"No problem. Lips are sealed."

"Anyways, I want to hurry over to the professor's lab, so c'mon, lets go!" Rhys urged them, starting to hurry.


Serenity woke up a few minutes later, Reunu at her side. "Hello there, are you alright? Aren't you that famous child actress? Serenity?" the lady in a lab coat, who Serenity recognized as professor Juniper. "Y-yes, I am, but please don't ever tell anyone you saw me here" Serenity said. "You're professor Juniper, correct? Thank you for taking care of me, I was running away from home when I encountered some rowdy teenagers, one of their Pokemon starting barking at me, luckily I had Reunu here to protect me, I ran all the way from Straiton to here, I must have collapsed from exhaustion." Serenity explained.

"Oh, that sounds very scary, I can't promise I won't tell that you were here if the police interrogate me, but I can allow you to stay here for a bit" Juniper said, a concerned oshawott that had remained with Serenity while she was passed out barked, alerting Juniper. "Oh yes, and this Oshawott seems to care for you too, you may keep him if you wish" Juniper said, handing her the Pokeball. Serenity's face lit up with joy, thanking the professor as she walked out to her lab.

(Sorry I haven't been responding, I was at work)

(No prob)
"Alrighty." Noelle said in a monotone voice. "It'll be nice to see Juniper again."

"Yeah, I've met Juniper only once, but she seems really nice" Rhys commented as he walked along.

"Ah. I usually send photos to her assistant, Fennel, so I've met her."

"Oh, that sounds pretty interesting, my sister is kinda into performance and fashion" Rhys shrugged. It wasn't exactly a lie, his sister was very famous, but he didn't find it important to mention, especially since he wanted his friends to like him instead of liking him because of who his sister was.

"It's really more Pokmon in daily life, or in the wild." Noelle shrugged. "Plus, my motto is 'Function over Fashion'."

"Sounds interesting, but if you ever need to photoshoot some more glamorous Pokemon, maybe for different reasons than Fennel, take this" He told her, handing her a card with a card from Hiraani Ambrosia, and another code underneath it. "Me and my sister devised a plan, there's normal business cards, and then there's cards for family friends, so she can prioritize those" Rhys said. "If you tell her your friends with Rhys, you can get a ton of photos for free" He told her.

"Er, thanks." She said, putting it in a small pocket in her backpack

"No problem, anyways, I wonder what kind of Pokemon Juniper has over at the lab" Rhys wondered as he continued walking
