped out of the elevator, then turned back to Chris and said, "Well what do you say?"

"We're actually working on a high-tech pokedex. If you could believe that. Most of the functions we wish to be on the pokedex are complete: MP3 player, GPS system, encyclopedia, phone, but one crucial element remains," Jonathan said as he showed the guard his pass and walked into the lab.

The lab was filled with high-tech equipment and gadgets. One wall there was a shelf filled with various Silph Co. products. One such product was the Silph Scope. Several glimmered in the florescent light. Jonathan led Chris to the middle table where a round device roughly three feet in diameter lay. "This is the crucial element. It's a holographic projector, the smallest in the world. Holographic technology has been around for a long time, but never could be used practically. What we want to do is change that. We plan on putting a projector on the pokedex, but not only that. We want the user to be able to manipulate the projection as a type of GUI.

"I won't go into the techo-babble, but it is really a tricky thing to do. Image it though life-size 3D images of your favorite pokemon projected right from a tiny little device. Calling your friends and allowing you to talk to each as if face to face. Perhaps having a sophisticated AI capable of giving advice on the fly. It's the stuff of dreams, but it's close at hand.

"Each branch of Silph Co., Kanto, Johto, etc., are all working to complete there own prototype first, but we're the farthest along. Well anyway, enough of the boring chitchat. Since you have been such a good sport I think I'll give you something from the lab. Go ahead choose and pick. I'll even let you get one for you friend."
