She had been staring at the door for a minute now, and it was likely that Sarah was going to continue staring at it for a minute or so more. She was doing this instead of knocking because of the list pinned on the door, those six Pokemon that she was allowed to choose from. It was a fine list of choices, that was for sure... her problem was, she didn't know which one to choose.
Sighing, she pinched the bridge of her nose and continued to think. She knew only basic information about the six... perhaps the people working in the lab would tell her more. 'It would certainly get me further than sitting out here trying to remember information from an obscure website...'
With that decision in mind, she rapped the door three times, each knock progressively louder than the last one.

At the point in time that Sarah had knocked, James wasn't in fact at the lab. He was busy, doing fieldwork, so didn't come to the door. However, his Alakazam, Bill, did hear the knocks progressively louder at the door. Standing up from his Rubix cubes, Bill walked over to the door. Pausing for a moment, he opened it. Seeing Sarah at the door, he shrugged.
"Can I help you Miss?" The Alakazam asked. "Proffessor Mahogany isn't here right now, but he'll be back pretty soon. You want a cup of tea?" He was trying to be polite at least.
(Bah, museless.)

"Oh..." She looked just a bit facefallen, but considering the Alakazam was inviting her in, it was likely that he would be back eventually. That thought in mind, she tried to get the dissapointed expression off her face.
"Tea? Er... do you have Green tea? I don't drink the black kind..." A matter of personal choice, and the fact that she preferred things that didn't need copious amounts of additives.
"My name is Sarah..." Considering that Bill was being polite, she ought to try as well. "...could I come in?"

(Shana said admin's and other staff can play Mahoghany when she is not on.) "He'll be back soon." Bill replied trying his best to cheer up the young girl. He let out a good natured smile and backed away from the door so the girl could come in. Yet any length of time away from his puzzles was a time to much. "I never liked the black tea much.Green it is."
He preferred not to leave his pile for long; with a swish of his hand a small box of tea fell from the cupboard.Concentrating he was able to extract a packet of tea and put ti in his cup of warm water. He had been planning to drink some himself. In my field of work sacrifices must be made
"New Pokemon eh?" He asked gesturing the girl to sit. His eyes fell on a dirty and somewhat mussed up figure running down the path toward them.

Sarah nodded, walking in at the Alakazam's movement. Her eyes darted about, examining the interior of the lab. For a moment, her eyes rested on the pile of rubix cubes, and she suppressed a smile; she did enjoy those things, although she'd never been able to finish one. They were great replacements for paper tearing when it came to her fidgeting.
She took a seat, watching the psychic creation of the Green tea. Boy, Pokemon can do some really awesome things...
"Ye...yeah. I've been looking forward to today..." And fretting about it like... like... like some metaphorical thing that fretted a lot. In short, she was downright nervous about it and trying not to screw up somehow.
She glanced out the door, seeing the figure. "Is that the Professer?"

Most of your kind are." The alakazam replied as he began fussing with a rather complcated rubix cube. Yet in a few minutes it lay organized and completed next to the rest. A flash of anger crossed his face as he realized that some of the older ones had been shuffled. JAMES! He thought angrily as he stood closed the door in the professor's ace.
With a sigh he remembered the professor had a key.With a click the disheveled professor walked into the room a warm smile on his face. He knew that Bill had discovered his little rubix cube trick. "So miss been waiting long? Have any idea of what pokemn you wish to have?" He asked pulling some grass out of his hair. Those grass pokemon could sure be angry. The six pokeballs levitated in the air before their pedastals.
Small 3-d sculptures of them were displayed.

The girl winced as the door slammed shut, leaving her tense for a few seconds. She watched as it opened again, due to the Proffesser's keeping of a key... it was nice to know he wasn't too absentminded.
She stood up out of the chair rather quickly. "No, I just got here a little while ago..." She nodded her head in some sort of partial bow, and let her eyes trail to the six hovering Pokeballs.
"I don't know a lot about these six Pokemon, actually... just really simple information I read somewhere..." She looked at the limbless bulb; those were supposed to get really powerful... but she wasn't out for a battling tank. The canine with fiery wings looked cute, but she didn't know anything beyond that, and the speedy water Pokemon had a rather odd appearance.
She knew a bit more about the Kanto natives; she had an interest in Bulbasaur, as well as in Charmander. Especially in Charmander, because she had a liking for the more draconic Pokemon. But...
"I like Charmander... but I've heard that they get to be really stand-offish once they evolve... is that a norm for them, or does it depend on the Charmander?"

Professor Mahoghany smiled at the normal questions. He pondered for a moment before replying. "Not always, it truly depends on the pokemon.Although if you want to see the charamander I currently have I would be delighted to show you. If you believe it would help you of course."
In truth the professor was tired from talking to trainers all day. Yet this meant he had less pokemon to take care of until his next outing. He would have showed the girl the charizard that ran his pokeballs back and forth but he was currently on his break.

"That would be nice... thank you." Yet again there was that partial bow, as if she was trying to be formal and not formal at the same time.
It seemed good idea to meet her potential partner before choosing. After all, she didn't want to pick it, only to find that it was a sort that ate large amounts of food or slept all day, after all!
If not, there were five other choices she could check out. She glanced at the floating statues, considering what a second choice would be as she thought of what she remembered about Charmander.

The professor smiled and pulled the pokeball from its pedestal. A push of a button later and the small orange pokemon looked up at the potential trainer. Deciding this one was safe he nodded at the young girl.
"You can pick him up if you wish to miss. I am pretty sure he won't harm you." James said.He remembered when a wealthier childs parent had sued him when a bulbasaur smacked him.Although you do not kick the poor thing.Lets just say he left the lab by air.

Sarah had to resist being a bit too affectionate, but she bent down and looked closely at the Charmander. It looked like it would be a good partner.
"I think I've chosen." She smiled a bit at the reptillian Pokemon and extended a hand. "It's nice to meet you."
She had decided at some point in her life that if she were to get a pokemon, she should treat it like she'd treat a person; it just seemed right, considering they were as smart as any person at times... even more, she decided, with a wayward glance at the pile of rubix cubes.
