Back at the lab, most of the staff had knocked off for the day; only a few researchers were left with their work and would probably continue into the night. Brooke was at her desk, quickly flicking through emails and checked her calendar before logging off her computer and also putting Garchomp back into the storage system now that she had returned her other Pokémon to their Pokéballs. She was prepared for the journey tomorrow and grabbed various items off of shelves and packed them into her bag in case they were needed for tomorrow. Finally, a reinforced field laptop was tucked in; she zipped up the bag and tested its weight, satisfied with the outcome.
She grinned at Seth, "Alright. Back to my place then? It's not far. I hope you like leftover lasagne."

Ignus found himself in front of the research lab, wondering how to introduce himself. Don't worry about it Ignus, he thought as his hand reached for the door, Just be nice and introduce yourself. Honestly...why do I always freeze up when I'm introducing myself? As his hand clasped on the door, one of the Pokeballs on his sash jumped off, and the next thing he knew, he felt a figure push him right through the door and fell flat on his face, noticing a giant zebra Pokemon with white zigzags standing on four legs in front of him. "Ugh, Arashi," he said irritably, the zebra Pokemon giving him a friendly nudge, "How many times have I told you not to just push me into a building when I'm feeling nervous...honestly, this is the twelfth time you've done this overall, and-"
The Explorer then noticed the two Trainers from earlier looking at him, and he nervously scratched his head, thinking to himself I think I might have just plain bad luck today...yeah, bad luck...
(Hope this is good enough)

Seth watched as the Professor packed her things, she worked quickly and diligently. Beside him, Quilava held the egg warmly- it had really grown a special attachment to it.
Finally ready, Brooke said, "Alright. Back to my place then? It's not far. I hope you like leftover lasagne."
"Sounds delicious," he said truthfully, he realized he hadn't eaten since his coming to Kansai. "Hey, Professor, I really appreciate this, I owe you one."
He heard a thump outside and looked up curiously, but didn't move until the Professor did. For all he knew, it was something that happened often, and he didn't want to come off as paranoid.

"Hey, Professor, I really appreciate this, I owe you one."
Brooke smiled at the young trainer, "It's nothing," she offered a slight shrug, "I used to get stuck back when I was training, so I know what it's like when you haven't got a place to hang out for the night." She laughed, oh the memories; running through a thunderstorm with her Charmeleon and rushing into the nearest open door she found to find that thankfully it was an inn. Phew! She was glad that she actually lived in her own house now, well, apartment. Even though she was Pokémon Professor, she couldn't afford a house!
"...Honestly, this is the twelfth time you've done this overall, and-"
Brooke turned as Seth froze from the sound of a thump, she peered around her desk and stared at the man that had been shoved into the lab's foyer by a Zebstrika , she quirked a brow, "You alright there?" She asked, going over to lend him a hand to get up.

"You alright there?" The Professor asked, going over to lend him a hand to get up. Ignus, blushing slightly out of embarrassment, accepted her help and got up, dusting off his coat and readjusting his hat hanging off his neck, his Zebstrika Arashi giving him the look of confusion.
"Yeah, I'm fine, just a little dusty, that's all." Ignus replied, scratching his head as usual, his strand of fire-red hair shifted to cover his right eye and the scar above it. "Sorry about that, Arashi here tends to get a little impatient when I feel either nervous or indecisive. Basically," he looked over to the Zebstrika, now giving him the impatient look it always gives him, "You could say that he's my voice of reason when it comes to impatience about something. Anyways..."
He held out a hand to the Professor. "My name is Ignus Draco. Professor Oak sent me here on a matter of personal business. You must be Ms. Brooke Verity, the new Professor over here in Kansai. It's nice to meet you." He then looked over his shoulder to Seth, and said with a warm smile, "Hello there, young man, great battle you had today. To be honest, I could tell you would win."

She stepped back as he stood and smiled as she placed her hands on her hips, “That’s good, no harm done.” She chuckled, ”nothing to be nervous about here, none of us bite.” Brooke joked, flashing a grin to Seth. She turned in time to see Ignus offer a hand to her, which she took and gave it a good firm shake, ”Oh! You’re an acquaintance of Professor Oak?” Typical, the old man wouldn’t trust her by herself! Oh well, at least he was looking out for her!
Brooke nodded, a wide grin on her face, ”Yes, that would be me. Please, just call me Brooke, everyone else does.” Brooke or ‘Doc’ it seems, ”It’s nice to meet you too, Mr Draco.” She stepped back to allow Ignus to speak with Seth before cutting back in herself, ”We were just leaving, could we possibly discuss business in the morning? I won’t be here, but I’ll be meeting up with one of my colleagues and a Ranger to investigate a problem with the Vibrava in the Jungle. I’m sure you are capable, so you could join us? Seth will be coming along too.” She smiled at the trainer and then started to leave the lab, she would wait for everyone to leave before locking up.

The new stranger seemed to be friendly, and Seth smiled as he introduced himself. He introduced himself as Ignus Draco- interesting name- and mentioned he had personal business with Brooke.
"Hello there, young man, great battle you had today. To be honest, I could tell you would win."
Seth looked surprised, but grinned. "Uh, thanks. I just got to Kansai a little while ago, I appreciate the comment." He gave a little nod of the head to further prove it.

Ignus nodded to Seth, smiling warmly, and replied, "Well still, it took me a while to keep Garet under control while we were watching the fight. Anyways..."
He nodded to Brooke, saying, "That would be swell. I haven't seen any Vibrava since my time in Hoenn. But enough reminiscing, my Pokemon and I need to head back to camp." Ignus then began to walk out of the lab, and stopped at the door frame, removing his hat and bowing like a gentleman, sweeping the hat in his hand, and said, "I wish you both good evening, and sweet dreams. And also..." He then placed his hat on his head, and pointed outside. "If you need to look for me, just head out of town and you'll see my campsite. Can't miss it. Well, again, good evening to both of you. Come, Arashi." Ignus then walked out, his Zebstrika following him out.
"Yes, yes, Arashi. Like I told Garet, we will get to see Pokemon soon enough," said Ignus later when Arashi and him made it back to their campsite, the other Pokemon looking up at his presence, Baron and Garet immediately running up to him. "Worry not, Baron and Garet: I agreed to go with the two to look at some Vibrava disturbance or something. Rest assured, you two will get the fighting should negotiation no longer be an option." The two grunted in agreement and excitement, Ignus nodding with a smile on his face.
"Who knows...I might be able to fight someone or something...eh, who knows..."

Sunny as usual in Kansai, a cool breeze was refreshing as Vincent sat atop the roof of a building overlooking the pokemon lab. He glanced down to the ground, "Least we're low enough to drop down if we need to, aye Celeste" He muttered, never being good at voicing himself clearly, probably due to the fact that he spent more time with pokemon than people, still Vince's Absol Celeste was used to Vince's low undertone, as she nodded in recognition and snuggled up to him. Vince tussled the fur on her head just at the nape of her horn, her favorite little spot, he'd never been one to openly say how he felt about anyone or anything but he and his pokemon both had their own little ways of showing their affection, and that's the way he liked it. "hungry?" he asked Celeste in a soft tone tilting his head to he could see her face which was now rested against his chest. Celeste instantly perked up, "I'll take that as a yes" Vince laughed to himself, reaching into a small bag to grab the last of the plant leaves he'd collected before arriving in town, he'd definitely have to go forage some more, or be normal for once and visit a nearby shop, grabbing a bit of herbal bark for himself, a good source of protein even if it did taste like grimer sludge. As he tore off a strip and tossed it into his mouth, he noticed a man coming out of the laboratory, followed by a very dominant seeming Zebstrika, he muttered to himself how Zelta was nowhere near so disobedient before turning to Celeste and asking, "Want to go say hi? it's been a long time since we've had a battle," his voice trailing off at the end in more of a hazy thought than an actual sentence. Loyal Celeste quickly nudged him back to earth and took stance to jump from the roof.
Glancing down quickly, Vince nodded to Celeste and the two dropped quickly to the ground. Spreading his legs and dropping low to the ground before landing just as Celeste had, had avoided any unpleasant pulling of muscles, still the jolt to his system had been a good wake up call for Vince and he drew himself up to stand again. "Hey you, with the Zebstrika" he called out,

"Hmmm?" Ignus then turned around, as did Arashi and the others, to look at the young man jumping down from the nearby roof with a female Absol. Garet immediately tensed himself, but Ignus held a hand in front of the Gallade, causing Garet to stare at his Trainer, who apparently had a tense look on his face. Ignu's gaze then relaxed, and he smiled, saying, "Why hello there, young man! Can I help you? I take it you've been to Unova, seeing as you know about Arashi's kind."
The Zebstrika immediately glared at the pair, and Ignus laid a hand on Arashi's head. "Now, now, Arashi, we are not here to fight unless we are challenged." Ignus then turned back to face the young Trainer, and said with a stern look, "I am afraid you caught me at a bad time. I need to meet with some people in the jungle tomorrow morning, and accepting a challenge from you will delay the rendezvous. Therefore..." He then crossed his arms, and continued, "State your business, and I'll see if its worth my time."

If you need to look for me, just head out of town and you'll see my campsite. Can't miss it. Well, again, good evening to both of you. Come, Arashi." Brooke dipped her head in understanding, "Not a problem. We shall see you in the morning then. Good night Ignus." Brooke smiled, before leading Seth away back towards her apartment not too far away. The night was drawing in fast, but the sun still looked lazy on the horizon, it looked beautiful. (Exit post! We'll let you two finish up then you can come join us in the jungle
