>>11839392You decide not to dawdle around any longer, Professor Rowan needs your assistance, you shouldn't waste anymore time.
Quickly, you head to his office.
However, you make sure to take one last peek at the lonely girl. You happen to stare at her for quite a while, since she isn't doing much anything but looking down while hugging herself, she doesn't even catch you spying on her.
She seems sad, even if she doesn't really show it.

"Ah, Lucas. Thank you for coming. I hoped you spent your time wisely, gearing up for the trouble bound to come and whatnot." Rowan stops looking out his window, he sits down, and goes back to eating the deviled eggs he was munching on.
"Uh, sir, what are you...?"
"Hm? These? Oh, just...just a small gift from the missus... Easter coming and going and whatnot."
"I see. Sir, um, what is it that you wanted me for? Like what mission do you want me to go on exactly?"
Rowan gets up and looks back out the window, "Come, Lucas."
You follow him to the window, where he puts to a generic, dark area that really puts a deep contrast when compared to the rest of Sinnoh. It's polluted by storm clouds too, "Lucas. I'm afraid that Sinnoh is in peril, and risks a World War unless you complete the task I'm about to give to you. That is Fort Loonatic. Known in native tongue as "Furt Ballonssinge"."
"O-Oh...U-Um, what is it that you want me to do?"
Rowan shakes his head, "No, my boy. Not just you. I have assigned you with a new recruit to the team, the name we gave her in the laboratory is Dawndere, however, I usually call her "Dawn" for short."
Dawn..? That's...that's a nice name.
"Dawn... Mr. Rowan-"
"'Rowan' is just fine, Lucas."
