The apartment was a pigsty. There was little to nothing that had order, like a hurricane. But a hurricane would make the whole interior of the little studio of 400 square feet just that much better. The sink had dishes flooding upwards, clothes were thrown about everywhere, the bathroom smelled weird.

Don't worry, the bathroom came that way before renting.

Still, today was the day!

The alarm goes off, and Genny is up at 5AM. She has approximately two hours to get ready, and despite possible neurotic tendencies, she begins the day. First, shower, then teeth brush, then nails, followed by blow dryer, then hairbrush, only after that could she have the Ranger outfit. She finally gets to wear it! She even ironed it last night! It looks so cute! The shoes, the black socks, the top, the jacket! The only thing she didn't like was the hairband, but with a little ingenuity, and a red scrunch, she puts her hair into a cute ponytail to fit the Ranger aesthetic! Next came make-up! The rest of the studio was pretty messy, but the bathroom was perfect. Make-up was color coordinated, and after a light bit of blush, eyeliner, some lip gloss, she looked at the time.

6:45AM! She had time to do laundry!

Running about the apartment, she started to fish every last thing up from her home into the laundry basket Serenity was sleeping in, and as she goes to fish for every piece of cloth, following in her trail is Bubbles, the Azuril with a tiny bow on her left ear. Throwing the clothes on Serenity, and stacking the basket, she calls out.

"Mr. Business, laundry day!" With an audible unga bunga fling upwards, Mr. Business hops from the corner like a beanbag chair given sentience, grabs the basket Serenity was still in, and holds it for Genny to throw blouse by blouse, skirt by skirt, sock by sock, everything covering the floor now in the basket with an Eevee surprise. She shoves a hand into the short-shorts she had one yesterday, tongue out as she fishes for it... and she jumps for joy when she feels four quarters, her outfit bouncing with her. "Yay! We have a dollar for laundry!" Bubbles and Mr. Business hopped up as well, Serenity's sleepy paw holds up from the basket, completely dizzied by the whole affair.

Now! The time read 7:15AM!

She does one more once over, makes sure her butt is nice and perky, and proceeds to hold Bubbles on her shoulder, and head to the laundry room, before entering the dollar in quarters to the machine, throwing her clothes in, only the darks of course.

As Serenity finally is freed from her prison of madness, Genny finally scoops Serenity up to her other shoulder, and with Mr. Business, she leans back, letting him carry the trio with a single beefy arm. "Onwards, to the HQ!"

---

And she was still late. 8:05AM.

Appearing five minutes late, Mr. Business, Bubbles, Serenity and Genny appeared in front of the HQ, as Genny races inside, all three following in her wake, as she races towards the office.

Oh no oh no oh no oh no oh no. She skids to a halt. "I'm looking for Captain Fawnley! Has anyone seen him?!" She's freaking out. She was late, she didn't mean to be! Oh well, she would make up for it! No job was too big, nor too hard for Genevieve Cromwell! Today, a cadet of the Slateport Pokemon Rangers just like her mother and father! She only hopes Captain Fawnley isn't a stickler for timing! Laundry was important!

And so was having her life together, but she wasn't a pessimist!

There’s always a cadet assigned to sit at the front desk, perhaps one day it may even be herself. On this day, however, the young man that leans back on the office chair greets her with a chuckle, looking her up and down before making an educated deduction:
[break][break]
”You’re the new kid, eh? Captain’s waiting by the training grounds out back.”
[break][break]
Of course, he could have told her that while Tam is punctual, he is also, in fact, not particularly strict, but sometimes cadets just have a thing for messing with new trainees, don’t they? Call it a little bit of health hazing.
[break][break]
At least he hadn’t lied.
[break][break]
The captain does indeed stand by the training grounds: leaning against a tall tree, clad in a suit, and with a cigarette in hand. He’s not one to smoke indoors (not at HQ, at least, his own house is another deal entirely), so he takes the chance to do so while waiting for the newest trainee to arrive.
[break][break]
Nearby, a Yamper plays with a ball he had just tossed for her: Clover, Slateport HQ’s unofficial mascot.

The cadet who sits in the office chair chuckles, greets her, and though she was thinking he was Captain Fawnley, he reveals that Captain Fawnley was out back, and even worse, by that statement, revealing she was even more late. Which only stresses her out more, but before she let's that get her down, Genny finds herself bowing slightly.

A composed "Thank you!" comes from her lips. And then?

The race never ends, as she finds herself rushing with a Darmanitan behind her, hazel eyes looking for the exit out back, and as soon as she bursts through the door, her Eevee and Azurill on her shoulders, she sees him. There! Under that tree!

With the fastest many-metered sprint she can muster in her tired legs, she quickly rushes towards the smoking captain, and gives her spiel. She worked on it all morning. "CADETCROMWELLREPORTING FORDUTYCAPTAINFAWNLEY IMSORRYIMLATEIHAD ALAUNDRYISSUE!" Those were words. She was speaking faster than her mind could keep up, and the red on her face got worse by the minute. Her face is coated lightly in sweat.

Well... at least she was here! Serenity the Eevee quickly runs over towards Yamper, proceeding to wave at the mascot, as does Bubbles the Azurill. Mr. Business merely acted as the second behind Genny, eyes on Captain Fawley.

He blinks.
[break][break]
Once. Twice. Three times.
[break][break]
He then proceeds to blow out a small cloud of rising smoke, flick away his cigarette’s ashes, and only after however many seconds that just was, does he finally respond to the rapid greeting given by the new recruit now standing before him.
[break][break]
While may be in a rush, the captain is as if her polar opposite.
[break][break]
”Cromwell, is it? It’s good to meet you. It’s fine if you’re a few minutes late to your first training session, but try not to make a habit out of it. Being punctual is a good habit for when you start responding to emergencies.”
[break][break]
Tam’s tone is calm; neutral, as if nothing in the world could affect him. While his Yamper runs around and plays with Genny’s pokémon, Tam himself barely moves from where he is.
[break][break]
”Today we’ll focus on handling wild pokémon, though. Do you have any questions before we get started?”

It's her first day, it's jsut her first day. It's not like Captain Fawnley would be too harsh on her, right? And it seemed like a cute meeting at first... at first. And then, it quickly nosedives when he mentions not to make a habit of it. Though he's calm, it does ruin her nerves just a bit more. Like she's done something taboo, and she needs to fix it.

Taking a deep breath, just as the Yamper plays with Serenity and Bubbles, Genny's hazel eyes turn up, as she smiles. "Won't happen again. You have my word, Captain." Because she'd just set her alarm clock ten minutes sooner! That would stop this from happening again!

Tam's mission for her made sense. Taming! Easy enough, Genny was friendly enough, and had a good relationship with Pokemon!

"Piece of cake! None needed! Who do I have to handle?" She was chipper, exuberant. She was ready to put Palkia itself into submission! Or at least, she would think as much!

Tam wouldn’t necessarily call training wild pokémon a piece of cake, but he does not bother with correcting Genny. Some people find enthusiasm contagious, he doesn’t, but he also isn’t particularly against it. He just lets it be.
[break][break]
”Here.” From the pokéball holster clipped to his belt, he retrieves one, offering it to Genevieve. Tam looks at her then, making sure she’ll listen carefully to what he has to say.
[break][break]
”I caught this Toxtricity the other day. It’s wild and I haven’t worked on training it at all. I want you to get it to listen to a single command, be it using a move or otherwise.”
[break][break]
It’s clearly not just about dealing with wild pokémon. To a degree, it’ll also show him Genny’s mettle as a trainer.
[break][break]
”Any questions?”

There was no way Genevieve would fail, no way, no how! So as the Pokeball is given, Genny grabs it, and looks over it, listening to Tam speak while feeling the weight in her hand.

A Toxtricity? That's not usually her type of Pokemon, so she thinks. They were a thing in Galar, if she recalls, and actually... she feels her face become slightly blue. She remembered being slightly afraid of Toxtricity. Fearing one was in her closet when she was a child, or coming to eat her and bury her bones or something. This would not be a piece of cake.

That was child Genny though. She shakes her head, and looks to her Captain. "None needed. I'm on the case." And then comes the release.

The thing about Low Amp Toxtricity was that no matter what, it keeps its cool. That's something Genny knows little of, and when the purple beast explodes out the Pokeball, he takes a moment to analyze his surroundings, before laying on the ground, head on the dirt, and closing his eyes. He wanted a nap.

Slapping her face, Genny would feel the pain to get over her childish fears, as she moved to stand right above the Toxtricity's head, and with both hands on her hips, she calls out. "Hello! It's so great to meet you!"

Its eyes droop open, and he stares Genny down... turning on his side to look away.

Moving around the rather rude Poison Electric lizard, Genny sits in front of him. "Sooooo. What do you like to do?" The thing was, despite her reservations, she was doing fine. Her heart beat harder, but as her hazel eyes looked him over, the Toxtricity felt a slight annoyance within. An irritation, as it attempted to spoke Genevieve with a little static electricity. A quick shock would scare her away.

As he places a finger on Genny's knee, she feels an electrical shock, and falls over, yelping in a sudden shock of pain, as the Toxtricity turns onto its other side.

Oh, this was going to be a looooooong day.
