She felt incredibly lucky to have such a diverse group stroll in when she had received her pokédexes. And that there had been exactly five had been such incredible luck! As the one trainer began snapping off pictures (were they a boy or a girl? Should she ask? Nah, what kind of pokémon professor would ask a trainer what their gender was? That would be ridiculous) the blonde male trainer began with asking questions.<strong>"Why yes there are. Like I said pokémon of every region have been discovered here, including those with similar mutations to the Alola region."</strong>she said as Nao chimed in about Alolan form pokémon.<strong>"There is still much to be learned about Arcaia, and that is why I am enlisting you to aid in my research. There is nearly every kind of environment imaginable here in Arcaia, so who knows, there may be some unique mutations here as well."</strong><br/><br/>The professor was so glad these trainers seemed so eager to learn more about this land. Well maybe they weren't all trainers after all. As the short blonde woman spoke up about being a researcher Professor Pine's smile widened.<strong>"A fellow researcher you say? That is fantastic!"</strong>she exclaimed. She quickly hopped over in front of Althea and threw her arms around her in an embrace.<strong>"I'd love to have you under me! I can always use more assistants!"</strong>Being her usual over the top and cheery self the taller researcher lifted Althea off the ground and spun her around giddily before placing her back down and stepping back, reminding herself to stay at least a little professional.<strong>"And you already have field experience to boot huh? Then I have a proposition for you. You could travel around with these trainers and conduct your own field reports and research along side them. The routes around to all eight gyms take you across the entire region so you could put that pokédex to good use. And in your case to get set up here you'll need to head to Pokkén Tower as well. There you can get set up and register as a field researcher in case you need clearance for certain areas or need specialized equipment. In fact..."</strong>Pine began tapping on her chin in thought for a moment before returning an eager grin to her new colleague.<strong>"I have just the right first assignment for you. Two artifacts of great importance were recently unearthed near Mt. Deus. They are of great importance to my research and I needed to go pick them up. After the opening ceremonies could you all pick them up and bring them back here to me?"</strong>As she said this last part Pine looked at all of the people before her.<strong>"I would very much appreciate it, and transporting them as a group would be safer than just one person carrying them."</strong><br/><br/>After giving the group their first official task of their new adventure Pine smiled as Nao recommended a group photo.<strong>"What a splendid idea!"</strong>she said. Following the boy over to the bare wall her pokémon followed, all hopping up on her head, shoulders, arms and back to be in the picture. The young professor smiled as broad as she could for what was sure to be a cherished photo. The world's newest pokémon professor and her pokédex holders. An important moment to chronicle indeed.
