Marvalo was surrounded by people taller than him, all pushing against each other, trying to make the line move faster. Although he was scowling, attempting to gain some authority on the crowd of people, he was actually scared that someone bigger than him would push into him and that it would lead to disastrous consequences. The boy brushed his smooth hair off of his sapphire eyes and attempted to peer through the people in front of him so he could see the people nearly running out in happiness from the laboratory, overjoyed at the prospect of having a Pokemon of their own. The ten year old contemplated on taking out his camera and taking a few pictures, but decided against it, just in case someone knocked into him and his camera ended up worse for wear.
Marvalo looked in front of him, there seemed to be a girl at the top of the crowd beside the laboratory doors who seemed pretty enough. He wondered if she had sweet talked her way to get up the front, with girls, you never knew. The door opened and Marvalo (along with dozens of other children) stood on tip toe to get a closer look at the famous professor. Elm, from Marvalo's prospective, was a tad bit more plump than the boy would've though, and the glasses the man wore were much bigger than they seemed on television. The man surveyed the crowd and mumbled to himself, but at that moment in time, everyone had stopped pushing and the ones that were talking had stopped chatting amongst themselves so nearly everybody there (well, the ones that were paying attention anyways) were able to hear what Elm said, "There seems to be a lot of kids today." Once the professor realised everyone had heard him, he opened the door a bit more and allowed a few people to pass through into the laboratory. "I am only allowing thirty people inside, the rest of you will have to wait a while."
Marvalo realised he was not lucky enough to be one of the thirty people that were close enough to the laboratory to be allowed in, but he did know that he was small and he was smart, so why shouldn't he make himself part of the thirty people? The kid began pushing through people, allowing his ego to inflate as he knew that one person that would have been allowed in would now sadly have to wait an hour or two before acquiring his or her first Pokemon. Marvalo pushed past a tanned girl and a ginger boy before seeing the door in front of him. He silently congratulated himself on the feat but didn't allow anyone to see that he was pretty happy with himself as he walked into what seemed to be a waiting room. People seemed to have been told to sit down, so Marvalo followed suit, feeling pretty superior to the people stranded on the outside.
