Seeing some people have passed by, Artus enters Professor Poplar's lab. It was quite organized, clean and neat, almost making Artus ashamed he has to go barefoot. Regardless, the assistant approached Artus.

"Hello, child. Are you here to speak with Professor Poplar?" "Yes, please. Where can I find her?" "She's just in that room, past that white vase." The assistant pointed at the door, where Artus entered in.

The professor, who was actually an old woman, was studying a Clefairy. Artus coughed, gaining the professor's attention, who smiled.


 * "Ah, so you are one of the trainers that has answered my call, yes? Let me welcome you in Palm City. I am Professor Poplar of Provo region. Your name is...?"
 * "It's Artus. I came here to aid the Provo region."
 * "Good. What experience do you have as a trainer?"
 * "Actually, none..." This caused Professor Poplar to be surprised and even frowned her face.
 * "But why would you come here, then, if I asked for qualified trainers to come?"
 * "I was at the door of the lab and I didn't see much people coming in. So obviously there is someone that should help, yes? Besides, I admit I am here for adventure and bonding with Pokémon, but I assure you I know a lot about these creatures." Artus tried to convince the professor he was the man (or rather boy) for the job.
 * "I still won't allow it. There's real danger and many Pokémon can harm you." the professor turned her back.
 * "Maybe so. But I thought you gave away Starter Pokémon to start off the journey."
 * The professor turned to Artus, seeing he was right. "All right, child. But promise me that you will take precautions. Ask someone around town to aid you in the task."
 * "I shall. Count on me, then." Artus nodded.
 * "*sigh* Now, to start off, you are to choose a Pokémon. Which one will it be?" the professor showed Artus the case containing Poké Balls.
