The helicopter set down in the grass in the South East corner of Littleroot, not far from Prof. Birch’s Lab.
Collector Chaz stepped out and waved a last thank you to the pilot.
The mudkip nestled comfortably in to Chaz’s arm, quite happy to be out of the noisy contraption.
Looking down at the mudkip Chaz smiled and said; “Well let’s go see our old friend Professor Birch, shall we.”
And with that started walking briskly toward the lab.
“God! Spitter; all this stuff feels so strange and awkward. I have never been anything but a businessman. Now I have to learn how to be both a trainer and a hiker. But just think of all the friends and Pokemon we will meet as I set out to make my dream collection of Pokemon”; Chaz said to the mudkip.
Spitter looked up at his master and friend perplexed. The mudkip just did not understand that from this day forward their lives would not be the same.
“Kiiip”; Spitter squalled excitedly as he saw the lab up ahead.

"Well, I'll be." Cal mumbled, stumbling outside while gazing at the helicopter, puzzled.
Who landed an helicopter in the middle of a town?
Someone was coming out, carrying a Mudkip with him. Cal had been taking care of the lab for quite a while. Birch was seemingly out. Where, he didn't know.
"That's odd."

"Breon!" the Dark-Type said happily, bouncing around as they entered the small town. Her ears wiggled a bit as she bounded in front of her "trainer," her odd colors gleaming in the sunlight. The man only laughed, throwing his head back slightly.
"Excited, I see?" the man questioned his Umbreon as it leapt and pounced around on the path. Obviously, it was happy about something. Maybe seeing Professor Birch again? It he was here, at least. The man always seemed to be away studying about Pokemon. Of course, James him self did that a lot, too. He was a Shiny Pokemon expert, now wasn't he? And he had four of them to Prove it!
Up ahead, Umbreon paused, her ears twitching. Her head tilted sideways for a moment before looking back to her trainer, giving a called to him. Her tail wagged like that of a dog's. James instantly noted that she saw something.
"Hm?" he questioned, picking up his pace. "What'd you find?" The Pokemon looked at him before quickly looking back to the town. James stopped at her side, only to see a hellicopter sitting a bitt off. "Wow," he said blinking. Then he sighed, shaking his head as he put his hands behind his back. "Young people these days," he assumed, walking forward. "What will they think of next? Come on, Umbreon!"
The Pokemon was quick to listen as both Professor and Pokemon headed towards the not so distant lab of Proffesor Birch. If he was there.

Chaz saw someone come out of the lab; he raised his hand to wave and opened his mouth to call a greeting then shut his mouth stupidly. “No one could hear you over the roar of the helicopter taking off idiot”; he said to himself; “Pull yourself together. You are not school boy that has just gotten his first Pokemon. You have researched this better than most. You have read some of the most obscure papers ever written on Pokemon collecting. Act you age…NOW!” He paused to straighten his posture then started walking in brisk business fashion toward the figure.
After the helicopter had gotten far enough away to be heard he yelled; “Is Professor Birch here? It’s been several years since I…I mean ‘we’ visited him.”
Spitter kicked half heartedly at being left out of Chaz’s statement at first; then settled back into his comfortable position in Chaz’s arm.

"Birch?" Cal repeated. It wasn't something to be confused over, especially when he was taking over his place. "Birch left some time ago. I'm taking care of Littleroot's laboratory, right now. You can always leave a message."
The Mudkip was leaving Cal curious. It was the starter Pokémon of Hoenn's, and he had a special love for any Water Type Pokémon.

"Breon!"
The Shiny Dark-Type was the first one of it's trainer to make it to the labe entrance, seeing the Mukip in one of the man's arms. The Pokemon was practicaly balancing on it's back feet to get a better look now, it's ears swiviling around as if they were some sort of atenna. James only rolling his eyes as he got closer, quickly producing a half-timid smile.
"Hello, there," he only said, stopping a few feet away from the two men. "I take it Birch is not here today?"
"Breon," the Dark-Type finally delcared, hobbling down to all fours and going to her "trainer's" side, sitting on her rump.

Cal shook his head.
"Did everyone decide to turn up today and just look for him?" He sighed under his breath. - "No, Prof. Birch left some time ago, and has yet to come back..."

“Hold it! Are you saying that he retired or are you saying he has been missing for weeks or even months?” I say. God it seems like I got my usual end of year card from him. But that was 10 months ago. I do hope nothing bad has happened to him. I have been so self absorbed lately that I have neglected my friends; I say to myself.
Spitter catching the change in his master’s mood; jumps to the ground ignoring the other Pokemon. Looking curiously from his master to this stranger from the lab. Then he dashes to the lab door trying to get in and look for his old friend.

"Retired?" Cal repeated at such an unlikely proposal. Knowing Birch, he'd actually study them to his last breathe. "No, no. He's just out for some time. I don't know how much exactly, though."
Cal noticed how the Mudkip simply dashed into the lab, but he didn't care, especially for being a Water type Pokémon.
"You might want to tell your friend." He said jockingly.

"Darn," James muttered to him self, looking to the ground. "And I was hoping to meet with him today."
He almost laughed inwardly at how the other man thought that the Professor was missing; it wasn't too likley that he was. Or else he would have sent a begginer or something back here to get some help. If he brought the Pokemon, that was.
"I am James, by the way," he couldn't help but introduce him self, seeing as he might as well stick around for a while to see if Birch was coming back any time soon. Or in the next few days, hopfully.
Meanwhile, Umbreon had willing got up and dashed away from the humans, wandering into the lab as well. James knew she wouldn't get in much trouble anyway; she'd been around labs all her life and knew what to touch as well as what not to touch. Which was usually everything in that part. Her ears twitched as she looked around before looking back at the door, seeing of the three men would enter or not.
