In the world of Pokemon, there are some adult situations the cartoon failed to touch on. Many fail to realize the severity of a Pokemon's attack, others did not touch on the relationships deeper than just trainer and servant. Many remain friends, o...

The group moves quickly through Route 29 and walks into New Bark Town. There are four buildings, and the students look around lost.
David steps forward and points to the first building on the left. "That is Professor Elm's laboratory."
The students slowly make their way to the door, but pause when they hear yelling inside.
"Totodile, stop trying to bite Cyndaquil! OW! Cyndaquil put away your flames, you burn my ear! Chikorita! This is no time to cuddle!" The footsteps behind the door would suggest a struggle between two fully grown men.
David sighs, shaking his head and pinching the bridge of his nose. "Let me go in first..."
David pushes through the students and opens the door. Inside is a man in a white coat. A Totodile hanging from his right shoulder, snapping at a Cyndaquil that is noticeably agitated, on his left shoulder. The man has a Chikorita in his harms and notices them come in quickly.
He laughs nervously. "Oh! Welcome! Sorry for these three. They do not get along well."
David smiles. "Not a problem. I know how it can be. May I?"
"By all means." Professor Elm replies.
David glares at Totodile. "Get.. down."
Totodile jumps quickly off of the Professor's shoulder and stands still.
David then slowly approaches Cyndaquil, petting his head softly. "Now now, calm down."
Cyndaquil puts out his flame and allows David to take him off Elm's shoulder.
Chikorita continues to nudge Elm's chin, as he pets her. "Thank you very much!"
"My pleasure." David says, petting Cyndaquil. "I have brought you a new group of trainers."
"Oh! You are the group Professor Ivory called me about!" Elm sets Chikorita down and outstretches his hand. "That means you must be Doctor David Brown."
David repositions Cyndaquil and takes Elm's hand. "Indeed I am."
"The pleasure is mine, sir." Elm smiles. Elm then steps past David and outstretches his hand to Kyla. "And you must be the up and coming Kyla."
Kyla takes his hand. "That is me!" Kyla turns and slowly presents everyone else. "This is Blare, my adopted little sister. And these are Clare, Deanna, Sam, Josh, and Heng, our newly graduated students."
Elm bows. "It is a pleasure to meet all of you. I am Professor Elm." He turns back to David. "Ivory was unclear on how much she had already got them geared up."
"As far as I am aware, they have already received their starters and Pokeballs, but that is all, up till now." David replies.
Elm looks back at the students, carefully noting their equipment. "I see. Well, I was prepared for more, which is good." Elm turns and walks to a shelf were seven bags lay. "I am just going to ignore the fact that you already have Pokeballs in your possession, for the sack of our time." Elm picks up a few bags and begins handing them out. "Inside each of these well-made bags, you will find a Pokedex, a mega evolution wrist band, six Pokeballs, a map of Johto, two potions, and a modest amount of money provided by the Pokemon League."
