Hino was just knocking on the door to the lab when she saw her
brother Khale coming. "Oh, hi, Khale." She said in a neutral voice
as she turned back to face the door. "I didn't know that you were
coming here. I thought you went ahead to the next gym."
"I already beat the second gym." Khale said. But I saw something
weird when I was in the town with the Pokémon, and a Pokémon
professor is the best person to ask, right?" It was surprising to
see Khale without his boastful attitude.
"I think Darkrai has set up some sort of team with the psychic
Pokemon. He could' even gained inspiration from Team Rocket." Laura
said, as she was listening this through the window, and enters the
lab with a Kangaskhan.
The kangaskhan had a burn on her pouch, and her child was standing
near Laura, afraid of the people around.
"Professor, this Kangaskhan was burnt by an aggressive Rapidash,
and her baby can't get in due to the burn. Could you help it?'
"Hm... maybe they aren't here." Hino said to herself. She turned to
leave, but Khale just opened the door and stepped in. "Hey, what
are you doing entering a house without permission?" Hino asked
shocked, but Khale just glared at her and said, "Well, maybe the
professor is just too busy to answer the door. I'm sure they won't
mind if we just go in and ask a few questions. It won't take much
of their time."
Hino decided to follow to make sure that Khale wasn't rude and
didn't get thrown out.
Kangaskhan looks at Khale, as she was standing directly in front of
the door. She begins to examine if Khale was a threat to her child,
who was playing nearby.
"Who're you?" Victor asks Khale, as he thought that Khale could be
a brainwashed person, come to attack them.
(I think the lab doesn't count as Elm's house, considering in the
original games he had it where Lyra's house is in HG/SS and it was
moved in the remakes to next to the lab. So I think you're allowed
to enter the lab without permission.)
Tiger looked over, and saw Khale. He then noticed the Kangaskhan
and went over. "Mind if I examine her" he asked Khale kindly. "Elm
is a bit busy with two trainers in the back now" he explained
quickly.
"Oh, the Kangaskhan isn't mine." he said when he saw the person
come up to him. He stared back at the Kangaskhan that was
inspecting him like a threat. "Anyways, I came here to ask about
something I saw earlier today. I was treating my Luxray, and then
some trainer and his Pokemon attacked me. Then I saw some news that
it was happening in other places, so I wanted to know what was
going on. By the way, I'm Khale."
"I'm Tiger" Tiger introduced himself briefly, and looked at
Kangaskahn's pouch. He then used a burn heal on the burn, and
handed the Pokemon a Rawst Berry. "That should help" he said kindly
before turning to Khale once more "well there have been events of
trainers being hypnotized and attacking at random, and we have some
suspicion Darkrai is behind this, but we aren't one hundred percent
sure yet" he said softly as he thought.
Kangaskhan looks happy, and puts the baby back in the pouch. Laura
looks at the Pokemon. "Can we possibly keep her in the lab? As many
people are brainwashed, they may capture, and mistreat the poor
thing." She says. Kangaskhan approves of the suggestion. "By the
way, I'm Laura." She says to Khale.
"Ah, hi, Victor. Hey Laura. Nice to meet you. Are you from around
this place?" Khale asks, "I'm here from Sinnoh trying to collect
all the gym badges." He was wondering where his sister was. He was
sure that she followed him inside, but once he got inside it was
like she disappeared. He decided that maybe Hino hadn't followed
him after all and left.
"I'm from Kalos, but we just moved here after I picked my starter
Pokemon. I'd like to clear the Johto League, and meet lots of new
Pokemon. I think Johto is a lot different from Kalos. In Kalos,
everyone is hyped about Megas..." Laura says, as her Fennekin
jumped around. The baby Kangaskhan jumps around a bit on the word
'Megas'.
"I'm from Kanto, and I've travelled most regions, except Unova. I
want to be a full-fledged fire type specialist." Victor says.
"Cool." Khale said. "I'm from Sinnoh, and my dream is to beat my
sister in this contest we're having to collect all eight badges
before each other. I HAVE to win, but then my Pokémon were attacked
by some random strangers. I think it's all okay now, though. Did
you guys have any problems here too? You seem to know so much. I
don't have a mega-Pokémon, though I want one."
Tiger sighed "well Johto has had a ton of people being mind
controlled" he repeated slightly annoyed. Does anyone listen to
the news... he thought to himself with a sigh.
Tiger nodded in agreement, and looked at cyndaquil. "We can split
up and see if any of the other towns have info on who might be
causing this" he suggested.
Victor sends out Flare. "Blaze. Return. I'll send you our later,
when we need you." He says kindly to the volcano Pokemon, who
consents to go inside his ball.
