Aiden would take a good look at his Chikorita, note the stats, and see that his new pokemon was female. He would offer a wide, crooked smirk. “I was going to name you Chica anyways.” He says as he  shrinks the pokeball down and puts it in his pocket. He would note that half of the  players left immediately while the other half remained. Each one of them was technically a rival even though they were not named as such. There was not enough space in the shuttle for all of them so getting attached to any one would be risky.<br/><br/>He would stare at Professor Oak a moment as she repeated the same and then shake his head. He couldn’t really afford to waste anymore time. He turned and walked over to the lobby. There he saw one of the other players speaking to the receptionist. That wasn’t a bad idea. NPCs sometimes give players things. Aiden immediately made his way to the PokeDex lab. There he spoke to each of the 3 developers. “Is there anything here I can use for my journey? Do you have any advice.” He was very direct with his questioning. His intention would be to circle back to the receptionist and the townie when he had the chance.
