Magikarp huh? They helped alot once..! -She received the egg and unleashed her Arcanine, who instantly laid down and curled around the egg when Crys placed it down.-
…Hmm? -Crys looked at the Dratini and smiled, walking closer and offering a hand out to the Dratini.-
It’s okay, I’m just a researcher.

I’m Crystal Jemmings, nice to meet you two.

Hakuba was pleased with the young woman’s conduct, professional and polite, and felt eager to continue the pleasant interaction. “The pleasure is all mine, I assure you,” he said, giving a nod. “My name is Saguru Hakuba. This is Jade,” he nodded to the little dratini, who wriggled its nose before stretching out to nuzzle at the girl’s hand. 

“And that,” he glanced over his shoulder to the dragonite, who stood behind him with a large, lazy smile. “Is Ryuu. If this magikarp turns out anything like my Kitty, it’ll be just what the professor was hoping for, I believe… thank you for your assistance.”

Genius.

-standing up Crystal patted the Pichu’s head before walking towards the visitor.-
Of course! I’ll have Arckee keep it warm.-She says looking down at her belt, the arcanine inside of one of the capsules nodded his head as Crys puts her hands out to receive the egg.-
Do you know what sort of egg this is or is that why you brought it?

“Yes, actually. It’s a…”  Hakuba laughed somewhat sheepishly as he took the egg from the pouch, offering it to her. “…it’s a magikarp, of all things. One of the clutch from breeding my Gyarados with another champion. The professor seemed very interested in getting his hands on one.”

The dratini peered at Crystal curiously, then buried its face against the young man’s neck, tail curling shyly. 

Genius.

[Today, professor Elm had called in to leave a notice with Crys. Watch the lab while he’s in Hoenn for a conference. She of course had no arguments with the request and simply sat in the lab, doing some of his unfinished paperwork, correcting his theories a tad and straightening up the lab. It wasn’t so hard so why didn’t Elm get these things finished?? 

Seating herself at a table in front of a Pichu, she plays with it until she heard the doors open. Her head turns to whoever may be welcoming themselves inside.]

Ah—the professor isn’t here today.

“Oh, really? That’s a shame." 

The voice belonged to Hakuba Saguru, one of the few contending for Lance’s title – that of dragon master, that is, not of psychopath. He smiled, confident as easy as he walked in, holding in his arms a wool bag with a very large, spotted egg. Curled loosely around his neck was a young dratini, and following behind, very carefully, a Dragonite. "May I leave this here with you, then?"
