Aiden seemed a bit disoriented at first, he wasn’t entirely used to this virtual world and took a moment to survey his surroundings before turning his attention to the pokemon professor. He listened to her say his name and looked over to Sophia as she was introduced. He gave the woman a polite nod before turning his attention back to Professor Oak right as she glitched. This caused him to sigh as he was feeling very out of place and uncomfortable, but he didn’t seem to have much time to reflect on this glitch. Sophia approaching him did little to give comfort, but he accepted her handshake confidently. “I am Aidan Santos. Nice to meet you.”<br/><br/>She continued on and Aidan listened to her story and nodded. “Sure. I don’t see any reason why we can’t work together.” He said with a calm and collected tone, but he did not seem overly friendly. If anything Aidan was a bit standoffish as he continued to collect his thoughts and size up his competition. As Oak sprang back to life he looked over the list of partners available. He seemed particularly interested in the grass types available. After a moment he picked Chikorita. Smiling down at the ball he said “ Hey,<em>Chica.</em>Nice to meet you.” Aiden would then step back and wait for the others to pick their partners.
