Saguaro dipped his head to one side so that he could hear better from where he was sitting. It had become something of a habit turn his ear whenever a bit of gossip cropped up, since his classroom was usually the place to accommodate such talk regularly. Today he was in the Staff Room, taking care of some paperwork that just had to be done, but he couldn't help but listen in to the talk of the other staff.

"Did you hear about that kid from Kalos?"

"The gym leader?"

"Yeah, I heard he's here."

"What for? Just observation?"

"I dunno, but I saw him in the lobby. He's young! All our gym leaders are a lot older, so I was surprised."

"Yeah, well, that happens sometimes. I guess La Primera just prefers more experienced trainers. Besides, it's not like it's totally unheard of. Isn't one of the E4..."

Saguaro checked out of the conversation at that point, having learned the part he was most interested in. A Kalos visitor. And a gym leader at that. He wondered what kind of scouting might be happening for something like this to occur, and he wanted to see it. Kalos was an interesting place anyway, and he certainly wouldn't mind getting a look for himself. He wasn't going to sit around at this desk anymore, that was for sure.

So Saguaro took up his things and left the Staff Room, making his way back to his classroom. He hoped that he might catch sight of the lad as he was wandering or perhaps being given a tour. He wasn't sure how the director would want to handle a situation like that, if this little rumor was true at all. But a subject like this didn't just crop up out of nowhere, so he was inclined to believe it. He was most curious about the reason for the visit, since he was sure something like this had to be rare.

Turo's eyes lite up as soon as he heard Clemont was an inventor! He was so glad his instincts were right on that assumption! So joyous was this information to the man, he couldn't hide the excitement in his voice!

"That's a beautiful thing! You'll the creating things that help progress humanity forward to a better future! Even if it's something big like streamlined teleportation of mass goods or something small like a soda can opener for the disabled, each invention can impact the lives of countless people!" While his dramatics could have gone on, his eye caught something with the machine they were both investigating.

"Ah! Do you have an electric pokemon? My Kilowattrel has Volt Absorb, so could handle any access charge this machine has. If we could see how it runs at max capacity, then we should be able to quickly pinpoint the most problem areas without having to deconstruct it!"

“Are you sure this one was the one you wanted, Bonnie? The last time I got you a big plush, you said it was the wrong one.” Clemont spoke, holding out a life sized Luxray plushie to his little sister, which clearly was almost twice the size of Bonnie!

He simply stares at the strange, slimy creature, taking note of the pink appendages on its back. He had just arrived in this strange world, and already the wildlife was proving to be quite interesting. If he had a lab, he would have taken several of them back to examine them. However, as if sensing his ill intent, the strange creatures promptly fled his approach.

All except this creature, which looked quite content to continue laying there. Oddly enough, it reminded him of Starrk.

After a few more moments, the arrancar knelt down to pick it up. The creature nearly slipped out of his hands, but he managed to tighten his grip just in time. Unfortunately for him, his thumb had accidentally brushed against one of the pink spikes, resulting in the creature expelling its guts in the form of a fist, which got him right in the face.

"...I really do not like you."

New faces weren't rare around the academy, either from new students and faculty or parents visiting with their family to check the school out. It being so technologically advanced in the world's current era gathered a lot of attention alone. However, this guy was alone and not dressed in a uniform...still a potential new student maybe? What really grabbed Drayton's attention though was his interesting get-up.
