"I think we can arrange an adoption that benefits both me, you and the pokemon that chooses to be your partner." Odd how he words it like that, since one would assume the trainer to pick their starter. He walks over to a small table in the lab, picking up a tablet-like device and turning it on. Right next to the Pokedex is a metal drawer, containing six pokeballs. He gestures for Harley to come over to the table.

"Ms Quinn, I would like you to participate in my studies." He hands the tablet to her. "This is the newest Pokedex, which allows a person to scan different species of Pokemon in order to collect data. I want to see how the Nexus affects Pokemon, so I need data from lots of people." He turns to look at the pokeballs. "In exchange for a Pokemon, would you be willing to collect data for me? The Pokedex is state of the art and will not require much skill to use it."
