Papa was a Rolling Stone

As she was rolling around on the ranch floor embarrassingly, Rose couldn't help but degrade herself in her mind. She was such a failure, failing to even make a first step in her journey, changing that to a direct fall! So she falls down the very moment she tries to rise up, that's how it is? Screw this world, screw this life! It's better if she just disappeared right now! What's she even worth, a 16-year old like herself that can't even walk properly!? It's better if she'll be reborn as-- Nudge.

"...?" Removing her hands from her face as she laid on her back, the cherry-haired girl looked up with teary eyes at the Pokemon who poked at her arm. Her face was probably red from embarrassment and the earlier hit, though besides that and the nearly crying eyes, she looked fine nonetheless. Not managing to understand what is going on. Why was that Pokemon trying to talk to her? Wigglytuff. Generally a jolly and friendly species. She studied those in Poketech.

Before Rose had much of a chance to understand though, the Wigglytuff - female apparently - left towards a freezer. During that time, Rosetta used the chance to flip herself on her stomach, supporting her downed body with her forearm against the floor. While she had an assumption, the teenage girl could still nit be sure of this event. The kind Wigglytuff shortly returned with an ice pack and a few more speech attempts. That... Cleared things a bit more. "A-Ah... Thank you..." She said rather casually, rising to her feet and applying the bag of eyes against her forehead and nose bridge.

"(Cold!!)"

Rosetta took a short moment to inspect her surroundings. For a ranch, this place looked... Fairly domestic. A couch in-front of a television with a yoga program and a refrigerator were the more prominent furnitures she could take in. She then turned to the Wigglytuff. "Umm... Do you know who's in charge around? I came here because they said they could help me with my Pokemon journey here, so... Are you perhaps the rancher's Pokemon?" Stressed as Rosetta usually was around authority, Pokemon were much more easily conversed with. Maybe because she couldn't understand what they were saying.

The Wigglytuff suddenly started flapping enthusiastically some kind of paper in-front of Rosetta's face, much to the girl's surprise. Not really understanding what was going on, she tried looking through it as the Pokemon continued to flap it around. What was she trying to accomplish? Maybe wind the girl a little to ease the pain on her face? She soon however, realized her ridiculous assumption was wrong; it was a detailed page explaining three classes and the Pokemon one could pick for each. "Ah, no, ummm... I'm not really pi--"

And then the door behind them slowly swung open; a large man with a lab coat stepped in tiredly. Obviously, Rosetta took it that this guy was the one in-charge. This... Was bad. Recognizing the stranger as the person who should help her, the one with power in his hands, she immediately stood in attention stressfully, firing a barrage of words at the man. Even if he was tired, or whatnot. "U-U-Umm! I-It's a pleasure to meet you, I'm Rosetta Ceiteach and I'm here to get my first Pokemon, I-I'm coming from the Sinnoh Region and I'm very happy to start my journey and I hope everything goes well because I really hate failing and, and, I'm sorry for intruding and falling on your floor and littering it and please forgive me!!!" She bowed, very quickly, a few times in apology. She did not handle authority figures well.

But, the guy just went past her and headed towards the sink. Completely ignoring her presence. How rude! She was a person, she deserved to be noticed! How awful, some people were! Who did this guy even think he is!? At least some greeting, a hello wouldn't hurt anybody! She got irritated with the guy's ignorance, but couldn't show anything but am obviously stressed expression and a blush plastered over her face. She might have even sweated a little. Turning towards the guy, as he handed his hand for a friendly gesture, Rose proceeded to grab it, her hand shaking and moves very... Robotic. "R-, R-Rose!! B-But nothing of my choice is really on this paper thing and I'm really hoping that if I can train something like maybe something different like a type or whatnot then it'll be okay with you and stuff, sir!!" She bowed down, again.

"Oh wow, you're giving away Larvitars!? I've always wanted to see one of those, but they're just so rare! Do you mind if I pick out this one?" That sentence alone, would be too hard a sentence to exclaim, she declared. As she inspected the new list after feeling almost guilty about the Wigglytuff, who just trotted away with puffed cheeks obviously mad, at something (wonder what that was), the teenage girl made her decision quickly. But delivering it to reality was much harder than it should have been, for normal people anyway. Well, in her own accord, Rosetta wasn't entirely normal...

She was grabbing rather roughly at the page given, her hands in the tight squeeze of stretch blocking her view of two Electric-type Pokemon; the first and last in the line shown. So even if she already made her choice, getting to it would take time. Maybe Larvitar isn't the best choice? Binacle is an interesting Pokemon, and Nosepass are pretty rare. She could easily settle for one or the other on those two choices, already running their stats, abilities and other known static details in her head. Except that... In her confusion and stress, the girl displayed her intensive memorizing ability in the form of silent mutters.

Eventually the girl realized she was making this way longer than it should have been... And thus decided to go ahead and throw her choice. Rock-type, Larvitar. Only those three words would suffice. Only three words, how hard could it really be? Very hard, in her case. "Ummm... I'd, l-l-like..." Come on girl, you can do it! Just say it, even if quickly! Let it out and you'll be fine, really! Take a deep breath, and... "...One moment please." ...take a break!

Standing in-front of Toby, plainly ashamed of her disability, Rosetta put one hand on her chest and closed her eyes, releasing her other hand which held the page. Then she took in two deep breaths: in through the nose, out through the mouth. Done slowly, to steady her rate and calm her down. At the same time, the girl counted down from ten to one, using such childish yet effective method to relax her soul. Okay, now she was ready! With a genuine smile, the girl opened her eyes -- to see Toby. A figure of authority. And, she froze again. "(What the hell did I even accomplish!!?)" At least she was smiling again, an honest smile. Evenif it's... Stuck.

Shaking her head violently, Rosetta jumped in the water all at once, taking in more air and holding both of her hands together. Then she bowed and announced at long last: "Rocktypelarvitarplease!! Umm... A Larvitar! I, I'm going for Rock-type, so...!!"

There. She finally said it. It wasn't too clear, yes, but she finally managed to say something that could be of some use for the poor ranch assistant who had to help her out. Bowing her head down and not daring to look, the only lead Rosetta could use to tell that the guy left, turned around, was the sound of his clothes shuffling and his shoes against the floor. Even a silent sound would make enough proof, and it's not like the guy had much reason to be so secretive or cautious in his movements, right? On that regard, the girl slowly rose her head to see Toby signaling her to follow, after heading towards some door.

Looking at the back of this man made her feel a lot more at ease. She didn't have to face him, he wasn't judging her as obviously as earlier. She could feel her heart's beating rate slowing down at last, from the stress strokes she was having earlier. At least now Rose could rather calmly go with her choice. Larvitar was honestly a choice she made, and not something she just spouted out in the spur of the moment, or due to stress or what have you. She really was genuinely interested in the species, never really seeing it before. It was pretty clear why Toby was leading her outside to the ranch again, though she had to be impressed by his domination, simply whistling and getting the attention of every Pokemon around. But really, how big was this ranch anyway?

And then, something small and green made its rushed way over to Toby. Saluting at the large man. This... Was a Larvitar. A real, living Larvitar. "Wow... It's... Real!..." She said silently to herself, unable to restrain her words of amazement. This was the first time she actually saw a Pokemon so rare. Her eyes widened in wonder, only from observing his figure. It appears that the Pokemon and assistant were pretty close, as Toby went ahead to crouch and pet the small Pokemon on the head, the green lizard seemingly enjoying such attention. Was he showing off? Or... Could it be that he was going to grant her with this specific one?

She had to go with such an assumption. Just for making sure. It's not like she made the best impression in the world already, so what's more negative points if she's wrong? Besides, now that she didn't have to look the guy in the face, and had the Larvitar watching her too, Rose felt much more at ease. Wonder why. "You're... Giving away this guy?" She asked, slightly crouching to take a closer look at the little guy. "But you seem... Pretty much like you like him. Why that all of the sudden?" She asked calmly. Really, Rosetta was looking forward to receiving her first Pokemon, and first Larvitar. But if it meant taking away from someone's friends, then... That'd just leave a bad taste in her mouth.
