"MOM!" Tamira threw her hands up in the air, clearly exasperated. "I'll be fineeeee! Honest!" Her mother bit her lip and drew back, while the father attempting to bargain with his daughter. "I know we said you could do this, but you know, you could always change your mind..." "ARGH! Dad, I KNOW I want to do this! Maybe even more than I wanted that purse you bought me on my 14th birthday!" Tamira sighed before giving her parents her trademark puppy eyes and catty smile. "Seriously. I'll be ok. I'm YOUR daughter, after all!" Both parents smiled at that, and with tears in their eyes, watched their child walk off towards the lab, resisting the urge to call her back with all their might. Tamira arrived at the lab after a short jog. Excited and impatient, she knocked on the door AND rang the doorbell, not caring if she was being annoying, as usual.

He blinked, looking at the girl in front of him in surprise. It took him a moment to remember what he was doing. Or where he was. It was far too early in the morning to think clearly.
He scratched the back of his neck and opened the door wider, giving the girl a polite smile as he gestured for her to come in.
"Um- here to get a pokemon, yeah?" he asked, leaving the door open as he walked towards the machine at the end of the room. He sat backwards on a spinning office chair, and smiled at Tamira before lifting his arms out, bringing attention to the gigantic machine behind him.
"This is the place to be! So, let me guess- have you already decided what type you want?" he asked curiously, watching her. He had his money on fire, but people could be unpredictable sometimes. Half the fun of working here was seeing what type someone would choose.

"Hmm..." Tamira cocked her head to the side cutely before grinning like a cheshire cat. "Well, if you're talking about my type of GUY, you might have a chance, cutie." She winked at him before continuing, "As for pokemon, I think I'd like ground."

He hardly registered what she'd said, but he knew it was flattering, and he could feel the blood rush to his face. A girl was flirting with him? And it was- so, so obvious. She had guts. Unlike him.
"Uh- haha," he laughed nervously, spinning around in the chair absently and smiling like a fool. "Thanks. Oh, ground?"
He turned around, willing his face to stop blushing as he punched in the letters into the computer. He cooled down as the machine whirred away, fans starting up and blowing cold air in his face. That was the stuff.
Four pokeballs dropped down into their respective spots, and Luke grabbed three of them, tossing them out into the room one by one.
The first was quite big. Luke staggered as it landed on the floor, shaking the room. It wasn't often that a level 5 pokemon was that big, but the Rhyhorn was clearly interested in Tamira, and moved over to her, nudging it's rocky face at her hand as if it was a puppy. The second pokemon, a Sandshrew, sat in place obediently, keeping a wary eye on the much larger Rhyorn. The last, a Trapinch, blinked its small eyes at Tamira and sat quietly next to the Sandshrew.
"So, you can choose from one of these, or you can choose this one, the mystery ball," Luke explained, holding up the last ball. "If you choose the mystery ball, though, you can't go back on your decision. So, um, which one will it be?" he asked, leaning back on the spinning chair and nearly falling over as it began turning.

Tamira giggled at Luke's awkwardness; he really was cute. He kind of reminded her of a spinda with all the turning he was doing in the spinning chair. Heck, he even had blushes akin the the red spots on a spinda! Tamira train of spinda and luke related thoughts was interrupted by the nudging of the Rhyhorn, who clearly wanted to be petted. "Awww, he's so cute!" She squealed and was more than happy to oblige the big pokemon his petting, despite his rocky texture. As tempting as the thought of a fully evolved Flygon was, she decided she couldn't quite resist this Rhyhorn. She was about to answer when Luke nearly fell over in his chair, and she quickly rushed to his side. "Are you ok?! You didn't get hurt, did you?" She looked over the chair and made a mental note to herself to ask her parents to buy him a new one. A spinny one; hopefully a safer one, though. "Um, anyways, I'd like to go with Rhyhorn, but do you think I could see what the mystery ball was? If I don't, it'll keep me up at night, wondering!"

"Yeah, no. I'm fine, thank though, haha." If only he could tell her how often he tripped, fell over, dropped things... It was a wonder he hadn't destroyed anything in the lab by now. He picked up the pokeballs that had fallen when he'd nearly fallen, and returned the three pokemon. He sent the Sandshrew and the Trapinch into the machine, and then glanced over his shoulder at Tamira before he let the mystery ball disappear.
"Well, sure," he said, happy to oblige. He pressed the center button on the ball, and in a flash of red light, a small spinning pokemon appeared. "It's a Baltoy," he said, returning it after a moment. It wouldn't take long for that little thing to go haywire in the room and start tearing the machine apart. "They're pretty cool, but I think the Rhyhorn was a good choice," he said after a moment, sending the Baltoy's pokeball up the tubes of the machine.
He grabbed a backpack from the back of the room and went back towards Tamira, holding out the pack, and the pokeball containing her Rhyhorn.
"Here. Everything you need."

"Woah, thanks Luke!" Tamira exclaimed before giddily hugging her Rhyhorn, ignoring the fact that his rock body made it a rather painful gesture. "I think I'll call you...Granite. Do you like that name?" Granite let out a satisfied grunt and affectionately rubbed his head into Tamira's hand. "Good!" Tamira said, smiling. "Thanks for the help again, Luke! Hopefully we'll meet up down the road." She winked and pecked Luke on the cheek before rushing out the door, excited to begin her adventure.
