[COMPLETE] Here Comes Trouble

Now normally with other people Lisa wasn't very good, she just found them kind of annoying mostly. This one didn't seem too eager about her either, simply keeping it basic and handing her the list of starters she could choose from. Her partner was a different story. The shiny Ditto changed it's light blue coloring to match exactly with Lisa's hair bringing a smile to the girl's face. Taking the list politely but with eagerness she then gestured to the pokemon that rode the researcher's shoulder.

"A beautiful friend you have Dr. I've only seen shiny pokemon in books before."
Lifting a finger she waved it in front of the Ditto who eagerly followed it with it's tiny eyes. She laughed softly before looking down at the list of starters. Now this would get serious. Excusing herself from present company and sliding a pigtail over her shoulder she sat in a nearby chair beginning to read over the list. She knew so far after much research on the way here that the first gym would be a flying type gym, so any of the grass starters would be a serious disadvantage. The water types might help, but she saw a fleeting note about how the leader had an Emolga so that might put her partner in danger.

But a fire type might be too reckless, she read over the list and began running through all the possibilities and angles she could see in this choice. After a few moments she seemed to have come up with a decision. Standing up she turned back to the researcher and her shiny partner.

"After reviewing the list and thinking about the possibilities...could I please see the three Kalos pokemon?"

Her home region, she wanted to give it some sort of love on this journey. The others would probably have been just fine, but the choices of the three Kalos pokemon seemed the most fitting to her.

The researcher left to retrieve the pokemon she had asked to see, and Lisa found herself even more eager then before. Once Dr. Idina returned with the three pokeballs she was quick to release the three pokemon she had ask to met. A soft laugh escaped her as the Chespin came right up to her and began tugging softly on her jean leg. "Well hi to you too." She said with a smile as she bent down to inspect the Chespin. First things first she rolled her hands over the spines on his head which immediately flexed at the touch.

"Reflexes are very good, spines are responsive and harden on direct contact as they should in battle." Next was the Fennekin, who seemed very regal as it looked her up and down before nodding in what she could only assume was approval. Extending her hand to the fire type palm down the fox sniffed it lightly before approaching her where it was gently picked up. Lisa ran her fingers over the tufts on fur protruding from it's ears, making them glow as the Fennekin stretched with a delighted noise.

"Excellent, temperature seems to be normal, fur is soft and well kept, and the nose-" she ran her thumb lightly over the Fennekin's nose to check if the pokemon had a fever or not. "cold and wet, very healthy." Setting the fire type gently down on it's legs she turned to the last one, the very shy Froakie hiding behind the researcher. With a gentle smile she reached out her hand and spoke softly.

"It's alright, come on out." The water type looked back at her for a moment before slowly crawling on all fours toward her. Once it was within reach she very careful picked him up staying at his level to make sure she didn't frighten him. "Let's see now." She muttered as she ran a finger along it's arm gently. "Skin is dry but not cracked, could do with a nice swim to loosen him up." Next she ran her finger along the bubbles of it's neck earning a soft chuckle like noise from the Froakie. "Bubbles thick and consistent, healthy output."

Setting the Froakie beside the other three she stood back up to survey them each. After a moment she smile and nodded speaking up. "A very tough choice, but I think one of you has made a very lasting mark on me." Crouching down again she faced the Froakie and picked him up again. "While the Chespin is very friendly and the Fennekin is very impressive, the Froakie has a lot of potential. No, not Froakie, I want him to be special, my new partner deserves that."

With another moments thought she smiled softly rubbing at his head. "I think I will call you Ryker." The water type croaked softly at the feeling of being pet and being given a new name. Chespin sighed softly and Fennekin simply kept scratching at his ear as Lisa looked to the researcher. "Thank you very much for your time Doctor Franklin, once I have the rest of my things I need I promise I'll be swiftly out of your hair."
