[color=ec008c]"No, I don't think we are. Let's get started then, shall we?"[/color] Professor Cedar smiled to the trainers, giving off a positive tone in the room. She walked over to the table, and called their names, gesturing to the Pokeball, Pokedex, and two crates under the table, one, with a Pokenav v.7 and the other overflowing with pokeballs, labeled, take five. [color=ec008c]"Alex.... Praxis... Carna... Marieka... Edgar."[/color] When his name was called, Alex walked up to the table, and grabbed the necessary items, clipping the pokeballs to his belt. He had everything, he was ready to go, but didn't know what to do. He didn't want to leave so early, but he also wanted to start off on his adventure. He gulped in anxiety, and walked to the door, but then turned around. He waved at his mom, and walked out the door. The cold air of the outside greeted him, as well as the thousands of wonderful smells coming from the various restaurants. He walked down the street, not knowing where to go, when he heard a crash from an alleyway. The sound was loud enough to attract the people bustling down the street, and to reach the lab. The next second, someone was hurled from the alley, and a person in black pants, a black coat, as well as a black hat emerged from the alleyway and walked up to the man on the floor. [color=7ea7d8]"Have the money by the end of the week... Or else."[/color] The man the stomped on the man's nose, and walked away, back down the alleyway. Without thinking, Alex ran after him, shouting to try and get his attention. He hoped the noise would have alerted the others, and get their interest so they saw him go down the alleyway, if it didn't... He was in big trouble.
