It is early one Monday morning. A woman in her early 40's is looking at a calendar crossing off today's date. She sighs "Well today's the day". She is a tall woman. She is wearing a light pink lab coat, and had her hair in a large bun. She walks into the living room to find a girl watching TV.
The girl was about 10 years old. She has short blue hair with pigtails. She is wearing a white blouse with blue leggings, and blue shoes.
"Jovi," the woman says "Could you go wake up Jack. He hasn't gotten out of bed yet."
The girl groans "Oh come on mom why can't Big Brother do it?".
"I sent Michael out to run a quick errand, and I need to set things up just go wake Jack." says the woman.
"Ugh fine." groans Jovi as she got up and left the living room.
As she walks to the stairway the doorbell rings, and someone starts to speak through the intercom "Hello anyone here? Sorry we're early.".
"Jovi could you get that?" asks the woman,
"Sorry mom Jovi is waking Grey." Jovi says as she runs up the stairs avoiding another task.
The woman once again sighs and walks over to the door, " It's okay Rui." she says,
"Thanks Lily." Rui says.
Jovi walks down the hallway passing all the bedrooms. Once she reaches the end on the hall she stops. There is a locked door leading to the last bedroom. As she jiggles with the doorknob Jovi mutters under her breath "Why does he do this every time. No one wants to go in there, and now Jovi is missing her shows.". Once Jovi forces the door open she yells "Grey wake up you're going to miss the boat!" and then slams the door shut running back to the living room.
The boy in the room springs from the bed "Oh shit I forgot!" the boy says. This boy is Jack Greyson, but he goes by his nickname Grey. Grey is a 10 years old boy the same age as Jovi. He is a bit tall for his age and has short brown hair. Although he lives with Lily, Jovi and Michael he is not related to them in the slightest bit; he is adopted.
Grey jumps from his bed at the same time avoiding his Pokémon Shinx that has just woken due to all the commotion. "Gotta get all my things, my pouch, jacket, did I charge my P*DA oh shit oh shit!". The Shinx is sitting at the foot of the bed watching his master frantically run around the room. Finally it let out a cry "Shinx.". "Oh hey Sparks you're awake." Grey says.
Sparks is Grey's first Pokémon and he is Grey's best friend for as long as he could remember. Sparks gets up and gives another cry while shaking out his shiny yellow fur. Shinx are rare in Orre and the fact that Sparks is yellow make him rarer. After the second shadow incident wild Pokémon have returned to Orre. Pokémon trainers are now more common and colosseum battles are more frequent.
"And finally your pokeball." Grey says as he looks at his friend with a big smile on his face. Grey is now wearing his lucky green jacket, a pair of baggy jeans, his hand-me-down pouch from Michael and his new running shoes he custom ordered from Hoenn.
Grey runs down stairs with Sparks right behind "Good morning Lil," before Grey could finish his sentence he is greeted with demands
"Grey I need you to go to the lab now!" demands Lily,
"But I," once again before Grey could finish he is cut off
"I said now!" yells Lily.
"Okay okay." Grey says, as he walks towards the door. On his way out Grey notices a man and woman in their early 20's hiding in the other room. Grey gives a little smirk as he walks out the door.
As Grey heads to the lab he wonders why Lily is sending him there. "What is so important at the lab? Is there a new machine that needs testing?" asks Grey while he talks to himself. He looks down at Sparks who is trotting along side with him. "Eh oh well.". He tries to think of something else, but all he could think about is the lab, and his trip to Sinnoh he will be leaving on soon.
Before he ca nstart talking to himself again he is greeted by Prof. Krane.
Prof. Krane is a short skinny man, who is a family friend of Lily. He has short brown hair and wears a white lab coat with a green button up shirt underneath.
"Hello Jack, how are you this fine morning?" asks Prof Krane.
"I'm tired and confused. So it's a normal Monday morning." Grey says in a sarcastic tone.
"Haha well let me help you out." Prof. Krane says "If you're confused on why you're here, we have developed a new feature with the Battle Simulator that will help you on your journey to Sinnoh."
"Really?" exclaims Grey "What is it?!". Grey's annoyed expression is suddenly replaced with sheer excitement.
"Well as you know," states Prof. Krane "Sinnoh is a northern region that has cooler temperatures year round. This is the polar opposite of our climate here in Orre.".
"Yeah so?" asks Grey. His facial expression is withdrawing back to its board look.
"So," Prof. Krane says "We made it so the Battle Simulator will create these environment simulations so you could get use to them. It's going to be a hell of a lot different battling in a snowstorm then in a desert.". Prof Krane seems very happy with his new accomplishment.
"But Professor I leave today how can this help me?" asks Grey in an undermining tone. "Maybe if you told me this last week it could have helped but I don't see it giving me this advantage you say it will.".
Prof. Krane's eyes were wide open realizing what Grey has just said. "Well an introduction is always nice right?" asks Prof Krane trying to make it seem the Battle Simulator will help Grey and make him stay in the lab.
"Alright a few battles in the simulator couldn't hurt." Grey says "Sparks I need you to go back in your pokeball for a while okay?". Sparks barks and returns to his pokeball. "Okay Prof. Krane fire up the simulator."
"Fine lets do this." Prof. Krane says in a huff of relief. Prof. Krane walks over the computer that controls the Battle Simulator and Grey goes into the Battle Simulator chamber. "Okay Grey the simulation will start in three,two,one,"
