*Professors are truly complex, it's an occupation that requires a lot of studying and researching, days staying up late and spending all night long writing reports.* "So, are you studying to be a professor, as well?" *Judging from assisting Elm with his research and the mention of reports, odds are he was. But you can never be too sure, you know. Perhaps, it was an one time off thing he did.*

_Ethan chuckles and shakes his head._ "Helping Professor Elm is more of a side gig, Y'know? What I want to become is a Pokémon Master and Champion of Johto! But I'm still a long way from getting to the level of strength I need! Which is why I took up research! I realized that by studying other Pokémon, it can help me come up with new strategies and learn more about my own Pokémon in the process!" _Ethan said excited._ "One day when I'm strong enough I'll challenge the Pokémon League and take it by storm! But until then, I'm happy researching and studying Pokémon!" _Ethan said, still not done with his rambling._ "So, nah. I'm not going for Professor. Maybe when I'm older I'll take over for Professor E., but until then, my sight is set on champion of Johto!"

*Guess she shouldn't have jumped to conclusions after all. Like any other kid, Ethan wanted to become a strong trainer! Selene would just scratch her head though, she didn't know what a Pokemon master was. Did he mean Pokémon Champion? She had never heard anyone see that. And then, how to even become one. It sounded like a cool title, one every Trainer would be proud of. She'd be interested in finding out what a Pokemon Master was. Maybe she could become one as well, one day.*"Uhm, so, what's a Pokémon Master? Do you mean like champion of Johto?"
