Kari arrived late to the lab. Her journey from Hoenn had taken several days. She walked most of the way, hopping on trains when it was convenient. She tried to take her time and enjoy the journey, making sure to stop for herb and yoga breaks, but she was so excited to get her very own pokemon! She knew the adventure would get more fun after that, traveling by herself was getting lonely. Her last boat got delayed today, putting her over an hour later than she was supposed to be.<br/><br/>Off ahead she saw some commotion going on, it looked like a girl was chasing down some kids. There were plenty of people around, and Kari was worried about not getting her pokemon, so she ignored it for now and ran to the lab.<br/><br/>She pushed open the door, out of breath. "Professor... I'm so sorry I'm late. My name is Kari... could I still pick out a pokemon?" She was overjoyed when the professor offered her not one, but<i>two </i>pokemon. She wasn't even bothered by the fact that she got last pick.<br/><br/>She knew that she wanted at least one grass pokemon, so she went up and chose Chespin right away. She looked around at the remaining choices and picked Squirtle. She was overjoyed to finally get pokemon of her own, and could barely contain her excitement as the Professor gets her the pokedex app and explains the mysterious digimon world.<br/><br/>Before Kari leaves, the professor tells her that a group of new trainers just left and that Kari should be able to catch up with them. Kari thanks the professor and runs out the door. She lets Chespin out of its pokeball and picks it up as she runs out to find another trainer, hoping to join a group of friends to travel with
