On the same day where Lorcan arrived to Lumiose City, a teenage girl is walking in the city before meeting Professor Sycamore to get her first Pokémon. Professor Sycamore also giving away the Kanto starters, Bulbasaur the Seed Pokémon, Charmander the Lizard Pokémon and Squirtle the Tiny Turtle Pokémon. The teenage girl sees Lorcan walking to the Professor Sycamore's labaratory.
She remembered him when they were eleven years old. When she was a kid, she kept her hair in a style somewhat reminiscent of a bob cut except her hair is straighter around the sides. She usually wears dresses when out of her school uniform.
And now, She has grown into a young lady with a petite build. She is shown to have light brownish-pink wavy hair which reaches her chest and her bangs reach the bridge of her nose. Her eyes are dark brown in color. She is usually seen in only the school's uniform.
She decided to go after him until he goes into an elevator. She waited for the lift to come down and go after him. She wasn't mad at him for what he did anymore and decided to forgive him. When the elevator door opened, she is walked to Professor Sycamore's desk. Lorcan was shocked.
"So, we meet again." said Lorcan who's shocked. She smiles that it's been a long time. "Oh right,you're deaf. Melanie isn't it?"
Melanie nodded and happy that Lorcan remembers her name. She holds her notebook saying "I'm glad that you remember me."
"Hello Melanie. Today's the day you get your first Pokémon?" Professor Sycamore asked.
Melanie nodded yes and write down in her notebook saying "Yes. I'm excited to see the world with my Pokémon."
"Oh right, you're becoming a trainer!"said Lorcan who didn't know she's becoming a trainer. "If you want, we can be travel together."
"Well now, you DO have a certain je ne sais quoi! I have a good feeling about you! At first, I was thinking of choosing only one child from a town when I was deciding who to give a Pokémon to. In Vaniville Town, it was going to be the child of a Veteran Trainer I know. About then, I learned that the Rhyhorn racer Grace and her daughter were moving here. Here in the Kalos region, you're far away from everything you used to know... That really hit me right here... Then it hit me-I should give you a Pokémon and have you travel around Kalos!" said Professor Sycamore.
"Serena moved here in Kalos from somewhere?" Lorcan asked in confusion.
Just then, the elevator door opened and Serena and Shauna run to Professor Sycamore's desk.
""Hi, Professor! It's Shauna! " said Shauna.
"Sorry to have kept you waiting. I had to go to the bathroom before I start my journey."said Serena who's blushing in embarrassment.
"Fantastic! Now, let's all have a Pokémon battle! Your opponent shall be me!" said Professor Sycamore.
Lorcan was shocked that he's challenged by Professor Sycamore in a battle. He may have Froakie and Pikachu today but he's willing to battle.
"Okay. Let's do it." said Lorcan who accept Professor Sycamore's challenge.
Melanie, Serena and Shauna are interest to watch them battle.
"Hi, I'm Serena and this is Shauna." said Serena who's kindly introducing to Melanie.
Melanie writes down in her notebook and saying, "Hi, I'm Melanie."
"Why are you writing down on a notebook and not talking instead?" Shauna asked in confusion.
"Oh, if you girls asked. She's deaf." said Lorcan. Melanie gave Lorcan a thumbs up as a thanks.
Lorcan prepare to begin the battle against Professor Sycamore.
