" Aww man, why did I have to get myself addicted to coffee before I started this journey? "
James Farr questioned himself mentally as he made his way towards the Nirven Laboratory. He was feeling the fatigue from a caffine withdrawal, and boy was he ever tired! He almost decided not to make it here without stopping, but James wanted to get as far away from his parents and his home as possible.
His family never really cared much for him, which got to the male's mind when the only one who cared about him - an elderly Jolteon - passed away. His parents were ignorant and his little brother was insane. How could he possibly live in a household where the only person who had some sense was himself?
James didn't even want to be known as Denkou Dageki. He simply wanted to erase his past, so changing his name was a start. It was hard for him to get used to this fake name, still introducing himself with his real name.
Now at the doorstep of the Pokemon lab, James slowly banged a fist against the door. Despite his tiredness and craving for a nice, warm coffee, James was quite excited to being recieving his very own Pokemon!

The door was opened by a relatively young woman who could only have been Professor Tarei. She looked very unkempt. Her hair was a mess, her face was grimy, and her clothes were covered in durt and mud. Her eyes were red and had deep shadows beneath them, but she wore a welcoming smile on her face.
She stepped aside to allow James entrance into the lab. "Hello, welcome to the Nirven Lab! Please come on in. I am Professor Tarei, and you are a new trainer, correct?" the Professor said warmly. "I apologize for the lab... and myself," she added looking around at the very messy interior.
A Vaporeon was wading through the books and papers, rushing to clan up as much as she could. She too looked pretty bad, especially when compared to her usual radiance. What in the world had happened?
<Hi, I'm Vierna> the Vaporeon said distractedly, yet with kindness dripping from her voice. [/sub]

James' eyes seemed to break from their tiredness when Professor Tarei opened the door. Whoa! He had to stop himself from yelping at the unkempt sight of her. He would've expected her to be nice and clean, since he figured females appearently didn't like to be seen at their worst.
James stepped inside the lab after Professor Tarei introduced herself, observing the cluttered state of the laboratory with a look of uncertainty. It only took one eye to see that this place was a mess! James began to wonder if he came to the right place, but there was only one Professor Tarei out there.
" Yep, I'm a new trainer. Denkou- I mean, James is the name! "
The male quickly corrected himself, slapping a hand on his forehead. Bah, he had to stop calling himself by his old name! James looked over at the Professor, hoping she wouldn't think he was crazy at all. He didn't really want to explain why he called himself James.
Hearing the Vaporeon, James looked over at Vierna, smiling a bit to the distracted Vaporeon. Boy, her Pokemon seemed hard at work too!

"Nice to meet you James," Professr Tarei said sincerely and kindly, starting to hold her hand out to him. She also got distracted, however, by a Heracross popping out of a pile of jumbled books and papers. A Beautifly flied into the main room from the back room, picked up some items, then returned. She paused only to ofer James a smile.
A Ghastly floated guardingly above a bookshelf that was lined with pokeballs. In fact, the shelf looked as if it had just recently been put up and had the pokeballs replaced upon its shelves. The Heracross smiled at James, then he too carried items into the back room.
"I really do apologize. I never should have left the lab! I'mm just glad that my Pokemon were with me. They may have been seriously injured during the robbery," the Professor sighed, speaking more to herself than to anyone else. She didn't seem to mind James hearing her though.
<Well, I would have liked to see those theives just try to get past us!> Vierna stated, an edge of anger in her voice.
"Vierna, if it was the Grim then there is no way that you guys would have been able to hold them off," Professor Tarei replied seriously, realistically. She knew the danger that this event posed. She wasn't sure yet what exactly they had been looking for, nor if they found it. But they had targetted her, hadn't they? Her eyes filled with tears as she looked from one of her busy Pokemon to the other. What would she ever do if she lost them?
Professor Tarei quickly choked down her tears and turned here full attention to James. "I'm sorry James. Thangs have been really crazy lately... Anyway, do you know which Pokemon you would like?" she asked with a kind, warm and gentle smile. [/sub]

James watched as the Heracross and Beautifly toiled on, appearently trying to clean up the mess that was left behind by a robbery. Even though the moment seemed particularly grim, the male still flashed a grin to the Pokemon as they passed by.
" So, what's this Grim group, were they the ones that stampeded through here? "
James asked, crossing his arms as he faced Professor Tarei. He noticed her eyes became watery and his expression instantly saddened. Were these Grim guys really that bad?
" Oh? Which Pokemon I'd like? Yea... Could I get an Electrike? "
Spoke James, returning his own smile when the Professor's face brightened. He had actually thought about which Pokemon he wanted a lot and decided that an Electrike would be most fun to train.

"I'm not sure if it was the Grim who did this, but I can't think of any other explanation that would make any sense. They are a team of people who care nothing for Pokemon. They only value Pokemon for experimentations, and for using them as weapons. I wish I knew more of what they are planning, why they mutated some Pokemon to create what I call 'Demon Pokemon'," Professor Tarei replied.
She noticed the saddening of James's face, but couldn't find anything to say. She nodded at his decision, then went as fast as it was possible to go into the back room, wading through the mess, and stepping delicately among the breakable objects.
She returned after a while, and made it back over to the trainer. She was slightly out of breath, but was wearing a smile, if a bit of a strained one. She was carrying a pokeball and a starter pack, both of which she handed to James.

James listened to Professor Tarei's explanation with interest. So, there were evil people running around causing trouble now, eh? The male took note of the condition of the lab and figured these people weren't ones to be messing around with. However, once he had a strong team of Pokemon, he'd certainly try to take them down!
Watching the Professor go to grab his Electrike, James let out a tired sigh. Bah, he had completely forgotten how tired he really was. Being excited about getting his Pokemon sure distracted him!
" Hey, thanks! I'll take good care of her. See ya! "
James exclaimed when Professor Tarei passed him the Pokeball and items, which followed with a yawn. No, he was definitely not bored or discontent. Grinning after he he yawned, Denkou shifted to face the door, then made his way out, carefully making sure he didn't step on anything.
