"Great. I'll be right back, then." Magnus said to Eric, then he, Brandon, and Mark went into the Professor's Lab.
Walking inside, Magnus noticed that the Professor only had one assistant. Magnus thought that they must be awfully busy sometimes... He walked into the main room, and saw the Professor handing out Pokemon to a few brand-new Trainers.
"Alright kids..." Elm said to three trainers, two girls and a boy. "You can choose from a Chikorita, a Cyndaquil, or a Totodile. Only one Pokemon per person, though."
The three new Trainers argued amongst themselves, and then decided. The young boy chose the Chikorita, and the girls got the Totodile and the Cyndaquil. After retrieving a Pokedex and five pokeballs, the children ran outside to go get acquainted with their new Pokemon.
"More visitors?" Elm asked when he saw Mark, Magnus, and Brandon. "I take it you're not here for Pokemon... What can I help you with, boys?"
