Welcome to Gaia! ::

"I have responsibilities now."

She said, slowly, carefully, if these were her last words to the woman, they had to be good ones, "Since I reported here with Lindbergh, since I was made a trainer, I've had so many people and Pokemon rely on me."

"And... I've fallen far short."

"I know this will mean I have to work hard, but had sworn and I have no qualms, I don't mind giving it whatever I can to help."

"What I do, is knowing that something doesn't fit, that I don't fit what you need."

"And... Just by me taking this option... Kind of shows that I'm not the best decision maker there is, but for me, this is the best decision I can think."

"I want to be of use, and I want to help however I can."

"If this is the only way I can, I'll take it."


((Well, I'm working, but hopefully I'll be able to reply again in a few hours, lol))

((Whee, I'm sporadic, but I figured no use replying to this one until I could make TWO posts, lol))

Jasmine actually bit her lip as she saw the frown on the Gengar's face, she remembered when Savvy told him to take her to the lost and found closet the day she showed up and was nearly turned away.

And now, here was that day indeed.

She bowed suddenly, good and hard, nearly hitting Ironclaw with her hat at the same time.

"Thank you... For all the time you gave me."

"I... Am too young to make the words that fit... But I appreciate everything you've done for me."

"Even if I cannot return to your class... I hope to one day return to repay you, properly."

With that, she looked to Ironclaw, and nodded, as they would turn and leave.

Jasmine had to wonder what it was she had been building that Jasmine had fought the parts for with those needles and amber... But it was more than obvious now she was leaving, she didn't expect her to give the item now she was leaving this class...

A stray thought passed suddenly, the cell battery, Savvy had asked for that randomly and she had left it as bidden. What was THAT for?

She would have stopped and turned to ask for it back, but she left that train of thought behind, she would not ask Savvy for any more than she had already done.

And then another thought hit her.

The team chosen. Healing team. It sounded a nice fit... She hadn't fully digested it however, and only now did she realise who she was being sent to, who Savvy had told her to report to.

Joy.

Suddenly she thought of the shopkeeper's advice, and thought of moments ago how she had said the split personality would not bother her.

Now, with the woman about to be her boss, how would she feel about it then?

She might have bolted back to Savvy if it wasn't for Ironclaw wasn't the one being her legs and carrying her there already!


[EXIT TO CENTER]

Once she was fully in the classroom, Fay would soon be made to see that she wasn't the only one present whom seemed to be tired. With spiky blond hair and a pair of thick goggles hanging around his neck just like the girl's own, a man lay stretched out amidst an odd assortment of desks in the corner of the room...snoring like a bulldozer.

Unkempt, unclean, and dressed in rather ragged attire, it was difficult to tell if this man was supposed to be her Professor, or a street bum who'd climbed in the open window to take a nap.

Oddly in direct contrast to the man, at the front of the room would be an assortment of art supplies, abandoned for the time being by their owner...whomever that might be.

A sudden snort, and the Professor would roll over and off the desks, taking several of them down with him. Surprisingly however instead of landing in a jumbled heap with the various bits of furniture the man would catch the floor with one hand, performing a flawless handstand before half-flipping, half-rolling away from the student desks as they fell.

Once he came to a halt it would be standing on his feet, arms crossed over his chest and a bright smile plastered across his stubble strewn face "Professor Chase Wilder at your service" He announced, the sleep gone from his eyes and gleaming with a strange rugged charm "...but please, call me Professor Wilde."

Seating himself on the edge of the nearest non-upturned desk, the man would look Fay over briefly before asking quite cheerfully "How might I help you little miss?"

"And here I thought you were the new cleaning lady" Chase commented jokingly, kicking his feet lightly through the air as he leaned his butt a bit more heavily upon the desk.

"Well you've come to the right place; though remember it's not the class which is important" He stated calmly, starring up at the ceiling as he spoke "No matter where you are, remember that you are apart of the Tactic's Team, and more importantly a member of the Organization."

Hopping off the desk lightly, the man would turn to the girl then "So, are you ready for your first assignment?"

"Technically no. I said we should, but the Administration wouldn't go for it...I also suggested throwing a pie at new students to teach them the value of always having an exit strategy no matter how certain you are of victory or safety...but they wouldn't go for it" Chase said, shrugging slightly "People."

"Now then, down to business" Chase would state as he abruptly straightened, placing both arms behind his back.

"Hello there! Welcome to the world of Pokémon! My name is Chase Wilder! People call me the Wild Tiger! This world is inhabited by creatures called Pokémon! For some people, Pokémon are pets. Other use them for fights."

"First, what is your name?...wait I already asked that....Right! Your very own Pokémon legend is about to unfold! A world of dreams and adventures with Pokémon awaits! Let's go!" The Professor would declare, thrusting one arm into the air as he completed one of the most generic Professor speeches in the known world. It was a speech heard by thousands around the planet, by generations new and old. To think it would appear here was almost staggering!

"Now then!" Professor Wilde would declare, turning away from Fay and proceeding to one of the cupboards at the back of the classroom "Your first mission is to go to Beginner's Island. Once there you must obtain two things essential to a member of the Tactic's Team" He began, digging through the contents of the cupboard all the while "The first thing is a chunk of Amber, and I don't want to see you come back without one. The second is another Pokemon!"

Standing up sharply, the Professor would return with a number of items in his hands "And for that you'll be needing these" He said, placing 3 Pokeballs and 1 Potion on the desk beside the girl "Just like you can't always rely on a single strategy, you cannot always rely on the same Pokemon. You need to be able to adapt at the drop of a hat!"

That said, the Professor would give a firm nod "To reach the island go to the Pokemon Center. Once there circle around the outside of the building. It's there you'll find a set of stairs leading down to the bottom...but whatever you do don't go all the way to the bottom of the steps...trust me, it's no place for minnows."

"Once you reach the dock there should be a small row-boat being pulled by a Water-Type waiting for you. Any questions?"

"A good question...but one without an actual answer" The Professor stated, dropping into one of the chairs behind a desk and leaning back far enough that the he was leaning against the front of the next desk "The Amber could be literally just about anywhere. How you find it is up to you."

Though there would appear a Gengar in his face ...as a voice from the otherside of the room would proclaim quite loudly.

"Go and get your pokelot you stupid lil' kid." "You aren't suppose to come here just yet, this is why you are being ignored."

The women would declares as she walks from end of the place to the other. Gathering her things for the moment as she gives Elijah a dirt look.
