Default Introduction: The dark scientist cometh.

Greetings. I am Professor Nightshade. I specialize in the study and training of Ghost-type Pokémon. Like many other esteemed scientists, I attempt to see Pokémon in a realistic, scientific light, without losing any of the magical qualities such creatures possess. However, I also attempt to mix science with superstition, to better understand the more unnatural species, primarily Ghost-types. After all, highly advanced science is indistinguishable from magic. So why cannot highly advanced science explain the magical qualities of the dead?

Science aside, I prefer a character front. I, as Prof. Nightshade, am somewhat of a hermit. I have many laboratories across Pokéarth, though my current dwelling is underneath an adandoned house I discovered, not far from Lentimas Town in the Unova region, that is teeming with ghostly activity. Why, I do not know—yet. During my studies, my Ghost-type Pokémon have matured well. I've challenged the Unovan Gyms, and won with little effort. I continued to Unova's Elite Four and the Pokémon World Tournament, learning both about my Pokémon and about myself in the process. Hearing of the Victory Road Gym League, I investigated at once. This is a prime opportunity to continue my study of these mystical Pokémon's combat abilities. Not to mention the sheer entertainment of battling. Who knows, perhaps I'll even become a Gym Leader in time!

Your passion for battling interests me...I think we'll get along just fine. >:] I am Reuniclus, the former VR Psychic gym leader, it's a pleasure to read your mind. hehe We've been getting a lot of competitive battlers lately, hopefully we'll get a chance to see those abilities to the fullest. ;D

That's not science if it cannot be falsified.

Science is a system of statements based on direct experience, and controlled by experimental verification. Verification in science is not, however, of single statements but of the entire system or a sub-system of such statements.

Anyway, hi.

Be careful! I have a Silph Scope. You're not getting by without me welcoming you. Ohai! Okay, I'm done. You can pass.
