Hoenn Region - Littleroot Town
Littleroot town was really that: Little. There were barely 50 people living in this quaint little village, and Professor Birch's laboraory looked very out of place. The village was surrounded by forest, which made Yuuka nervous after what happened to her in the Petalburg Woods.
"Here we are, enter the lab!" May triumphantly opened the door.
The Laboratory was a busy place with several scientists and countless Pokemon. There were experiments, important-looking machines, and amongst the cacophony, Professor Birch.
Professor Birch was a tiny man: barely reaching his daughter May's height. For a 6 foor 2 giant like Yuuka, they looked like dwarves as she loomed over them. Professor Birch was also pretty chubby around the side and face, giving him an almost disrespectable aura. However, his ruffled brown hair, his bespectacled face, and the way he immerses himself into his research made Professor Birch really look like an expert.
"Dad, we're here!"
May sauntered towards Professor Birch and hugged him from behind. The professor, surprised at first, soon regained reason and hugged May back. "Hey, May! How was fieldwork?"
"It went great! I registered some more Pokemon, and caught myself a trainer!"
"I wouldn't think it was caught."
Professor Birch turned to look at Yuuka, whose exotic Youkai grace seemed to fill the laboratory. Professor Birch adjusted his spectacles and greeted Yuuka properly. "Welcome to my laboratory! I am Professor Birch, May's father."
"Yuuka." Yuuka nodded.
"She was attacked by a wild Pokemon so I rescued her." May explained. "It seems like she doesn't have any Pokemon."
"No Pokemon? Such a shame! I'm sure you'd love to have a Pokemon to call a friend!" Professor Birch sympathetically responded.
Yuuka shrugged and stretched the collar of her indigo skintight shirt. "Well, I don't know-"
"I know!" May eagerly suggested. "Maybe we can give her the new test subject from Kanto in exchange for finishing the Pokedex!"
"Good idea, May! Follow me, Yuuka!" Professor Birch gave his daughter a thumbs-up and trodded to the back of the lab. May took off after him too, leaving Yuuka behind.
"Uh..." Yuuka stood there, dazed at the combo play of the professor and his daughter. She sighed and followed.
Sinnoh Region - Route 201
"Then follow me." Cynthia said as Athena landed on top of Cynthia's head. "I'll have Professor Rowan give you a Pokemon."
"You should come too." Athena added, addressing Renamon. "I'm sure Professor Rowan can help you and your Combee too."
Johto Region - Radio Tower
"It's time for Pokemon Trivia! I'm your host, Mary, with your favorite Professor, Professor Oak!"
"How's it going, Mary? You look stunning as ever. New haircut?"
"Thank you for noticing, Professor. I got a new hairdo from the Haircut Brothers!"
"Dazzling. Speaking of dazzle, did you know that the crow Pokemon Murkrow likes to snatch valuables from humans?"
Professor Oak was an elderly gentleman, with medium length hair that was bleached with age, wrinkled face, and a general mild temper. He seemed very wise and erudite, almost a bit difficult to approach. Anyway, it's time to roll.
"Today we have a special guest."
"Really? Who could it be?"
"This girl approached me to be on the show with you, Professor. She wants you to teach her the ways of Pokemon training."
"Is that so? Then why don't we let her join us?"
"Ladies and Gentlemen, our special guest, Lyrica Prismriver!"
"You're up." The producer of the radio show nudged Lyrica.
