Professor Juniper's P.O.V

It's been a week since this mystery girl washed up nearby, and she still hasn't woken up. A nurse and an Audino have been coming by to check on her to see if she needs to be moved to the Center to get more care than I can perform. The teens have taken notice of her to, they come by everyday asking 'Is that girl ok?' and 'When is she going to wake up?'. Even though they are ready to take up the journey, their parents have said to wait to give them their pokemon, and due to this girl they have support to their decision. But waiting until their sixteen is a bit late, but it's up to them not me.

"Audino!"

I turned with a smile and greeted the nurse and her pokemon helper, I motioned my hands for her to come in. She said her hellos and hurried off to do her work, as I continued with mine. I had gone to offer her a drink when I walk past where she went to check on the girl. But as I left the room and closed the door. But right after I did that, I heard a pained groan and an audible gasp. The nurse called me back in, and I saw the mystery girl trying to sit up. The nurse quickly pushes her back down gently, and scolded her in a mothering tone.
"No sweetie, lie back down."
"Where am I? Where is my egg?!" This girl was beginning to panic. I quickly left the room and picked up the egg she had with her when I found her.
"Miss! Please sit down you've been asleep for a week! But even then, the Professor found you unconscious, now please stay calm!" You could hear the nurse try to calm our once sleeping guest down. I entered quickly to avoid damage to my lab.
"Your egg is completely fine, in fact it's right here. I've kept it warm in an incubator, here don't worry it's all right. Now, what do you remember about yourself?"
"My name is (Y/n) Harmonia, I'm sixteen almost seventeen... I'd rather not say where I'm from, if that's OK." Our once Jane Doe said.
"Well, Miss (Y/n), do you remember how you ended up in that river?" The nurse questioned.

(Y/n)'s P.O.V

'These people are really starting to get nosy! I really don't want to tell them...'
"... No. I have no clue... Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to head home." 'Smooth, I sounded genuine. Hopefully they don't question me more'
"Now (Y/n), this area is filled with violent pokemon which may attack you. I would highly recommend waiting until your egg has hatched. Nurse you can go." I watch as the Professor wave the nurse off, she seemed to have made up her mind about something. 'That's not good. "You can stay here with me until you egg has hatched!"

'I knew it wasn't good.' "No Professor, that's okay I'll just head over to the Poke Center. The nearest one is the next towns, right?" The Professor just stood there as if taking in what I had just said, she blinked and smiled warmly towards me.
"But (Y/n), even if I let you go, where would you? It's obvious you're not from around here, I'd have at least seen you in one of the towns or cities nearby if you were."
Now it was my turn to stop moving. She's right, I have nowhere to go, of course I'll never go there again. I suddenly felt really choked up, and I felt something warm slide down my cheek, I was crying. Looking up I see the Professor nearing, and she pulled into a comforting hug. She was rubbing my arms and telling me to steady my breathing, which was working but the image of him was still fresh in my mind. 'Damn him! Damn him to hell! I left because of that man - that puppet master can go to hell!'

"S-so... You r-really don't mind?" When I looked up at her, it looked like a Cheshire Delcatty had replaced her head, it was almost creepy. Almost. She was kind enough to make it just disturbing.
"Not at all! This was a spare room, but you can have it." She was still smiling, however it calmed down to a polite and giddy smile. 'She's excited? Well, I've never really had a chance to be a kid... Maybe this will be a good thing!' After thinking for a second, I stood up, a bit unsteady at first, but when I got up, I looked around and smiled.
"Thanks! I can't wait to meet everyone." Even if this wasn't the original plan, things are turning out okay for me! Like damn, I've got a guardian of sorts and a house! Or at the very least a room! Taking another quick glance around the room, I smiled but accidentally said: "This room needs a new coat of paint." 'Well done me! Ungrateful much?'

Wait was she... Laughing?

"Finally, someone who agrees! You'll fit in well here (Y/n)."
"I hope so Prof-"
"Call me Juniper, Professor is starting to sound a little too formal."
"OK, thanks again Juniper."
