>>Miss Decore;; Too Late}}

[Flora]

Flora's feet finally came to a halt from sprinting on the ground. She leaned over and placed her hands on her knees, breathing hard. It had been a long run from her grandparent's house, and now that she was where the map on the back of the note she found, addressed to her, wanted her to be, she found it a good moment to catch her breath.

Gaining control, Flora raised her hands above her head and stretched slightly. "God, I hate running." She mumbled before walking up to the door. The sign at the right of her read 'The Hatchery'. She didn't really know what that meant, but she could guess really easily from the name, but she still wasn't sure. She curled up her fist and went to knock.

But, as she did, the door didn't seem to be shut all the way, and it creaked open when her fist hit the door to knock. Since the door was open, Flora let herself in very slowly, glancing around the room she had just entered, frantically. She didn't see her grandparents anywhere and Flora sighed in defeat. "I'm too late..." She murmured to herself before reading the note over. 'Keep going, but don't forget to grab a Pokémon because you're going to need protection from the wild Pokémon out there!' It read.

Flora took a few steps in. 'Is this the place to get a Pokémon?' She thought, glancing around the room once more.

[Flora]

The shy girl hung her head as she re-read the note, again. It didn't seem to make sense. Why would her grandparents send her on a wild goose chase? Perhaps it was a challenge, or something that they thought she was going to enjoy because her grandfather was always into getting her outside and active. Maybe... Maybe they did want to travel with her, maybe they wanted to take a look, slow look around Soaeniin, their retirement place. Maybe they wanted to get out of the house, and didn't feel like waiting for her, knowing she'd catch up eventually.

Flora lifted her head to see a young woman slowly approaching her. "Oh, uh, sorry! The door was open and I just uh, sorry..." Flora said quickly, but the young woman didn't seem mad, in fact, she had a kind smile on her face. "Hello, you're here for a Pokémon, am I right?" She said.

"Oh, uh, yes. Yes, I am." Flora answered quietly, slowly nodding her head as she gingerly folded up her note and stuck it in her pocket.

[moo]

[/b] Mira said to the girl "Just in case you don't know the procedure, i'll explain when we're there. Follow me, please." Mira nodded at the girl, traversing across the room and waiting in front of the door for the newcomer. "Oh, and i'm Mira. It's a pleasure."
[/ul]

[Flora]

The older woman's smile soften, and it was on the verge of becoming creepy on how sweet her smile was. But, perhaps she looked like that when she was in her garden, happily wasting the day away outside. The only time she ever looked in the mirror was when she was inside, and she wasn't ever happy when she was indoors. Because, it was either at school, or at home, and those places were not places to be happy.

"Come along, then," The lady said, "Just in case you don't know the procedure, I'll explain when we're there. Follow me, please." She continued, gracefully walking across the floor to wait for Flora to follow. Flora nodded and approached her as instructed. "Oh, and I'm Mira. It's a pleasure." The woman introduced herself.

"Oh, my name is Flora. It's nice to meet you, too." Flora said quietly.

[moo]

[/b] Mira said lightly, opening the entrance to the room that held the choices of a starter for Flora.

The room seemed to never end, every time Mira walked in; she should have gotten used to it by then, but she hadn't. Upon entering, the room stretched far to left and right, every three feet or so a row of tables - just enough room to squeeze by to another row of tables. On each of the wooden surfaces lay at least two incubators - that is, a small machine with a drawer beneath it, a colorful Pokémon egg nestled inside. There were a few tables with three incubators managing to fit on top, and even a few incubators with nothing inside them; the emptiness would soon be filled with another generous egg donation.

The eggs were colors of all shades - red, green, blue, orange, purple, black and white, violet and mahogany and every color in between, stripes and polka-dots extremely common and a solid egg rare. The room's temperature rose a couple of degrees, and Mira stepped inside, waiting for Flora to enter so she could close the door as fast as possible and preserve all the heat.

"Please choose any egg that appeals to you. It's obviously your choice, but if you are drawn to one I suggest picking it. When you've chosen, we'll bath it in the hot springs until it hatches." Mira nodded at Flora. "Are you going to be a breeder or trainer? Or maybe a coordinator?" Mira asked, lemon-like eyes drifting to the girl once again. [/ul]

[Flora]

"Well, here's how it goes," Mira started, but stopped as she allowed Flora into the room. Looking around, there didn't seem to be a wall at the other end, just kept right on going. Tables took up every space along the wall, not even an inch crack separating any two desks. Yet, on every table was a set of incubators, sometimes three to a table. Inside each device was an egg, gently placed inside.

Flora quickly closed the door behind her, making sure none of the hot air had escaped. None of the eggs seemed to stir, just yet. It was a peaceful surrounding, and it made her glad to see that, hopefully, all of these Pokémon would one day get a new life, a new home with a loving trainer. And one would leave with her today. "Please choose any egg that appeals to you. It's obviously your choice, but if you are drawn to one I suggest picking it. When you've chosen, we'll bath it in the hot springs until it hatches." Mira instructed, catching Flora's full attention. "Are you going to be a breeder or trainer? Or maybe a coordinator?"

"Oh, trainer." Flora responded before looking back at the glorious eggs. Her eyes scanned the rows and rows and she began to travel down the row, her fingertips lightly touching the surface of the tables. She looked for an egg that totally appealed to her, wondering what was inside each of the eggs she passed.

And then, she saw it.

It was a mostly green egg with hues of pink and blue. Although it looked like someone spilled paint on it, like every other egg, the green seemed to take the shape of a leaf. 'A grass-type, I hope!!' Flora thought hopefully. "T-this one!" Flora said to Mira, still staring at it with a smile lacing her thin lips.

[j a z z.]

"A trainer, huh? Alright~" Mira chimed, flashing Flora a small smile. Moving over to a nearby shelf, she busied herself in search of Flora's trainer kit. Plucking a drawstring bag from one of the numerous boxes that lined the shelf, the proprietor of the hatchery returned to the girl. "Here we are! This should definitely help you through the first route and then some. But, I can't let you have this yet because first we must see what type of Pokémon hatches from the egg. The type determines the primer I give to aspiring young trainers, you see."

Mira turned her attention upon the egg that had been chosen. Wordlessly, she fiddled with the incubating chamber in which the Pokémon egg was being contained, finally removing it from the device. Cradling the egg between her hands carefully, Mira slowly extended it to Flora. "Ah~ I usually allow you guys to carry the eggs; they are intended to be your Pokémon, are they not?" Once the egg had been transferred from person to person successfully, [shame on me for powerplaying slightly...] Mira returned to the machine that had previously contained the egg. Within a tray on the bottom of the device she retreived four premium candies. "You'll feed these to the hatchling, in order to raise it to an appropriate level five."

Motioning for Flora to follow, she led the girl outside where the hotsprings were located. It was a bit overcast out, a reminder that it was to rain later in the afternoon. "Mmkay, when you're ready simply place your egg into the water and wait for it to hatch. I'm going to stand over here...it's very important that your new companion sees you first~ It seems to have a positive effect on the relationship between the trainer and the Pokémon." Smiling gently, Mira scooted off to the side to observe Flora and the egg without causing a distraction. She had to admit that she too was excited; who knew what sort of Pokémon was destined to hatch from the egg the young woman chose?

[Flora]

Mira had disappeared to gather her up a bag for Flora to use on her adventure, even if she was just trying to get to her grandparents. When Mira reappeared with a draw string bag, Flora's gaze didn't leave the egg for very long. "Here we are! This should definitely help you through the first route and then some. But, I can't let you have this yet because first we must see what type of Pokémon hatches from the egg. The type determines the primer I give to aspiring young trainers, you see." Mira chimed happily, explaining to her.

Flora wasted no time in telling Mira which egg she wanted, seeming captivated by it. The young woman moved to fiddle with the incubator and the door soon opened up wide. Mira removed the egg with care, and offered it to Flora. "Ah~ I usually allow you guys to carry the eggs; they are intended to be your Pokémon, are they not?" Mira asked. Flora only nodded and grinned, happily, and gently, taking the offered egg into her arms.

She was lead outside to where a large pool of steaming water rested in waiting. The evening was fair, and the clouds above seemed to promise a later shower, but Flora wasn't really worried. "Mmkay, when you're ready simply place your egg into the water and wait for it to hatch. I'm going to stand over here...it's very important that your new companion sees you first~ It seems to have a positive effect on the relationship between the trainer and the Pokémon." Mira explained. "O-okay..." Flora murmured and approached the pool of water.

Leaning down, she very gently dipped the egg into the water until is was completely submerged, but did not let it sink, only held it there. She didn't mind getting a little bit wet. Flora was simply ecstatic, and nervously awaited the hatching of her new Pok?mon.

[j a z z.]

Mira watched as Flora dipped the egg into the water. She was about to point out that there was really no need for her to hold onto the egg--that they usually were very buoyant and floated on their own anyway--when the egg suddenly began quivering. A wide smile stretched across her face. The actual hatching had begun!

The egg's trembling grew more and more frequent, to the point where Mira wondered if Flora was having a difficult time keeping a good grasp on its slippery surface. A pale white glow began to engulf the egg; its shape conforming to the species of Pokémon it contained. Two small ears began to take shape, the form of a cuddly teddy bear following closely afterwards.

The egg hatched into a baby Teddiursa!

Though it wasn't a grass-type like Mira had heard Flora hope for, the result was still a good one nonetheless! Making her way over to where the new trainer was standing, she offered the candies in an outstretched hand. "Alright, now you can feed these to your newly hatched Teddiursa!" She smiled as the small bear-like Pokémon extended its stubby arms towards Flora, opening its mouth in hopes of receiving something to eat.

"After you do that, we can head back in and I'll give you your items~" Mira reminded Flora, stepping back to let her feed the premium candies to the Teddiursa.

[Flora]

Flora waited for what felt like fifteen hours, not wanting to let go of the egg, even if she was allowed to let go of it. It was such a special moment that seemed to drag on forever. When Flora was just about to give up, and declare that the egg was a dud, a small shake was felt. Flora jumped slightly, and grinned widely as the egg's shaking and jiggling began more fierce, splashing the water, even.

Flora wasn't exactly holding it, just letting it shake and placing her hands under it, and soon a light was emitted from it. The shaking ceased and the Pok?mon formed into a familiar shape. And soon the only thing that she held in her arms was a cute little Teddiursa! "Teddi?" It spoke, Flora grinning wide. "Alright, now you can feed these to your newly hatched Teddiursa!" Mira told her, offering her four premium candies. Flora thanked her and took the candies from her hand and began unwrapping the first candy.

The Teddiursa saw the presence of food and opened up its mouth, and stretched it's furry paws toward Flora. One by one, Flora fed her new Pok?mon the candies, raising it's level each time. By the time the fourth candy was gone, the Teddiursa seemed satisfied. "Oh, you're just the cutest thing!" Flora said. Even though it was no grass-type, a cute little teddy bear would do just fine!

[Alli]

[/b]" Mira made sure to add, her smile remaining on her pretty lips. "And here's your items, just like I promised! I wish you a great journey."[/ul]
