Finding A Start

[Martin Adler]

Martin looked at the Laboratory with a bit of awe, looking starstruck by anyone who happened to be passing by. He was intimidated not by the building but of what it represented to him. The years of neglect by his parents had been difficult and now that he was free of them, anything was possible. That was why he was here, why he was intimidated, because anything was possible. It was a wonderful chance to be accepted into the Academy but there was always the possibility of him being rejected and left with no heading once again.

Gathering his nerves, he took a deep breath and then moved into the building. Martin was almost overwhelmed with how much white was used to decorate the building. If he did not know any better, he might has thought the building had once been used as a mental institution there was soo much white. Though the chairs to the left looked inviting after his travel to the island that housed the Academy, Martin wanted to get his test over with as soon as possible. The sooner he knew if his hopes in this place were well founded or not, the sooner he would be able to know what was to come in his immediate future.

Looking around again, he saw someone who looked like they may have been able to help him. "Hello. I was wondering if you could help me find a tester. I'm a new student and would really like to see about getting a pokemon." Martin remained calm as spoke, even as his nerves were eating away at him. Hopefully this person would be able to set him on the right path.

[Yin]

Martin's wish to get out quickly would be answered. Yin looked up at the student from the book he was reading. "Failed, Black Dorm, grab one of the loser Pokemon over there," he muttered as he lowered his head back to the book not paying the student much attention. Yin wouldn't give anyone the time of day unless they seemed like they deserved it.

((Tough luck, Yin automatically fails 98% of the students that have the misfortune of getting him as a tester. Anyway, choose one of these Pokemon and PM me which one you want: Nidorina Gulpin Mankey))

Martin frowned, was this really how the Academy was run? Maybe those horror stories he had heard in the city where true afterall. Never the less, the disappointment in the tester was overcome by the excitement of being able to choose a Pokemon. Heading over to where the tester had seemingly pointed out, Martin looked at the choices of Pokemon available.

With the selection being between Nidorina, Gulpin, and Mankey, none of them Pokemon Martin knew much about, he had a tough choice to make. Though Nidorina was an evolved Pokemon, meaning it would be stronger, would it still be the same as raising a Nidoran up? Martin did not feel that would be the case and eliminated it from contention. Deciding between Gulpin and Mankey would be a coin toss and he just decided that Mankey it would be since his brother had mentioned catching one in one of his e-mails he had sent since leaving home. "I suppose this is better than the alternatives." Martin said to himself, wondering what was next.

"Get out," muttered Yin, not bothering to even look at the student.
