OoC: I'm going to make a reference to the same mushroom Mushy referenced in her lab post. XD Just so you know.
BiC:
It was understandable that Nav was excited. It was, after all, his very first pokemon (well, not counting the swinub, but he had gotten that from the nice lady for being the something number visitor to Kylah), and the official start of his pokemon journey.
Predictably, he had given no fore-thought to what pokemon he wanted, or even what pokemon were available. The only fore-thought he had given to anything was that he wanted it to be an ice-type. Hopefully they did have ice-types, or he'd have to start out all wrong.
Reaching the lab, the small boy knocked on the door, then rocked back on his heels to wait. For a full three seconds he waited for the door to open, before he couldn't stand still any longer and he glanced around. Spotting something interesting, he appeared next to it, and pulled it up out of the ground.
A mushroom. He wondered if it was the edible kind, even though he didn't really like mushrooms. Maybe he'd ask whoever opened the door. Sticking the small fungus in his pocket, he ran back to the door and knocked again.
And again. and again.

(xD Well she won't be scared when she leaves.)
A woman opened the door. She smiled at him, but then a thoughtful look crossed her face. "Something looks different out here. Oh well. Anyway, how may I help you? I'm Molly the Professor here. You're probably here for a pokemon. Aren't you?"

Wondering if maybe he shouldn't have pulled up the mushroom, he decided not to ask this particular lady. He'd ask the next person he saw, who probably wouldn't be upset that he had pulled it up out of the ground.
Shifting his weight from foot to foot, Nadav nodded. "Yup, a pokemon. My name's Nadav, but everyone calls me Nav, and I'm from Kanto, my brother's a painter there, his name is Bane and he's the best brother in the world, but he doesn't want to be a pokemon trainer like me, so he's still in Kanto, but I'm here to get a pokemon, do you have any ice pokemon?" All of this was said very fast, and in one breath. If he had listened to himself, he probably wouldn't have understood a word he said.

"Well it's nice to meet you Nad--- Nav. Wow. You're from Kanto? I'm from Sinnoh. I've never been to Kanto. I've heard it's a great place to live. Ok. Yes, we have ice pokemon, but first please come in," she said, opening the door wider. She walked back inside, waiting for him to come in.

Nav's eyes wandered all over the place as he followed her inside, and he had to exert every bit of self-control he had to avoid running over to anything that faintly resembled something interesting. Which was everything. "Dad said it was the best place to bring up a family. We didn't live near any ice pokemon, except for this old man who had a jinx. The jinx was mean though, it didn't like me. Bane said it was because I poked it with a stick once, but I don't remember doing that." He failed to mention he forgot most of the 'naughty' things he did.
At least he was innocent enough that those 'naughty' things were minor, childish, transgressions.
"I've never been to Sinnoh. Or Johto. Or Hoenn. This is the first time I've been to Kylah. I think I want to go to Johto next. I'm going to train an ice team, and Bane says if I actually do, I should go against the ice gym in Johto, so I'm going to. You think that's a good idea? It should be, Bane came up with it." Turning his roving eyes back to the professor he tried to ignore the numerous gleaming machines just begging him to press buttons on.

Molly nodded her head as he spoke. He seemed to know exactly what he wanted to do with his life. That was good. "Yeah, I like that idea. More importantly... Do you like the idea? So you like ice types? Do you want to to choose that type for your starter?"

Nav blinked, wondering if he was supposed to answer all of those questions. Deciding it couldn't hurt, he grinned and nodded. "Yea, I like that idea. Right now anyways, I might not later. But I do want to train ice types, because those are the best type of pokemon. So yes, I want that for my starter. Please?" Although manners had never been his strong suit, saying please seemed to work alot at home. Maybe it worked on Molly too!
Suddenly serious, a most odd expression on his usual cheerful face, he asked, "...Um, it won't be a swinub, will it? Because this lady gave me a swinub when I got off the ship because she said it was a prize for being a visitor to Kylah. I think it was like, the thousandth. I don't know, because I wasn't really paying attention, because the swinub was trying to climb up my leg. Only it couldn't, so I picked her up instead. Wanna see her? Her name is Abby."

"Ok. I can't gurantee you won't get a Swinub. It's picked at random by a machine," she said. Just as she was about to go get her pokemon, he spoke. Her face paled, and sank into a nearby chair. "Didn't you know? You're not allowed to bring other pokemon here and have them. Oh god, now what can I do? I can't take your Swinub from you. It's yours. But you aren't allowed to have any pokemon." She stood up and faced him. "I'll let you keep Abby, but if anyone asks where you got her tell them you found and caught her here. I could get in serious trouble if people found out." Molly turned around, and left the room. She must be going to get his starter.

"Oh." Nav was about to say something else when she spoke, and his eyes widened, his mouth momentarily still. "Oh! Right, I caught her here! Right after you gave me the starter! Right?" But she was already gone into the back room. That was alright though-Nav was a good liar.
He was a little, mischievous, boy after all. He wouldn't have gotten away with half the things he'd done without lying. The only person he didn't lie to (or who was the most adept at catching him when he did) was Bane. It ought to be easy to do something like that, so long as Abby didn't go and give herself away. He'd make sure she knew.
Well, the experience ought to make him pay more attention to rules.

Molly returned holding a pokeball and a starter pack. She handed him a starter pack. "The pokemon that was picked at random was Sneasel. Would you like to keep it?" she asked.

After taking the starter pack, and deciding he'd rifle through it later, he nodded at Molly. "Yup! Sneasle is cool!" At least, he thought it was. He actually didn't really remember which pokemon it was, beyond the fact it was an ice-type. But since he liked all of those, it didn't really bother him. He figured he'd find out soon enough.

Nav took the pokeball with a large grin, hugging it to him. "Thank you! Thank you lots!" On a sudden impulsion he hugged the professor and nearly fell over as he headed for the door. His adventure had finally started!
The was slight guilt when he remembered he had her mushroom in her pocket, but it was only a single second of memory. It was just a mushroom after all.

She looked stunned for a moment, but she smiled as he left. He was a nice boy. She waved goodbye, and closed the door after he left.
