drive.google.com/file/d/1C3dqKusoN95cCNl5gcgxYtBDuyStZuKg/view?usp=sharingSam and Wally have arrived in a Spike Weed town, a small farming community at the edge of a creek. There is apparently a professor of some sort who lives here. Aside from that, it doesn't seem like much is going, but who knows? [ OOC: You should move around and talk to people. When not in battle, we won't worry about your speed rating. Just say where you want to go, and what to do, and I'll do move your tokens and initiate conversations, events, etc.]

Wally looks around. He notices a dark-skinned female not too far away.
Wally: Sam, should we ask her where to find the Professor?

"Sure," Sam replies with a slight shrug. "Or the guy by the water, or the one in the field. Or we could just wander until we spot a large building, or one with a sign that says it's the Professor's Lab, or whatever."
He shifts his stance slightly checking that his bow's string is still placed in a way that'll let him string is quickly, should there be a need. "I'm personally wondering if we can have our Pokémon out here with us, or if there's a law against that in towns."

Wally chuckles.
Wally: Not me. Bronzor likes it in his Poké Ball. I don't make him leave it unless I have to. Well, pick one of these guys and say hello for us.

[OOC: Does this mean you want to talk to the man by the river first? If so, here is the start of that.]
Guy by The River: Hello there; I'm Ponce! What's up with you two?"

Somewhat randomly, since it doesn't much matter in his mind, Sam makes his way towards the guy by the river.
"We're here to meet with the Professor," he admits.
He holds up his one PokéBall and asks, "Are people allowed to have their partners out and about in this town?"

Ponce: Not sure about any rules; it's iffy right now. A gang of bandits, led by a hoodlum called Jake, roams around here. You might want to take out your Pokemon to be ready to defend yourself, in case they decide to pay us a visit. Then again, you might alarm the people into thinking you're part of that gang!
As for that professor, well; he calls himself that. Not rightly sure what he's professor of, but he lives on that cattle farm just south of here, if you want to go talk to him and figure it out.

Sam nods his head once, tapping the button on the end of the 'Ball to enlarge it and tossing it about a foot away from him, towards the river. "Come on, Leila. Get a drink, if you need one. Then just stick by me, okay girl?"
While the Eevee is deciding if she wants a drink, the boy holds his hand out, "Thanks for the help, Ponce. I'm Sam, and now you've met Leila too. If you need help while we're still in town, just leave word at the Pokémon Center...if there is one here." He looks to Wally and waits a beat to see if he'll introduce himself. If he doesn't, then the boy adds, "And he's Wally."

Ponce: Hello there, Wally! Always glad to meet new people in this town, which isn't often. Anyway, if you follow that road south, you'll find Professor Oat's cattle farm!

Wally: Professor ... Oat??
He casts a glance at Sam.

Sam patiently waits for Leila to finish deciding if she wants a drink and to come to heel before he shrugs at Wally. "None of us get to pick our names, so it's just like any other name, isn't it?"
He then starts to move south, along the waterway until buildings/fences or the like force him to turn to the path.

With a soft, low whistle to get Leila's attention, then a comforting "hold up" hand gesture, Sam turns to look back at Wally. "Are you coming!? This is very 'farm-like' to me!" he offers a grin and an overly exaggerated wave of the arm that's not holding his bow, then he turns and continues down the path, tapping his palm to his thigh and offering a rather excited, "Let's go, girl!"

The two arrive at the destination, and the man they are looking for is right outside. drive.google.com/file/d/1BziCfnvNtFKZ9XPO0Vu_vLtMpGIpUeWw/view?usp=sharingDaniel Oat: Howdy dudes! My name is Daniel Oat, and people call me the Pokemon Professor! Actually, by "people", I mostly mean "I", and by "Pokemon Professor", I mostly mean "Chemistry Professor Who Works With Pokemon", but I'm the closest this little podunk has to an authority! What can I do for you? I'll tell you what I can't do, and that's give you a Pokemon to start your journey, but luckily at least one of you has one already!

Sam looks to Wally after the "Professor" introduces himself.
"And here we are, Wally," he offers, nodding respectfully to the man before them. "And that's right. A Cousin of mine who's only interested in single-stage Pokémon won her in a game of Voltorb Flip and was nice enough to give her to me for my Birthday. As for why we're looking for you... I'll let Wally answer that one."
(OOC: I have no clue. XD )

Wally: The valuable minerals and fossils. The region is sort of well-known for them. We were hoping you might know something interesting about them, Professor Oat.

Daniel Oat: Fossils are found in the cliffs by Rattoon, a bit northwest of this town. As for minerals, there's a mine not too far south of this town, but it might be stripped clean. You can go find out if Zubats don't drive you Zubatty!

"Is there anywhere in town where we can get PokéBalls?" Sam asks once the directions are given.
