---> The Pokelab!

`` You have arrived at the Pokelab Guide! This section is an informative section of the Pokelab to read over so you are prepared to enter! This guide features a layout of the lab itself, a staff section, and information about available starting Pokemon. Please read about all these important topics before roleplaying in the lab.
Thank you!!

---> The Lay of the Lab

`` The Pokemon Laboratory is a large, white building that lies undeground. Though it is obviously scientific in nature and a bit much for a simple starting lab, the building from the inside has a rounded shape that is welcoming to visitors of all kinds. It is a world renowned scientific space with some of the most advanced equipment and extended research areas. This guide will cover the important areas of the lab as well as a few extra features the lab has to offer.

---> The Lobby

`` When you first enter the lab, you will enter through the lowest room on the Pokelab map, called the Lobby.

---> The Hallway

`` Between the Lobby and Starter Area is a hallway that has two mysterious doors! The door on the left side of the map is simply a storage closet with boxes of small equipment. The door to the right is always locked and it is only known to the Professor what it contains. How mysterious!

---> The Starter Area

`` Upon entering the actual Pokelab, there is a large, glasstop table to your right that holds all twenty-two starting Pokemon--if you're lucky. The twenty-two pokeballs are sealed in this case to protect them from possible theft, a common occurrence in other Professor's labs. When the glass is opened, mechanical platforms lift the Pokeballs and each platform is labeled with the Pokemon's name. It is here that numerous trainers recieve their very first Pokemon and begin their journey.

---> The Workspace

`` Beyond the numerous massive machines placed specifically about is the Professor's primary lab space. He does all of his research, experiments, and paperwork here. There are books lining the entire back shelf that are only a small collection of the larger library elsewhere. The other glasstop tables in the room are secured as well and hold various rare objects such as fossils or evolution stones.

`` Some of the other features of the Pokelab include:

---> Starter Nursery
---> Guest Rooms for Employees and Visitors
---> The Basement
---> The Pokemon Greenhouse
---> Pokemon Pool and Spa
---> Battle Arena
---> Culinary Kitchen
---> And more!

---> Professor ___
`` The Professor is who you meet with when you are a new trainer and wish to receive a Starter Pokemon! He can supply you with information, special items, and connections to people around Ablony. Position:OPEN
