Maybe it would be better to stay outside! Of course, that doesn't mean you can't have a little peek! You sprint out of the trees and up the path, and grab the door just before it closes. With one deep breath you step inside.
The hall is dark and cool. Ahead you hear footsteps and as you approach you can see the human boy walking down another hall with Onlion. You follow the two of them until they walk into a room where a tall man in a white labcoat is typing on a computer. When they enter the room, the tall man looks up. "Oh, Joe Apple. How did my Onlion prototype perform during its field test?"
Joe Apple? That must be the human boy's name!
"Great, Professor Plumtree!" Joe pats Onlion's head. "It was just like having a mon of my own!"
Onlion walks to a lab table and hops up on it, then lies down and closes its eyes. Professor Plumtree connects a thin cable to the back of Onlion's head until it clicks into place. "It will take a few hours to download all the data we've collected about the various mons in this area."
Joe leans in and looks closely at the back of Onlion's head. "Are there lots of mons around here, Professor?"
"Many types of mon are native to this area, but there's one very rare species of mon that isn't found anywhere else!" Professor Plumtree looks up from his computer across the room toward Joe. "The Cutémon! To tell you the truth, I built my research laboratory here because I was hoping to find a Cutémon to study! You might say it's an obsession of mine!"
You duck out of sight and gasp. They're talking about you!
"Are Cutémons a special type of mon, Professor?"
When you hear Joe's voice you peek back out and Professor Plumtree continues.
"Special? My boy, they're the most special mon of all! Such lovely figures! Those thin legs, those smooth tummies, those... is it any wonder mankind has been interested in cataloging and breeding them for years?"
"What does that mean, Professor?"
"It..." The Professor seems to notice Joe for the first time. "I'll tell you when you're older!"
