Enter: Ultern's Pokemon Professor!
EARLY MORNING - THE BANYAN RESIDENCE
[There's a welcoming scent of coffee wafting through the air. It seems to be coming from the lone home in the middle of the route as the windows are left open. The sun was only starting to rise, painting the surrounding scenery with reds and oranges, as the waves create a gentle splashing sound.
The person within the home seemed to not be big on security, as the front door at the front deck of the home was propped wide open with a rocking chair. Unsurprisingly there's a Pokemon perched on top of it--a yellow skinned Chikorita that could be easily mistaken for a shiny one, if it weren't for the fact its leaf was green. Perhaps it was there to soak up the light from the rising sun.
Not soon after, a man--barefoot, and not quite yet dressed for the day will step out onto the deck with a mug of coffee in hand.]
Ah, another wonderful morning. Don't ya think, Chikorita?
[The professor grinned wide while taking in the seaside view.]
MORNING - OUT IN THE YARD
[You know what's the best thing to do in the mornings? GARDENING!
The Pokemon Professor of this region--Professor Banyan is seen with his signature sunglasses, and straw hat already on along with a pair of gardening gloves. His iconic white lab coat is nowhere to be seen on his person so it wouldn't be a surprise if anyone mistook him as some ordinary gardener.
He's watering the flowers, and other plants in the yard (that wasn't fenced off) before turning his attention to the grass type Pokemon who congregated around him. He has a Sprinklotad in hand as he smiled wide.]
Now don't push! I've got plenty of water for everyone!
AFTERNOON - SEASIDE TRAIL
[Professor Banyan, the Pokemon Professor of this region will be out and about on the beach. He could be find doing the following:
►Sitting on the beach, seemingly relaxing. Who wouldn't want to take a moment to kick back and soak up the sun when the weather is nice and sunny? For whatever reason there's a Staryu that's laying right next to him, no doubt also sunbathing.
►Taking notes of the surrounding Pokemon! He has a notepad in hand, with his gaze set on a pair of Tentacool happily swaying along with the waves, to a nearby Sandygast that sat on the sand where a curious little Pikachu with brown paws, and a light colored belly sniffed at it.
In fact he might even approach any nearby Trainer who had their Pokemon out of their Pokeball with his eyes lighting up with intrigue and interest despite being hidden behind his sunglasses.
►Out training or really, playing with his Pokemon as Professor Banyan, still out on the sandy beach is now seen with a trio of Pokemon - a yellow skinned Chikorita, the brown pawed, light colored belly Pikachu, and Staryu. There’s a confident smirk on his face.]
Alright, are you three ready?
[He’s holding what’s clearly a sparkly ball in his hand.]
The one to get this the fastest wins! Here goes!
[He’ll be seen winding up his left arm before throwing the ball as far as he could across the beach. In an instant Pikachu and Chikorita dashed through the sand leaving Banyan alone with Staryu. Noticing this, he chuckled before kneeling next to Staryu to place a hand upon it.]
They’re getting faster, aren’t they?

(🌺Feel free to choose any of the prompts to interact with Professor Banyan! He's more than happy to upgrade any trainer's Pokedex, or even hand one out to those who ask!🌺)
no subject
Oh, he could socialize by wiggling his head around maybe!
His big tusks make his head a little heavy, though, so he falls off-balance, but Iris quickly catches him!]
Axew! What are you doing? Be careful…
That Pokemon’s from the Johto region, right? It looks a little different, though. Is it a regional thing?
no subject
...Ah, yeah. Old records did say people from a faraway region brought Chikorita over to this place, and over time have adapted to the region's environment. Which is why they end up looking like that instead, compared to the Johtonian Chikorita.
[Meanwhile Chikorita remains oblivious to Banyan's shift in expression and just happily circles around Iris and Axew.]
Say, uh... Ya mind mentioning where ye're from? Just curious.
no subject
Axew didn’t seem to notice either, happily playing with Chikorita, he only stopped when he noticed Iris’ posture change.]
Axew? [Just picking up on the change in Iris and then, in Banyan. Axew didn’t really get it, but watched them both, wondering what happened.
Iris appreciated the shift in subject, maybe it’ll be a more pleasant subject for him! And it’ll be less difficult for her to navigate too, maybe it was like what Cilan said about how some people have things they’d rather not discuss… but she wasn’t sure if it was or if it wasn’t!]
The Unova region, Professor. Did something happen…?
no subject
It's way too early for this beautiful morning he's having. Banyan wasn't sure how to go through explaining the situation she's in, and takes another big sip of his coffee before continuing.]
Hmm, Unova huh? I hear a lot of good things 'bout that place. Especially the Pokemon there.
[Here's hoping a casual conversation would perhaps lighten the blow before he drops the bombshell at her.]
...This might sound strange, kid. But what's the last thing you remember before coming here?
no subject
Umm, I was training with Gym Leader Clair in Blackthorn City!
[Oh, he must not want to talk about it, he’s sticking to the Unova subject! So, Iris will happily serve as a distraction (that’s her understanding of the situation so far.)
Iris gathered Axew into her arms to cheer it up.]
no subject
[Boy. He really didn't want to do this, but he couldn't keep this sweet girl and her Axew in the dark. He's glanced down to his coffee mug while contemplating it's contents.]
From what I've heard, that's pretty far from Unova ain't it?
no subject
[She certainly a free spirit who loves to explore!]
no subject
So, ya got to see a lot of Pokemon during your journey, huh? Sounds lovely. I like seeing new Pokemon myself.
[He then paused before glancing over to both Iris and Axew. His Chikorita still oblivious is happily cheering up at the two. He couldn't help but smile a little at that.]
You'll get to see a lot of new Pokemon in Ultern too. Ya might make some new friends while yer at it.
no subject
I get the feeling I'm going to love it here in Ultern! [Said with a confident puff of her chest!
At the mention of friends, Iris felt only a tiny bit insecure, deflating a bit and holding her hands shyly. She didn't exactly have the easiest time making new friends... but, she had to go out and try, right? Besides, she'll get to see new sights and meet new Pokemon, even if she couldn't easily befriend other people, right?]
I'd better go take a look around, then. See you later, Professor...?
[Name please, Banyan, sir!]
no subject
Was she already feeling homesick? Worried about the friends she was taken from? He had no answers for that as he couldn't read her mind.
He offered a kind smile to Iris as he spoke in response.]
The name's Banyan. Professor Banyan. Don't ya forget, if ya ever need anything I'm around.
[sorry for the delay! ;3;]
Aaaxew-axeww!!
[Perhaps to make up for looking so insecure earlier, she waved with her whole arm and practically shouted her goodbyes, Axew following suit. It's nice to have at least one place to return to here, right?]
Thank you for everything!!
[And with that, she took her leave.]
