The Professor waaited for Ieaun to come back to earth patiently. Worry creased his brow slightly. After all it was odd for the boy to not be stammering, and he still seemed to be staring at him. "Are you alight Ieaun?" Was it really that amazing to meet the Professor? After all he wasn't that special. James said nothing, and the boy recovered soon enough.
"No James..." Bill started one more tme, raising his hand to stop the Professsor. Then he let his large plate sized hand fall to the table, his head resting atop of it.
The Professor was already running off towards the kitchen. "You can sit in here whikle you wait--and thank you for being polite enough to keep Bill and I company." Then the stove flared up, and he grabbed a variety of foodstuffs from the bag, whoch had magically appeared at his side.
A minute turned into ten, then thirty. Occasionally the Professor would sat someting--and soon after nearly half a hour, the food was finished. There was a plate of lasagna, half all cheese, meatless sauce and noodles. There was also a few kinds of boiled vegatables, and some white rice. The rest was for pokemon-- "Oh what to do you want to drink Ieaun? Ask Rink will you?" Bill could translate.

Ieuan sat down, and at the same time, metaphorically came back down to earth. The Professor was one of the people he admired the most, never actually seeing him at all until now he had heard only good things. He waited while the food cooked, and all this was very strange to Ieuan. He was just asking for diections and now he had all this stuff and was eating dinner with someone he'd just met, crazy! Ieuan smiled, Looking at Bill who despite looking somewhere else, it felt like he was looking at Ieuan. Ieuan, when asked what he'd like to drink, responded more casually then his old, skittery self. 'Oh,' he said, shrugging slightly 'I guess water will be fine.' He said smiling. He realised that Rink was out of the Poke'ball, somehow, and now sitting contented besides Ieuan's chair. Ieuan simpley shrugged towards Rink who answerd the question with a series of tiny, happy yelping sounds that only seemed to say 'yes'. that was not a very specific answer...

"You sure?" But even as he questioned the youth, he was already filling a large glass cup with tap water. The sound of water smashing into the sides of the metallic sink was loud, and more then a tad distracting. Much to the relief of the acute ears of Bill the Alakazam, the Professor turned off the tap. Then he yelled: "Bill?" "Black coffee--and chase it with green tea." James nodded, and at the same moment the lakazam raised himself from his chair, and walked into the kitchen. The osund of his large feet smacking the tiles was deafening.
Upon reachng the kitchen, the Alakazam grabbed a chair, ad then sat in the chair opposite Ieaun. "She said--tea." Not really--Bill had been paying no attention, not that James knew that.
James pulled out three paltes, and heaped his and Ieaun's with food. Then he grabbed Pills, and put a piece of lasagna and the mashed potatoes on it. Turning back towards te table, he giggled and pulled down another plate for Rink. This he filled with food as well. Then balancing all four plates unsteadily in his arms he walked precariously/cautiously towards the table. Then in a rush he laid the four plates down on the table; the smallest next to Ieaun. Using the heel of his foot he pulled out his own ciar, and plopped down into it with a quiet sigh. 'Well dig i--oops forks--" A drawer opened at the Alakazam's bidding, and both he and James started eating in silence.

Ieuan remained seated and sa upright, picking slightly at his food. He was hungry after the journy but the exitment sort of ruined his apitite, but he did not want to offend his hosts. He sighed a bit and started eating properly, starting with the vegitable, which were still rather hot. 'MMH!' Ieuan muffled, his mouth full of hot veggies, singing his very tastebuds off the tounge. He surpressed the urge to make a scene and chewed on, a sombre face throughout. With an agonising gulp he hope noone noticed. ''S good.' Ieuan said, his voice weezing slightly from the heat. He sipped his water to cool his mouth down and after a while started eating properly, this time without setting his mouth aflame. He continued to glance at the Alakazam, as it was (at least to Ieuan) a fine poke'mon.

"It's Hot." Bill mumbed , just as Ieaun let out a yowl. A smirk crawled across his muzzle. It was the perfect oppurtunity to make fun of the kid. "Although most do know that , about things that come off of stoves and such." This was basically Bill calling Ieaun a "moron", and idiotic to boot. Across the table the Professor narrowed his eyes slightly, but kept his mouth shut. Otherwise he might start laughing.
Lifting a loaded fork to his mouth, James blew on it to extinguish the steam, then he popped it in his mouth. The taste of lightly salted vegetables was like heaven to him. Then he repeated the process.
Bill started with the mashed potstoes. Somehow managing to look sophisitcating, even when eating a food made for those who couldn't chew.
Then the Alakazam turned to the boy, and narrowed his eyes. Bill was more then a tad on the paranoid side. "Please--stop staring, before I seal your eyes shut." With what? Super glue? No that was too barbaric, he would probably just apply psychic power to Ieaun's eyelids. Only if he kept staring--it was creeping the Pokemon out in more ways then one.
The Professor smiled. "Thank you--Bill usually cooks--but for being the one that burns soup I believe I did rather well today." He had never burned soup, just the meat inside of it. At least that was how he explained it to Bill.

Ieuan kept his head down now. eating slightly faster, embarresed at his burning of the mouth. It was relativly silent, and he was sure that Bill had caught on to his glimpses and had stopped actually looking in his general direction. He thought it would be best to avoid most contact at the moment. Ieuan managed to laugh at Bill, finaly, put politely after learning that Bill 'burns soup'. 'I can cook myself, aswell.' Ieuan started 'Both as a hobby and to stay alive.' He added, smileing. 'My father was really rather busy most days so i cooked for the two of us.' he concluded, taking another mouthfull of food. 'This is very good by the way.' He hastily added.

Bill went back to eating--now that he was sure the boy was not staring at him any longer. Although occasionally his paranoia would draw up prickles from the boy's direction, and he would glance up, eyes narrowed slightly. Each time the boy had his head down, and was in no way staring at him. So he ignored any more prickling sensations, and went about meticoulously eating his meal. Starng up occasionalyl to check Jame's progress. "Do not forget Belair--" Bill mentioned, the sneer on his face making ti obvious the two pokemon friends easily annoyed one another. "Twenty years and I never have--" James said quietly, shoveling another bite of vegatables into his mouth.
(James burns the soup--XD) The Professor listened with open ears, as Ieaun gave a bit of his family situation. "Well that's a good thing. After all you are going on aj ourney after all--waiting for osmeone else to cook would make for many hungry nights." He replied, keeping his amiable smile on through the entire statement. Then he nodded at the seocnd part.
The Professor disappeared under the table for a second or two. Both of his eyes stared into Rink's "You want to eat dear Rink?" Then he was abck in his chair, shoveling food into his mouth at a much quicker rate then before.

( ouches on me!) Ieuan, still eating, achknowlaged the things the professor was saying and nodding everytime he saida word. 'Uhu...' he repeated several times, nodding still. Ieuan was surprised and slightly confused at the professors dissapearnce under the table, and asking rink the question Rink once again chirped audiably illegible sounds as he did the ast question. 'I should point out i think Rink is still only a 'baby'... in pokemon ages anyway...' Ieuan said.

"Oh I should probably shut my mouth and let you eat." The Professor said bashfully, his hand tightening around his fork as he did so. A blush colored his cheeks, but was soon replaced by a look of shock as Bill spoke up: "If eating was all it took to make you quiet--I wouldn't be so skinny." After all he ignored James, and James kept on talking. That boy was a special one, he would start saying "uh-huh" from now on, and see if that did the trick when trying to keep James quiet.
After a moment of awkward silence, and the Professor looking encouragingly at Rink, Ieaun spoke up. "Ah--I knew that already. That doesn't mean she can't understand--and if she's hungry, thern feed her." Then the Professor's honey brown eyes glanced across the table at Bill. "I cannot understand what she is saying--it is all gibberish." So she was THAT young? Oh dear. I wonder if he can take care of her, baby pokemon are usually trouble. Especially the ones that you cannot understand. Who knew if they were hungry, thirsty, or tired? It took someone who had worked years with pokemon to understand them--but...she had choosen to follow Ieaun, so she couldn't be completely innocent of comprehensible thought.

'You can't understand?' Ieuan said to Bill. 'I thought you were psychic...' Ieuan got out of his seat and squatted down to Rinks level, and opened his mouth to speak. 'Hungry?' He said, tilting his head in a resceptive fashion. After a while he got up. 'Yep, she's hungry.' Ieuan declared getting back in his seat. 'She always lifts her head slightly higher then useual when she's hungry.' He explained, a satisfied smile on his face. He began eating again, and looked up to see the proffesor locked in perpetual thought. 'Is there something wrong, James?' He asked politley.

"I do not want to watse my time with baby talk--and I haven't brushed up on my mind reading skills in a while." The Aexasperated Alakazam replied with a sigh, and a look on his face that made it look as if the above was the most obvious statement in the world. Which it was to Bill. After all Mind-reading took a lot of work, and with tainers calling out commands during battle it was more then a bit pointless.
The Professor gestured to the smaller plate of food beside Ieaun. "That's for her then. Lay it on the ground." Any Pokemon, hopefully, knew how to feed themselves. Then he listened as Ieaun stated how he knew that the young pokemon was hungry. When Ieaun was finsished he mused quietly: "Interesting. It must be a close connection for you to pick up on something small like that." The Professor laughed at the inquiry: "No--I was just tinking--Go back to eating, Route 1 is hard, and will likely take you a while. So you should rest while youc an..." Oh there he went talking the poor boy to death again, only the first part had been required to answer his question. DAMN!

Ieuan layed down the small plate on the floor for Rink to eat from as he listened to the professor answer his question, at least to the point where he abruptly stopped. 'No please, go on!' Ieuan said, recognising all the signs that told said James was afraid of boring him, Ieuan didn't mind though because he thought he would need all the help he could get. 'Oh, before you continue, actually, because Rink is still a child will that be any sort of problem?'

Bill rolled his eyesm as Ieaun told the Professor to continue talking. Suck up--does he not realize how wonderful it is to have James quiet? Such a rare occasion too. The Alakazam didn't mind his friend talking, he just liked it when he was quiet. But of course the boy hadn't taken the blessing for what it was, and had encouraged further vocal activity from the Professor.
James took the invitation with a smile. "Because if you don't--well you won't be rested enough to make it all the way through the route in one go. That means you have to sleep in the open. The Pokemon are extremely dangerous at night--and much more aggressive." Of course the higher leveled ones liked night time, that was when all their children were asleep and they could do as they pleased. Then he paused: "You know how to work all of the gadgets and such right? If not when you leave, press the green button on the side of both. It will give you a tutorial." It was done in a voice similiar to Bills, but obviously electronic.

'Oh okey then, i'll be sure to check that out!' He said, flipping oped his 'Dex' and examining it, then closing it again 'Thats 'jam hot'. he exclaimed. He put it with the rest of his items and looked up to see Bill, obviously pondering about somthing, much like Ieuan did some times. He ignored this and turned to James. 'So, yeah, James...' He started 'I don't actually have any pokeballs...' He said awkwardly.

"Jam hot--who eats hot jam?" The Professor inquird, cocking his head to the right, and blinking. Kids and their odd phrases--across the table Bill looked just as unimpressed with the praise for the expensive piece of technology as well. But they both shook their heads after am inute. No point, in leanring new phrases, they change them to keep us old folks guessing. James conceded, besides the boy's explanation would probably make little sense.
Now they were on the topic of what the new trainer was missing for his journey. "Ah--the bag I'll give you on the way out has those as well." He had made sure to tell the boy about the bag right? The starter pack? Somehow he didn't think he had. His memory was excellent, it mustn't have seemed important at the time. The Professor stuffed another forkful of food into his mouth.
tThus ten minutes, turned to twenty, as all the meals were finished(hope ya don't mind), and the Professor nodded toward the front door. "Well that's hte way to your new journey Ieaun--be sure to grab the forest green backpack on your way out." Was it jsut the Professor or was James smirking? (Sorry--it's lacking)
