Robert arrived at Professor Kukui's lab and knocked to see if anyone was home. A man in a lab coat, with no shirt, opened door and said, "Yes, can I help you?" "Umm, hello, is this Professor Kukui's house?" he asked. "Why yes it is and I happened to be Kukui," the man said, "so what brings you here?" Robert was a bit surprised to hear that he was Professor Kukui. "I'm actually here to pick up a trial badge," he said to the professor. "Say no more," Kukui said, "come on in." Robert and Raichu went inside and were impressed by the inside of his house. Kukui then presented Robert with a trial badge, "Here you are. Can't participate in island trails without this." "Thanks professor!" Robert said happily, and attached the badge to his bag. "Raichu rai!" Raichu cried out. Kukui noticed Raichu and showed some interest in it, "Say, is this Raichu yours?" "Why yes it is," Robert replied. Kukui proceeded to petting Raichu, "It's been a while since I saw a Raichu like this one." "Uh, what do you mean?" Robert asked. "I take this is your first time in Alola?" asked Kukui. Robert nodded. "Well, I'm sure you'll find out soon," he said. Robert still didn't know what he meant, but just shrugged it off. "Ok, see ya professor!" Robert and Raichu left the lab and went back to find the others.
