Professor Birch

The professor stood in the tech lab doorway, thin black glasses edging down the bridge of his nose as he scolds Jay. The salt and pepper black hair matches his black and white lab outfit and his gun grey clipboard

"I'm.. so sorry Professor, I was just.." Jay stumbles in explaining.

A smirk on the professor breaks his scold as he interjects ".. Oh, you were just giving it to a world class champion over a healing bay..?"

".. A broken healing bay." Remy chimes in with glum satisfaction. Birch's eyes roll - "That's two now Jay? These girls might be in more danger in your healing pods than in the arena."

The guys laugh it up, but Jay just brushes their insults away, climbing back down to his repairs. Professor Birch nods, turning to Remy. "Actually.. Remy, I wanted to ask if you could do a field call.. an HP training machine needs to be reconfigured for an important new host."

A somewhat strange request from his normal tasks, he asks "OK.. isn't that a job for Training Services though?" Birch sighs starts of the explination, "Those fools can't figure out the new model and we really need it ASAP. Would you mind?"

"Sure thing.. Jay, think you can wheel that healing pod back to the warehouse without setting it on fire?" Jay pulls back his hair as if thinking deeply, "... I promise nothing." He says over a straight face. Remy nods in agreement before packing up for a field config. The professor hands him a bag with some items in it - a pack of spicy orange Figy Berries, a Pink Bow item and one special pokeball that he had never seen before, black and silver with a golden inscription..

"What's all this for?" the technician asks, weighing the Trainer kit in his hands. Its just like the ones in the movies, a red bag and thick leather strap. The professor simply commanded "It's a package that you will bring along."

"Sir, I could get in big trouble if someone caught me with Pokeballs, I'm.. um, not licensed.." he started tripping over his words a bit with concern. The older professor gestures by waving it off as if its not an issue, "Anyone stops you, you just tell them I sent you with them." After a moment of hesitation - Remy nods, not entirely sure what he wants to do with them but excited to even have them near.

He grabs his pokedex, bags and tool kit to head downstairs. Professor Birch wishes him the best of luck as he begins to head down the long, dark staircase.
