"Welcome to Goldenrod Adoption Agencies!" the clerk at the front desk says with a smile as I walk through the front door, "You're here because of the advertisement in last week's news, correct?"
It sounds as if I'm not the first one to drop by the office to check out the Espeon twins being put up for adoption today. "Yes I am," I nod, "How'd you know that?"
"We've had people pouring in and out all day asking to check them out!" she laughs, shrugging her shoulders, "It just seems like no one's been up to our standards yet! Hopefully you can be the one who changes that, though!" She gives me a quick jab with her elbow, then turns back to the reception desk and grabs a key. "If you'll just follow me, I'll take you to their room."
As I walk behind her down the hall, she continues her explanation, "We've been trying to find a new trainer for these two sisters for a while now, but with how bonded they are, it can be quite the hassle." She looks over at me, "You're okay with that, right?"
I give her a quick nod, "That shouldn't be a problem."
She smiles, looking relieved as she stops before a door with a crude looking paper sign taped to it that reads, "Please knock before entering."
The woman knocks on the door, waiting a moment before opening it. "Oh! Excuse me, I forgot to bring the paperwork along with us. I'll be right back!" she says, "You just make yourself at home, alright?"
Nodding again, I step inside the room. As soon as the door slams shut behind me, a voice inside my head rings out, "Oh great, another one, I thought we were done for the day."
Scanning around the room quickly, I look for whatever made that sound; the room is fairly empty except for a bowl of water and two beds. The windows are bolted shut from the inside too, making me feel like I'm in some sort of prison cell.
