Hey! So, my application t'become a TA got approved. Guess that means I'll be here in a more bein'-bossed-around-by-teachers capacity. Lets me stick around though. That's good enough for me.

It seemed like a good idea t'sign up with one of Professor Birch's research programs on the side - y'know, get sent a Pokedex, gather data on Pokemon habitats, compile reports t'send back. 'Course, that was before all the animals around here started headin' for the hills...

Has anyone seen any wildlife still hangin' around here at all?

...Oh, and if anyone wants t'take these spare Pokeballs I got off my hands, feel free. For whatever good it'll do you, now that there's nothin' to catch.

The mentorship or talking to the mister about your surprise baby?

[flowerofmtsilver]

OH MY GOD

Both. The answer's both. But oh my god you don't have to phrase it that way.

[travelingbelle]

HEH

How could I resist? [Because if he wasn't a tomato over there, she'd eat her hat.] I think you'd be a natural at it either way though, so...

Congrats! It's almost like you're lining up to be one of the next profs running around.

[flowerofmtsilver]

Let's just... not... I'm tryin' not t'think about it yet, okay?

Prof? Fuck, I dunno if I could make it t'an actual professor. I could barely think straight in my academic classes. Fucked if I could actually do that shit for a living... I'd rather be out there in the grass an' dirt.

[Y E T]

Well, yeah! Isn't that why you signed up with Birch's programs? Y'can't really study habitats without getting in the middle of 'em.

[Look don't look too deeply into his wording]

It always seems like the actual professors're the ones sending kids out into the wild to do the legwork. Sounds boring as hell be in the lab end've things, just... I dunno, compilin' data into research papers.

[It's too late. She's jokingly read too many fanfics to let these things slide.]

It certainly helps to have a lot of extra legs but... Okay, but how often have you actually visited one of the labs?

[flowerofmtsilver]

[NooOOOoooOOOoo]

Not much, I guess? Just whenever we checkin' in with Professor Oak, but s'not like we ever stayed long.

[travelingbelle]

Aha, no wonder you think it's boring then! Sure there's a lot of paperwork sometimes, but the lab's more like a central hub than an office. People and pokemon are always coming and going, there's always something to get your hands in to... When you're there, anyway.

It was always really fun when I'd get to tag along with dad.

[flowerofmtsilver]

Huh, I didn't know your dad worked in the lab. Was he an assistant t'Professor Oak?
