The Ribald Tale of Tim!

[Ganyu]

He exited the house without a word of farewell, and in a few strides, found himself knocking on the Birches' door.

[The Nonexistent Tazz]

He quickly realized the door was already open, and doubly realized that in the Pokemon World, rare is the door you're not allowed to immediately enter.

[ShadowJay]

He was greeted by a girl about the same age as he was (after entering Hoenn), and she introduced herself as May.

[The Nonexistent Tazz]

She seemed to be in a bit of a rush, as walked out of the doorway, stating that her dad was probably at the town's Pokemon laboratory if you needed him before walking right out of the door.

[ShadowJay]

Tim headed toward the lab, but stopped when he heard a cry for help from a man coming from a northern route.

[Sir Sivelos]

Being a generally nice guy, Tim ran over to help whoever screamed.

[ShadowJay]

The man appeared to be middle-aged, and he was wearing a white lab coat.

[Sir Sivelos]

And he was being chased by what appeared to be a small grey-and-black furred dog.

[The Nonexistent Tazz]

Tim was about to roll his eyes, until he noticed bite marks in the man's leg and that there were two of the aforementioned 'dogs' chasing the man, as well as three stray red and white orbs dropped on a bag by the ground.

[Sir Sivelos]

Upon inspecting the orbs, he found small descriptions on the back reading, "POKEBALLS PROPERTY OF BIRCH LABORATORY."
