Pokémon Adventures Thunder and Lightning/Chapter One

Lightning wakes up and gets out of bed, clearly still half asleep. She drags her feet behind her as she walks outside. She brushes her teeth and walks downstairs, making a terribly burnt piece of toast. She smells it and takes a bite out of it. Her mother then walks into the room. Sometime later, Lightning is shown in her usual attire and walks off to Professor Root's lab, where Adrian is standing outside the door. Adrian goes quiet, realizing what he just said. Adrian nods and Lightning enters the lab, finding no one inside. She cocks an eyebrow and looks around, confirming there is indeed no one in the lab. She then finds a few Poké Balls and picks one up. She screams and drops the Poké Ball, turning and seeing Thunder standing behind her. Thunder quietly points to a house outside the window with a "sold" sign in front of it.
 * Mom: Lightning! I... are you eating burnt toast?
 * Lightning: I couldn't be bothered to make another one.
 * Mom: Your teeth look kind of yellow.
 * Lightning: I didn't want to brush them properly.
 * Mom: Well, I hope you don't feel that way for very long! you know what today is right?
 * Lightning: No.
 * Mom: Professor Root wants you as his personal assistant!
 * Lightning: Huh. Maybe I'll go... I guess. I see no problem with it.
 * Mom: Oh come now, show a little more enthusiasm!
 * Lightning: Yay...
 * Mom: That's kinda better.
 * Adrian: Hey, Lightning!
 * Lightning: Hi Adrian... uh... what're you doing here? did you get an offer too?
 * Adrian: Oh, no, I was waiting... for... you...
 * Adrian: ...That might've been a little creepy, huh...?
 * Lightning: Kinda... yeah...
 * Adrian: Yeah, that's what I thought...
 * Lightning: Well... I guess it's fine... just, you know... don't do it again...
 * ???: What're you doing?
 * Thunder: This is Professor Root's lab...
 * Lightning: I, uh, I was invited to be an assistant!
 * Thunder: I think I would've heard about you if that were true...
 * Lightning: Who are you?
 * Thunder: Thunder, also known as Professor Root's assistant.
 * Lightning: How... how do I know you're not lying? I've never seen you before in my life!
 * Thunder: Questions?
 * Lightning: How did you become his assistant so fast?
 * Thunder: I'm good.
