People are already in a bustle as the sun begins to peek over the horizon in Quartz Village. The old couple that runs the Poke Mart begins to put together the Trainer gift baskets they will present to the new batch of trainers to begin their journey, and the Joys at the Poke Center are making sure everything is neat and presentable. The residents of Quartz have been awake for a while now, preparing various foods and most anything else you can think of to make the event something special for the new teams leaving out today.
By mid-morning a crowd has formed around the lab where Professor Plum and the Ulari Region Champion, Jack Hondo, are both waiting outside for the new trainers to arrive. As each Team forms up, Plum and Hondo take them into the lab and give them their requested starting Pokemon and PokeDexes, then return outside for the next Team.
Just to the South of the lab is an older gentleman at a booth surrounded by children waiting to become trainers. As they give him their names he checks them off of a list and assigns them to their teammates.

safebooru.org//images/1446/795e4194e48b8d971c2bcdcb30bf9830d8b354ac.jpg Oh god I'm so nervous. But this... is ... awesome~
Judith eyes sparkled with anticipation as she approached Professor Plum's lab. Along the way, various sights and smells helped her to remain composed and proper. Judith could not help but peek around; the more rural aspect of this town demanded that she investigate it thoroughly. Nevertheless, she resigned herself to simply press her face up to the pokemart window to peek in as she passed by. She waved at the workers and continued to stroll down the path while mentally singing I'm gonna get a po - ke - mon~ po - ke - mon~ po - ke - mon~ I'm gonna get a pokemon and we'll be friends~
Judith bobbed her head side to side as she slowly arrived outside of the lab..A hearty amount of new trainers were already there and had begun to partially block her view. She prepared herself the only way she knew how: a quick scrunchy adjustment and a stretch. With that out of the way, she boldly walked towards the crowd ready to introduce herself.

http Tyler wiped sweat off his bro as he jogged back towards the Kiosk. He'd done a full lap around the outside of town. The Pokémon fields where Plum kept her Pokémon were so huge! He'd thought as he passed it, and taken a shorter way instead of the outside of that. Now his thoughts were all nevers and wonder. What's my pokémon going to be like, who am I going to be paired with? His eyes went over the crowd of trainers in front of him, and the black haired girl giving a stretch before she joined the crowd. I'm sure they're nice anyway.Without any further delay he made for the line, eager to get his grand adventure started!

Pierce blinks from behind his sunglasses as he takes in how large the crowd has gotten. He'd gotten here early in the hope of avoiding the sheer amount of strangers but had been informed that his teammates hadn't yet arrived. I have no idea if I want them to be here now or to wait until half these people have left. He thinks, cleaning his spare glasses. On the bright side I'm finally getting a pokemon. Whichever rock type they've arranged will be perfect.
He turns in a circle from his position in the line next to the lab's door surveying the crowd again.

Maribelle needed no introduction, and there were certainly many who already recognized her. At least she hoped there were. She had a small candy orb on a stick firmly in her mouth as she smirked and stood proud.
''Tee hee hee. Better watch out bro! Your big sis will show you how it's done!''
Smiling, she joined the line, waving to anyone who did recognize her. She was wearing one of the dresses she wore while on tour with ''Oblivion Wing'', a gothic ensemble complete with a small crown. She was certain that the Vanillite she made sure her parents would get for her would be the perfect partner.
She had even brought a few special items with most of her starting fortune she had brought with her. She wouldn't tap into what the band had earned from album sales unless she needed too. How rude that would be! She had a small headset microphone with her, but she dared not wear it. It wasn't exactly a cheap piece of equipment, and in this crowd? She didn't trust any of them!

The old man sees Maribelle walking by and points her out with his bony finger, shouting at her.
"You! Trumpers' girl! Do you happen to know..." He adjusts his glasses and strains to read the names on the list stumbling over them a couple of times. "Do you know ehhh... Judith La.. LaVed-ette, a uh, whasthis name here a Tyler Sans or a Pierce Spinelle? Spinel? A Pierce Spinal? Do you know any-oh hey I know Spinel nice kid-Do you know any of those three?"

Tyler looked ahead at the old man who had called his name, then looked back trying to find who he had ben pointing to, likely another teammate. There was a short blonde haired girl wearing a gothic looking dress a bit outside the crowd, could that be her? She seemed slightly familiar too...

Pierce looks up upon hearing his name, recognising the old man. He steps forward and smiles. "I'm right here Mr Hanson. Have my team mates arrived?"

safebooru.org//images/1446/795e4194e48b8d971c2bcdcb30bf9830d8b354ac.jpg Wait was that me? Ooo oh yes! I better hurryyy~Judith yet again adjusted her scrunchy and stepped forward to introduce herself. "Hi there, my name is Judith. I believe I just heard my name called." Her attempts at acting proper and formal were dashed by her overeager facial expressions and her inability to contain the nervous energy causing her leg to shake ever so gently with anticipation. She quickly reached out to shake the nearest hand she could grab, not noting who it belonged to, at which point any semblance of formality was lost. "Hi hi. I'm Judith. Definitely excited to be on a team. I'm a fan of a lot of stuff, but I like making pokeballs and um... oh yeah, and I love running and doing acrobatics and other stuff!" By this point in the handshake, she decided to include her second hand and was using both to vigorously shake whoever's poor appendage she had latched onto.

As Pierce announced his presence it dawned on Tyler that he should too. "Oh hi, I'm Tyler!" He said, raising his voice a bit so both the old man and Pierce could hear. Suddenly he found himself being wildy shaken by the arm by the girl he'd met ealier, Judith. By the time she was shaking with both hands he knew she was friendly at least, and couldn't help but let out a little laugh. "Hi Judith, great meeting you. I'm Tyler, and I like running too." He said with a smile. Yeah, this was gonna go alright.

"Oh good, you're all right here. That was convenient. You four all go wait by the lab over there and I'll add you to be the next group to do your introductions and what-not." The old man looks down at the table and begins typing something into the tablet nearby, presumably to let the Professor and Champion know your group is ready when they are. "It might be a little bit before they can get to you. They have a whole spiel they have to get through before presenting the new trainers their Pokemon and such. So why don't you eh... You four just talk amongst yourselves until they come get you. Seems like Judith here is already on top of that though hehe." The old man smiles as he laughs before having a small coughing fit and going back to his list of trainers, waiting for the next trainer to come to him for team assignment.

Pulling his hands away from Judith, Tyler starts to walk towards where the man directed. "Why don't the four of us talk where we're supposed to wait then." He was getting properly excited now, even if he seemed calm on the outside. His hands were flexing as he imagined picking up the pokéball...

"Of course Mr Hanson." Pierce said with a nod to the elderly gym leader before following Tyler. "Yes. If we are to be a team it would be best if we are well acquainted with each other." He begins, straightening his posture. "I am Pierce Spinel from Wecht. I intend to specialise in rock type pokemon due to my interest in gems, shards and fossils. It is a pleasure to meet the three of you."

Maribelle bounced over to the old man and grinned brightly. She was loud. "No, I can't say I do!"
She then reeled it in. "But they look pretty cool. If they don't already know me, they soon will! They're my new team, right?" She had a dangerous smile on her face as she removed the candy on a stick from her mouth and twirled it a few times.

Tyler held out his hand to Pierce. "Nice to meet you Pierce, I'm Tyler, Errr, Tyler Sans. I just want to get strong and keep nature in good shape." He was going to introduce himself to the last of the four when her expression stopped him. Sure, she was smiling, but there was danger written all over that and it felt like staring at a Beedrills nest. "U-Um... H-hi?" He managed to stutter out, his usual calm no match for Maribelles... Maribelle-ness.

"Hehee heh hehee. It's nice to meet you too. I'm Maribelle Trumpers, vocalist for "Oblivion Wing"! We're somewhat popular you know!"
She giggled again and held out a hand to shake as she stuck the candy back into her mouth.

safebooru.org//images/1446/795e4194e48b8d971c2bcdcb30bf9830d8b354ac.jpg Another hand to shake!
Judith quickly went from hand to hand, quickly shaking each hand that she was able to get a hold of. "Hi hi. Like I said, my name is Judith. I do acrobatics and other stuff like that at a resort in Kramer. It's awesome. I love jumping through the air and I'm nervous right now so I'm talking at a million miles per hour but I really hope we can get along." Judith nervously held her hands together as she sped through her introduction. "I can't wait to learn tons of things traveling with you guys~ ooooo I can't just wait to get my pokemon!" Judith anxiously looked around hoping to find the professor getting their pokemon ready.

Speakers in this Post Professor PlumJack Hondo A group of trainers about your age emerge from the Professor's Lab, chattering excitedly about their starting Pokemon. They immediately head over to another group of trainers and all eight begin talking at once. A few short moments later, a woman with purple hair steps out of the lab, pointing to your group and motioning to enter. She steps back inside the door as you all walk into the building. The rush of cool air is almost chilling as you enter the lab. The woman smiles as she leads you down a hallway with doors on either side of you. Anyone glancing in through the windows can see other scientists hard at work performing exams on various Pokemon. Within a few minutes you all step into a large room with a number of machines with various unknown purposes lining the walls. At the end of the room is a table with four Poke Balls on it, and behind the table a bearded man with dark blue robes awaits. The woman leads you to the table and steps behind it next to the man. Hello there. I am Professor Plum. Next to me is Ulari Pokemon Champion Jack Hondo. You four, obviously, have been selected to become Pokemon Trainers. Don't let today's festivities fool you, even though there are a number of groups being formed today to go out on their adventures at the same time, it is a rare and special honor to be an official trainer. As a group you will all be responsible for one anothers' well being, but everything from this moment going forward is up to you.Jack clears his throat and puts on a smile. Hello there. You know, it seems like only a few short years ago that I was standing there with my team receiving our starters. My Charmander and I fought many a battle along side one another, and eventually my team and I rose through the ranks to become the Elite Four, before I moved on and became Champion. But that was our goal from the beginning. We knew what we wanted to do and we went for it. Perhaps you all will join Team Shadow, a fun opportunity I assure you. Or perhaps you will take up the mantle o' the heroes, trying to prevent their nefarious plan from becoming fulfilled. Only you know what is in store for you, and I doubt that you can all tell what exactly that may be just now.Hondo steps back and gives the floor to Professor Plum again, who turns to the monitor behind her and presses a button showing the image of a Slakoth. Tyler, you are receiving a Slakoth. These Pokemon aren't known for being particularly... Active... But they are quite powerful, especially after they have evolved. I wont lie and tell you this will be an easy Pokemon to raise, but if you take care of it, it will be a rewarding experience.Hondo presses the button next, showing an image of a Mareep. Judith, you shall become the proud trainer of a Mareep, born and raised right in Hanson. A docile and charming breed of Pokemon that can unleash devastating electric attacks. This is one of the easier Pokemon to take care of, so long as you show it attention and affection it will be a partner that stands beside you until the end of time.Professor Plum presses the button again, revealing the image of a Vanillite. Ms. Trumpers, I have to admit to being incredibly surprised at seeing you had requested this Pokemon as your starter. And not just this Pokemon breed, but this specific one. Your Vanillite and you clearly already have a bond, something rare and special for a new trainer to have already experienced.Hondo presses the button one more time, and a small bug-like Pokemon appears on screen. Hondo looks confused as he stares at the image for a moment, looking at Professor Plum fairly dumbfounded. She nods her head and speaks up. Pierce, I know you have requested a Rock type Pokemon. Unfortunately, they seemed to be all-too common a request this go-around. As a result we are giving you this Dwebble. As you can see, he was hatched without his rock home. We've done some tests and it appears that, for all intents and purposes, he's a completely healthy and normal Dwebble. The only differences we've come across are that it is unusually susceptible to attacks that it would normally be resistant to. We're sure that if you can find him a rock-home that he is willing to take as his own that it would go right to normal though.The four Poke Balls sit on the table in front of you all, with a hologram image of the Pokemon contained inside floating in front of them. Plum and Hondo both look rather pleased as they stand behind the table. You are all free to take your Pokemon now. Additionally, these are going to be yours as well.He pulls out four PokeDexes from his robe and sets them on the table behind each Poke Ball. These PokeDexes have already been scanned with your starting Pokemon, and as such have your basic trainer information entered as well. You will also be able to trade Trainer ID's with another trainer, and can use these as essentially cell phones if you need to reach them. They already have the rest of your team's ID's entered, as well as the ID for Professor Plum, should you ever need to reach her for some inexplicable reason. I'm sure you wont though. Its mostly a formality. Now, do any of you have any questions at all as you receive your starters?

Tyler was speechless. Partially because he still hadn't fully recovered from that scary feeling he got from a soon-to-be-teammate, and partially because this was it. This was when his journey as a Pokémon Trainer truly begins. Skipping asking any questions, and with a shaky hand, he reached out and took his Pokéball. Then he turned his hand back towards him and just stared for a second, before taking a deep breath and smiling. Yeah, this was it. So lets just be cool about it. Especially before I meet my new friend here. With his composure regained he asks "Is it ok to let our Pokémon out here to get to know them? Or should we go back outside first?"

Professor Plum chuckles lightly.
Under normal circumstances I would allow you all to let your Pokemon out and get to know them in here. But as we are kind of on a tight schedule, any introductions should be made outside. Anything else?
