Now that the first group of trainers are just beginning their travels through Elovve, the lab is hosting an Induction Night before they can scatter too far away. The Town Hall of Mato Town has been appropriated for the event and those who turn up will be ushered in the main room. There’s a podium at one end with seats neatly arranged in front of it, a banner that reads out ‘Welcome trainers!’ in big red letters above and a side table full of food.
Once you’re settled into one of the seats, a short, blonde lady in a lab coat steps onto the podium and gives a little wave.
"Welcome and thank you to everyone for coming here today," she says, clapping her hands together eagerly, "and I see you've brought your Fusions with you, though we did request that, so I suppose it’s not so surprising. They’re all darling; so full of potential!"
She seems to lose her train of thought for some time as she stares adoringly at a SkittyxDeerling hybrid in the first row. "Mhm, yes, you’re here so we can all get to know each other a bit better. There will be some games, I’ll be on hand to answers any of yours questions and at the end of the night you’ll be given a travel package to help you on your way.
Oh yes and my name is Assistant Aspen, your support officer of the first leg of your journey! I look forward to getting to know you all properly!"
With the first speech done, you’re free to mingle as you like. Assistant Aspen gets down from the podium and is waiting patiently for someone to approach her.

[This RP is for trainers with approved applications AND Fusions only. Bring along your eggs and/or Pokemon and get to know some of your fellow trainers. Your trainers will probably be asked to participate in a ‘Trust Fall’ exercise. You have been warned. ;D If you have any concerns/questions please quote me in the main thread.]
The night was still young when Kain left his hotel room with a Luxury Ball on his hip and a swagger to his step. Standing outside, he looked up and inhaled deeply. The sky above his was a dusky shade of darkness, with the first stars and fireflies breaking up the constant shade. With a deep sigh and a cocky little grin he began making his way to the Induction Ceremony to which he had obviously been invited.
While he had mixed feelings about showing off his odd little pink kitten thing, Dearly herself had been oddly excited. She spent all night grooming herself. Kain even helped, putting his gloominess aside to give her a bath, brush out her fur, and even pick out a cute yellow ribbon to wear about her neck. Poor Dearly was so excited to have Kain show her off, to be proud of her, that she probably did not realize he was more than likely going to show himself off more than his Pokémon. Still, the tiny pink kitten Pokémon wiggled excitedly in her ball, eagerly awaiting her debut.
And so, Kain arrived, pushing open the double doors a bit dramatically, where he stood for a moment, the night breeze tousling his corn silk hair before making his way to the front row. He grabbed a chain, and set himself down, swinging a long leg over his other and crossed his arms. Smiling and offering a wink up to the blonde at the podium, Kain rested his chin on his fingers and waited for the night to begin.
Now that the speech was complete Fluffy looks around at the other trainers sitting scattered among the rows. They were the beginning to this brand new fusion experiment, the ones taking the first few steps on a journey no other trainer had yet had the chance to experience. He see's quite a few trainers with pink cat and deer Pokemon all similar in ways but different in so many more ways and wondered if the same parents had contributed to their genes or if they had taken samples from more then a set pair. He wanted to be excited about meeting these new trainers but was sad that he had still been unable to do any hiking, he didn't like being cooped up in this building. Petting Asrai's head he looks down at her, she seemed quite excited to be around so many new people and Pokemon. It seemed she could not keep her eyes in than one place for more than a few seconds. She was staying put though which was good, being his first Pokemon ever he did not want to seem inexperienced in front of the other trainers by having to chase her around the place. Standing up and he places Asrai next to him on the ground, pet her head again and he heads toward Assistant Aspen to ask her a few questions before he mingles. He still was unsure of a few things.

Kitta peeked around the doorjamb, as if someone dressed like a clefable wasn't conspicuous enough. Slipping her hand into her pocket she double-checked the heavy ball sitting there. There was no way, absolutely none, that he would fit in this building. She really hoped there was a balcony or patio or something so she could let him out. She couldn't help but think the skittylord was cramped in there. She was also really glad she had thought to send to her Jhoto friend for some handmade pokeballs before coming here, it had really proven useful, and she didn't think Bo would have been even remotely comfortable in a normal pokeball.
The weight of the pokeball in her hand gave her confidence. Taking a deep breath she straightened, and headed through the door with a smile on her face. No use going about this half-heartedly, she headed up and took a seat in the front row, some distance down from the handsome boy with blonde hair. She carefully didn't look at anyone, and fixed her eyes on Aspen while she spoke. Questions, there were probably some she should ask, but she was too nervous to think of them. Glancing around she debated sneaking over to the table of refreshments.
Everyone still seemed rather shy, but that was fine, as long as they all eventually came to her with their lovely Pokemon. Assistant Aspen waved back at a blond in the audience and then walked forward to meet the approaching trainer.
A quick check of her notes and yes, here he was: Magnus Vidroosa. Lovely. She put a little star next to his name on her list.
Quiet murmurs and awkward shuffling echoed loudly in the room. Seriously, crickets would have been more than welcome in this silence. Kain crossed his arms and rolled his eyes. Wallflowers, each and every one of them. Well, that made the competition easy. Scooting his slightly uncomfortable plastic chair back, the blonde stood tall, offering the assistant a cheeky grin before the teal haired boy took her attention. Meh, fine.
Shimmering green eyes scanned the room, attempting to find someone remotely interesting. AH! What was the the little prince spied, a pretty-in-pink little lady? He sauntered his way over as the tasty tidbits distracted her. Clearing his throat and gave the little lady a charming bow.
Seeing Aspen check something off as he approaches her Fluffy blushes a little and extends his hand for a hand shake. "Flu.." Halting mid word he realizes he should probably use his real name since this is his new job. Leaning a bit closer to her he whispers "My name is Magnus, but as odd as it seems, please call me fluffy" Warmly smiling he feels a little less shy, he just needed to get the first words out it seemed, Asrai even pats his leg as if giving him encouragement. Feeling more comfortable he continues not wanting to hold up all of her time, surely others had their own questions "I had a question though regarding where I am to send the information about the terrain. Is there local labs I will be sending to? Or just the primary? I may have skimmed information in my excitement."

Assistant Aspen smiled and returned the handshake, gripping Fluffy’s hand in hers in a surprisingly strong grip. She didn't let go, instead leaning forward and nodding eagerly. "Oh that’s quite alright. My notes do mention you prefer your nickname. Fluffy! That’s simply adorable."
She finally let go of his hand, scribbling another note. "As mentioned, you’ll be given a travel package, part of that is instructions on where to send your research. It all gets sent to the main lab and then distributed to the relevant people from there."
She crouched down, placing her clip board across her knees. Aspen was smiling with delight as she offered a hand to the Fusion by Fluffy’s leg. "Togekiss/Azumarill Fusion and such a gorgeous mix! It’s a pleasure to meet you."
"Oh! Hello!" Kitta quickly turned to face the one who had approached her directly, just a little startled. His light blonde hair was like sunbeams, she thought, and his eyes like growing plants. She bobbed quickly in response to his bow, not used to anyone being so formal. It didn't stick out as a bad thing though.
"I was just wondering if they had anything Bo would like..." She gestured at the table of food nearby. "I'm still not sure of his preferences...." She paused a moment thinking on this, before realizing staying quiet too long was rude. "I'm Kitta, it's lovely to meet you." Her warm smile follower the statement marking it as a genuine sentiment.
Kain grinned at both her awkward bobbing and her reply. A Pokémon's taste was, oddly enough, linked to their favored trait. Kain new, for instance, that Dearly enjoyed sweet foods and despised anything bitter, which reflected on her nature. "I see, Bo is your Pokémon, correct? What is his nature, do you know? It would give you a big hint into what it is he enjoys." He smiled knowingly, "Why, my Dearly is Naive, and thus enjoys sweets. Anyway," Kain reached out and gently took her hand, brushing his lips across the back of it ever so softly, "It is a pleasure, Kitta." He stood tall, and said proudly, "I am Kain Lee Silph, of the Silph Company of Kanto. And this," He said, brushing his long fingers over the black and gold ball on his hip, "Is Dearly the Skitterling."
Her eyes widened as he kissed her hand. What kind of prince was thi.... oh, Silph Co.....
The Silph Co? Her eyes may have widened a tad. "Ah, I'm a pokenurse, from Pewter...." It took her a moment to snap out of her surprise. She shook her head, smiling again. Park of pokenurse training was to smile and greet everyone as if they were important, and it helped her stay calm. She fished the heavy ball from her pocket and presented it before her. "Yes, this is Bo, the Skittylord. He's very happy, and enthusiastic, all the time. I suppose you would call him jolly?" She hope he didn't want to show off pokemon, Bo would not fit in here, and was definitely larger than a skitterling. She didn't know if he was the type of rich person that had to be the best and biggest.
He drank in her response, trained as she was, he always noted the surprise people showed upon hearing his name. It was delicious and intoxicating, that look, be it awe or envy, hatred or adoration. Everyone knew his name, and that was as it should be. He had connections, a handsome face, and an intelligence to match as well. There was no hesitation to Kain's reply, "A jolly nature, is it? Simple enough, I would find it hard to believe to find anything mixed with a Skitty without some happy nature. You are in luck, my dear. I think your Bo would enjoy sweets as much as my Dearly." He offered a laugh, how odd, two Pokémon completely different but entirely the same. The idea excited him. He would have a team of the most beautiful Pokémon. after all beauty was power and power was what would seat him back on his corporate throne. "I am a breeder by trade, I plan on turning the Company towards making a better future for our Pokémon and their owners by offering ways for every trainer to bring out the full potential of their Pokémon," He smiled, allowing his wonderful pitch fall upon the nurse's ears, "That includes dietary supplements specified for every nature and type. Here," He pulled out a business card from his pocket and pressed it into her tiny hand, "My card."
The genuine smile stayed on her face. He was... just a little full of himself, she thought, but certainly he must be a good guy in the end? "Why, thank you, shall we pick something out?" A breeder, She hoped her was a kind one, for the sake of his pokemon. Pokemon needed so much love and care to be properly raised. She stared at his card a moment, before tucking it away in her pocket along with Bo's pokeball. She wondered to herself about the supplements he spoke of, she would look, but she had heard better things of growing berries and cooking pokeblocks yourself, plus it sounded more fun. She continued to smile and gestured towards the table of food, offering to let him lead and pick things out.

Joan Archer remained where she was sitting after Professor Aspen gave her short speech, her gaze locked at a point past where the professor was standing previously. Her jaw had fallen open at some point as she struggled to comprehend one important bit of the professor's little speech. "What. The. H-"
A bubbly-chitter from her lap cut her off as the fusion on it began to wiggle, reaching up with its paws to push her cheeks. "Hey! Heeeey! What're you don', huh? Punk!" Joan reached down and pinched the fusion's cheeks in return, going so far as to stick her tongue out at the pokemon before scooping him up in her arms and rising.
Joan made a beeline for Professor Aspen and Fluffy, her arms tightening around the smaller fusion in her arms. "Hey! Wait, wait. What did you mean by travel package? You're not expecting us to go somewhere, are you?!" Joan interrupted, shifting her own pokemon in her arms so that she could wave with one hand as if to flag the professor down (nevermind that they were simply off to one side).
"They're not seriously expecting us to travel, are they?" Joan asked, direction the question towards Fluffy.
With a giant grin on her face Asrai, excited by the sudden attention, floats up a little to meet the assistants hand and lets a sound of delight out. This prompts Fluffy to chuckles a little "She sure is social hu? Nerves of steal it seems." Crouching down also and petting Asrai's head and continues looking at Aspen. "Thank you for answering my question I feel a lot more assured. I don't feel so bad for skimping that info now."
Standing up Fluffy looks around to make sure he isn't holding up all of her attention on anyone else who might have their own questions. He sees two off to the side getting along just fine and noted the he adored how pink her entire wardrobe was! Next to here was a handsome blind man as well who looked quite dapper. In his peripheral view he sees movement but hears her voice before he sees her.
Having turned a little more to see who was addressing him more he sees a young woman with vibrant green hair with lovely chocolate brown eyes. In her arms was a very cute blue and magenta Pokemon. After hearing the question addressed to him, the though of getting to climb again gets him hyper and excited (It seems Asrai and Fluffy can easily be excited about certain things lol). Placing his hands on his cheeks he says gleefully "You mean get too!" If this were a manga little hearts would be fluttering around him now. Thinking though about more than just climbing now he adds "Though I suppose it would really depend on what your position on the island is? I am her to map and document the terrain including the plant life as well, so constant travel comes with my job." Extending his hand to her he sheepishly says. "My apologies, in my excitement I did not introduce myself. Please call me Fluffy."
