"I'm planning on covering as many bases as I can when it comes to types," she said proudly, and even as she spoke, her tone and posture seemed to change as if suddenly, she were more serious about what she was saying. Even though the grin didn't leave her face, it was clear that she was as serious and determined as she'd ever been. "I'm starting with Charmander, so I need something that covers Fire and Flying's weaknesses. An Electric type should do that pretty nicely, and I'll back that up with a Grass type. I'll catch a Water type and use that to cover Ice as well, then I'll either go with a Dark or a Fighting type and a Fairy type to round off my team. But that'll probably all go out the window once I start catching some cute ones and I get totally distracted from type matchups!" Hibiki was, however, determined to get her hands on a Sylveon, no matter how long it took her.

When the professor walked in, Hibiki practically jumped up out of her seat, eyes shining and grinning from ear to ear at the professor. "I'm ready, I'm ready!" she told him, nodding emphatically and took off after him further into the lab, eager to finally pick her first Pokemon. Ahhh~ this is going to be so cool. I can hardly stand it!
