Pokemon Field Researcher

The girl was still busy fussing over herself as you introduced herself, but when she came to the realization that you were just a girl like her, she finally came back to earth. Swallowing what may have been nervousness, the girl got around to introducing herself.

"Um...h-hi. I-I'm Catherine. I just uh...graduated from my pokemon school. I'm an early one though, teachers thought I was too talented and smart for school and allowed me to do field work."

You blinked in surprise at that...well, you expected a nerdy type, but not this nerdy! You let out an impressed whistled, "Wow...You're a real smart cookie then, aren't you? Or did you have to do a few...favors in order to get out, mmmm?" You give her a knowing, lascivious look. The girl reacted as expected.

Catherine's face went as red as a tomato and shook her head, "No, no, no, no! Nothing like that! It was purely academical, I assure you!"

I'm hoping to become a bonified pokemon researcher myself...maybe do some breeding on the side to help fund my research."

Ignoring that, you come to the realization that she could become rather useful. Someone this smart about pokemon could help you understand pokemon better and get better results out of them, maybe even give you a direction of where to go in order to help better your team or develop strategy. But first, what was her problem earlier?

You asked her again if she was lost, to which she shook her head, "N-no...It's just that, well...I want to go to Cerulean to start my research projects that would allow me to become a real researcher. But...well...the problem is..." She blushed again as she reached behind herself and pulled out a single pokeball.

"I...only got one pokemon. And I'm not much of a trainer, I just can't come to letting pokemon fight without it being absolutely necessary. And I heard about how dangerous Mt. Moon is...so..."
