The Professor smiles broadly to her.
Rage: Exactly!
From the doorway another voice will pop up, this one definately younger.
Young Man: Pop, are you explaining Gyarados again?

Lorelei turns her head, looking over her shoulder in the direction of the voice, assuming this must be Professor Rage's son whom they are waiting for.

The boy almost looks like a younger version of his father. They both are the same height, but instead of grey hair, the boy has brown/blond hair. In his hand, he holds a burger and on the right side of his hip is a pokeball.
Young Man: Really pop. You need to be less excitable. I thought we were waiting for your friend.
Prof. Rage frowns at his son.
Prof. Rage: Boy, show a little respect. This young lady came up from Pallet Town to show us the way there. The least you can do is be thankful.
The young man blanches a little and turns to Lorelei with a small bow.
Young Man: Sorry, I get carries away at times.

Lorelei just smiles and bows extravagantly in return.
Lorelei: Forget about it. I'm Lorelei and this is Splash. Professor Oak sent us because something came up. I hope you don't mind the substitution too much.

The young man gives a shake of his head which sends part of his hair bouncing.
Young man: I don't mind at all. I prefer a lovely lady as opposed to having to walk with two scentists back to Pallet town. I'm Nicola Rage and this..."
He pulls the pokeball from his waist and releases his own pokemon, a Cydaquil.
Nicola: Is Varrin.

Splash scoots forward to inspect the new pokemon. Lorelei keeping half an eye on her, in case Varrin isn't friendly.
Lorelei: A pleasure to meet you both. Shall we head back to Pallet Town then?

The Cyndaquil gives a small squeek and backs away a bit before sniffing Splash in return
Albert: Yes, I believe we should head back now so that we can get settled into the guestroom before nightfall.
Nikola moves over to pick up the two suitcases.
Nikola: Very well then, we're ready to go whenever you are.

Lorelei nods, and turns toward the Pokemon Center's door.
Lorelei: Anything I can carry?

Nikola pauses a moment and then hands one of the bags to her. A small rolling one,
Nikola: If you would please. I still need to grab my traveling bag.
He then reaches over for a black backpack the same size that most pokemon trainers would carry all their items in.

Lorelei grasps the bag's handle, glad that its on wheels, and that its not to heavy.
Lorelei: Alright, then let's head out.
Lorelei tosses her hair back over her shoulders and heads out the door, and back down Route 1 back towards Pallet Town.

The trip back down to Pallet Town is uneventful, if a lot shorter thanks to the small ledges that you can jump down. Soon you are back at Prof. Oak's lab.
You head down the hall intil you reach the room that Oak was in and open it. Albert immediately grins from ear to ear as he enters.
Albert: Sammy my old friend! How are you doing?
Oak beams.
Oak: Albert! I am well, how is your thesis on water pokemon coming?
Nikola leans over to Lorelei and whispers softly.
Nikola: They're going to be like this for a while.

Lorelei nods her agreement and turns her head to whisper back to Nikola
Lorelei: Perhaps we should leave them to it?
Splash nudges her leg and Lorelei picks her up.

Nikola nods quickly and disappears out the door.
Nicola: Yeah, unless you want to hear about the mating rituals of Luvdisks or something like that. They talk about some wierd stuff.

Lorelei follows him, Splash in her arms, pressing her lips together to stop a laugh as she replies with utmost gravity.
Lorelei: Valuable as that knowledge no doubt is, I believe I could live without knowing about the mating rituals of Luvdisks.

Once they both are out of the room, Nicola will close the door and breathe a sigh of relief.
Nicola: We escaped...I feel better already to be honest. Last time I got stuck for three hours with them discussing how loud a Snorlax snores.
