"Wise choice, you got a good one here." The doctor pointed his pen at Bonnie while looking at the Heracross, who smiled back at the doctor. The Heracross did not have a lot of time with her new owner but so far, she has been sweet and the Bug Pokemon certainly enjoyed her gentle stroke. She did not have this kind of attention with her former owner -- the ranch. It was to be expected as the rancher has a ton more Pokemon to care everyday than any regular trainer, especially so with the number of Pokemon per person law in place. But, a Heracross or many other Pokemon would not think that thorough. The Heracross always wished she could get more of the attention, like she was getting right now, though she somehow felt that might change when more Pokemon join her. For now, she would enjoy herself.
"Please, leave those innocent Pidgey alone, will you?" The doctor went back to his note after that, writing things down. "The Pidgey will just stay in the Tower of Babel forever once you get enough of the so-called high-tier Pokemon, caged in this man-made forest until it passes away and never seeing its trainer again. Or they don't release the Pidgey either, thinking it might be good for backup one day if their alpha and beta squad need some rest, but really, how many Pokemon are ahead of a Pidgey?" The doctor continued to ramble as he wrote, and only then Bonnie found a chance to cut in and ask about the arms, which froze the doctor for a second. Wait, did he miss examine them? "Arms?" He looked at the Heracross again, yeah, they were thinner than they should be from all his experience. He flipped around the pages of notes. "Arms...arms...here it is." Relieved, the doctor read the part once again before his answer. In between that, Bonnie felt her phone vibrating for a brief moment. "Okay, it might be that she is slow to mature or the calcium has put a strain in her arm development -- and horn too. I doubt it's genetic but we will surely know after the trip to the Tower of Babel. Speaking of the Tower, I will make a call and Heracross will be there within the next half hour. We already got your phone, probably, but you can give it again to the nurse on the front desk if you want to be safe. And we will contact you after she's back, likely by this afternoon if everything goes smoothly. "
The doctor then turned to the Heracross. "Bid your trainer farewell for now, you will see her again soon." The Heracross has her full attention on Bonnie though, enjoying being close to her for now.

At the doctor's challenge, Bonnie perceived his plea to leave the Pidgey alone a challenge, Bonnie snorted indignantly. She was fully riled up to prove the doctor wrong... except her appointment with him wasn't done. As he explained about Heracross's arm, the excitable trainer calmed down... a bit. Basically, sending Heracross to the Tower of Babel was sounding like an even better choice.
When the time came to bid farewell, Bonnie slid off her chair and knelt in front of her Heracrosss. She gave the big bug an affectionate pat, already sad to see her go even though they hadn't known each other for half a day yet. Whether the Heracross could understand her or not and whether it already knew or not, Bonnie reiterated what was about to happen, "Alright, big girl. I know we just got to meet each other, but I'll be sending you to some place with a lot of doctors. They'll help you out as much as they can, and then I'll you again real soon. Okay?". One hand was constantly stroking the Heracross's head, which Bonnie had noticed was something that she liked. The other reached for the Pokeball and kept a loose hold on it, not hiding it so that the Heracross wouldn't feel like she was being surprise returned or anything. After whatever response the Heracross would give, Bonnie lifted the Pokeball in a slow, deliberate manner and then pressed the button to return the Bug Pokemon.
Once Heracross was returned, Bonnie stood up and looked at the doctor. "So..." she asked, deciding that maybe it was wiser to not make a big fuss about Pidgeys, "how will we be sending Heracross to the tower, again?"

Despite the sad feeling from Bonnie, the Heracross was looking as joyful as she was just a moment ago, even more happy now that her owner was given her more attention. She looked to take all of them until more Pokemon showed up, which she knew would happen eventually. She has in big community too much to percept thing in a different way. Besides, parting away was something she has to get used to with a lot of her friends leaving the ranch every year -- and they rarely came back; and those who came back would be leaving again when time came. Not that this Heracross understood "year" or any of the human's time tracking stuffs, but she knew one day would eventually come that she has to say good bye to those she knew dear. After enough times of these, she has learnt to not think too deeply into them. And hey, they would meet again real soon, so it's no biggie.
The doctor just stayed quiet the whole time. The most impulsive moment he has was when Bonnie took the Pokeball from the table. Not like it was anything wrong for the trainer to do whatever he wanted with his Pokeball, but the doctor was used to thinking everything on his table was his thing and he was under control of them. Nevertheless, the doctor was happy with how Bonnie did her farewell. Some Cobalions would just leave after a "good bye" and let the doctor take care of their Pokemon and some would even pressure the doctor by saying something akin to "I expect this to be done by X o'clock". Like damn, not even the hospital demanded that much from him, who did these trainers think they were?
"ToB delivery service, of course. One of them will come here - maybe with a Pidgeot, donated by your elder alumni - and take him to the tower within the next few minutes after I make the call. So, if you have nothing else to ask, please leave your Pokeball on the table and I will make the call. And you can relax until later tonight. I know you Cobalion don't really relax, but try to. Stressing your body, physically or mentally, and not rest is not healthy." The doctor said as he remained seated. His one hand was already by the phone as he awaited for this appointment to be over.

Bonnie chirpily replied with an enthusiastic, "Yes sir!" but of course she wasn't going to go and relax like the doctor told her to. As if she could sit still for very long on this, the first day of her adventure. As per his orders, though, Bonnie placed the Pokeball upon the doctor's desk and left after a bouncy bow and a polite farewell. Out in the hallway, Bonnie pulled out her phone, and texted out a quick reply. ‹ Kelley (423) 218 1594 >> Where r u?~ Want to travel together? TODAY, 12:58 PM
<< At the Pokecenter. My starter is getting a checkup today, so I won't be able to travel until tomorrow ヽ(●゚´Д`゚●)ノ゚ ヽ(●゚´Д`゚●)ノ゚ ヽ(●゚´Д`゚●)ノ゚. By the way, know of any place that might be hiring? My starting pack contained only coupons (´;ω;`) (´;ω;`) .
Of course, Bonnie was texting while walking, and with surprising speed considering all the emotes she had used. She finished the text just as she reached the doors that led out into the hospital lobby, which she of course went through. The first thing she did upon exiting the hallway was to glance over at the receptionist to see if she was required for anything else.

>> Wait what? You already in a wild battle or something? That was fast. I would wait for you but...the others are not that patient so, maybe we will meet again in other places~~ hehe~~ Hiring, I have heard that part time jobs are abundant around the city from our seniors. But why you only have coupons ~_~? I don't know, try searching the shop lot around the city, I guess.TODAY, 1:13 PM The sun did not feel that strong as Bonnie came out of the Pokecenter -- the receptionist made absolutely zero attempt to stop her. The sky was a little bit cloudy, especially by the north side of the horizon. Sucks for those who decided to go out of the wild without a tent today! Bonnie, she has no plan to go into the wild today...even if she fully wanted to do so. So, the city. Bonnie has been here for several years so she knew a little bit here and there. She could arguably know more if she did not pay so much attention to Pokemon-related stuff but still, the basic could just be what she needed to know before her next move. The center portion of the city, within the circle of the city train railroad, is the shopping district. People from all around the city go there for all kind of leisure activity. With the amount of shops around the district, work would theoritically be abundant. The south side of the city, as she was currently around, is probably not the first place to look for a job. The south side of the city is mostly known for the astronomy laboratory and museum above the hill. It used to be an exclusive government research facility but the city has then revamped the ground floor into an astronomy museum. Though Bonnie knew the hill not because of that but her former classmate has this goal of finding a boyfriend and the verdant hill - around the laboratory is a clear patch of grass with good view down the city - has always been a prime spot for couple to hang out. So yeah, not useful information at all until now. The other part of the city...Bonnie sadly did not know a lot about them. She could try her luck roaming around if she choose to, she has time.

"Here is... no good," Bonnie mutters to herself as she searches through all the information she had on the city. It was too bad that she didn't know more about the city, but alas, that was the price to pay for knowing more about Pokemon. In other words, Bonnie didn't regret it one bit. Energy still high, she decided with a jump into a wide stance and a fist raised into the air, "Let's do this!" "This" meaning the center of the city. At a brisk pace, Bonnie moved herself to the city's bustling shopping district.
Once she reached the shopping district, though, Bonnie didn't know what to do. She started by just entering whatever stores may have had a "hiring" sign on display.

Still full of energy, Bonnie headed straight to the heart of the city. Passing through from beneath the air rail, it was clear that she was now in the middle of the city she called home for the past four years. This distract was no stranger to her. She has been here a couple times, much like everyone living in the city, and the changes were little since the last time she has been here. Unlike the previous hours, the street was quiet. The people around her were largely elderly and/or very young children. Others were most likely back to work at this point.
So, the full circle was her to explore. The problem was that...she had not has a full overview of the whole area. She has been here before, shopping around some shops, but she was not a traveling guide or a city explorer on a quest to discover every edSo,ge and bit of the city. So, she decided to start with the south side. She was already here and she really felt like she could find something here. Feeling was never a reliable thing but this was all she has right now.
Bursting into a little ball of energy, she bolted through the scattered shops, looking particularly for any hiring notice or anything that she could earn money from in the past half hours. The circling around did make her discover about a lot of shops that she did not realize exist until now. As for her main purpose, well, let's just say she did not find a lot of hiring notices. She did find two:
One, Delibird Errant Service. Bonnie was not so sure about this...it looked empty inside and aside from the big Delibird statue in front of the shop, Bonnie could not tell much about the content of the job. The notice just said "WE ARE HIRING DELIBIRDS!!", and yes, all caps. Bonnie was not even sure if they were a) hiring actual Delibird(as if they could read or even be around the city); b) hiring trainer with Delibird; or c) their workers are called "Delibird" and they were hiring actual human.
Two, a pet shop on the edge of the circle was looking for shop assistant. One with experience with Pokemon was even better. Now, that seemed like a job made for her! Both options did not have any payment detail upfront so she probably had to go in and enquiry about them. Would she go for the safe route, or the daredevil-I-am-Delibird route? Or maybe she prefer to search other part of the circle for the next half hour for a better job?

Safe... Safe was good, but DAREDEVIL WAS EVEN BETTER! Granted, this wasn't exactly the stunt of the century, but interesting things came from those who took risks. After maybe two minutes of thinking, cue the Jeopardy music, Bonnie charged straight for the Delibird opening. Then she probably got tired partway through from having run all day and power walked the rest of the way.
With a confident stride--after all, if she failed, this was just one of many--Bonnie entered Delibird Errant Service. She looked around for some sort of receptionist, or just generally any other employee she could talk about the opening listed at the front. If none appeared in the first minute, then she'd call out into the seemingly empty store, "Hello? I'm here for the hiring sign posted at the front of the door. I had some questions about it."

Delibird-Bonnie charged toward the Delibird Errand Service building like a Brave Bird and opened the door with a strong Gust. Inside the little service center, she saw another notice board - man, these things were everywhere! - and behind the lone table of the spacious room, a man and what Bonnie would assume as his daughter. The little girl was still in her school uniform as she sat quietly and looked to be writing on something. The man - middle-aged, most notable trait would be the bald spot in the middle of his head - was talking to his daughter and looking at her writing until he heard sounds from the door. He stood and greet Bonnie as she closed in for her questions. "Ah, welcome to Delibird Errant Service! How may I help you today?" Bonnie could see twinkles in his eyes as she asked about the hiring sign. "Ah I see, so you are here to be our Delibird. Wonderful, you just might be our cutest Delibird -- aside from my daughter, of course, not that she is working for me now but she will." The man looked back at his daughter, who gave her father a smile before continuing on whatever she's doing.
The man seemed delighted by the response as well. The twinkles in his eyes grew brighter as he turned back to Bonnie. "If you have questions, ask away. Or I can just tell you what we do and what's your job. Either way is fine. And oh, please, have a seat." The man guided Bonnie to the chair on the other side of the table before sitting back down on his side.

(OOC: I RETURN FROM THE TERRORS OF SCHOOL.)
SUCCESS. Bonnie could be a Delibird! She jumped for joy at finding a part time job before settling, which meant bouncing on the balls of her feet, and answering, "Oh! Of course! Thank you!". She quickly took the offered seat and had to force herself still. "If you can start by telling me about what you do here and what's expected of me as your newest Delibird," Bonnie tried her best to speak professionally, but her chipper attitude was clearly apparent through her voice and smile no matter what she tried, "I would really appreciate it Mr... um... If I can have your name and your daughter's, I would also very much appreciate it!".

"We are an errand service so, we run errands for people that do not want to run those errand themselves for their own reason."[/b] The man said as he walked back to his seat and laid himself back down, carassing his daughter's hair as he did so. "You call me Mr.Gregory and my daughter is Eunice." He looked at his daughter for a brief moment, his eyes full of love. "Anyway, as you know, - I would appreciate your name as well - we are here to run errand for people. Over there on the big board are all the available errands for you to take on." Looking at the right side, yup -- it was indeed a big board akin to the one she checked out in the Pokemon Center, only with less notes on them and at a more favorable height for her...let's say, average figure. "Browse and find whatever task you'd like to do, do the job and come back here for your pay. We do take a 30% cut though - or lower if you are a veteran Delibird - so the number on the task is not what you will get at the end of your task. If you have no problem with the term, go ahead and pick an errand."

"A-ok!" Bonnie did the little okay sign thing with her fingers, "And the name is Bonnie Versa! I look forward to working with you, Mr. Gregory and Eunice!". Then, like the bundle of energy Bonnie was, she had dashed to the board in no time and proceeded to look through it carefully.

The man did not respond to the girl, merely nodding and allowing the newest worker of his Delibird network to check out the board. Unlikely the one in the Pokemon Center, this one has much less notes on it and a full scan was only a few minutes of time. To make sure she did not miss anything, Bonnie took some extra time to read each and every task. One thing she picked up quickly was that some of the errands were probably out of her capabilities. Another thing he spotted instantly upon examining the board was the big sign on top of it that said "all the client's details are confidential and will only be given to Delibirds who have accepted your task". Either way, if she ever expected these "errands" to be as easy as "buy grocery for me", she was dead wrong. For instance, one of the errands was an out-of-town delivery by a man who, based on how he write, was super afraid of his girlfriend. She made him promise to give her a present on every birthday and he actually forgot about it this year after spending the last few days working on his "project" - that's all he wrote about that part, can't know what kind of project it is - and he has to get the gift to his girlfriend by tonight. The catch? She was three towns away. Unless Bonnie miraculously found a flying mount or a very fast Rapidash, this would not be a task for her. There were also all kind of wacky requests. Like one was looking for a "human model" for his art project, "naked female" preferable. Who would take this kind of task here? Okay, the money was actually a lot but come on, that's dangerous! Then, there was one request looking for a thief to interview so his fiction revolving around thieves could be more realistic. Sounds like a good bait by the police to fish on some very stupid thieves. Also, there was one who wanted someone to queue for first row ticket for the upcoming concert of TITANS. Yeah right, like someone would take this job for 1,000 Pokedollar. TITANS is a world class band, everyone and their Minccino knew about them. First row ticket would easily sell for at least 10,000 and more importantly, one was expected to be sleeping outside the ticket booth for a few days just to get one. Few days of time for a mere 1,000 Pokedollar? This lazy fan be crazy! One thing she learned was that this errand service really did not screen off any request, so it became a task for the Delibird like herself to find out which of them were fair. After filtering out all the ridiculous offers and some hard ones that she was quite certain she could not fulfill or has to be done over a longer timeframe, she has her eyes on the following: The Journey to acquire the Forbidden Cake in the Dark Forest! Let's Succumb to Gluttony! $800 I really like cake but I cannot buy them myself. My mom said I am overweight and have to lay off all sweets but I just cannot. Please buy me a cake from Forest of Oz and deliver it to me personally(there might be sneaking to do). I will reimburse what you paid for the cake and give you extra. ulla Discover the Many Regions, Acquire the Treasures, I am the Pirate King!
$900 I would like another grocery run from a Pidgeot. As usual, come to my house for the list. ulla New Year Performance for the Orphan, with Love and Pokemon and Hope!
$600 + possible Bonus We are a pet shop and we are looking for a helper to help us in our performance for the local orphanage. Our performance assistant has her baby early and is on maternity leave at the moment, which is not expected for us. P.S. This is a good opportunity for any new Pokemon Trainer, don't miss out! ulla Outsourcing Homework?! Why Did I Not Think of This...Why Did I Not Have Money for This?!
$600 My new teacher is a real as----let's just say pain in the behind. I have been not doing my holiday homework every year and no teacher ever says anything until I met this this bit----wonderful lady and she insists that everyone has to finish them, even in this new semester. Like come on, madam, really? Why are you such a stickler to the rules? Well anyway, I don't want to waste my time on stupid craps like this. Come to my home and tell my parents I hired you for private tuition and finish my homework for me in one session. ulla

The temptation... was really, really strong to take one of the more absurd requests just so Bonnie could freak her sister out. However, she restrained herself and focused on the sensible, sane requests. There was no way that she could deny that excite of forbidden cake fired up Bonnie's blood, but really, it was no contest for the Pokemon performance errand. All silly thoughts were swept away as a fire lit in Bonnie's eyes as she found a job related to Pokemon that she could do.
Overreaction? Oh yeah, but this was Bonnie. She basically lived off of her overreactions. They rocketed her through times like this, when her options were limited.
With an eager flourish, Bonnie's hands swiped away the New Year Performance errand, already in the spirit of the job. Then!... Wait, what was she supposed to do next? Her dramatic pose dropped into crossed arms with a finger tapping against her cheek as she tried to remember what she was told not even five minutes ago. As she couldn't quite remember, Bonnie decided to play it safe and walked with a spring in her step and errand in her hand back to the main counter. Setting the notice on the counter, she asked eagerly, "Mr. Gregory, I'm back! Does this errand require me to use my own Pokemon? If it doesn't, then I would like to accept it.".

Bonnie made the right decision taking the note back to the table, as she was required to do so to get the address anyway. Upon receiving the question, Gregory slid the notice to his side for a closer look. "Doesn't specify right here. Probably not. I think you need to accomplish the task with whatever Pokemon they have over there. Your own Pokemon could be extra help, but not everyone has a Pokemon." Gregory said while working on the computer to find whatever he needed from it. "Alright, got the address over here but before that, there is something I want to give you..."
As Gregory was digging through whatever beneath the table, his little tag team partner stopped writing on the bunch of paper. Instead, she grabbed a piece of blank paper and started writing down something on the monitor screen. If Bonnie were to pay attention to the bunch of paper, she would see that the little girl was working on the errand papers she saw on the board. "So, how do you like the titles? Eunice thought that naming them like quests in video games would make it more interesting for you Delibirds. More like you are going on a quest than doing regular day's errand for people." Eunice did not seem to care about what you has to say. She passed you the paper she worked on, which was the address after Bonnie took a quick look at it, Gregory came back up with a red-colored hat. "Here's our hat. As the owner of this franchise-to-be, I would be very happy if you keep wearing the hat on the job. But I know most don't and I can't really monitor you out of here. So, at least wear it when you introduct yourself to the client and when you are in my sight. The client part is not optional, it's our little way to prove that you are really a Delibird working here and not a fraud so, please have it on when you are over there." Checking the cap, Bonnie would find that it is a regular cap, red in color aside from the front side and there is a Delibird logo in the middle of the white part.
"You are required to come back here for your payment after you are done. The client will call here and review your performance and affirm that you have indeed finish whatever you need to do. As you are a new member to our errand service, we will be charging 30% off your payment. If you have no further question, you are free to go on your quest." The quest, based on what Bonnie understood from the address, would take her down the west part of the city square. She probably has to refer to the sign post but this was certainly a different pet shop than the one he saw just now.

Her excitement briefly overflowing, Bonnie cheered, "Yes!" as she did a little hop and pumped her arms in victory. This was, of course, in response to the confirmation that she wouldn't need Pokemon to work with Pokemon. For the rest of the talk, though, she calmed down. Standing at-ease, Bonnie listened eagerly to the explanation. Every detail mentioned was responded to with a nod to confirm that she was listening. When the titles were mentioned, Bonnie took a look at them and gave some generic but also genuine praise in agreement of the idea that the titles were great. The cap was donned right after a quick inspection of the red color and the Delibird logo. It looked a little tacky, but its design was simple enough that Bonnie didn't mind wearing it while working. This would be her first job, but Bonnie could understand why Mr. Gregory was so keen on the hat.
As the explanation wound to a close, Bonnie adjusted her hat with both hands, giving it a short tip forwards to make sure it was firmly on her head. She proclaimed, "No questions here, sir! Onwards, ho!". That was it. Bonnie was gone just like that. She ended up coming back in the next moment to pick up the slip of paper Eunice had given to her, the one that Bonnie had forgotten on the counter even though she needed it to remember what the address of the destination was. After retrieving her forgotten key item and giving an embarrassed laugh, "Ehehe... For real this time!" she was off again!
As ever, Bonnie started her trip at the relaxing pace of an all-out run. Of course, not being particularly athletically gifted, it slowed to a walk sooner rather than later. In her excitement, though, she didn't get herself hopelessly lost... Or at least, she took measures against that. Using the sign posts on the way to the Western side of the city, Bonnie would, hopefully, find the shop in question without much trouble.

2:22PM, Day 1, January 1090
Gregory sent Bonnie away with hope and joy in his eyes, twice, including the time she went back for the items. Knowing the general direction she should go, she found the shop pretty easily once she was in the area. The shop has a big signs - "Happy Paws" - in front of it with - no surprise - a paw logo. Looking around and double checking the paper, Bonnie saw no other pet shop nor any sign of another "Happy Paws". Brimming with positivity, Bonnie approached the door and o--- a Whimsicott popped out from below, waving at the customer by the door. With keen eye of a coordinator, Bonnie could see that this one was well-groomed. Its cotton hair has been trimmed and styled and not merely a ball of fur. It fell slowly in the air, attached itself to the door handle and pulled it open for Bonnie to go in.
Inside the Happy Paw, Bonnie saw a bunch of Pokemon playing by themselves in a clear space by the end side of the shop. Unlikely what she expected, she saw no cage of any kind around the shop. But before she could look at more things, the shop assistant was in front of her. It was a young man who was probably in the early 20s, clean cut, a rather messy apron and a greeting smile. "Good afternoon and welcome to Happy Paws. How may we help you today?"

This shop, this Happy Paws, was definitely Bonnie's style. She had almost been distracted from her quest by the absolutely adorable and fashionable Whimsicott that was so nice as to open the door for her. Although, that didn't end up mattering because the moment Bonnie entered she was distracted by all of the Pokemon playing by themselves towards the end side of the shop. What kinds were they? What were they like? Most importantly, could she play with them, too?
Lucky for her, though, she was brought back to earth by the shop attendant who approached her. She looked him up and then down before suddenly going, "Ah!" as she remembered. "Yes!" she assured that she did indeed have something she could be helped with, "I'm with Delibird Errand Service and I was hoping I could help you with your performance at the local orphanage?".

"Great! Thank God we found someone at this very last day. My name is Bertrand, please, come in." Bertrand led Bonnie deeper into the shop and away from the door. He also kept himself talking throughout the way. "Your boss did call me just now and he mentioned you are a trainer, right?" [Let's just say Bonnie respond positively, "how" is your choice] "Okay, I think this task will be easy for you. Besides the fact that we only have a few hours to prepare, you should be good. Cottonball, leave the door and come here." Bertrand called for the Whimsicott by the door just now. "You too, Mohatu and Stacia." From the group of Pokemon came a Litleo and a Mime Jr. All three Pokemon were as obedience as they could be, gathering around Bertrand and waited for further order. "Here's your partners for the day. These are the three we have with performing license, which as you would as a trainer yourself, allows them to learn and perform 'attacks'. You are free to use other Pokemon we have as helpers for the show but they are pets and are prohibited to learn attacks. So, you can ask a Water Pokemon for simple effect like raining waters from above as long as it's not a damaging Water Gun. You know, it's complicated, rules and so, what I am saying...you probably know more than me, just run the show by me first. But before that, let's show you our training room." Before the man can lead you somewhere else, a Meowth who appeared out of nowhere stuck itself by Bertrand's leg and seemed to be wanting some attention. "Now is not the time, you know that." Bertrand kneeled and gently stroke the Meowth's fur, not a sign of irritation on his face. "Just give me few minutes and I will be here, alright? Now go, play." The Meowth did not look happy but left the man alone for now.
The man led you through the back door of the store front and into another room after a short corridor walk. It was a spacious, empty room, kind of like a dance practice room with no mirror. "You can use this room to plan your programme and get used to your partners, Cottonball, Mohatu and Stacia." The man introduced the three Pokemon once again, who now stood in a line in between you two. "We will be performing here and not the local orphanage. They will come here by riding Pokemon from our ranch partner in this event -- not important, back to your task. You can decide where you want to perform, outside the shop, the front or in this room. You can design the performance of about 10-20 minutes however you want, just use your three partners to their fullest. If you want more Pokemon, just come and get what you want from the front. Just know that they are not as well-trained as these three so they might need some time to know their role. Okay, that's about it -- oh wait, right, props." Bertrand grabbed a bunch of things out of his pocket and searched through them with his fingers. "There is a prop shop we are a member of and you can go there to get what you need. They supply props for movies, dramas and even circuses so you will surely find a lot of items there, even costumes if you have a theme." He found what he was looking for, it was a card of some kind and he handed it to Bonnie. "There you go, our member card. Show them this and you can take anything you need for free. Alright, I will leave you to work. I will be at the front when you need me." Just like that, the man left the room, leaving you with the three Pokemon anxiously looking at you.

"Eyup! Eyup!" Bonnie energetically affirmed that she was a trainer. She looked around at the mention of each name, logging in who Cottonball, Mohatu, and Stacia each referred to. Why, they were the absolutely adorable Whimsicott from earlier and the equally adorable Litleo and Mime Jr that docilely stepped out from the crowd. She couldn't wait to get started with her job, and had returned to bouncing on the balls of her feet like a hyper Buneary or something. Could she pet them yet? Could she hold them yet? Could she cuddle with them yet? No no no. That would be too unprofessional. She needed to show some control. The man, too, was very nice. She could tell from how each of the Pokemon responded to him and how he, in turn, responded to the Pokemon.
Obediently following her employer through the back door and into another room, Bonnie heeded the instructions he gave her well. She turned her head to each detail as it was mentioned. When the talk turned to the orphans, she looked back out the door. When the man mentioned a choice of performance stages, her eyes were back on the Pokemon, mind skimming through the countless program ideas that ran through her head. Then her head flicked back up to the storekeeper at the mention of props. Her head tilted a bit, but she didn't ask the question that caused her to tilt her head so, <Where is the prop store?>. She was barely managing to contain her squeals of excitement as it was with her mouth closed. Smiling as wide as a Banette but making about as much noise as a Honedge, Bonnie accepted the member card given to her and left as the man left the room.
She looked at the Pokemon, ready to let her excitement out all at once. That was when she caught the anxious expressions on their faces. Oh... Were they that scared of her? Well, that certainly... drained out all of Bonnie's hyperactivity. "Ohh...," she cooed as she crouched down to eye-level with the Pokemon, "I'm sorry, am I making you nervous?". Her smile had changed from exploding with excitement to apologetic sympathy. Holding both hands out for the Pokemon to approach as they will, Bonnie tried to ease their concerns, "It'll be okay, I promise...," with a greeting, "Hi, I'm Bonnie and I'm so super excited to meet and work with you all. I swear, I'm not scary. Well, I do find you all cute enough to hug with all my strength, so I guess maybe I am a little scary." A giggle followed the last sentence, half-truth and half-joke.
