The short young man had been walking for some time now. Luke had been given a lift from his home town to the town nearest where the Tsuasa Base was, but had been instructed that part of the test was finding the place on his own. His recruiter had given him a general idea of direction and distance and then left him on his own... well not really on his own. After all he had Akira. The ditto daemon was currently sitting on his head, her pinkish body settled comfortably on the soft hat he wore over his messy blond hair. Still Luke had a feeling that the lady had been expecting them to go rushing off without a clue like any old idiot, rather then sitting down with his tablet and working out where they were headed using the maximum possible distance which could be traveled in the time frame they'd been given and the general direction.
Luke laughed quietly to himself, really given what he'd been recruited for she should have known better. Brains and the fact that few people were as good at computers as he was, all of them were far older then he, which meant he plenty of time to keep improving, though he suspected that would be slowed a little since he'd signed on at the bottom of the team power ladder. Still, he supposed Grunt work would be a nice change of pace for a time.. just so long as it was only for a time. While it would probably be fun, he'd still much rather be working with computers then people. He did hope it wasn't actual grunt work though. Luke was built fast, not strong, actual grunt work, lifting and carrying and all that, would be no fun at all.
"Do we have much further to go?" Akira's voice was soft, her flexible body twisting so she could peer down at her human. Luke hummed and pulled his tablet out of his pocket. A couple of taps and he had up a map of the area. "No. Not far. see this?" His finger circled a glowing red dot "Thats where we worked out the base should be. and this" A black line wandered across the screen, sometimes veering a little this way and sometimes veering a little that way, but generally taking a fairly smooth and straight course towards the dot "That's where we've been so far. We're getting pretty close to where it should be, so keep your eyes out for the building"
"You mean like that building over there?" Akira extended part of herself to point to the building she saw. Luke blinked several times as he now looked past the trees surrounding them and saw what Akira saw. "Yeh. Pretty much exactly like that" He grinned. Akira huffed slightly "Aww, Come on Akira. This is gonna be fun. We're gonna help Tsuasa help the world!" The daemon hummed for a moment and then smiled, slipping down from Luke's hat to balance on his shoulder "Your right. It does sound like fun"
There was nothing obvious about the building which would indicate without a doubt that this was where they had been headed, but it was the only such building for a rather large distance. Luke moved inside, heading straight for the receptionists desk. "Hi" He waved slightly to catch the attention of the person on duty "I'm Luke Ahti. I was told to report here to collect my first pokemon"
