Dawn and Paul were going through the folders, looking at the information of the legendary pokémon.
"This is so hard to do without any actual details," Dawn groaned, hanging her head back.
"We have to make do with what we have," Paul sighed, flipping to the next profile. Dawn huffed and leaned back in her chair, flipping through the pages. Suddenly Emi let out a squeak, jumping out of her chair.
"What's wrong?" Dawn gasped, jumping up in shock.
"Oh…umm…I forgot about something…" Emi muttered, before clearing her throat. She snapped her fingers and once again the maid entered the room. This time she was holding a silver tray with six pokéballs on them. "Your pokémon!" Dawn and Paul stood up, going over to the tray.
"First up, are the three starter types," the maid announced, releasing the pokémon. A grass snake, fire pig, and a blue otter appeared looking up at them happily. "You can choose between Snivy, Tepig, and Oshawott."
"They're all so cute," Dawn gasped, crouching down and smiling at the three.
"So, which will you choose?" Emi asked. Dawn smiled and picked up Snivy, admiring the snake.
"I'm going to go with Snivy. I feel like I'd be replacing Piplup if I went with Oshawott," the blunette smiled, cuddling the small grass type. Snivy smiled and wrapped its small arms around her neck, giving her a hug.
"I'll go with Oshawott," Paul sighed, picking up the pokéball.
"Will you be taking Tepig?" Dawn asked Emi.
"No, I have my own pokémon, I don't need Tepig," Emi told them. "Please, leave the Tepig here."
"Yes milady," the woman bowed, leaving.
"What are those pokéballs for?" Dawn asked, looking at the other three. Instead of being red and white they were silver and looked like glass.
"What are those? They don't look like any pokéball I've ever seen," Paul muttered in shock, reaching out to take one.
"These are pokéballs created just for the Legend Catcher job. It allows you to call upon any legendary pokémon that you yourself have befriended. You need the pokémon's permission to be able to fully use this pokéball though," Emi explained. Dawn took one as well, examining it. "Why don't you try them?"
"And summon what? We don't have any pokémon's approval," Paul answered.
"Actually…" Dawn trailed off, staring at the pokéball. She held it out in nervousness, taking a deep breath. "Mesprit, I call upon you." The ball popped open and instead of a red light coming out to form the pokémon, a white light appeared. A golden ring of light surrounded it and slowly encircled the white light, turning it golden. The two lights molded together, taking on the form of Mesprit. The pink pokémon looked around in confusion until she saw Dawn. Mesprit gave a soft cheer and flew over to the girl. Dawn smiled and took the pokémon in her hands, giving her a hug. "Mesprit! I've missed you so much!"
"I've missed you too! It's been so long!" Mesprit said.
"Amazing," Paul whispered, looking at the pokémon. He looked at the pokéball in his hand and nodded. "This will definitely come in handy."
"I know you bonded with me, but I didn't think I'd actually be able to call you," Dawn said.
"Of course you could! That's why I chose you," Mesprit said. "I could tell you were a Legend Catcher the moment we met." Mesprit flew around Dawn, laughing.
"You two can call upon any legendary pokémon that you have already befriended or caught in this special ball," Emi smiled. "And when you no longer require their assistance you can send them back home."
"Mesprit, I'll see you some other time, alright?" Dawn smiled at the lake guardian.
"Alright! But don't take so long next time!" Mesprit warned. The blunette opened the pokéball, returning Mesprit to her lake. The maid approached them once more, pushing a tray.
"Compared to normal trainers, the Legend Catchers have a few different devices, such as your pokédex." The maid held up a watch like device with a rectangular screen. "This device acts like the x-transceiver of the Unova region. It can make calls, tell time, give you a map of the region you are currently in, it also acts as your pokédex." They both took one of the white watches, looking at it. Dawn smiled and pressed a button, making a holoscreen appear.
"Whoa…" she gasped.
"Of course, it is a bit more high-tech than normal x-transceivers," Emi said with a proud smirk.
"How do we make it scan a pokémon?" Paul asked. Emi smiled and strapped the third watch around her wrist.
"You use this," she answered, pointing to a clear bump. She pointed it at her tepig and a red light came out of it, scanning Tepig. The holoscreen appeared, creating images of Tepig.
Tepig, the Fire Pig Pokémon. Normally, fire shoots out of Tepig's snout, but it shoots out smoke instead when it is feeling ill.
"That's so cool!" Dawn smiled, turning to Snivy.
Snivy, the Grass Snake Pokémon. Cool, calm, and collected, Snivy uses photosynthesis to collect energy with the leaf on its tail.
Paul held up his watch and scanned his own pokémon.
Oshawott, the Sea Otter Pokémon. Oshawottattacksand defends using the scalchopthat can be removed from its stomach.
"And you can easily share the information between watches," Emi said. She held her watch close to Paul's. Tepig registered in his pokédex quickly, and Snivy registered in hers.
"What else can these do?" he asked.
"Well, by pressing this button it can give off a signal to your partner saying that you're in danger," Emi explained, pointing to one of the buttons.
"Do you have that button memorized, troublesome," Paul smirked.
"Oh shut up, Paul." Dawn scowled, crossing her arms.
"Yeah shut up!" Snivy nodded, crossing her arms as well.
"There are several different apps, as well as one that allows you to track a pokémon, so long as you have placed a tracer on them," Emi smiled, sliding her finger across the screen.
"How do we do that?" Dawn asked. Emi pointed to three gun like objects and a cylindrical case for each one. Emi picked up one of each she opened the case and took, out a small chip. She placed the chip back inside the case and closed it. Emi quickly placed the case in a compartment in the gun and locked it in.
"Those small chips I showed you were tracers. You use this gun to shoot the tracers. It won't hurt the pokémon, only attach to their skin. They may feel a little pain, like when you get hit by a marble but it goes away quickly," Emi explained.
"How do you know that?" Paul asked. Emi smiled and pointed the sleek white gun at Tepig. The fire pig stood absolutely still and let his Emi shoot him.
"Ow!" He gasped, rubbing his paw against his head. He blinked and nodded. "I don't feel anything anymore."
"And then you press this button," Emi hummed, pressing the button. The holoscreen turned into a 3D image of the world, and a blinking red dot was over the ocean. She tapped the red dot and an image of a Tepig appeared. "In case you tag more than one pokémon, you can see which one it is by tapping one of the red dots."
"That's useful," Dawn noted.
"How do we deactivate a tracer?" Paul asked.
"Once it falls off the pokémon, it shuts down," Emi told them. "These tracers can last anywhere from a few minutes, to a few days, even weeks. It all depends on how long it takes the tracker to fall off. You can track them all around the globe if needed. If you've caught a pokémon, just find the chip and take it off to deactivate it." To demonstrate she rubbed her hand over Tepig's head before she found the chip. She plucked it off the pokémon and the red dot disappeared from the world map.
"That's awesome," Dawn smiled, picking up a gun and a tube of chips.
"This will come in handy. Especially if we're chasing a legendary that doesn't trust humans," Paul agreed.
"Great," Emi smiled. "Now that's all. You'll be dropped off at Nuvema town and you'll meet professor Juniper. She'll give you your pokédex that you'll use in front of other trainers, and five starter pokéballs."
"Wait, you're not going to be with us?" Dawn asked us.
"Unfortunately I have some business to attend to in Castelia city," Emi sighed.
"Great, then I only have one troublesome girl to look after," Paul muttered, sitting down and picking up the manila folder again.
"If we're going to be traveling together, can you at least try to act nice!?" Dawn demanded, glaring at him.
"Agreed!" Snivy huffed. "You two are stuck with each other, so you might as well get along."
"Why would I do that?" Paul asked. Dawn grumbled and sat down next to him, looking over her folder.
"Oh boy…this is going to be a long journey," Emi sighed.
