Sleepwalkin' [MOD]

[lennie]

The sun was slowly descending behind the horizon, Bathing New Bark town in it's orange light. Most people was on their way home from their various errands and the few shops set up in town were closing up. Leon wandered through the small town, apathetically looking at the people with half-closed eyelids. His posture was a model's nightmare, His upper body was slumped over with his back arched as if he were carrying something heavy. His steps were somewhat staggering as if he wasn't expecting the ground to be there. He had tucked his hands into his pockets and pulled up the hood of his shirt to shield his tired eyes from the blinding light outside, It both looked and felt like he was sleepwalking. He would rather not look himself in the mirror, knowing perfectly well that he would look horrible. Two sleepless nights in a row wasn't good for his health. This wasn't thefirst occaison it had happened and altough he felt like shit right now he would finally get a peaceful night's sleep. He seriously considered finding a ench to sleep on but if he fell asleep right now he would be late. He didn't know exactly when the lab closed but conidering most people were already heading home he estimated that there shouldn't be much time left.

He didn't have a lot planned out which was unlike him. His plan was basically; Get pokemon, catch pokemon, beat gym, catch pokemon, beat gym and so on. He didn't even know for sure what kind of pokemon the lab haded out. He assumed that it was the Johto starters. Chikorita, Cyndaquil and Totodile. He hoped that they offered some kind of Dark-type too but if they didn't that was fine too. He could just use the starter until he was able to catch a dark-type or somthing like that. He was too tired of think abou that right now.

Without really noticing it he found himself outside the lab. He sheepishly looked up at the building as if he were seeing a mirage. He quickly snapped out of it knowing that he must look insane. He cautiously pushed down the handle and pulled. Much to his surprise it was open. Filled with childish glee he stepped inside only to find that the room was empty. His happiness immiedeatly diminished. Had he been late after all? Maybe everyone had left but someone had forgotten to lock the door. He tried to choke back his yawn as he looked around. " Is anyone here?"

[/color] he called out cautiously. He didn't want to be mistaken for a criminal.[/size][/blockquote]

Today had been an excellent day for research! the Professor had spent a majority of his time out in the field studying and observing the wild Pokemon in their natural habitat, taking notes of their behaviors. He had been a little surprised when a rather small Pidgey had hopped right up to him and started pecking at his clipboard. Infact, he was astounded by it's boldness and how fearless it was to be in the presence of a human when most pokemon would have fled the scene in a heartbeat. He was intrigued by it and even went so far as to offer it a couple of the berries that he kept in his satchel, that way it would know that he meant it no harm. Throughout the day the little Pidgey followed him around from field to field, hopping on it's little talons, following closely behind him as he observed and took notes in various other areas.

He had been so caught up with his work, and with interacting with the Pidgey, who was quite persistent and attention starved, that he hadn't even noticed that the sun had started to set. The sky was painted in a medley of pinks, oranges and purples, a beautiful sight indeed.

"I must be off, my friend.

[/color]" He told the Pidgey, his lips curving into a small smile as he offered it the last of the berries that he had brought with him and started on the trek back to the lab where he would document his research on the computer before heading home for the night.

Once he got back to the lab he was only there for a good 15 minutes before he heard a noise coming from the entryway. Glancing up from the computer he noticed a boy standing in the doorway, a little late for visitors, wasn't it? But nonetheless the Professor pushed himself away from the computer and offered the boy a friendly smile.

"Why hello! Are you here for a Starter pokemon?[/color]" He paused, "It's getting late, isn't it? I was just about to head home, I'm glad you came when you did.[/color]"[/size][/blockquote]
