[attr="class","spiral"]Being this far inland, and out in the boonies at that, is not a position Plank would find herself in willingly most days. Being a few days travel from her boat . . . it makes her uncomfortable. Anxious. A bit like a cornered pokemon, even if she's anything but in the moment.

But, if anything is going to get Plank to expose herself to that discomfort it's this: a promise of free goods. A poster when she was restocking in Petalburg set her on the path down to Littleroot. A professor promising a free pokemon to "new trainers".

Now Plank isn't exactly a new trainer. In fact, calling her "new" in any other setting would probably piss her off more than anything! That doesn't mean she shouldn't help herself here, though, does it? Why should some snot-nosed, know-nothing brat get to help themselves to a free pokemon while she -- a seasoned and proven trainer -- has to scrounge through the weeds and wade through the waters for every catch?

No, she's decided she'll take the poster up on its offer. Fib a bit about her experience and skills and walk away a pokemon richer. Pop would be proud.

"Hey, anyone home!?" she shouts, pounding her knuckles against to the door of what the fliers said was the lab, "I'm here about this poster you've been plasterin' all over!"

It’s not hard to wonder why anyone would actually choose to set up a laboratory out in the country and away from proper civilization, but considering its quaint peacefulness, it’s the perfect location for Hendrix to conduct his engineering experiments. While the noise has driven some of the townsfolk mad, he’s limited his schedule to appropriate hours throughout the day.

His enthusiasm for helping others extending beyond his work as the Pokken Rider – Hendrix has recently reached out beyond his scope of engineering in an interest in fostering young would-be trainers in their own Pokemon journey.

Thus far, no one has actually taken him up on his offer - despite potentially getting a free pokemon.

And while the peace and quiet has allowed him more time in further developing his suit, he can't help but feel slightly disappointed. He can't help but wonder if the location is too much of a hassle for people to travel over to, but it's not like he's expecting some young child to approach without proper supervision from their guardians.

His ears slightly twerks at the sound of a young yet vaguely familiar voice. He pushes against his desk, causing his chair to slide out into the open as he slightly swivels in a circle. "Come in, come in!" he invites warmly with a smile. Wearing a lab coat over a navy turtleneck and jeans, Hendrix looks the part of a professor - a stark contrast to the leather jacket and shirt he wore the last time the ginger had meat him.

[attr="class","spiral"]Unlike a certain other meeting with a certain other man, Plank waits for permission before barging in through the door she's knocked on. There's no need to put up a strong front here; and really if she's going to con the man out of his pokemon being polite is probably important.

The moment she's in the lab her eyes are scanning the space. Windows, corners, the door behind her and any other doors. She looks around not curiously but anxiously. Like she has to know the lay of the land before she can turn her attention back to the man in front of her. The professor.

Just looking at him she can feel the dull, petty irritation from a few days ago bubble back up.

Oh, it's this guy.

On second thought maybe this was a dumb idea. The guy was already treating her like some kid out on the water. Now she not only has to put up with it again, but lean into it? It's almost not worth it. Almost.

Free pokemon. She has to remind herself.

"Hey, so I saw this thing," she speaks plainly before digging into the pocket of her basketball shorts and pulling out a crumpled up wad of parchment, "Said somethin' about 'pokemon and guidance' for new trainers or whatever."

As she continues to speak she attempts to open up and smooth out the abused poster. It takes some doing, and a lot of crinkling sounds, but she eventually manages.
