TerashiLeonGoken Once we returned from the contest, Keiko let her Ledian out, so it could stretch out and rest. "I really have no idea what to name him," Keiko admitted finally. "Just take some time to think about it," I told her. "A name will come to you eventually.""I got an idea." Sub said as he spoke up, approach the male and female pair. "Lady is a Ledian, right? Ledian are known for their ties with the stars, considering they feed off of starlight energy. So, why not give it a name suiting to that? Why not Asteria? I read an old myth once about people who worshiped a goddess by that name, titan of falling stars. Alternatively you could make it more masculune and name it Aster." Sub suggested to Keiko.

"Ledian is a boy, which is why-" Keiko started to say, before Sub offered the masculine option. While Keiko considered the name Aster, I couldn't help but notice how Ledian turned his attention directly to Sub when he mentioned the name Aster.
"That's perfect. Thank you, Sub," Keiko said with a smile before turning her head toward her Ledian and noticing his attentiveness to the mention of that name. "You like that name, huh?" Keiko said teasingly. "Oh! That gives me an idea for what to name Dodrio, too!"
"What's is it?" I asked.
"Cerberus."

TerashiLeonGoken "Huh. I don't think I've ever heard that name on a Pokemon before. It's barely a name, but...""I think it's nice..."Al would see Keiko and me as we walked into the main lobby, both of us contemplating the new name Al bestowed on his Togetic. "Sorry about that, we heard you on our way over here," I explained. Al looked up at Terashi and Keiko. "Oh, hello." He greeted the duo with a smile. "Perhaps it is unusual but what's in a name after all?" he asked of them with a curious look towards the sky. Philosophical much? Nah. Hearing the conversation about names, he spoke up. "Aster is nice name, Miss Keiko." He told her in regards to her Ledian's name. "But Cerberus? For, what did you say it was again, a Dodrio?" He asked as he stood up and stretched out. "You know Cerberus is the name of the three-headed hound that guards the Gates of Hell, don't you?" He asked, suggesting the evil nature of the name might not be the best.

Choosing not to comment on Dodrio's new name, my gaze shifted to Al... almost forgot he was there. "Fair enough," I responded.
"If this 'hell hound' has two heads that constantly fight each other, then the name would be plenty appropriate," I added.

Al shrugged at Terashi's comment. "That I'm not sure about." He admitted as he looked to the Togetic still zooming around him. "You hungry?" He asked as he headed off towards the kitchen. "You two are welcome to join us." He offered to Keiko and Terashi before he went more than a few steps, however.

"That sounds nice," Keiko said with a smile as she stood up. I followed her into the kitchen without saying anything.

Connor entered the lobby of Snagem HQ, disappointed that he didn't win the Safari Contest. "Oh well, there'll be next time" he muttered to himself. At least he didn't have to deal with that girl anymore. 'Well I'll never see her again' he smiled, his spirits beginning to lift. The dark haired teen ignored the people in the lobby, heading to the training room. He'd recently became a member but had no intention of socializing with anyone. Sending out Torchic, Connor wanted to practice a few of the bird's attacks. "You did a good job against that Shuckle but that doesn't mean we neglect practice." The chick chirped, nodding his head in agreement. He started off by practicing his Flamethrower.

Roy walked into the HQ, a big grin spreading across his face as he looked around. "Oh wow," He said, excitedly stepping further into the lobby. It was a relief to finally be there. He dug in his pocket, pulling out two Pokeballs. He tossed both of them out, a Totodile and Natu emerging from them. The two turned and looked up at him. "This is our new home, guys!"
The Totodile began running around and inspecting everything up-close, while the Natu simply stood there and watched.
Roy watched the two carefully, still smiling like a goof.

When I heard a voice I didn't recognize, my attentions were drawn elsewhere. "Save me some,"With that, I made my way to this 'Roy' person. "Greetings," I said, to catch his attention. "I don't recognize you, so I guess you're new here. Am I right?"

Just got here," He looked over at the Totodile, who was trying to get the Natu to come look around with him. "Hey, Basil, don't pester him! Let Sumac adjust at his own pace," He turned back and laughed a bit. "Sorry about that. Well anyway, my name's Roy," The young man extended his arm for a handshake.

I replied, shaking the boy's hand. "I'm guessing you haven't gotten your SNAG and other essentials, and it probably couldn't hurt to show you around the place either, so you don't get lost. So, if you have a minute, let me take you on the tour."

TerashiLeonGoken "Terashi," I replied, shaking the boy's hand. "I'm guessing you haven't gotten your SNAG and other essentials, and it probably couldn't hurt to show you around the place either, so you don't get lost. So, if you have a minute, let me take you on the tour." He shook his head, "Haven't gotten those just yet, no. And I've still got this Raticate that was lent to me," Roy pulled the Pokeball from his pocket. "A tour would be fantastic. Are you sure it's not too much trouble?"

I shook my head at the mention of trouble. "It's one of my duties as Member Ambassador, so don't worry about it." I told him.
I took my SNAG out and held it up. "GRAY, can you open the door to Sub's office, please?"
"And why would I do something like that?" an uppity voice said, emanating from the device in my hand. "Because I said please? There's a new member here who needs his gear," I explained.
"Of course, of course... I've got to do everything around here," GRAY griped before I put the device back in my pocket.
"That's GRAY. You'll... get used to him." I told Roy, before making way to the nearest door and opening it.
"This office belongs to our leader, a man who goes by the nickname 'Sub'. If you haven't met him yet, I'm sure you will soon. The Bisharp you see before you is Alan, and he deems himself Sub's bodyguard. He's over-protective, so... just keep your hands to yourself for the moment, and you should be fine." I explained as I entered the room and headed to the desk.
After a minute of rooting around, I began handing things to Roy, one at a time, explaining as I went. "This item is a Snagem Network Access Gear, also known as a SNAG. The voice connected to it is an artificial intelligence, the Guidance, Resource, and Assistance Yielder. GRAY. The SNAG itself serves mainly as a communication device. With it, you can contact any member of the team by text or voice message, even works like a walkie-talkie. It also has a Pokedex feature, and what it can't do, GRAY can. Just take him with a grain of salt. No matter what he says, he's programmed to help you, whatever help you may need. Although, mainly, you'll be asking him to have the team's Claydol teleport you to wherever you need to go.
"This next item is a Snag Machine. Wear it on your wrist and insert a Poke Ball here. The machine will convert the Poke Ball into a Snag Ball, which you can then use to capture another Trainer's Pokemon. Personally, I only reserve it for emergencies, but to each their own."
"Now, this is a Hoverboard. If, for whatever reason, we lose track of Claydol, or if the enemy's flying over a river, or if you just plain don't wanna deal with GRAY-"
"As if anyone could ever resist me," GRAY teased.
"Ahem. You can use this like a skateboard, only it goes over any terrain. The final package of your Team Snagem Starter Kit contains two Poke Balls, free of charge. Unless you have any questions, we'll continue with the tour once you have everything put away."

Roy followed Terashi, a bit intimidated by his seemingly high ranked tour guide. He stood back as the door was opened and poked his head in before his body followed. "Sub, hm? Alrighty," he said, carefully edging past the Bisharp and keeping his hands behind his back, smiling awkwardly at the Pokemon.
He took the items that were handed to him, looking at the SNAG and setting it down on the desk for a moment. It would be a long process of trial and error trying to figure out how to work it, he figured. Maybe GRAY could help him or something.
The Snag Machine was familiar, and he put it on his wrist with little trouble. Stealing from that guy in Goldenrod didn't seem horrible, but then again, Roy didn't have much of a choice in that situation to begin with. He hoped he wouldn't have to do it very often, but like Terashi said, emergencies happen.
He raised his eyebrows at the mention of a Hoverboard. "Dang, really? That's pretty neat!" Roy exclaimed, pushing up his glasses as it was handed to him. He took the Pokeballs, too, tucking them into his bag. The SNAG fit into an outside pocket on the bag, which was lucky. After a minute of shifting things around he was all packed up.
"Ooookay, all set I think!"

"Alright, then," I said, making my way out of Sub's office. "The main entrance is there, as you know, on the opposite end of the lobby is the kitchen. We've got someone cooking in there right now* if you feel like eating after the tour. We're gonna go around the kitchen to get to the rest of the base, though."
With that, I led him through one of the hallways wrapping around the kitchen. "Alright. These two hallways connect and keep going past these two staircases, at the end of that is the training room. The staircase to your left leads to our utility floor. We've got a lab, a library, a pool, and other things down there. The staircase to your right leads upward to the rooms. Pick one that has a key taped to the back of the door and feel free to unpack."
"Is there anything you want to ask? If not, we're done here," I told him.
