Still, no one seemed entirely offended and that was the important part. The greetings and interactions could continue on a brighter note. From the sound of things, accidents happened here often, earning a somewhat nervous chuckle from the male as the Aipom grinned in amusement. Part of her trainer wondered just how many people came here to register on a daily basis... Or maybe being accident-prone was part of this lab's charm, to show that not every place was some super high technology center, and that mistakes could not just be made, but also learned from... Or maybe he was just reading too far into things.<br/><br/>Having a Pokemon from nearly every region was unusual enough, but the fact they were all caught in the<em>same</em>region of Arcaia, that was where the surprise came from. What was so unusual and distinct about this place that species from all over the world wanted to live here? A trip on a boat was nowhere near enough time for Graham to ponder this... Only an adventure would be enough to solve that mystery. However, there was also the reports of rampaging Pokemon that he had to look into as well, and asking upfront about them would probably just spook the other trainers. Maybe if he could wait for there to be a smaller crowd... Besides, they seemed happy enough to listen to Professor Pine go into a happy explanation of how so many diverse Pokemon could exist in the ecosystems they did with minimal difficulty. The explanation that Arceus was what shaped the region... Well, it didn't seem farfetched, especially given the region seemed to hold some sort-of name reference to it. Before she could continue, however, she remembered they were there for the league registration. Her amusement and boundless energy were almost infectious, but Graham remained quiet as he looked at the box placed before them. Some sort-of device to hold the badges they would be getting? More importantly, it seemed they were among the last to show up before league registration, and were eligible to get Pokedexes!<br/><br/><em>'Definitely going to help while i'm investigating Arcaia... Hm, maybe I can use this to secure a direct line of information. Wonder if I can get news feeds on this...'</em>He hummed, keeping his thoughts to himself as he looked the Pokedex over. Per the instructions given to them by the Professor, he jotted his name and that of his Pokemon down in the device, his Aipom striking a pose before doing so. "Does it even keep the pose? You're just being a showoff now." He chuckled, having the Aipom stick her tongue out at him while Snivy simply coiled up his leg and over to his arm as much as he could, pulling himself up to rest on his other shoulder. He had everything he needed, and all he had to do was be on his way now... Though found himself distracted when Nao suggested a group photo. He was skeptical at first, but... Well, there wouldn't be many chances for these, so may as well take it now, right? He shuffled to the back of the group, uttering an awkward "Combee?" before the picture was taken. He reached up to pull the hoodie over his eyes for a moment, sighing at his reluctance, before it was time for the group to part. Nao and Carter seemed to have their own ventures planned, and he had an investigation to conduct... Turning, he moved to exit the lab alo-<br/><br/>"Huh?" He felt a small tug at his arm, before a loud squeal of 'let's go' rang out as Daniel darted out, dragging not just Althea but him as well! He nearly stumbled, awkwardly trying to get his footing before he finally found a pace to match hers. "Ah, hey, where's the fire!? H-hold up, let me get a chance here!" He complained, Aipom and Snivy hanging onto the boy (the former giggling the whole way) before the ride finally let up. Daniel stopped, allowing him to breath a sigh of relief, before he stood upright and looked around... Some sort-of ceremony taking place? Maybe he should have paid attention to the discussions in the lab more. All he remembered was that Sleeping Beauty was supposed to get a pair of keys, one light and one dark. Where'd the ceremony fit in? "Well, so much for a private investigation... Huh? Cotton Candy? Do we really have time for-" He started to ask, but Daniel had already moved off. "Oh, I get it, i'm the third wheel that's just there and interacted with as needed. I see how this works." He sighed with an amused shrug before Daniel returned with snacks for her and her Pokemon. Even Althea seemed to be interested in enjoying the treat.<br/><br/><em>'Remember, Graham, they're just people on an adventure, don't go ruining their fun.'</em>he had to remind himself. Plus if he needed to, he could always contact Professor Pine for the information he needed. "So fill me in here. We're getting some keys for the professor? That doesn't sound particularly hard, uneventful even. I guess we can spare a few minutes and take in the sights. I don't usually get a chance to stop and enjoy the views." He remarked, before looking at the other two. "I know we're together right now and all, but should we exchange numbers just incase? You know, for communication purposes and all."
