Professor Dogwood
"Of course you will, young man. I didn't notice you come in. I'm not mad, just be more careful next time. No, no one is too late to choose a starter. Go ahead and make your pick."
"Hello, everyone! I'm professor Dogwood! I welcome you to my lab and congratulate you on choosing your starter Pokemon! Now I have a few things to tell you all. First of all, is that you cannot keep the Pokeballs that were with the starter Pokemon. Those are experimental, and we only have so many. Normal Pokeballs don't work on the Pokemon here in this region for reason very scientific that I won't get into. Instead, I have come up with a way to house your Pokemon. If you have already heard the spiel, then please wait patiently, and here. Take care of that nose." Dogwood handed a tissue to the young lad whose nose was a spicket.
The professor walked over to a shelf and grabbed a container. She pulled out 6 crystals and handed them to Timothy. Then repeated the motion for Audrey and Anthony. She kept one for herself.
"These crystals will take the place of poke ball. To catch a Pokemon in it, just say the Pokemon's name and then return. Like So."
The Professor held the crystal out toward a Charmander and said, "Charmander, return!" All of a sudden the Charmander was engulfed in a bright light and then shrunk as it wall pulled into the crystal. The professor held out the crystal again and said, "Charmander, I choose you!" Then Charmander appeared and looked at the Professor before running over to her. She Gave the Charmander a pat on its head.
"Now. These crystals are available at any Pokemon centers for free, for registered trainers. When catching would Pokemon's, you can't just point the crystal at them and expect to catch them. You must first bond with them. For stronger Pokemon, that may be battling. For weaker Pokemon, that may be something as simple as giving them a berry. When you bond with a Pokemon, it will become encased in a white light, much like they do when being caught in the crystal. At that point, you can then hold the crystal up to it and capture it in the crystal. If you are not bonded with it and try to capture it in the crystal, simply, nothing will happen. You will just look like a fool holding a crystal towards a Pokemon while saying its name."
Then the professor walked over to a desk with a computer. She opened a drawer and grabbed two new state of the art Pokedexs. She plugged one, then the other into the computer and a picture of both the new trainers showed up on the screen. She then unplugged then and walked over handing them to Anthony, Timothy, and Audrey.
"Here is your Pokedexs. You are now registered for the Anteceon league. The Pokedexs will give you any information on Pokemon discovered in this region. If you can't find it in the Pokedexs, it hasn't been found yet. It also contains navigation through the routes and cities to find the gyms. I think that just about covers everything. Now, what are your names and do you have any questions for me?"
