The Custom made luxury ball opened, releasing a distinct red light that took form before Jan! When the light faded the figure of a young man stood before her. He wore a midnight black cloak that covered most of his form, all the way down to a pair of firmly fitting hiking boots of matching color. His mess of short curls atop his head was of a matching color, which only made his slightly pale and freckle peppered features stand out all the more. A pair of brilliant golden eyes blinked a few times as if adjusting to the sudden exposure of light, causing him to lift up a cloaked arm and reveal a hand to block the lights briefly.<br/>His hand was covered in a thin leather gauntlet that left his clawed fingers exposed, though a thin sheet of black metal on his forearm gave some degree of protection. However, the movement to shield his sensitive eyes exposed an underside to his cloak, where soft feathers lined the inside of the cloak all along his arms in a manner reminiscent of Harpies from legends of long ago.<br/>Were his differences between a normal Rowlett and a shiny not clear enough by his brief entry, a single feather fell from his much too long sleeves. The outside of the feather matched his cloak and hair, but the softer plumage and underside had vibrant patterns reminiscent of a forest caught in the throes of autumn.<br/>These festive colors matched some of the under attire hidden behind the large black cloak he wore, that was fastened in place by a set of bow ties.<br/><br/>"That is a varient." Professor Hemlock explained with a motion of his hand towards the black rowlett, who sneezed and covered his head with his hood before turning and looking the Jan curiously with his golden eyes. "Effectively they are pokemon with different colors than what is concidered "Main stream" in pokemon...A famous example of this is Mythril's silver gallade...and this black rowlett." nodding he turned to look to Nocturnus who was studying the pokemon intently. "So...what your saying is there are more of these on that island you found near Johto?"<br/>The professor nodded and slipped his hands into his pocket. "Indeed. It has quite a few rare and strong pokemon as well...I saw no indication that any human before myself stepped foot there. That being said I did not venture far, as I did not know what I might find..but managed to catch four pokemon during my time there... Two of which I plan to give to my assistants for research purposes, and the other two to you as insurance for your funding and support."<br/><br/>Nocturnus raised an eyebrow at the professors words and glanced down at the rowlett, who was busy studying Jan from the shadows of his hoodie. "...You will need no insurance." The guardian stated before looking back to the professor. "Give the two pokemon you were going to give to me to these two...Ive already got a team im rather fond of and do not desire to raise any of these...oddities you may find. At least not till more research on them is done." Raising a hand and waving to the professor he spoke again. "You will have your funds, professor...but I am not a patient man. Take your new apprentices and what you need to that island tomorrow, and make sure they are all well enough equipped for the journey."<br/>With that Nocturnus snapped his fingers and vanished! clearly using a teleport skill to leave.
