And with that, Pureplain City now has an airport! Of course, Pokémon are 100% allowed on the planes, regardless of any possible life-threatening situations that involve the use of Pokémon moves on a plane. Heck, they probably allow battles on-board with no danger of breaking the walls, alike how battles on ships or in corridors is totally fine. The flight attendants were totally Lopunnys, too, obediently serving snacks and such to the passengers. Speaking of passengers, a great deal of them were Pokémon, from people bringing their Bunnelbys, a Flabébé flying about, and two seats taken by a huge Pangoro. Just because.
That aside. Ryu eventually found his way through Pureplain City, the city having many have Lillipups and Meowths around as he walked, and more than the occasional Pidgey mixed in with the crowds of people wandering around. There was, of course, the much more occasional unique Pokémon, but moving on. Eventually, he found his way to Kalmia’s lab, saw the state of the front yard, the dude on a bike that was about to leave, and summoned the courage to walk up to the door and knocking on the door…
And shortly after the door blew open by this dude jumping out in a hurry, running over to stop the guy on the bike.

To Basil, and perhaps Cyril too but he missed it because of talking, there were a couple of knocks on the door before Cyril shoved open the door.
‘Oh, dear! He’s here!’ Kalmia called, as she hurried over to the door after Cyril passed.
It is completely up to @BlackMaiden if Ryu avoided the door in time or not. Regardless.
‘Ryu! I’m so happy you could make it! Are… are you alright?’ this blonde woman in glasses and a lab-coat asked as she came over to the now-open door. ‘I’m Professor Kalmia! Here, come on, in!’
Inside the lab was a rectangular room, but the usable space was more round because the room had bookshelves placed in a circle around an area in the middle, not properly taking advantage of the space in the corners. The shelves contained varying books and papers of research, as well as the occasional Pokéballs. In the back and right, a large amount of what appeared to be computer servers filled about 40% of the available space, and they were coupled to a laptop which stood on a desk to the left of it. Other than the laptop, there was also a large amount of papers and binders on it, making it impossible to place anything else on there.
To the right of the table was a healing station from a Pokémon Center, with places to place six Pokéballs, along with a large cylinder thing with a glass middle and a hatch that one likely were to place something moderately large within. There was nothing that said what it actually was. While it was tight in here, it was still decently maneuverable and Kalmia likely knew where everything she wanted was. Also in here, were numerous Pokémon. They are, perhaps not entirely limited to,
From Claire (Rune_Alchemist) a Beedrill and a Ledyba.
From Erika (Pirouette) a Poliwag and a Pikachu.
From Erza (Ephemeral) a Meowth, a Lillipup, a Growlithe, a Castform and a Duskull.
From Amelia (Joshua Tamashii) a Yamask, Golett and a Spiritomb.
From Skylar (Gardevoiran) a Goomy.
As well as a Slowpoke, resting on the servers over there. Besides that, there were also five other humans in here! This is not counting Kalmia herself, or the guy who just flew out the door! Yupp, decently crowded.
‘Basil, Chloe! This is Ryu. He’s a new trainer, like you. Ryu, this is Basil and Chloe, say hi. The guy who flew out the door past you was Cyril, who also got a Pokédex from me here,’ Kalmia said, as she gestured towards Basil and Chloe.
Chloe, who’d been considering what Cyril told her, brightened up as Ryu got introduced.
‘Oh, hello! I’m Chloe! I’m happy to meet you! Let’s have excellent adventures!’ Chloe wished him, totally happy.
‘And these are my assistants, Tim and Tom…’ Kalmia gestured towards a couple of basically identical young twins…
‘Him, too!? You’re giving Pokémon to so many!’ Tim(?) objected.
‘Give us some, too! We’ll play a trick on you if you don’t!’ Tom(?) warned.
‘Maybe when you’re older! For now, I need assistants to help take care of all the Pokémon!’ Kalmia smiled at them. And then, finally… ‘… And this is…’ Kalmia gestured towards the last one. A bespectacled man in a suit, with a top hat and red ribbons here and there, as well as very amused smirk, tipped his hat towards Ryu.
‘I am Jacques, of the Isson Elite Four. How do you do?’ he began. ‘I’ve also been distributing Pokédexes to young hopefuls, courtesy of Professor Sycamore. Chloe is one of mine, as is Rodger, outside. Me and Kalmia is having a bit of a friendly rivalry about our trainers…’
‘Still, another one?’ Jacques asked, looking actually honestly perturbed for once. ‘You’re killing me, Kalmia, I’m running seriously short on available hopefuls,’ he lamented as he once again had a phone in his hand and checked through his numbers.
‘You don’t need to prepare a rival battle for EVERY trainer I get~’ Kalmia grinned as if she’d won something. Regardless. ‘Alright, let’s get you set up,’ Kalmia said, as she went over to her computer and pulled out a shelf next to it. From it, she retrieved two items. She walked back to Ryu, and presented one of them to him.
‘Here you go. This is your Pokédex.’
‘Now, let me explain a few things.’
‘And then… finally, your Pokémon,’ Kalmia said, giving a little smile to Ryu. ‘We have… something special prepared for you. I’m sure you’ll like it~!’ Kalmia told, looking proud as she offered the Pokéball to him. And, as soon as he opened it…
With that Ryu was free to interact with his Pokémon and potentially anyone else in the room.
Meanwhile, outside.

‘Hm?’ Rodger paused, someone shouting so loudly would definitely be noticed, after all, the boy looking over at Cyril as he came prancing. ‘I’m Rodger, yeah,’ Rodger told, looking curiously at Cyril. After the question… Rodger chuckled a bit.
‘Asking to have me join your trip, huh? Now, I like your style for asking, but I already have a companion. I’m travelling with a smart dude called Oaken. Completely stone-faced, but very good at what he does. We split up in Stillwood Village because he beat the Gym and I couldn’t, but we’re to meet again in Lakewatch Town. I’m not going to bike through Wet Caverns, so I have take the long way around. I prefer to journey on my own terms, anyway, and journeying with Oaken is the same as on my terms because he’s completely ignoring me and as such it’s my decision to tag along, to keep up with him. Just going to smash that grass-Gym with my new Flying-type, first, gotta train Ace to a better level. Still, I’ll see you around. I look forward to fighting you one day,’ Rodger said with a slightly battle-hungry smirk.
Anyways, that’s that for now. Now what?
Connected areas:
Route 1. Easier path, just follow the bigger road.
Route 2. Walk through quite an amount of suburbs until you eventually reach the path.
Sea. There’s water, alright. Can take you anywhere you want to go, assuming you have means to traverse it.

- You've obtained Fennekin! -
Pokédex Entry #653 – Fennekin, the Fox Pokémon. It typically likes snacking on twigs, as the energy from them fuels its fire-type moves. To intimidate opponents it uses its roomy ears to vent air hotter than 390 degrees Fahrenheit. It can be temperamental, but typically does its best for its trainer if caught.
- Would you like to give Fennekin a nickname? -
