"Oh, so this is the kid you were always talking about. I didn't know you were actually calling him by name the whole time." Clay says with a laugh, crossing his arms with a smile as he watches the going ons of the others. "Nice entrance by the way...but you set something on fire, I smell smoke..." Reaching into his bag, he pulls out a pokeball and opens it. A moment later a Seadra appears before them, floating in the air just off the ground. "King, could you put out whatever it is that's burning? Thanks buddy."

The Seadra nods silently and moves towards the door, then outside. Jack can be heard yelling about the building being on fire when the doors open, but a few moments later they open once more, and he and King walk back into the room, both dripping wet from a water gun.

"Well, that takes care of that." Clay says, returning King, who simply nods when his pokeball is produced. "That was King. He used to be the protector for a bunch of water pokemon, I think he believes he's a samurai or something...anyway, you had something for them professor?"

"Ah, yes, thank you Clay, for keeping me on track...but I really must be going. Here, you probably know about these better than I do." Pine says, handing him a shiny metal case and hurrying towards the door. "I am afraid I really must be going, but I'll see you around! Ta ta!" And with that, he and Paris make their way outside and to the jeep.

"Huh...maybe he's getting too old for this," Clays says, then to the others, "Don't tell him I said that though, alright? Just between us." Moving over to a table he sets the case down, flips the latches, and the lid pops open to reveal what looks something like a pokedex with a wrist band attached. Taking one of them out, Clay shows the others that it opens up into a small computer, like a laptop that straps to your wrist. "These are what we call Poke'Tops, miniature computers that can do just about everything. In Johto they have something similar, but less hightech."

He hands them out to everyone, then closes the case and reaches into his bag to take out his own. Opening it and pressing a few buttons, rock music begins to play, and when he turns the screen towards them it has a map displayed, along with the weather patterens for the next three days.
