*He was sitting quietly in the corner of the Cafe, sipping on a Latte with a beautiful cold foam Chansey art on it.* 

"Chansey do you think that if a pokemon such as Umbreon who sweats poison when battling would be affected by a poison inducing move or if it would denhance the affect?" 

*They looked at the perky pink pokemon who just thought for a moment before shaking its head. As soon as Toren was going to answer a gust off wind blew his disconnected note papers off the table. Since he was in a more secluded and quiet area maybe no one will have noticed. They get up to pick up the papers scowling a bit still thinking about his previous hypothesis and how to figure it out.* 

"If I knew someone with a Crogunk and an Umbreon then maybe I could inspect their battle..." 

*He quickly gave up on that idea though as the thought of talking to people especially finding one's with those specific pokemon seemed horrifying and absolutely scary to him*
Crystal
*Meanwhile, close by where Toren sat, a man with a lab coat, a green plaid shirt, and short green hair was passing by to find a seat to relax on while holding a cup of cold brew coffee. Following him was a peculiar-looking Pokemon that resembled a lion with the colors of a porygon just waddling behind.*

*Just as he found a vacant seat, a couple of small notes flew past him, seemingly caused by the wind. He slowly crouched down on the floor, picking up the notes while making sure not to spill any of his coffee. Right after picking up the notes, he looked around to see someone else also picking some notes off the floor.*

"Are these yours by any chance?" *Paulo spoke towards Toren, showing the notes that he picked up off the floor.*
Pauline
*He scrambled backwards a bit in shock. His hair was messy as well as his orange monocle was crooked* 

"I'm sorry if I disturbed you or caused a mess I really am I didn't mean to drop the papers it was the wind and I was really distracted and-" 

*They were cut off by Chansey patting their back letting out an exasperated sigh while holding a few papers*
Harold
It's all good bro. I'll respond in a few minutes.
Crystal
"Oh ,no no no... It's fine, you didn't do anything wrong, amigo." *Paulo said, trying to reassure him while giving back the papers. But while doing so, Paulo glances at his Chansey at his notes, wondering if he is a researcher of sorts, and decides to speak up.*

"So what's with those papers you're holding? Are you researching something or a scientist, perchance?"

 *He asked, looking at Toren curiously.*
Pauline
*He picks his head up and nods at the other man.* 

"Yes sir, I am a pokemon researcher researching pokemon battles currently."

*He takes another breath and a pat on the back from his Chansey to hopefully pull it together.* 

"I um came from Fula City in Johto, I was invited here so I decided to switch my focus on observing and studying battles." 

*He sat on the floor a bit nervously, his voice was shaky throughout the whole interaction. He was an absolute mess when it came to public interraction.*
Harold
A bit busy rn due to a presentation and a report I'm making, but I'll respond soon
Crystal
*His eyes widen at the mention of him being a Pokemon researcher and hailing from the Johto region, the place where his grandparents were from. He was quite surprised to meet a fellow researcher on the island, but it also made Paulo quite interested, specifically in Toren's research about Pokemon battling. However, seeing that the researcher seemed kind of anxious during their conversation, he spoke up using a modest tone, not trying to make the man more nervous.*
"Well, it's very nice to meet another researcher on the island." *He says, extending his hand and gesturing for a handshake with Toren.* "I'm Paulo, if you were wondering , a prof in biology and a proud botanist." *He smiled before continuing to speak once more.* "So you're from Johto, eh? What's it like there?" *Paulo said, wanting to break the ice between them.*
Pauline
*He hesitantly shook the other man's hand gently before attempting to compose himself.* 

"W-well it's very windy in thr Johto region more specifically Fula City in which we have the Wind Festival to honor Lugia and the winds for the cities prosper." 

*He began to seem a bit more calm as he rambled on about his origin city.* 

"We have many games such as the pokemon catch race it's quite the big event."
Crystal
*He listens attentively to Toren's description of the Johto region while mentally taking some notes from the information being said.*
"It's fascinating how the wind can be integral to your home city. "*He said positively before pausing when realizing that he and the researcher hadn't introduced themselves.*
Oh, Carnivines... Where are my manners? I forgot to introduce myself.
"I am Professor Moringa from the Turunia Region." *As he was about to continue, a particular Pokemon resembling a Porygon was peeking behind him and making a meek digital-sounding noise.*
"....And this ball-shaped friend is my partner, Bert." *He says, totally unprepared at Bert's sudden appearance.*
Harold
I have returned 
PS : btw, Bert is an beta form Porygon2
Pauline
"I don't think I've ever seen a pokemon like that. Then again should be expected here." 

*He inspects the pokemon while adjusting his eye glass seemingly distracted before bolting upright again.* 

"Ah yes I'm so sorry for not introducing myself either, I'm Toren and this is my partner Chancey." 

*Chancey smiles carrying a buttload of papers in its tiny arms happy nevertheless.*
Crystal
"Well, it's nice to meet you, Toren." *He smiles at him and looks at the cheerful-looking Chansey.* 
"It's also nice to meet you, Chansey, and it seems that you have a really healthy egg as well." *He says positively, relaxing his stance and taking a sip of his coffee.*
"By the way, if you don't mind me asking what with these notes?" *He looks at the disorganized pile of paper at Toren's table and in the chansey's arms.*
Pauline
"Oh um it's just battle scenarios. I'm not very experienced in the field of battle and I'm trying to write down some hypotheses for specific scenarios that would happen in a battle and what the possible out come would be." 

*He shifted nervously while Chancey just beamed and stood by Toren.* 

"The only problem is I don't have anyone to actually conduct said hypotheses and I would not want to be a bother." 

*He shook his head before sighing.*
Crystal
"Huh, battle research. I haven't heard about those in a while, but yeah, without a human participant, you would be stuck with a pickle..." 
*He ponders for a moment, scratching his chin while taking a seat right in front of Toren.*
"...Well, depending on the intensity or the type of battle, I could offer some assistance if you want." *He says to the shy researcher before taking another sip of his cold brew coffee.*
Harold
Oh can just do that by

Putting a x mark reaction on it
Pauline
"I'd just need a pokemon that had a move to apply a poison status, and an umbreon that when agitated starts to spray poison. I want to see if the status will still be applies due to already traces of poison on the body." 

*He says this quietly while looking back over his notes.*
Crystal
"Well, I have an exeggutor on my team thats knows sludge bombs if that helps." *Paulo said calmly while looking over the notes on the table.* 
"However, the problema left in this situation is the Umbreon, though since it is popular among trainers, I'm sure we would bump into one." *He says before taking out a notebook from his labcoat pocket and starting to list down a few hypotheses.*
Pauline
"Ah I really wouldn't want to bother you, or anyone really it's fine I'll figure it out." 

*He shakes his head while clutching his papers close to his body. Chansey was also shaking its head but for a different reason.* 

"Thank you though for helping me pick up these papers."
Crystal
"No worries, friend, I just wanted to help out a fellow comrade of science, you know. But if you need any assistance, I'm open to helping you out." *He offered with a smile.*
"Also, do you mind if I sit here with you for now? It seems that the other tables are occupied for the moment." *He glances at the other tables while sipping his coffee, with many of them having people and various Pokemon occupying them.*
