The sun was high in the sky, varnishing the perfect blue that could be seen horizon to horizon. The foot steps of Kai Spruce, now an official professor of Pokémon were heard as he walked up to the front door of Professor Elm's lab in New Bark Town. He had travelled Johto a few days ago, to study the aspects of the certain types of Pokémon that could be found here and to visit a friend, a very special friend. Professor Elm was Spruce's idol when he was younger, He gave Spruce a PokéBall to catch his first Pokémon, and gave Spruce help when he started his research.

Spruce smiled, looking up at the lab. He leant in to the door handle, taking a firm grasp of it as he started to open it. Suddenly, as he creaked the door open a small child came running out. "Thanks Professor El- !!" The child shouted back at Professor Elm, but before he could finish his sentence, he mouth was embedded into Spruce's white leather jacket. The child immediately flew back, gasping. "S- Sorry!!" he spoke, and he started running again, passing by Spruce's side on running towards Cherrygrove.

Spruce was now in the Lab, Elm's face emitted a smile and his hand moving about extremely enthusiastically to indicate a wave. Spruce stepped across the clean tiles of the lab, Elm's assistants mumbling about who he was. Spruce spoke out "Profes-", but before he could finish there was another interruption. Noctowl flew out of its PokéBall, and glided at Elm. Seconds later, Noctowl was fluttering in front of Elm, crying out with happiness.
"It's good to see you too Noctowl!" shouted Elm, slightly intimidated by the Pokémon. Spruce laughed, looking at the man who he had idolised for so many years. "Let's say hello guys!" shouted out into the room, grabbing his pokéballs all at once and launching them into the air. Colours and cries burst throughout the room as Spruce's Pokémon came out to greet Elm. Blissey landed softly by Elm's side, calming down Noctowl. Alakazam stood levitating in the corner of the room, analysing every aspect he saw. The last of Spruce's Pokémon was Ninetails, who elegantly walked from Spruce's side up to Elm to greet him.

Spruce knew that this was a good start, a good start to a whole new life.
