You walk into a white building. The place smelles distinctly of febreze and antibacterial soap. The building is unattractive on the outside, with a faded banner draped high up on the wall. The automatic doors click cheaply as you enter. Echoes of the chatter of many creatures bounce off of the walls. You walk down a narrow hallway that desperately needs a paint job and into the foyer. Lining every speck of the wall you can see are cages with Pokemon sitting patiently inside. The cages are padded, but sparingly so-- each cage, cramped in its 1x2 meter area, houses a pillow, a water bottle, a bowl of Pokechow, and a Pokemon. Only about an eighth of the cages are filled, however, and you expect that if more Pokemon were to come than they'd be more crammed. A man in a white lab coat finally notices you. He starts, causing his glasses to slide down his nose. After regaining his posture, he turns and looks at you pompously. "Welcome, valued customer. Would you like a tour of the facilities?" Xerolabs is both a Pokemon adoption center and a laboratory. Each of the Pokemon in the lab has been treated with a special chemical that allows them to interbreed with any of the other Pokemon at Xerolabs! That means that should you find a mate for your Pokemon and agree to breed them, you can come up with a brand-new, unique Pokemon that's all your own! And, to make things better, you can breed your two-Pokemon combo to another, and another! Pokemon are found to be hughly unstable after the fourth generation, however, and therefore it is not advised that you breed them any farther. As the guide continues to lead you, you pass a window with the faded letters "SHOP" hanging over it. The window is open now, and an employee, this time female, sits there. She's chewing bubble gum and looks extremely bored. On the counter in front of her and hanging on the wall behind her are several items. She gestures to them wordlessly.  Red paintbrush- 30x Special, seemingly magical paint resting on a paintbrush. You can use this paint on a Pokemon to color its body, completely or otherwise. This trait will not be passed down by breeding, as the paint is solely for appearance. Stock: 3  Blue paintbrush- 30x Special, seemingly magical paint resting on a paintbrush. You can use this paint on a Pokemon to color its body, completely or otherwise. This trait will not be passed down by breeding, as the paint is solely for appearance. Stock: 3  Yellow paintbrush- 30x Special, seemingly magical paint resting on a paintbrush. You can use this paint on a Pokemon to color its body, completely or otherwise. This trait will not be passed down by breeding, as the paint is solely for appearance. Stock: 3 A door to your right reads Battle Arena. You can go in if you like. The guide invites you into a room. It is empty, save for one paper sprawled on a stand in the room's centre. You walk up to it and read it. Rules: -When first joining the Xerolabs community, you start out with 100 x, the currency. -If your Pokemon evolves by level, it must achieve that level by battling first. Then, you may pay 10 X to evolve it if you so wish. If your Pokemon evolves by friendship, you must level it up at least five levels from its previous form (for example, if you have a Pichu at level 1, you must raise it to level 6 to evolve it. If you have a Chansey at level 10, you must raise it to level 15 to evolve it.) Then, you may pay 20 X to evolve it. Stone-based and other item-based or trade-based evolutions can be done at any level for a fee of 25 X. If your Pokemon needs friendship to evolve as well as an item, then it works in the same way as a friendship evolution. Location-based evolutions work in the same way as friendship and cost 20 X. -Your first adoption is free, but any additional adoptions will start at 25x and the price will rise by 25x for each new adoption. -If you wish to breed two of your Pokemon together, it's 40x. If you wish to breed your Pokemon to somebody else's, it's 25x from each of you. -Don't beg for any Pokemon. The shelter will restock in due time. -Don't lie about your money. It's virtual currency. That's just sad. -Pokemon can't be bred past the fourth generation. It's too painful for the spriter. -How do you get money? You can earn money by either fighting in the arena or winning a race, and also by playing some games and giveaways that might come along. -How else do you get money? In the same room as this list of rules there is a small sheet of paper for you to sign up for various jobs that help the Labs. This is the Job agency, where you can apply for a job to earn lots of X. -Abide by the rules. (That's a dumb rule, isn't it?) -If you have any questions, feel free to PM me about it and I'll do my best to answer. As you look out the window, you see some Pokemon running past. Your search loops back to the kennel room, and the Pokemon again stare at you from behind their bars. How you want to take one home! You examine the list of Pokemon currently here.   Bank: Noodles- 100x Shadow- 100x Zephyr- 100x IceMasterX- 75x Axphear- 100x Agent Myst- 165x Eievui- 25x Cyndaquil201- 100x The Mudkip And I- 145x Omega Latios- 120x Justanotherpokemonfan- 100x Satoshi- 100x Kiri- 100x Meppe- 100x Riku- 100x Anniku- 100x Empoleon_master- 100x EonWing- 100x ZapdosWins- 100x Charchim- 100x Happy adopting! |

Of course. I'll fix those two up right now. :3 More coming soon. Oh, and it'd be convenient if you put these in your sig. I'll keep a bank list. You both have $100x at the moment. And I have $100x too. |

*Puts in sig* Thanks. Maybe we could have battles with them, to make money if we're not such good spriters. |
