Chapter 2: A New Journey Begins! - Ashley
''Well, I'm afraid you should ask the Professor about that. She's right over there, you see?'' the AID said.
Ashley looked, wanting to check if the girl was still talking with the Professor. Fortunately, the girl was gone, and so was the tall cyan-haired guy. ''Alright, thank you, sir! I'll go ask her.'' so replied Ashley, walking towards the professor immediately.
''Excuse me, are you Professor Redwood?''
The Professor looked up, somewhat surprised. ''Ah, another visitor? Are you from the wrecked ship too, perhaps?''
''Yes, madam. I was wondering if I could use the phone?''
Professor Redwood seemed confused. ''The phone? Oh, you mean the computer I had to take from the Pokémon Center? Why of course, but.. you probably won't be able to reach anyone out of this island.''
Now Ashley was the one slightly confused. ''What? Really?'' That made her kind of sad, she wouldn't be able to tell her family what had happened.. She hoped they wouldn't worry about her. ''... Then it's no use.. I'm sorry to have wasted your time, Professor. Let's go, Sabure. We're on our own now!''
''I beg your pardon? This Vibrava is your only Pokémon?'' The Professor's expression went from surprised to somewhat worried. ''Is that right?''
''.. Well, yes, madam. Why do you ask? My Sabure is very strong!'' Ashley said, taking Sabure from her head and showing him to the Professor.
''I believe that, seeing he already evolved from a Trapinch. But wouldn't you like having another Pokémon with you, in case Vibrava got hurt?''
Ashley thought about that for a while. It WOULD be nice to have a new friend with her! Sabure broke free of her grip, flew around enthusiastically and landed on her head yet again. It seems he completely agreed. ''If that's okay, that would be great!''
The Professor smiled, and turned around to walk to a closet in which loads of Pokéballs were lying. ''I'm not giving it to you for free though.'' she said, picking a Pokéball and walking back to Ashley. ''I want you to study this Pokémon's behaviour, okay? Make notes of what it does throughout the day, and mail me your findings. That way, you'll have a new Partner, and you'll help me with my research at the same time! I just sent out two more people with new Pokémon to study, too. Maybe you could go together.''
Ashley nodded and curiously took the Pokémon. ''Thank you very much, madam! Then, I'll be going now.'' Ashley turned around, walking straight to the door.
''Be sure to mail me!'' the Professor stated once more.
