Percy took his time in walking, as a young man of 16 he had only recently moved to this region and so far, he enjoyed it even without a pokemon of his own. He looked up at the sky and smiled, he loved the feel of the wind on his face, the aroma of flowers and grass. Mostly he loved open space, great grassland, climbing in the trees of a forest to peek across the land. If there was one thing Percy didn't like, it was enclosed spaces, especially ones without windows. If a building at least had windows he was able to stand it but without them he got uncomfortable though he would never say anything about it.
Once he looked down he saw the building, the place he had been asked to travel to. His parents had uprooted themselves from Hoenn to travel with him to this region, all based on the words of the letter that this "Professor Maple" had sent him. "Well, the doors are open. That's an invitation if ever I saw one." and with a smile he began running, after all he didn't want to be late.
He slowed a little to a jog just before he entered the labratory and stopped to take off his hat. At this point he could see the others, two other young people, around his own age, one who seemed to prefer his own company, one more cocky and as he entered he saw the other, a young lady whom he smiled at before continuing his walk up to the counter so that he was standing a little aside from the other two who were there, talking to the receptionist. He waited for a pause before grinning and letting her know that he was there. He was a little anxious, the room was a little stuffy but at least it was large-ish but he kept his smile before going to take a seat nearby the girl with the purple hair. He opened his bag and pulled out a book named "Pokemon types and weaknesses" it was an interesting read and at this point he was focussed on Flying type pokemon, his personal favourite.
