A Silent Beginning

[Ichigo]

You almost couldn't hear her as she approached the lab. With her twin-braided silver hair blowing behind her in the crisp breeze, she looked almost like a ghost. The Hoothoot on her shoulder didn't help. He didn't say anything as they approached the doors. The knock on the door finally broke the wretched silence.

Was she ready? She had a feeling she was. She'd be great; a magnificant coordinator like her mother! Actually, she was her aunt, but she saw her as her mother instead of the annoying woman that had actually given birth to her. Arthur remained silent, counting the seconds. No matter what happened, he knew that she was doing something that she loved, and he'd support her the whole way. Not like he had a choice, but still...

[Birdybot]

At the sound of the knock, Professor Pine was on full alert. His usual warm smile sprang immedietly to his face as he walked to the door, Telepa holding things up a little by messing around with tidying something in a spot which was too far for Pine to be able to open the door. He called her to him, however, and she landed hesitantly on his shoulder. He then, eyes twinkling happily, pulled the door open. Hm. A girl and her Hoothoot daemon.

Telepa extended a wing in greeting to the daemon, looking very pleased. She was clearly overjoyed to see someone with a daemon that was in the owl family. The Noctowl nodded to the Hoothoot as Pine began introducing himself. "I'm Professor Pine, and this is my daemon, Telepa. Come on in, please." he said in a merry, jolly way. He stepped inside his lab, opening the door wider for the girl to follow on.

"Right! So, any Pokémon in mind for your starter? I don't have many at the moment, I'm afraid." Pine asked brightly.

[Ichigo]

Abby only hesitated for a second before coming in. He seemed very nice; a person she knew she could trust. Arthur took this chance to speak up.

"You'll have to excuse her," he started. "Abby hasn't said a word since she was six. She relies on me to be her voice." He wished that she'd stop doing that. He missed hearing her voice, and had almost forgotten what it sounded like. Abby looked over at him, making her choice.

"She'd like a Ponyta," he answered for her.

[Birdybot]

Professor Pine looked quite intriuged as to why Abby didn't talk, but thought that it might be a tender subject. She'd probably had damage to her vocal chords or something. Well, he'd better leave that topic. A Pontya. Yes, she wanted a Ponyta. Good things daemons were here for us! He'd once had a poor lost soul come in without one. That had shaken him a lot and given him nightmares for weeks.

Well, he was getting a little off track there. Pine walked swiftly over to the filing cabinet, dug his hand in, and drew out two Pokéballs. He held them out to Abby, although he knew it'd be the Hoothoot on her shoulder who responded. "Left is male, right is female. What'll it be?" he asked.

[Ichigo]

Abby knew she'd have to make her choice carefully. Gender can be a strong factor in Pokemon contests. "What do you think I should choose, Arthur? she thought.

"It's your choice, not mine," he thought back.

With a faint smile, Abby pointed to the right Pokeball.

[Birdybot]

Pine nodded, smiling. He placed the right hand Pokéball in her hand, then went off to find a starter kit. That done, he gave it to her as well. "Right, female Ponyta, and your items." he said. That was everything, right? Yes, he was sure of it. Good, good! Telepa inclined her head to the other daemon, and Pine opened the door for Abby. "Goodbye, then! You're ready to start your journey! Good luck!" he said, waving.

OOC: I'm confused; I thought right was female.

IC: "Thank you very much," Arthur thanked on her behalf. Abby smiled her usual smile. It was the kind of smile that made it seem like she knew more beyond her years. She gave a slight courtsy, accepted what she needed, and left, her silver hair flowing behind her. She had left as quietly as she arrived, but deep down she was burning with white hot excitement.
