As the professor began to explain the peculiarities of the strange new, or perhaps 'old', region Nao turned and stared with rapt attention. It was amazing to think they could discover literally any kind of pokemon here, and the legend of Arceus really stoked his yearning for adventure. It made him wonder if this region had it's own legendary pokemon unique only here, how amazing would it be to catch a glimpse of such a thing, or even a picture...<br/><br/>Wait, pictures...that's right! Nao suddenly leapt up to his feet, grasping the camera hanging around his neck, he was supposed to be on the job, getting all sorts of pics of the region. No doubt getting a photo spread of the blossoming pokemon professor's lab would be a worthwhile addition to the collection! As such Nao quickly began snapping off shots of Pine and her pokemon as she gave her speeches, making sure to capture her dynamic poses and her dignified, confident smiles. What a photogenic woman. Then he quickly took some shots of the various equipment around the lab, perhaps wondering if they could spin the low budget look into having a...er..."rustic" charm. He also got a few candid shots of the other trainers present, especially as they received their badge cases and pokedexes, and of course when he received his own he made sure to get plenty of close up shots of them. After all if these were rare items that guy would probably pay for shots of them being used.<br/><br/>"wow, this is so cool. Thank you so much la madame, I'll do my best to be worthy of such a gift" he said with a bow of his head, before snapping off a selfie of him and his registered pokedex. Catching what Carter was doing with his own Nao quickly sent out Snowball and Pagliacci and scanned them into his pokedex, and then hurriedly made his rounds around the room scanning every pokemon present, as well as snapping a photo of them as well. It was tough work, and the boy briefly wondered if he'd be able to keep up with all these devices he'd be hauling around.<br/><br/>When Carter asked about pokemon from Alola being around it seemed to pique a curiosity of Nao's as well, the boy quickly skipping back to his side, "that's right, back in Alola they used to say that certain pokemon grew up completely different than other regions because of the climate, they would even have different types" he said, scooping up Snowball into his arms to demonstrate his point, the ice typing of the Vulpix having seemingly been exclusive to the Alolan Islands, "would we be able to find the same mutations here? Could there even be different variations we haven't even seen before?" he questioned, wondering if there were special "Arcaia forms" of pokemon similar to his homeland. Nao was briefly distracted from his questions when he suddenly felt Carter reach down to grab his hand, the boy looking confused for only a brief second before a warm smile spread across his face, "Hey, I was thinking" he said, now addressing the whole group, "we may not all be here for the same reasons, and it's possible we won't be seeing each other throughout the same journey all the time...but arriving here at the same time...it kinda links us together in a way, right? Even just a little. So I was thinking why don't we take a picture together to commemorate it?" he said, nodding to Pagliacci who again levitated the boy's camera with his psychic powers, "That way when all is said and done we can come back together and see how much we've all grown from this moment. What do you say?" he asked, hooking an arm around Carter's shoulders and dragging him over to one of the barer walls of the lab, motioning for the others and their pokemon to huddle into the photo as well.
