[b][u]A collaboration between Shadow and Cha-Cha[/u][/b]

After she had said goodbye to Shay, Acacia jogged over to Wigglytuff who quickly grabbed her hand and dashed off with Acacia in tow. She wondered why her pokemon seemed to be in such a hurry, but after a few moments, she noticed a guy had fallen into the pond, along with a pokemon. A few of the water pokemon were looking at him concerned and some others were playfully spraying him with water. Despite her pokemon looking worried, she was trying to hold back a laugh.

[color=aquamarine]"Oh gosh, are you alright?"[/color] she asked the guy, stepping over and into the water to help him up. Wigglytuff followed and waddled over to help the pokemon, a Deino, out of the water and into the grass next to the pond.

[color=007236]"Thank you very much"[/color] Albert responded to the girl who had helped him up, it took him a few moments to register who she was but he soon made the connection. [color=007236]"Aren't you the professor's Lab assistant?"[/color] He asked while attemping to clear his glass's. Acacia was quiet for a long moment as she was holding herself back from yelling at the guy. She knew he didn't know that she wasn't an assistant, so it wasn't his fault. Giving a smile, she placed her hand on the guys shoulder and squeezed it hard.

[color=aquamarine]"I'm his [i]apprentice[/i]. Not [i]assistant[/i]."[/color] she said in a cheerful voice that was probably scarier than her mean voice. Her pokemon behind her looked worried for a moment before going back to making sure the Dieno was OK. Albert thought the girl was insane... a psychopath, the voice, the crushing grip. Albert wanted to run and hide. She was awfully adament on enforcing her status. [color=007236]"Look, I didn't know. Please let go."[/color] Albert said trying to keep a straight face while keeping his eye glanced on Deino and flicking back and forth between the two. Deino didn't look particularly harmed by the dunk in the pond. Alberts mind was more on the fact this girl was, way out of his league. Blinking and removing her hand from the guys shoulder, she let out a laugh and rubbed the back of her head.  [color=aquamarine]"Ha, I was totally just teasing ya. Wigglytuff, can you go get a towel for him and his pokemon."[/color]

"Wigglytuff!" she said, before wobbling off and out of the sanctuary.

Turning her head and looking at the pond, she noticed the pokemon had all lost interest in them after a few moments. All but one. A little Spheal was peering at Albert, trying to hide as much of its body under the water as it could. Smiling, she went to the edge of the pond and held out her hand to it. It shyly swam over, though its eyes were not on Acacia, but on the guy. 

Albert noticed the girl heading over to the pond and holding out her hand to something, that something just happened to be staring at him, was it fate to be or was that thing shy. [color=007236]"Undoubtedly you are looking at me so... how are you doing? The weather been good for you? Perhaps you ate something delicous? You know what I think its time to be more direct in my speech. Spheal do you want to come travel with me? Watch my back in all situations and become our newest member?!"[/color] Albert shouted almost like he was at a rally.
Deino just stood and listened to his soggy trainers speech.

Acacia rose her brow at the sudden excitement of the guy. The Spheal rose its head up out of the water a little, its expression was pretty happy. Noticing a little bruise on the pokemon's head, Acacia would reach into her pouch and retrieve a Potion, spraying a bit of the medicine on it. 

[color=aquamarine]"It looks pretty fascinated with you. If you're here to find a pokemon, why not that one?"[/color] she said, standing as Wigglytuff came over with two towels, handing them to her. She reached out and gave the towels to the guy and gave another smile. [color=aquamarine]"Well, I'll be going if you're alright here. Dont forget to get the items before their gone."[/color] Turning, she rose a hand and waved over her shoulder before walking away, Wigglytuff right behind her.

Albert lifted Spheal from the water holding it with both hands he gently carried it over to the table of free stuff, acquring a Holo - Caster and a map both of which would prove invaluable, but then came the best bit grabbing a Poke - Ball he lightly tapped Spheals head, A gentle ball vibrated in his hand before pinging in completion. On the outside Albert was silent but inside, he was celebrating, like a madman.
