~ SERAPHINA ~ I'm kind of a researcher, Sera thought to herself, but she wasn't going to say it. She wasn't one on paper, so whatever. She thought about his observation for a second, then frowned. "....Professor. What about the parasitic Pokemon? Paras and Parasect. There, the parasite is a plant. Are you sure those are antennae and not roots?" It was just.. an observation, but... Yeah. "..I don't suppose you'd reimburse me for that potion by the way~?" she chimed suddenly sweetly.

Oak's Jaw dropped and he scratched the back of his head. "Well I guess we're back to stage one!" he then proceeded with a nervous but confident laugh. Quercus snapped his fingers as if he suddenly remembered something. Because he did. "You said you found him in an underground passage am I right?" His expression flipped instantly. "This is perfect! You can just head back there and search for clues!" Without really responding to Sera's other question or allowing her to respond to him, he ran off to another closet.
About 2 minutes later the good professor returned with a rather long rope that had a device connected to one end. He handed the rope to Sera, and dug a Potion from his pocket as well. "I call it an Escape Rope! It's still a prototype, but you can test it for me!" he exclaimed, though he take a moment to ponder before he continued, "I feel something oddly familiar about this creation.. But no one that I've met so far seems to have seen one so ah well!" Oak grinned widely. "Plant this device in the ground, somewhere near the vicinity of the labyrinths entrance. Hold on to the rope when you go down there, and if you need to make a quick escape, simply use the 'Select' button on your X-Gear with the 'Key Item' chip activated! The rope will withdraw into the device and pull you with it, but remember that it's a prototype, so I don't know what issues you'll encounter with it"
Oak then pulled the chip from his pocket and transferred it to Sera's X-Gear. "This is the Key Item chip, it's a prototype as well, but I feel like you're the adventurous sort so why not try some new things?" He nodded and offered a toothy grin to Sera while he waited for her response.
Sera received Escape Rope (Key Item) (Prototype) Sera received Key Items Chip (Prototype) Sera received x1 Potion

~ SERAPHINA ~ Sera was genuinely impressed. Once Oak specifically pointed out that he felt it was familiar, she thought about that. Had.. she ever....? The... The design was definitely something she'd never seen anything like, but did the name.. ring a bell...? Maybe something she'd heard in passing once? As much as she read, and eavesdropped, and with Great-Grandpa's vast excess of stories, and lectures, and... Eh, as many places as it 'could' have come from, she was probably just imagining it because he'd mentioned that.
"It sounds really handy!" she exclaimed. "I planned to head back there soon anyway, so hopefully this will make it even easier." Granted she knew the way back better from New Pallet than Port City, as she'd taken pictures from the cave to the prior for reference, but she supposed she could attempt to follow her path from before and if she hit New Pallet she'd know she'd gone too far, eheh.
She recalled Diglett and the... Pikyuk? Pyuik? Yeh that was gonna take a while. As she put them and the potion away, she suddenly remembered- "Oh! Speaking of the cave, I've been meaning to take a look at these~!" She smiled as she dug through her bag, but as she grabbed one of the objects in question, her face fell flat, and after a moment she sighed. "I.. guess.. since I'm here I could have you take a look at these before I try them..."
Chikorita deadpanned. Was.. her trainer disappointed at lowering her risk of eating something that might be poison...? Why. Her leaf covered her face. Why...
Sera brought out a few of the Speckled Mushrooms, and a few of the Spotted Mushrooms. "I found these in the same cave.. Would you or anyone else in the lab know how to test them to see if they might be edible or otherwise useful?"

Some sort of curious noise came from the Professor with the display of the particularly odd objects. He gave the fungi a poke and narrowed his eyes. They weren't much different than normal PokeEarth shrooms in their general appearance, but the spots, speckles.. and the smell... that was odd. Quercus almost asked if they normally smelt so metallic, almost like iron. Which was ironic because there was an Iron Mine located on Route 1, but he wasn't sure of either's exact location so he shrugged off the question.
Could they be poisonous? It was possible. Could he do some tests to figure it out? Probably. Was he going to? Oh look a mushroom, that's really cool. Look at the spots, oooohhhhh. Whoops, forgot about Cera. He hadn't said anything in a while, how odd. Oak's concentrated eyes glanced from Sera to the fungi and back. "Nope I'm afraid Botany isn't my strong suit!" he finally replied with a childish grin. "My advice would be to try it yourself and even give some to your Pokemon. But maybe keep a few Antidotes around just in case.
"My, Sera, you certainly are discovering a lot of new and fascinating things," Oak paused to raise an eyebrow, "You really would do well in the Researcher profession you know." The professor then laughed as if to avoid any awkward life talk with his advisee. He wasn't exactly that kinda guy after all. With a nod he gave expressed another grin. "If that's all you should probably get going, because I need to run to the Post Office and give Lola these X-Gears that I keep forgetting to hand out to some of the trainers!" he finished with a tone that expressed both amusement and compunction. Such a complicated guy. Tsk.

~ SERAPHINA ~ "Aww, that's unfortunate," Sera hummed. Whether she meant his forgetfulness or the lack of testing or both was unclear. "Thanks though," she said to what she'd taken as a compliment. She would have been brighter, more sing-songy about it as usual, but her mind was mostly on the mushrooms now.
Hm... She supposed... Shrugging, she took one of the small speckly ones and popped it into her mouth. She figured if she fell over dead it didn't much matter where she was, and if she started going into shock or something about the only place better to be than the lab was the hospital, which would be a waste of everyone's time to go to in the event that nothing bad did happen.

Without even allowing the effects to take place, Quercus scurried right up to Sera and quickly began examining her eyes, skin, and the like. What would happen? What would happen?? This wasn't exactly his favorite branch of science, but a discovery was a discovery.
As Sera chewed, she noticed that the shroom was extremely dry. The taste was plastic-like with a hint of iron. Nothing out of the ordinary seemed to happen... except that the fungus was incredibly difficult to get down. Oak's eyes narrowed and then widened immediately. That was odd. Sera's eyes, teeth, and even her fingernails seemed to brighten up as the mushroom was swallowed. "Oh my," he mused. The effects were almost immediate, perhaps simply chewing the berry released some sort of chemical that brighten certain parts of the body? His jaw dropped with a sudden realization. Oak whipped out his pencil and notepad and jotted something down, but returned it quickly and didn't offer Sera any information.
With a nod he asked, "Well how does it feel??"

~ SERAPHINA ~ Sera felt a little strange, but couldn't place how- until she saw her nails, and her eyes-- ..Well. Her eyes had already lit, although she didn't quite realize this. But her eyes lit in both the literal and figurative ways now! His question was ignored in favor of exclaiming, "I'M FUCKING MAGIC."
She looked herself over a little more thoroughly with the help of a small mirror produced from her bag. "Yessssssss..." She wasn't quite sure if she wanted more or less eyeliner to go with these things. "I wonder if it's permanent." Mighty Mewtwo, she could only hope.
So teeth, nails, eyes.... She wasn't sure if there was a connecting feature or not. A sudden thought made her crack a grin. "Although I always did have a ~radiant~ smile, don't you think~?"
Oh hey wasn't hair sort of close to fingernails? Sera wondered... She took out another of the same mushrooms and ate it as well. "...Ith iron oberdothe a thin'?" she asked as an afterthought, still chewing.
