Professor Barney would smile lightly with a bit of a blush.
"I am not used to students being so polite. Welcome, Jinn." "Now, let's see if my Totodile will assist in this ...is he still wasted?"
The man would ask as the snore would reach the volume of the screen. The man would actually look a bit put down. There wasn't much anyone could say about this ....a drunk pokemon was a hard thing to ignore ....as the man would take a deep breathe and make scream out loudly.
"WAKE UP!"
The Totodile would almost clear half of the room as he hit the floor on his snout. He would totter to his feet holding his head in what seemed to be a mangrine, but was in fact ....the hangerover phase ...as he looks once at the screen and them promptly threw up on the floor.
"Not nice .....anyway, you can see why I didn't take him with me." "Jinn, as a new student, you have been recognized by the academy to train into a Strike member. Though, there is no way you can be successful at that alone, and with only 1 pokemon .....so, you are going to be heading out to Beginner Island."
"There you are required to capture at least 1 new pokemon to add to your team as well ....as bring back for this class a Rare Bone."
"The bone will have further usage in the future, but for now, you simply need to bring it back."
He would tell her ....as the Totodile during the talk would return to Jinn with four things in his paws. Three pokeballs, and 1 potion ...the pokemon was holding it out to her ....as he tries to keep from spilling another load on the floor.
"Now, to get to Beginner Island, you need to head to the pokemon center and then cut around to the back. Descend the stairway, but don't go all the way to the bottom ....otherwise, this might be our last conversation.
Anyway ...catch a ferry from there ....those boats should be power by pokemon, so you simply tell them your objective and they will take you to the island."
"Any questions?"
The man would ask her.

Jinn listened carefully to Professor Barney, seemingly unfazed by his alcohol-induced hangover. The truth was that she'd seen her fair share of drunken folks, and she didn't really mind. She was tempted to pipe up with her mother's hangover cure-all, but perhaps this wasn't the time. So she had to catch another Pokemon (hopefully she'd have better luck) and find an item called a Rare Bone. Rare Bone... she had heard of something that sounded like that! Maybe she'd seen it on a haul of mercantile treasure? It hadn't been something anyone could eat or play with, so they'd more than likely sold it. Still, she wished she could remember anything about what it looked like- but it was a bone, so how hard could it be?
Upon seeing the Totodile return, she quickly grabbed the items, stuffed her in her pouch, and gave him a gracious smile. "Beginner's Island, new Pokemon, Rare Bone," she muttered to herself. She'd always been an "auditory learner"- at least, that's what her mother had said. Personally, Jinn felt things were more concrete if she heard them in her own voice. Satisfied she could remember, she answered, "Seems straightforward enough. I got no questions, professor." Adjusting her newly-acquired items, she nodded firmly. "All right, I'm off. See you when I get back, Professor Barney!" And with that and a wave, she and Prosper were off.

And when one Mankey owner left, another came in with the fighting type resting on his back. "Professor?" he asked, walking in again. He still had four Pokemon in his party, but they were stronger and not 75% fire types. Only one was of the fire breed and he remained in his Pokeball.
Barney had said to come here to get to Iron Island, but Tsuki didn't know why he couldn't just use the passport he was given again and use the Empoleon Boat. Chances were he could catch another ride. But orders were orders he supposed.

Professor Barney smiled the moment that he entered, that was one of the needed three. A bigger grin would appear on his face when he saw that it was Tsuki ....it was a good moment, he didn't want to embarrass the boy in front of the others.
"So, that is 1 that has arrived." "Thank you for coming here ...."
He would tell him as his Totodile was dancing around the room or was he running become somehow he had managed to set his tail on fire. Either way, it was a fast movement with a streak of orange at the end of it.
"I am getting ready to send you and your two other classmates on a little trip, but before, I can send you ....I need them here. Anyway, I have made the arrangements for the trip already, and the reason for it is quite innocent enough.
As Strike team members, we tend to be placed on the front lines. I want you to see what we are fighting, and what we are fighting for ...so that you don't lose your way in the past few days that will follow after this mission."
"Though, it would seem that you haven't managed to gain what you need just yet."
"You are probably the weakest amongst your team so far, but, I will have them make a side trip back to Iron Island before we make the voyage to our destination."
"We will be going by Ferry."
The man told him ...as he would hand out the ticket to Tsuki.
"Make sure you don't miss it ...we shall arrive in the afternoon ...a day for now. Don't be late or you will be left out of it."
"That was all I needed from you, you may head onwards to the Iron Island. The ship and everything is waiting for you now, make sure you finish off everything ...quickly."
Tsuki receive -Dark Ferry Ticket

Tsuki ignored the Totodile. He probably had alcohol on his tail and it ignited. Besides, he had learne it was enter to just not pay the water type too much attention. "Yesir', I'll be back in no time." Tsuki would say, turning around swiftly before walking out. He needed to pick up pace and that meant he had no time for formalities like smalltalk. They probably wouldn't have time to search the island for the Karrablast and Shelmet but he hoped he would be able to go back later on anyhow.

With a Charmander hanging from his shoulder Raven would simply enter the room and await his Professor's next orders.

Professor Barney was there as he saw that Raven had entered the room. The man didn't say a word as he went to his cabinet and started to pull out things from it ....bags, food, and a few other things as his Totodile ran around the room screaming at the top of his head.
"TOOOOOTOTOTOTOTDILE"
Translated to: I am a little tea pot short and tall
Over and over....it was an amazing thing to watch when Professor Barney turned quickly and tripped his own pokemon as he would pounce on him. Sticking of all things a water vest on the pokemon before turning back to his task as pokemon took one look at the bright orange material and started to cry.
One had to wonder what in the hell was going on?

Fable tilting his head upon the child's shoulder, Raven would raise a single eyebrow in response to the sight before him. "Either I've interrupted an intervention, or someone's taking a trip cross the water" The youth commented a bit dryly, a fact which would be immediately proceeded by Fable falling off his shoulder and striking the floor.
Though the Fire-Type didn't say a word, his crossed eyes spoke volumes. Had the normally stoic Raven just made something resembling a joke!?
Only providing the Charmander with a brief, perplexed glance over his shoulder, Raven would rather swiftly turn his attention back to his Professor. Raising a black gloved hand to his mouth, the child would produce a cough, the partial by-product of clearing his throat. "Do you require any assistance?" He asked politely, crimson eyes watching the man closely "If not, I would prefer to begin my next assignment as soon as possible."

Professor Barney would stop at that moment as he looks back over his shoulder at Raven. When had he arrived? It didn't matter as he turned and looked at him quite intensively.
"I don't need help ...but you need to get ready ...you next assignment is already decided. We are going to be taking a little trip to one of the forbidden areas, so I need you to make sure you have everything necessary. We won't be back for let's see ...3 or 4 days."
The man would think a bit.
"Maybe a week, so you might want to make sure you are really and truly prepared."
Professor Barney would state sharply. Strangely sharp for the normally relaxed man ...as he would shift through his materials once more looking for the items he would actually need.
His Totodile was still bawling at this point as his song turned to .....(THIS ISN'T FAIR! I WANT TO EAT THIS!)
"TOTOTOTOTOTDILLLLLLLE>>>>TOOOD!"

Raven's crimson gaze narrowed as the Professor spoke, his cloak rustling slightly as Fable slid down the back to touch down against the floor. For an instant the child's eyes would close, but in that time a myriad of thoughts crossed his mind.
Memories of his time before the academy. Days living on the streets. Eating trash, cold nights spent under cardboard, fighting simply to live even in the middle of sprawling cities.
Then came the days after his entrance. The battles. The struggles. His shortcomings.
Briefly the boy would shake his hand, left hand relaxing as it rested on the hilt of his weapon. He'd gathered his supplies. Prepared food for those he left behind...and carefully selecting whom would remain. His team would be short handed in the mean time; but better to leave the others to train then let them die in a battle they weren't prepared for.
He was as prepared as he could be.
Opening his eyes the boy would slowly exhaled, his words touching the air as he looked to his Professor seriously "If I was not, I wouldn't be standing here."

Overconfidences, he hated it sometimes as he would look at the child in his eyes.
"You are expecting the same sort of missions you have been on previous. This isn't it."
"I shall ask you one more time to check over your equipment, I won't be sharing mine."
He would say that piece threatening. The smiling face that normal Barney show was gone. He was all business, and he was serious as he added the last piece.
"This isn't some pleasure trip, and if you become a burden, because your aren't listening ...I will leave you behind. NOt just saleing woof tickets here, I really mean that part."
"The place we are going isn't a nice place for the strongest of trainers, and you guys are just pups. But you need to see the front lines, otherwise, you won't understand the next step in your training."
Professor Barney would tell him.

Raven began gritting his teeth, recognizing the man's change in demeanour before he even spoke. Red eyes narrowed as he struggled to rein in his temper...childish outbursts would do him no good here.
"I believe you may wish to clean the wax from your ears before hand then sir as their appears to be a faint issue with your hearing" The boy managed to say, his tone surprisingly polite despite the sharp nature of his words.
"I'd have no interest if this were some pleasure trip, nor have I been on one since the age of three" Raven stated, grinding his pivot foot against the floor "Given my current financial position I cannot afford any more equipment then I currently carry, my Pokemon cannot grow stronger without several days passing us by; doubtless we don't time for me to be training on some mountain before hand."
At this point Raven closed his eyes, gritting his teeth once more as he attempted to slow his breath, yet still he spoke "Don't mistake my words for overconfidence nor arrogance. I detest both" The youth stated plainly, one hand gripping the pommel of his sword "I wake every day very well aware of the possibility of dying. I expect it, and when the time comes so be it. The strong survive and the weak perish, be it because of their own weakness, or because one of the strong didn't step forward to defend them" Raven spoke calmly, his teeth and foot ceasing their grinding, his eyes opening once more as crimson orbs blazed "I promise you however that I won't be going down without a fight."
The boy's mouth was set in a heavy scowl.

"You should just say you don't have any more funds."
Professor Barney would declares back at him. Completely ignoring the last statement and most of the first. Strike is well known for letting their temper get the better of them as he would actually stand up and head to his desk. Pulling from his wallet a 1,000 in gold and hand it to Raven.
"I don't have that much, currently, and I want to make sure I have enough to give to the other students as well of the same amount.
This won't pay for a lot, but, anything extra you can think of ...will come in handy. Don't come back until you spend it all, as I said before, I won't be sharing my supplies."
Though as he handed the money over to him he would declare just as darkly.
"Going down without a fight isn't necessarily a good thing. If they kill you quickly, it's the worst they could do to you, but if you don't die so quickly ...if they managed to restrain instead of extinguish ...you would be surprise how many nice things can happen to you."
"How quickly you wished you had gone down without a fight."
"No, you are arrogant, but, it's okay .....every one your age is."
"They believe in invunrability and is short sighted to the aftereffect of their sacrifice."
Maybe, he hadn't completely ignored it afterall.
"Though, I don't want to argue that with you. Just make sure you have everything set up .....and I do mean everything."
He would tell him.
Raven recieve 1,000 gold.

For an instant Raven's eyes would cross. How did...why did....Oh how this man was giving him a headache. Professor Barney was officially the second most irritating man he knew...which made him the fourth most male human, and....well his standing became less impressive once other species started coming into it.
Taking the money the boy simply shook his head and released a sigh. He had at least three times this amount in his pocket; but if the man was going to insist so strongly he'd just have to return to the PokeMart. There was at least one thing he could thing of which might come in handy...
Gesturing for Fable to follow him, Raven would trudge out of the room. This was one of the rare moments where the child had honestly given up. There was simply no use arguing with a brick wall.
A Brick Wall named Barney. [Exiting to PokeMart]

His coin lighter, his satchel heavier, and his Pokemon safe within their balls, Raven would renter the classroom. It had only been a few minutes, yet somehow he felt as if the whole ordeal had taken upwards of a week. The child would open his mouth to state his preparedness, but thinking better of it would simply say "I'm back."
No doubt claiming he was prepared would be met with 'no you aren't' or something to that effect. The belief that he was being arrogant again, etc etc, though really it came down to information...or rather lack their of. How was one supposed to truly prepare for something they knew next to nothing about?
Dangerous was a rather broad description.
