Step one - Starter

[Deleted]

Here she was, it had been many years of sitting watching others and watching her life change out of her hands and now she was taking control back with a firm grasp on the door before her. She pulled it open and started in side with a grin on her face, she wasnt going to let anything get in her way anymore. She walked in to the office and then paused, waiting to be invited to go any where in case her bold side was coming over a little arrogant. She knew the two often came hand in hand and she didnt was to push it. 

She was here to get her first pokemon. Her first and only and her partner and she would use them to take on the world, find new places and camp out in the wilds with feral pokemon and fight them to befriend. She chuckled at the thought and felt her hand flex, she needed to remember to get a weapon as well as a partner pokemon. One was good, two was ideal.

For a moment Nix's entrance seemed to go unnoticed. Directly in front of her was a large desk that was occupied by a large woman wearing a royal blue suit with a tight bun of dark, silky hair. She was obviously entranced by her work, not so much as batting an eye upon the girl's appearance. Finally, the woman put down her pen and gestured for the girl to sit down in one of the two red-leather chairs facing the desk. "You're Nix Night correct?" 

The woman didn't give the girl a chance to speak before pulling five pokeballs out of her desk. "Anita Nguyen, although you probably know me better as the Ambassador." Her tone seemed quite aloof, as if this was almost routine for her, which it very well could be. She released the pokeballs beside Nix.

"Let's get started shall we?" Before even introducing the first Pokemon, the red puppy-like Pokemon had already shuffled closer to Nix to sniff her out. Was she friend or foe? It didn't know, but she definitely smelt like friend. The slightest crack of a smile appeared on the Ambassador's stone face. "That's Growlithe. They're very loyal Pokemon, and back on PokeEarth - " she paused for a moment, it had been awhile since she said that. It almost seemed as if the old world was fading from her memories, but alas, there were other, more immediate matters to attend to. "On PokeEarth, the Police force worked along-side these Pokemon. They've always seemed to have a knack for saving people."

Her eyes trailed to the large creature made of rock, "Rhyhorn is a sturdy creature, and also incredibly difficult to train, even for a Domestic," a smirk passed her lips, "But you seem like the type to enjoy a good challenge."

"This is similarly true for Murkrow," she gave a gesture to the bird perched on Rhyhorn's back. "These Pokemon are also a bit difficult to control as they can be quite mischievous. This one in particular is much more docile than most, however." 

"Next we have - " Anita stood up and slammed her palms to the desk. "Aipom!" she called out. Her eyes focused above Nix on the hanging light in the middle of the office. The purple monkey was holding the lamp with its tail while dangling the unassuming Azurill from the high ceiling. How did it even get up there without her noticing? The Aipom immediately reacted with a sly grin, which compared hilariously to the blue rodent's complete obliviousness of the situation. "Put. Azurill. Down. Now." The Pokemon rolled its eyes and clicked its tongue. But in the end it did comply, though not quite as Anita had hoped. Aipom dropped the Pokemon from the lamp, but luckily landed right in Nix's lap.

Anita sighed and sat back in her chair. What luck. "Well, that's Aipom and Azurill. I doubt I need to explain more about either of them." She then pulled out a "Pamphlet" from one of the drawers and handed it to the girl. "If you're not satisfied with these choices, you can choose one of those instead." She nodded to Nix and awaited her response.

Nix looked up at the desk before her and waited to see if the women would move, or should she do something first? She wasnt sure, though the women spoke moments later and waved a hand to a pair of chairs. nix shifted to them before the woman spoke again and nix turned and nodded at her words, sensing she wasnt actually supposed to reply to her until she was done speaking.

And then the pokemon.

she looked down at the pokemon before her and watched as the canine shifted closer, her hand almost reached out to it but then the elder women spoke and nix snapped it back to her side. She nodded at the words offered before her eyes moved to the next pokemon and she took in the words again and then shifted once more to look at the flying type. She had a bit of a thing with birds, she quite liked them but this one just didnt do anything for her. Though she did chuckle at the scene created by the next pokemon, jumping a little as the smallest of the group landed in her lap. She felt guilty looking down in to its face as she realized that none of these pokemon were ones she wanted, her hear almost sank a little.

She sighed softly and turned her head, taking the pamphlet offered to her and flicked it open. Her eyes scanned it carefully for a moment, her eyes drawn to one and one only. Though, the three on the bottom didnt look interesting but her heart knew she wanted a different one. Still, looking in to the blue eyes of the pokemon on her lap was a little heart breaking. "I...Im sorry, i would like one of these" she said flicking the pamphlet in her hand and dropping her gaze away from the pokemon before her, she was actually apologizing to the pokemon in her lap more than the other human though. Her finger was pressed against the image of the fennekin on the paper, though her hand was shaking a little at admitting these Pokemon were not what she wanted.

Little expression interrupted her firm countenance as the girl flipped through the options. She only nodded as the Nix made her choice. "Very well." Anita began recalling the Pokemon and then made her way to a corner of the room where an odd device rested. She started typing in a sequence then, "Don't worry about hurting their feelings. All the Pokemon I give out are from my personal collection, so they just get to stay with me when you don't want them, and I'm sure they're not complaining." The Ambassador turned and gave Nix a wink. Alright, so she does have a sense of humor. 

At that moment a pokeball appeared in the machine. Ms. Nguyen raised her brow as it appeared, she grabbed it, then placed it in the girl's hand. "Next we should prepare your for your travels with some items." With a gesture the Ambassador showed the new trainer all the items lined up on the shelves behind her. "You may choose any combination of seven Survival Items or Tools under 35₪ and one melee weapon, as well as this X-Gear and Holo Chip, - my office number is already installed - Tool bag, and 3 pokeballs." She handed the girl said items then awaited her next decision.

Nix watched the elder female as she nodded at nix's choice, the pokemon each disappearing in to a fog of red as they were recalled before the elder spoke again. Nix gave a soft sigh at this, clearly her picking from the pokemon had shown but she was glad they would have trainers one day. Nix held out a hand as she heard the machine make a sound and the pokeball ofered to her felt so cold to her fingers but she was sure it was her own excitement, she shifted a little as she looked down at it before she was addressed once more. She nodded as she was shown the wall before she stood up and placed the pokeball on hr set before she turned to the wall, "I have my weapeon already, its a dagger from my grand uncle but i know the rest" she said with a nod of her head befoe she moved forwards and started to pick items down.

Another nod from the Ambassador before she confirmed her choices, "Excellent." With that, she picked up her pen and resumed the work she was doing before Nix came in. If the girl were to look at the papers she would see words and numbers, symbols that she wouldn't understand. It seemed as if the Ambassador wrote in code. How peculiar. Anita wrote for a good, silent minute before speaking, though she didn't stray her eyes from the manuscript. "As you may already know, a Survivor's main duty is to explore."

Without a lag in movement, Ms. Nguyen tapped her fingers to the desk in a sort of pattern which seemed to cause a hologramic map of blue to pop up over her desk. "Now, of course, this is our map of Mi-aro. You'll notice that we don't have much documentation on the areas surrounding New Pallet, and I find that completely terrifying." Her eyes' gaze finally shot into Nix's. Her face, and tone suddenly serious, "This world is full of danger."

Anita lifted herself from the seat in order to point to Routes 2 and 3 with her pen. "We've found that these routes are fairly safe, but I've gotten calls from the citizens of New Pallet saying they hear noises, growls, roars, quakes, from beyond their vicinity. Miles away. I need to know what's out there, and if need be, how to stop it." After her monologue, the woman sat back in her chair and took a deep breath, "I don't know what you plan to do when you leave this office, but if you need a goal, this is certainly one for you."

Nix took her choices and then turned back and picked up her pokeball, settled back in the chair as the Ambassador addressed her once more and nix raised an eyebrow a little. She hadnt meant to but she did, but didnt everyone know that the idea of someone like her was to explore this new world? She watched as the map appeared before her and her eyes scanned it for a tiny moment before she noted it didnt have anything that no one know of on it, though the words that came with it did make her smile a little.

"There was a point once when we didnt know any areas aside that in which we landed and we worked it out once, i think a little bit of pushing and moving forwards will only give us new places to grow" she said with a little smirk and a tone to her voice that said very clearly that she was going to go to the newer places in the world that no one had seen and she was not going to let anyone or any stories get in her way.

[Olive]

Anita's eyes came to a close before responding with a pleased tone, "I'll take that as a yes." The woman stepped from behind her desk once more to face the newly-named trainer. She extended her hand to Nix and gave a little head bow. With that, the ambassador moved to the door and pulled it open for the girl.

"If you ever need me, don't be afraid to call - to schedule an appointment," her face lightened with a grin. "Good luck Nix, I'm rooting for you."
