[With a slight honk Rachel was startled to an awake. The surrounding was strange and not known. Although something told her she was in the right place. It felt like, home. Her Hair waved rapidly in the wind and a large slap caused her to fall. Splashing into the waters. Being from Snowpoint city she had never learnt how to swim. Meaning she was very scared. Rachel didn’t have any idea how to get out so she waved. Water specks hit her eyes causing a slight pain. “Humph,” She sighed after a gentle wave had given her enough energy to grab on to a dock pole. Her hair was flat against her pale skin and the mask was falling behind her back. With one hand she pulled forward. The other she held over her face. Within seconds Rachel ran over to the most sheltered place. Not because of the weather. In fact she wasn’t use to the sun blazing so bright. It was mainly to hide from people. She wanted to find her way out and then carry on through the new world. Hopefully there would be an area just like her wild home. A cold, but cool forest. Where the snow fell almost every day.

Although the sun was bright the wind was still drafty. This caused a poster of some sort to appear straight in front. This could have been a sign. Yet, Rachel could not read English. She was in no way of understanding what it meant. Hopefully she could get a human to read it for her. Without talking to them. As her plan was about to execute, a female walked past, taking the poster for the plan. Rachel glared and hid quickly. Yet, instead of reading the poster she simply walked off with it.

Rachel had wandered for a bit until she came across a building. Not too big, but seemed to have more importance than the rest. So she looked through the window but she couldn’t see a thing. There was no harm in going instead... hopefully. Rachel took each step one by one, then opened the door. What was inside waiting for her?]

"Hum dee dummmm... 'Oh, what a beautiful morrrrninnng, oh what a beautiful daaaaay!'" Jacquelyn had her usual cheerful demeanor, humming and singing while attending to her work around the lab. Things were going swimmingly that day, and the aide found less and less difficulty in dealing with the daily mini-catastrophes. At this rate, she wouldn't need Caroline at all! With this in mind, she pressed forward and kept working, only stopping to talk to her Linoone, Denny. "Who's a pretty Pokémon? You are~!" she cooed, cradling Denny's face in her hands before kissing the top of his head and wandering off.

Denny sighed and laid his head back down, not moving from his curled-up position. He never exactly shared his trainer's vigor for life, though it was never difficult to keep up with her. <I'm not a girl; I can't be "pretty,"> he murmured to himself, but the Linoone let it go. It wasn't like Jacquelyn would understand anyway; humans never really could completely understand their Pokémon. Besides, praise was nice, especially during these lonely hours cooped up in the room while she worked.

As Rachel stepped in, she took in the lobby, where pictures and sketched of Pokémon adorned the walls. A few plants and chairs were strewn about, but mostly the room was intricate machinery used for experiments she could not even comprehend. At first, nothing moved and Rachel was left in silence. However, down the hall, Denny's head perked up and he sniffed the air. <Something's here,> he noted before standing up. stretching, and then bounding off of Jacquelyn's desk and out of the room. Soon arriving in the lobby, the Linoone took in Rachel and blinked, perhaps a bit taken aback as he had been expecting something different - something more along the lines of a Pokémon. She reeked of one, anyway. <Just another trainer,> he mused aloud, not realizing Rachel could probably hear him. <I'd better go get Jacquelyn. She'll be excited to help out, as usual.>

[Walking into this laboratory had really enhanced Rachel's sight. So much stuff to look at, plus the lights above her head seemed to gleam down right on top of her. She smiled at a picture of a Little Zigzagoon, it seemed to be chasing it's tail. Although, it was only a picture. 1 second caught forever. Yet how are we to know what happene-

Rachel was caused to come to a stop when she heard speaking. Having understood it she knew that it wasn't human. A Pokemon. And by the tone, male. Ugh! A Linoone, who didn't seem in a great mood, had appeared in front of Rachel. speaking of a Trainer or something. Then he quickly uttered <I'd better go get Jacquelyn. She'll be excited to help out, as usual.>.
Rachel smiled and bowed her body. Letting the creature know she was grateful. Staring into his eyes she began to communicate. <Why thank you. That would be much appreciated. But Please let her know. I have a slight fear of humans. I wouldn't mind if she stayed back.> She bowed again then looked for a chair to sit apon. Nothing came in view at the quick glance, so she sat herself on the ground. Legs and arms folded.]

When Rachel spoke to Denny telepathically, he froze. Turning back to fully face her, as he had been about to turn and run back to Jacquelyn's office in order to alert her of the soon-to-be-trainer's presence, the Linoone was utterly silent for a moment before blurting out, <Wait, what??> He skittered back a step or two, baffled at this newcomer. <You heard me! And you speak Pokémon! B-But, you're a human! Aren't you? What are you?> Denny's blue eyes bore into Rachel's, as if trying to read her mind as she did his. Growing a bit courageous, which was rare for the Linoone, he closed the gap between them slightly and sniffed in Rachel's direction. He couldn't pick up much, since he wasn't that close, but still... <You look human, anyway. But you smell like a Pokémon. What gives?>

[Rachel almost giggled at the Pokemon. Males really seemed to be less intelligent than Females. Especially in the Pokemon species. Humans, vary. She took her left hand, then the right. Placing them against the ground and pushing her body up. Again she looked into the Pokemon's eyes. Trying to Explain. <Well, Long story short. I was born Human, Raised as a Pokemon. My birth mother I did not know, My Other Mother was a Froslass. We lived up in Snowpoint. I learnt the Ability to talk through Minds. Since Froslass didn't know Human, I learnt Pokémon.> She nodded then sat back down. Hopefully she had explained enough. All this talking was making her Hungry. She looked to a bulge in her Pocket. Before pulling out a Rice ball. <Yum> She giggled began to chomp on the food.]

Denny blinked, taking this all in. 'Whoa, a Pokémon girl thing. Kinda... Weird', he thought as he mulled it over. Oh well. Trainers were trainers, and she wanted a Pokémon... Even if she was one. Kind of. 'This is SO confusing...'

He was momentarily distracted, however, when Rachel pulled out a rice ball. Sniffing the air again, Denny took a few steps closer to Rachel. <I'll go get my trainer in a moment, I swear, but I can I have some of that? Please?> His eyes were hopeful, and he took yet another step to close the gap. As per usual, Denny was hungry. It was impossible for him to resist any kind of food that was available, which was the reason Jacquelyn was forced to hide any and all food items for the lab Pokémon when she brought him. Before Denny could get any farther, though, a pair of heels could be heard clacking closer and closer to their location.

"Denny?" the young, blue-haired aide called, soon emerging from the hallway the Linoone had come from previously. "Hun, what are you-? Oh, hello there~!" With a smile, Jacquelyn addressed Rachel. Surely, she found the soon-to-be-trainer's attire odd, but who was the young woman to judge someone else? "Professor Aspen is out at the moment, but I'll be glad to be of assistance. My name's Jacquelyn Skidd, I'm one of her aides. How can I help you?"

Denny blinked, looking between Rachel and Jacquelyn. <Crap,> was his only response, waiting for the explosion of fear from Rachel.

No worries, this is still Andi. I finally got around to making these accounts~!

[The friendly Pokémon carried on talking then, asked for some food. What was the harm. Just breaking off a chunk, then came a voice. Rachel's head alerted up, the sound a human caused her legs to expand, ready to run. She held her self steady. She had waited so long, now was the time to get her Pokémon. A very giddy women appeared. The Linoone hadn't had time to tell her about Rachel's fear. Blinking rapidly, and taken a complete of gulps Rachel said "W-wai-t!" Her English was quite bad, hopefully the women would understand. "Me Scar-ed. St-up!" Rachel walked backward and began to touch the side of her neck. "Me hear, f-four Pokémon." The Word Pokemon, flowed gently out of her mouth. It was a word everyone knew. Rachel tried to smile. The Rice ball lay on the ground. Where as the chunk she broke off was in her hand. She tucked it in her pocket. The making a hand gesture, allowing the hungry Pokémon to eat it.]

[Jacquelyn Skidd]

Jacquelyn jumped at Rachel's sudden and fearful reaction to her. Immediately, she was self-concious. What had happened? Too overbearing? The young woman was often told she had a problem with that. However, this was a reaction unlike she had ever seen. Tense and frozen in place, the aide tried not to make any sudden movements as Rachel spoke.

At first, it was utter nonsense. What was this girl saying? The English was so broken... She almost seemed like a foreigner, but Jacquelyn had never heard an accent like that before. Where could she be from? And what in the world did she say? After running the few words through her mind again, the puzzle pieces fit together and Jaquelyn's face lit up with realization.

"Wait! I'm scared. Stop!" And then, "I'm here for a Pokemon."

"Oh," the aide breathed. "I'm, uh, very sorry for frightening you." Taking a step back, as if it would help, she asked, "Can you... understand English?" She slowed down her speech and attempted once more with, "Do you understand me?"

Denny sighed, looking between the two. <Thanks,> he muttered, scurrying over to eat the fallen rice ball. <Yannow, I don' really 'now 'ow you es'spect me to tell her,> he admitted through a mouthful. The Linoone swallowed and looked up at Rachel. <It's not like I speak human. I can get you what you need, though, Pokemon and pack-wise... Or translate what she's saying for you. Or whatever.> And, with that, he was eating once more, waiting for a response.

[Rachel did understand some English, yet she wasn't an Expert. She Mainly only new the Name of Pokémon and Places in the Region. Therefore with a kind jesture from the eating Linoone she gently asked, <Would... you mind?> She gave a heart warming smile and looked back at the Girl. Seemed seemed to be weary of her actions. Rachel smiled... She let out the word... "Sorry...". She just wasn't use to company. Luckily these Human was a Female, if It was Male, She would have been out of there. Yet, she had been use to Male Pokemon, Having a Brother Snorunt. They seemed pretty nice.... just annoying at times. Is it the same with human Males?]

[Jacquelyn Skidd]

Jacquelyn simply nodded in response, unsure of what to do. Did the girl even know what was going on? She seemed to be speaking to Denny, though. Did she... speak Pokemon? How was this possible? Knowing the answers were not available to her at the time being, the aide simply bit her lip and waited. Hopefully, Denny would help both girls to get the job done.

<Well, she said she's sorry, for one,> Denny explained as he cleaned his face. The Linoone never was a neat eater... especially with good food. And dang, that rice ball was tasty! <For, you know, scaring you. She's pretty neurotic like that. She wants to get you your Pokemon... There's a bunch to choose from. Hang on. We have a list around here or something, I think.> Without further urging, he scurried over to one of the desks and looked around. The Pokemon couldn't read, of course, but pictures are always helpful. After a lot of pushing papers around and searching, the Linoone found a brochure with seven pictures of different Pokemon on it. Taking hold of it with his teeth, Denny bolted to Jacquelyn and climbed up to her shoulder and waved the brochure in her face. <C'onnn! Whuh ih it?>

Jacquelyn jumped slightly as Denny crawled up her side a bit rougher than usual. He was in a hurry, clearly... She jerked her head away initially when her Pokemon showed her the brochure but got the hint after a moment and took it from him. "The brochure? I already know she wants a Pokemon, hun. Show this to her, she needs to pick which one."

<I knew it!!> Denny snatched the brochure back and jumped to the floor nimbly to make his way back to Rachel. He held the somewhat damaged sheet out to her, desperately trying to be helpful. <Here, look at this. They're all the Pokemon. The first three are Lanorae natives: Firecub, Iglora, and Sea... uh, Seaward. Yeah, that's the name. But then we've got some others that you might know more about: Abra, Meowth, Starly, and Chimchar. See 'em? And then you can get a Pokemon Egg if you want, I think. Jackie's given some of them out before to other trainers. You get whatever hatches from it, it's a total wild card thing.>
