Nice to meet you! You're here for a tour of our laboratory, right? Then just follow me, I know this place like the back of my paw. I was actually born and raised here. That human, the guy over by that machine with his nose buried in a book, he's my supervisor. He's not really my trainer, we don't have Pokémon battles around here all that often. But he's the one who takes care of me. And on weekends I go home with him.
This room is where the Pokémon involved in the research live. We each get our own cubby-hole with a door we can shut when we don't want to be disturbed. What's that, cages? No, we don't have those here. See, our doors don't lock, so you couldn't really call them 'cages'. We each decorate our little room how we want. Mine has a little bean-bag bed and a picture of my supervisor on the wall. He put it there when I was little hand had trouble sleeping at night.
And over here we have one of my favorite research rooms. This room's used for research on human-Pokémon interactions in normal settings. That's why it looks like a living room. And that room is used for battle research. I don't usually work in there, it's not my supervisor's field of study.
There's a laboratory for genetic testing back there. And over here's the cafeteria. Probably the best room in the whole lab! Oh, and back this way is the Pokédex room, they're always doing something too technical for me to understand. I was called in once though, they needed me for pictures in the Pokédex. Check your Pokédex Ratatta entry, that could be my picture in there!
Well, I hope you enjoyed my little tour of the research facility. I hope you visit again someday. This has to be one of the coolest places in the world. Don't you think so too?
