And we'd both go, down together; we'd stay there forever. Just try to get up.
Christian Stark
And I'm sorry, this wasn't easy, when I asked you, "Believe me, and never let go."

Christian was alone in the lab for only a few moments before a girl walked in. Ramalia. Christian raised a brow as he watched her walk past, she was pretty he had to admit and he watched her closely as she stared down at the poke'balls Oak had lain out for them. When she turned around with a red and white ball in her hand, Christian quickly looked down at his, and popped one of the bubbles that his gum made. When she talked to him Christian quickly held his poke'ball out toward her and nodded, "Oh yea. I couldn't wait to get mine!" It took him a moment to remember his manners and he coughed slightly, "What'd you get? I got a Bulba--"
The young boy grinned when he saw Felicia walk into the lab and his eyes were torn away from Ramalia and his poke'ball to watch her for a moment. When she yelled his name and raised her hand into the air, Christian returned the gesture with a grin plastered to his face, "Felicia!" As she comment on his hair, Christian grinned and ran a hand through it proudly, "Don't dis the hair. Oh! Yea, I've totally gotten my poke'ball!" He held it up again, this time toward Felicia, "What'd you get? We need to battle soon!" His eyes were torn away from Felicia to Ramalia again and he laughed a little, "But, wait, Felicia, this is.. um.. What's your name again?" Christian smiled nervously at Ramalia. He knew he should know this girls name, but he honestly couldn't remember. If he even knew her name to begin with that is.
Before Christian could get an answer though, he heard a rather loud clunk and he stood on his toes to examine. What he saw was Zeeli Foundman sprawled across the floor, facing a rather small Squirtle. Pushing his way between the two girls, Christian trotted over to Zeeli, "Hey. You alright?" Christian wasn't sure why he'd felt the urge to be nice to this girl, after all, his best friend was waiting for him, but he had to help her. The boy extended a hand with a smile, "My name's Christian. I see you got a poke'mon too!"
As he waited for this girl to answer, he turned his head toward Ramalia and Felicia in time to see Ren walk in. Christian didn't feel like dashing up to yet another person, so he turned back to Zeeli in hopes that Felicia, Ramalia and Ren would all approach him rather then making him make the first move. Christian laughed a little, "Sure is a busy day.."
