It was a beautiful day in Anchore Town. The sun was shining. The grass was green. The air was warm. Overall, it was a perfect day for a young boy or girl to start their adventure with their first Pokemon.
But not for Daniel Andrews, a 20-year-old student at Orre University who was spending his junior year abroad in Bombur to study the various Pokemon of the region in order to possibly become a Pokemon Professor himself.
He was tall and lanky, with a long white lab coat, messy, dirty-blonde hair, blue eyes behind half-moon glasses, a T-Shirt depicting a Mudkip saying "So i herd u liek Mudkipz?", jeans, and a backpack. But his clothes were all scratched up and muddy, and he looked thoroughly beat up.
'"We're trying to save money.' He said! 'We don't want to take time away from your studies.' He said!! 'We'll just parachute you from a cargo plane as it flies over Anchore Town.' He said!!! 'What could possibly go wrong?' He said!!!!!"
"A LOT COULD GO WRONG, DAD!!!!! YOU'RE 'PAYLOAD SPECIALISTS' COULD OVERSHOOT THER INTENDED TARGET AND HAVE ME LAND IN THE MIDDLE OF DECORUS WOODS!!!!! AND I COULD ACCIDENTALLY LAND IN THE MIDDLE OF A NEST OF MANKEY, CAUSING THEM TO ATTACK ME!!!!!!! I HATE YOU!!!!!!!"
"Someone needs to calm down..." A mechanical soprano answered from the backpack.
"I JUST GOT ATTACKED BY SOME OF THE MOST IRATE POKEMON KNOWN TO MAN, AND YOU WANT ME TO CALM DOWN?!?!?"
"Well, at least get some medical help for your leg..."
Daniel looked down at his bleeding leg, and realized that his impromtu crutch of a tree limb wouldn't help him for long. He took a deep breath, and sighed.
"You're right, Dominique. Thanks."
"That's what I was programmed to do."
Daniel limped over to a large building, and burst through the doors to find someone that looked like a lab assistant inside.
"Help..." Daniel muttered before collapsing.

((FYI, "lab assistant" was Aaron.))

Aaron spun around to look at the door when it burst open, and was very surprised to find a beat-up young man wearing a lab coat had just collapsed on the floor. "Oh, dear. Are you alright?" he said as he rushed forward to help the fellow up and check for serious injuries. Then realizing how foolish the question was, he asked instead, "What happened?" as he tried to help the young man sit in a nearby chair.

"My good friend here, Daniel, appears to have sustained injuries from our landing." A mechanical, yet feminine, voice replied from the man's backpack.
The backpack started to vibrate, and a gold and silver-colored laptop rolled out of the backpack.
"Please pick me up and open me. I will be able to explain our current situation much more easily." The voice continued, emanating from the laptop.

Aaron was quite curious about the talking laptop. He guessing that it must involve a particularly advanced AI, since there was little else that could cause an electronic device to speak and act autonomously like that. He picked up the laptop as instructed, then set it on a table near the young man - Daniel, it seemed his name was - before opening it.

As the laptop opened, a faintly glowing panel where the keyboard should be activated, and once the laptop was open, a foot-tall hologram appeared. The image showed a young woman, about 20-something, with long, flowing hair, an angelic face, and a beautiful body, albeit ethereal. She had a few silver ribbons in her hair, and another bow on her chest where a red gem lay. She also has two halves of a skirt on either hip. Her color scheme was gold and silver, and she started stretching as she materialized.
"Ugh! Thank you so much! We had a long flight, and the parachute drop didn't help much either! I'm Dominique, and this is Daniel Andrews. We would like to enroll in this region's Pokemon League."

As the holographic woman introduced the pair, Aaron looked thoughtful. "Dominique and Daniel Andrews?..." After a moment more of thought, his face suddenly showed recognition. "Oh, I remember now. We got a message ahead of time that you would be coming. It's highly unusual that an AI would wish to enroll in the league, so I was contacted previously that you had permission." With a nod and a smile he looked at the two again. "I'd be happy to get you started...but wouldn't it be wise to get you some medical attention, Daniel? Or would you prefer Mr. Andrews?"

Daniel got up, trying to keep his balance.
"I just need a first-aid kit for now. I don't have any broken bones, and the chance of internal bleeding is low."
"Sir, you probably should lie down and let Aaron call some paramedics..."
"No. I've been waiting for months for this opportunity, and I don't think I'll waste another minute!"
Domnique sighed at the stubbornness of her master.
"Yes, sir, but as soon as I finish updating my systems to accomodate this region's settings, I'm calling for an ambulance."
Daniel grabbed a nearby broom and staggered over to Aaron.
"Now, what Pokemon do you have for us?"

Aaron still looked rather concerned, but if Daniel said he was alright for now, then he supposed they must continue.

"We actually have quite a selection of pokemon for new trainers," he said as he led Daniel to the tables on which several groups of pokeballs rested. "For Fire-types, we have Commolten and Xoskillitn," he continued, pointing to the appropriate group of pokeballs as he named their contents. "Our Water-types are Sukus and Ninemone, and our Grass-types are Youthistle and Holliguana. We also have an additional option." He pointed to the last group of pokeballs, which were set apart from the rest. "A trainer can choose instead to receive a random pokemon, in which case they don't know what they will get until they open the pokeball. Now then," he concluded, turning back toward Daniel, "If you know which one you'd like, just chose a pokeball and open it to meet your new partner."

Daniel reached for the Comolten Pokeball, while Dominique's avatar pointed at the Youthistle Pokeball, which Daniel also picked up, and placed near a robotic arm that the laptop extended.
"We'll take these two, thank you."
Dominique proceeded to name her Youthistle "Salsola", while Daniel gave his Comolten "Halley".
"Now, where's the first Gym Leader? My database says that he should be in this town..."

Aaron smiled, though it looked both amused and slightly secretive. "I can show you the way to the first Gym. But first, it would probably be helpful to know a bit more about what your pokemon can do." He pointed to a machine in one corner that had a screen on its front and a slot for a pokeball. "Just place the pokeballs in that machine, one at a time," he instructed.

Daniel placed Halley in first, and the screen came to life, showing him the Pokedex data for Halley.
"Dominique, can you access this database?"
"I can try, but I have no idea what else might be in there. Every single computer in this region seems to have something...else...in them. I cannot seem to find out the cause, but it might not be created by the computers themselves."
Daniel turned back to Aaron.
"Do you mind if my computer uplinks with your computer's scanning equipment? I came here to study this region's Pokemon for my college thesis paper, and I think that a preexisting database template might save us from haveing tocreate our own from scratch, which will take time we might not have. I will list you as a reference in my presentation, and I will even give you credit for making the template."

Aaron's smile grew slightly wider as he said, "I can provide you with all the information you'll need a little bit later, after you've beaten this town's Gym leader. But before then, you may want to find Salsola's information, as well." He indicated the machine, which still had Halley's information on its screen.

COMOLTEN
Lv. 5
Female
Fir

Moves:
Scratch [Nrm]
Scratches the foe with sharp claws.

Leer [Nrm]
Frightens the foe with a leer to lower defense.

Aaron waited until they had placed Salsola's pokeball on the machine, which hummed for a moment before displaying new information:

YOUTHISTLE
Lv. 5
Male
Grs

Moves:
Tackle [Nrm]
Charges the foe with a full-body tackle.
Leer [Nrm]
Frightens the foe with a leer to lower defense.

"Now then," Aaron said. "The Gym is actually very close. If you'll follow me, I'll show you the way there." he led the two to a door at the back of the lab, which opened to a large, bright room. The romm had no ceiling, allowing the sunlight to steam in uninhibited. The room also had a living carpet of grass, which has rows of white flowers growing in it. On closer inspection, the flowers marked out the lines for a pokemon battlefield.

"Welcome to the Anchore Gym," Aaron said with a grin. "Or perhaps I should say welcome to my Gym, since I am actually the first Gym Leader! We can start your battles immediately, as soon as you decide which of you will be going first." He walked to one side of the field and stood in the box that was marked of for a trainer, and waited for his first challenger.

Daniel and Dominique just stood there (well, Daniel was holding Dominique), both of them with their mouths hanging open.
"Dibs."
"What?"
"You heard me. Dibs. I go first."
"No fair!"
"A lot of things in this world aren't fair, master." Dominique taunted.
"Fine." Daniel seethed, reaching into his backpack to get out a tripod.
He placed the tripod in the opposite Trainer's box, and set Dominique on top of that. Dominique's camera attachment sprung to life as Daniel loaded Salsola into her Pokeball launcher.
"Ready?"
"Ready as I'll ever be."
"Good luck."
Daniel stepped back as Dominique completed the uplink with her tripod, allowing her to rotate on the base.
"Salsola, go!"
She launched the Pokeball at a low angle so it would roll until it released, which it did, summoning a cute plant that resembled a head, complete with spiny "hair".
"Youthistle!" Salsola chirped.
"Your move."

((OOC: Umm...thanks. I Just thought it would be interesting to have a college student in a Pokemon game. And a sentient computer. I mean, no one else here has done it before. Why not? And Miravistel, I was wondering something: What is the Cyber Realm, and how do you get to it? Because that's what I was referencing a couple of posts back with the mysterious portions of the computers.))

(OOC: I caught that reference, actually.

I believe the Cyber Realm can't be accessed by a trainer until they beat the Elite Four, so even the trainers who've made the most progress so far have a ways to go.)

Aaron nodded, then tossed out a pokeball of his own. "Let's go, Nevermore!" he called as a small, dark-colored bird pokemon appeared. "Nevermore!" it squawked as it eyed its opponent.

"Start off with a Growl," Aaron instructed.

His pokemon fluffed out its wings a bit to make itself look bigger before producing a loud growl.

((OOC: So we BOLD our moves?))

Salsola shuddered as its Attack dropepd slightly.
"Counter with a Tackle!"
Salsola charged at Nevermore, ad hit it, but the attack wasn;t as powerful as it should've been.

(OOC: The staff usually does, you're free to bold them or not as you wish.)

Nevermore was hit squarely by the attack and skidded backward slightly from the impact.

Aaron was about to call out his next command when he noticed Daniel waiting to the side and it reminded him of something. "Oh, Daniel," he called. "If you head back into the lab, there's a first aid kit just to the left of the door, and a sink just beside it. While we're battling, you could use them to bandage yourself a bit. I'm sure you'd like to be in good shape for our battle!" Then he turned back toward the battlefield and said, "Nevermore, go for a Peck now."

His pokemon quickly charged toward its opponent with its beak outstretched.

Danel hobbled off to get the medpack while Dominique countered.
Salsola took a bit of extra damage, but used Tackle again, taking out even more of her opponent's HP.

((OOC: How do we gauge when a Pokemon is getting weaker?))

(OOC: We trust you to use your own judgement as to how long your pokemon can reasonably continue to battle.)

Nevermore was knocked back from the attack and fell over hard.

"Let's keep going Nevermore, Tackle it this time."

It took a moment for Nevermore to struggle back to its feet, but then it rushed at Salsola as fast as it could.

Salsola took the hit, and took a second longer to recover than usual.
"Alright! One more hit should do it! TACKLE!!!"
Salsola charged, and bowled over the poor raven Pokemon.
