It was five minutes before noon when Van found himself stopping in front of the main entrance of the laboratory. As he stood in front of the large building, the new student allowed his gaze to scroll up the side of the large building. It was certainly a sight to behold for Van, easily dwarfing the laboratory in Littleroot Town. After allowing his eyes to linger on the top of the large building for a few moments, Van shifted his gaze back towards the main entrance. A mixed feeling of anticipation and curiosity ran through him as he hefted the pack and the guitar case that hung from his shoulders, clutched the travel case in his left hand and approached the doorway.
As the doors opened, a tide of cool air rushed out of the door to greet him. A small shiver ran down his back from the air conditioning as he entered the main lobby and looked around. Not surprisingly, the large room before him was mostly empty. The only other person in the room was a woman working on some paperwork behind the large desk. Looking at the clock behind the main desk, which displayed the time as noon, Van could only assuming both the students and the teachers were busy with classes as he approached the desk.
Taking one last look around, Van approached the desk and told the woman his name and time of his appointment. The woman behind the desk nodded and typed his name up in the computer before picking up the phone. After a brief conversation with whomever picked up, Van was instructed to wait until he was called. With nothing else to do, Van simple thanked the woman and approached a window near the front door, placing the travel case in his hand on the floor next to him. From the laboratory's elevated position compared to the rest of the island, Van could see a good portion of the island spanning out before him. As he waited, Van began to make mental notes of areas that would possibly be worth visiting once he was settled in.

[/b] A smooth voice called across The Laboratory. Standing near another door located amongst the lab's technical devices was a tall, white-haired man wearing nothing but the color of alabaster. His eyes were like that of a demon's- vivid, cold, and an odd shade of neon blue. One had to wonder if he was actually wearing contacts... Then again, asking almost seemed rather intimidating. And to think this was getting lucky. Van could have gotten Yin as his instructor, and Yin's tests weren't always tests- moreso judges of character. "Follow." Yang instructed. He stepped into a broad room, figurng Van would have no choice but to follow after him anyway. The room the rookie would be taking his test in was about as blinding as the color of Yang's hair. It was purely white with a few shelves lined with pokeballs, along with what seemed like an endless amount of gravel paving the ground. "Here you will take your battle exam. I will give you your rank depending on how you do, along with your first Pokemon to get you starter." He told Van; taking a tray of pokeballs into his arms and removing a Pokeball in the middle for himself. "Choose one and throw it out and we may begin. You may have the first move." He spoke. If Van were to release his Pokemon, the Pokemon attending the battle would be as shown below: VS [/size][/center][/ul] Yang : Golem Van : Wormadam (( You may only use attacks that your Pokemon learns naturally. This does not include egg moves, and most certainly not TMs. ))

The sudden appearance of a voice from behind him would have startled Van had he not been expecting it. Turning to see where the voice had come from, Van immediately noticed the tall man standing next to a door across the room. His eyes met with the other's as Van listened to the simple command given to him. Although he kept a straight face, Van could feel a small tingle run down the scar on his face from the appearance of the man's eyes. He had always thought his red eye was unnatural, but the almost demonic appearance of the other man's eyes had almost made his own eye look normal. Shaking his head free of his thoughts, Van picked up the luggage he had set on the floor and quickly followed the man through the door.
The brightness of the room Van found himself in was nearly blinding at first. It took a moment for his eyes to adjust to the sudden brightness, but once they had, he could tell the room was an arena. As he followed the man through the room, he took note of the deep gravel beneath his feet. Gathering good traction would be difficult. He turned his attention back to the man when they stopped and a tray of Pokeballs were presented to him. Nodding at the man's instructions, Van inspected the pokeballs before plucking one from the corner of the tray.
"Very well." Van said in response to the man's instructions. Taking is place on the field, Van once again set down his luggage beside him and released the Pokemon inside. Compared to the Golem the instructor had released, Van surmised the fight to be nearly even, though in his favor by types alone. The Wormadam he had was part bug type and thus vulnerable to any rock type attacks but Golem was extremely weak to grass types. Van took a moment to mentally gather everything he had studying about the Wormadam series before initiating the battle.
"Wormadam, use Growth!" Van ordered. The Wormadam followed the order quickly. A green aura surrounded the bagworm Pokemon as its battle strength began to increase from the attack. Then, as quickly as it had begun, the attack ended. It's strength grown, Wormadam was ready for battle and waiting for its next command, but no command came. Van was content to see what his opponent would do in response to Wormadam raising its stats instead of jumping straight into a battle.
