"Seven hundred hours." Revan tapped the watch on her wrist with a disapproving look, hitting her knuckles against the wood of the door again. Seven hundred hours, being seven AM, far past daybreak if you asked Revan. She could still clearly remember the days where she was forced to come out of bed at the dawn of day, sometimes as early as five AM.
This was ridiculous. Why had she even agreed to do this in the first place? Travel across the ocean, just to find a new 'start'? Well, the reason was known to her, it being that Surge had told her to, but still, she was slowly starting to wonder if it was all worth it.
She missed the time in the army, not the time before that, after all. What did she have to gain in playing with little furry creatures, possessing just enough intelligence to cry out their own name?
Then again, Surge's Pokémon had always been pretty useful on their missions. Some sort of orange rat, and a bunch of flying magnets. They had never really struck her as friends, however. Surge treated them as fellow soldiers, but she had always seen them as tools.
Yet here she was, waiting to receive her first own 'friend.' That is, if they opened the door before Revan completely lost her cool. Quickly knocking again, she let out an agitated sigh. "These people need to learn to wake up sooner!"

From inside a voice could be heard walking towards the door. " Yeah yeah calm down, Im coming." The door finally opened as a strange young female, pink espeon like ears and tail with a jewel on her forehead. Her hair really messed up allmost as if she had spent all morning sleeping on a static room. " I take it your a new trainer... though why are yah here so early?" The strange girl not sounding groggy or drowsy at the slightest.

"New trainer?" She rose an eyebrow, having to think about this for a while. That was what they called those kids who played around with their little critters, was it not? "I... suppose?" She regained her stature, quickly standing straight and saluting slightly.
"My name is Revan Knight. I am here to inquire about the starter... pokémon. My lieutenant suggested I get one." She chose to ignore the question about the time, realising that this strange looking half human had never served in the army, where the day started at the first ray of sunlight.

"Hmm.. a little strict on the words there huh? Ohh well.. come on in, I wassnt expecting any one for a good while so I desided on getting some training done with Fiona out back so sorry if I look like I just came out of the mud." Now inside of the room her Pok?mon like features where easily noted. Though something that was far more noticable was the dirt stains all over her cloths. She walked towards a window as she peeked out. " Hey Fiona, break time!" she said backing away as an espeon jumped through the window and onto the room also looking as dirty as the strange lady. " The names Fiona Katsuyo, Im the Prof's assistant. Im sure you know what Pok?mon we offer here?" She grinned slightly

"Strict?" She followed behind the woman with a confused look on her face, a look that only grew more confused when it became easier to see the woman. She looked a lot like the little critter she referred to as Fiona, a somewhat startling idea. She had heard of pets starting to look like their owners in behaviour, but never of owners starting to be like their pets in looks. Half lost in thought, she failed to hear the question with full conscience, and after an awkward silence she snapped back to attention. "Oh, Pokémon?"
She shrugged her shoulders slightly, quite frankly not having the slightest idea. "Do you happen to have... an orange mouse like thing? About this tall, shoots electricity?" She held her hand up at about the height she estimated Surge's Raichu to have stood at, not even knowing the Pokémon's name.

Sora thought on the description." Hmm.. electric mouse... and its orange... would you happen to be referring to Raichu?" She asked back wondering why it seemed that she looked so uneasy at being in the same room with her. ".. and.. whats with the freaky look there? What you never seen a pokemorph before?" She asked in a calm and collected tone.

"Pokémorph Is that what you're called?" She shrugged slightly, scratching her head. "I must admit, I've never seen anything like you in my time in the army. And... I suppose it might just have been called a Raichu, I can vaguely remember Surge telling me once. But I never really paid attention to what Surge's creatures kept calling out, they mostly just got on my nerves..."

Sora sighed" you know.. for being a starting trainer... I think you might be expecting to mush. Lt. Surge's Raichu is as it is becouse it has traveled and trained along side its trainer. Both having suffered losses and gained victories. And if you ever wish to become a strong trainer and possibly even a more chill person I would sudgest you think hard on what Pok?mon you wish to start with. " Sora now hands her a small list of Pok?mon available at the lab, a smile on her face.
" And yeah I am a pokemorph.. though call me Sora. Like I mentioned earlier thats my name." She said walking back to the edge of the table and sitting down.

"Well... could you show me what you have, then? I know pretty much nothing when it comes to Pokémon. The only one I saw a lot is that Raichu...thing." She glanced around, half expecting the creatures to be running around the room, but the only one of them was the Espeon that the woman had called inside.
"I really do not know what to expect about this whole... trainer thing. I'm only doing as I was ordered..." She glanced Sora over one more time, before adding a 'Sora' at the end of the sentence, not wanting to insult the her by not using her name.

" Ordered to huh? heh.." she smiled softly as she gat up and walked towards the back of the lab. " You really do remind me of my younger brother... or at least... how he used to be at first." She gestured her to fallow her into the back. " Ill show the list and explain some of their strong points. You decide from there which best suites you, Raven." She said still walking towards the back.

"It's Revan, miss, not Raven. I'm not a bird." She followed after the woman, glancing around the lab as they went through it. She had never really seen so much research done for pokémon, it seemed so... useless in her eyes. Pokémon were just animal things that happened to shoot lightning, why would anybody wish to do research on them? None of it made any sense to Revan, but then again, Pokémon in general did not.
"A list? I... suppose that'd work. I really don't know anything about Pokémon, so any help would be much appreciated."

Sora giggled slightly." but the nickname Raven fits you X3. Well enough jocking around." They arrive at the back room, a list of Pok?mon is present on the desk next to a group of Pok?Balls." Ok.. time for the simplest of tips. " Points to the list. " Since I can tell you havent the slightest clue about Pok?mon Ill explain the simplest things about them. For starters, not one Pok?mon is the same as the next. EAch have their own ways of growing and of learning. Also, each Pok?mon have certain strong points and certain weak points; for example, a electric type such as Raichu would have a hard time causing any damage to a rock or ground type such as the rock snake Onix or mole Pok?mon such as sandshrew.." Sora said smilling " You catching all this Revan?"

"Electricity weak against rock and ground..." She nodded slightly, grabbing a notepad and scribbling it down. "I think I understand, it's a bit like rock, paper and scissors, is it not? Rock beats scissors, scissors beat paper, but paper beats rock?" That was just about the only thing she could come up with to compare it to. She didn't really know anything about elemental weakness kinds in Pokémon, but rock paper scissors did come fairly close.
"I'm sure I could work that out. I guess I should make a chart of these weaknesses..." She glanced down at her notepad, before glancing back at the Pokéballs. "Oh, wait... I know these, that's what a Pokémon is stored in, isn't it?"

Sora nodded. " That they are. Though making a chart wont help you. Notes, charts and statistics are as good as spit in a true battle. In the end youll have to go with your gut instinct and have faith and trust in your Pok?mon. So tell me... what kind of element you like?" Sora said trying to figure out a way to help Revan pick out a partner who would fit her best.

"Element?" She did not know anything about Pokémon elements, so she wouldn't even know what kinds of elements there were. Still, she did know about elements in general. Fire, water, air and earth?
Placing the notebook away, she looked over the Pokéballs, trying to figure out what kind of element would fit her. The answer came rather quickly in her mind. "Fire."
Fire easily suited her the best, she had always been a bit of a hothead. On more than one occasion had Surge compared her temper to that of a stubborn and fight-first-talk-later Charizard. Whatever a Charizard may have been.
