Noelle's arrival to Hoenn had been an interesting one indeed. Initially stranded in Slateport City after her boat docked, she eventually found herself sneaking into a boat which contained a tour which had been travelling all over the world. Thanks to this tour, Noelle managed to get a nice, safe, scenic view of the Hoenn region, or at the very least whatever encompassed Dewford, Petalburg, and Oldale.
The tour made one more stop in a quaint, yet strategic area: Littleroot Town. While not a hub of tourist activity, it did house the nearest Pokemon Lab. Clearly, this was where Noelle's ride ended. When no one was watching, she snuck out of the tour bus, and watched as the vehicle made its way back into the heart of Hoenn, leaving Noelle behind, with nothing but her newly bought souvenirs: an "I ♥ HOENN" T-shirt worn rather messily on top of her regular blouse, and a map of the region (mostly useless to a non-touristic trainer).
This was it. This was the start of a new journey. As she stood outside of the Pokemon Lab, her heartbeat accelerated as she begun to get nervous. Trying to calm down, she took a deep breath, and slowly pushed the door into the lab.
Inside the Lab, she could see a menagerie of paperwork and expensive technology, albeit, not as neat as she had expected from a Pokemon Professor. She had seen Elm's lab once in a documentary about Professors, and she remembered that he was anal-retentive about everything being in its place. Clearly all of the Professors played with their own rules.
That said, she couldn't seem to find anybody. There was no Professor in sight, no assistants, not even a friendly robot programmed to dispense starter Pokemon. Perhaps the Professor went for a snack, or for a walk, or something. She looked around for somewhere to sit, but most of the chairs seemed to be full of piles and piles of paperwork. Oh well. She'd have to wait standing.
