When the group finally got moving, Joshua followed them silently, his hands in his pockets. He didn't really pay attention to Scientist as he gave them something that could loosely be called a tour. The buildings in this region were very different from the ones on the Johto region and caught his interest more then anything. He passively registered the locations of the shops, as he would likely end up visiting them to grab pokeballs, potions, maybe some repels and antidotes. He had a decent amount of cash from his last journey on him, so he could splurge a bit here.

When they finally arrived at the Professors laboratory he was somewhat unsurprised. Professor Elm was just as messy as this guy was, though probably more organized. At least when new trainers arrived he had Cyndaqui, Totodile, and Chikorita waiting for the trainer. This guy didn't have any of the pokemon ready. Still it gave him time to consider which pokemon he wanted, and therefore choose if said pokemon was there.

He had to assume each of the pokemon was capable of evolving twice, like the starters from every region. If that was the case his prefered choices where Froakie, Seedot, Larvitar, and Deino. Seedot was out of the question as a starter. It's only offensive move for a while would be bide, and that was not a very reliable move. If Seedot fainted early the move wouldn't do anything. Deino would be nice but if he came across those new Fairy-types, the little fella was pretty screwed as he was a Dark/Dragon type pokemon. Larivitar was a good choice but he preferred to get one later rather then sooner. That left Froakie, who was the most appealing one to him out of those four anyway.

Nodding to himself, Joshua looked around and examined the group, trying to spot potential allies and rivals. There was a guy who spelled out Fairy-type user and dressed in the oddest sense of fashion he ever saw... yeah not hanging out with him. There was the guy who had arrived with Professor Oak... Serious looking, probably not that social. A lot like Joshua himself then. A girl and guy duo, the girl seemingly having too much energy for her own good while the guy didn't have enough. There was a girl who had joined them just before they left. She resembled something of an angel, but Joshua didn't think much of it. There were so many others there, the more he looked, the harder it was to keep track of them all. So he just skipped the studying and waited patiently with his eyes closed.

Amelia watched the group as it slowly but surely grew, the trainers practically mobbing the poor scientist. She felt sorry for him but she didn't move forward to try and help him, since she herself was too scared to approach the group. When they finally began moving away she followed them at a distance and tried to keep an eye on them. Tried being the key word since she was easily distracted by their new and, in her opinion, beautiful surroundings. She had never seen anything like the buildings here and already loved them. Her sense of wonder increased further when she saw the fountain. That distracted her so much she almost lost sight of the group as they entered a building that didn't fit in with the rest.

She approached the building slowly and reached out to open the door and go inside when she remembered what was inside. Her nerves got the better of her and she back away slowly, now too scared to enter. She managed to stop herself from running away from the building and take a few deep breathes t calm herself and think. The group inside would leave eventually, so if she waited she might be able to enter after they all left. Seeing this has her best course of action she found a nearby bench and pulled out her sketchpad and a pencil. She looked around at her surroundings and upon finding something of interest, began working. Hopefully the group would leave the labs sooner rather then later.
