a reaper's birth [mod]

[king]

scarlette stepped into the lab, knocking on the door as she entered. "excuse me, i'm here to receive a pokemon. i'm a new researcher."

Cypress looked up from his desk. He'd been studying two tufts of the Rattata fur in an attempt to discern how the amberwell waters worked their magic. "A-Ah, yes, eos did mention that." He turned around, picked up the briefcase behind him and opened up its contents for Scarlette to consider.

"A-And your name?" He pushed up his glasses and grabbed a document from the mess of papers. Maybe one day, they could find a way to extract and artificially produce that key amberwell ingredient, but only maybe.

scarlette looked down at her options. it was immediately known which partner she would pick to be her own. she reached down with gentle hands and picked out the cyndaquil, cradling it in her arms. "this will do." she said, looking over to the professor. "i wonder if i may scan the other pokemon as well."

"Of course, g-go right ahead." Thankfully, Mrs. Sybil had prepared the necessary supplies for this new researcher beforehand. All Cypress had to do was reach under his desk, pushing the little device into her hands, along with a few healing items and a virus ball.

"I-I wish you all the best out there, Mrs-?" He still didn't know her name. Eos had stopped providing him with this sort of information a long time ago, unfortunately.

scarlette bent down before the snorunt first. she held up the pokedex and took a scan. "winchester. scarlette winchester." the cyndaquil was still carefully cradled in her arms, one hand absently brushing the head fur.

The snorunt looked a little bit disappointed. Then again, most pokemon did when they weren't chosen, though Cypress, personally, didn't understand why. Some of them were being sent to their deaths, after all.

He nodded at Scarlette, then scribbled down her name on a report and placed it on the desk, to give to eos later.

king haha its no problem! i'll post as fast as i can so scarlettte can move to proserpina asap.

[king]

the seedot was next. scarlette pondered a name for the cyndaquil in the mean time.

The seedot turned away from Scarlette with a huff of irritation. Not that it mattered - it wasn't as if the pokedex was taking photos of the pokemon.

Cypress tittered an nervous apology about the other pokemon, trying to, perhaps, justify their actions.

scarlette shook her head. "it's fine." she scanned the krabby.

It blew a few bubbles out of its claws that circled around her before popping, one after the other. The residual water dried up quickly, there wasn't much of it to begin with.

scarlette gave the krabby a pat on the head. she scanned the pineco.

the cyndaquil was to be nova.

[citrus]

Nova is a pretty name. Cypress probably would've approved if he could hear people's thoughts, but alas.

The pineco turned a dark shade of red and turned away from the pokedex, swelling up to twice its regular size and trembling a little.

"A-Ah, don't worry, it'll calm down in a moment. P-Please don't touch it." Cypress nervously commented, in the midst of reorganizing the messy papers on his desk.

it didn't show on her helmet that she was alarmed. she breathed a few calming words, before moving onto the bellsprout.

it stared at her with the face of a magikarp. she shrugged and scanned it.

[citrus]

The bellsprout stared blankly at her, then began to dance to an invisible beat. It wiggled its stem-hips in a way that looked like a poor attempt to be sexy.

At least it could function outside of water. Of course, a Magikarp would have similarly argued that it could function in water, without the need for air.

[king]

she awkwardly gave the bellsprout a few pats. "there there."

she turned to the drilbur a little hurridly and scanned it.
