[h3][color=39b54a]Lily[/color][/h3] After such a long flight, Lily stood up once the all clear was given and stretched her tired muscles. After this, she grabbed her bright yellow travel pack from the overhead luggage compartment, and slung it on her back. Her dad would take care of all their other things, she had her own objective. She had been uprooted from Johto before she could begin here Pokemon Journey, and although she had a starter Pokemon, she never had the chance to get a Pokedex. She was now moving at a moderately fast pace through the main airport, past the luggage claim and towards the exit. [color=39b54a]"Alright, remember, Professor Maple's lab on the north side of town."[/color] She stopped for a second, a thought coming to mind. [color=39b54a]"Oh yeah, I almost forgot!"[/color] She pulls out a Pokeball from the backpack, holding out in front of her. [color=39b54a]"Chikorita, come on out!"[/color] The capsule opened, revealing the small grass type Pokemon Chikorita. It looked around for a moment, then stretched out itself. [color=39b54a]"I know, it was a long flight. But we're here now, this is Viore!"[/color] She started out the door with Chikorita on her heels, and as soon as she got outside all her thoughts were blurs. The place was beautiful, just perfectly blended with nature. She started strolling down the street, admiring all the buildings. It was an amazing contrast, the natural feel of this place compared to the hustle and bustle of Goldenrod. She was so taken into the surroundings, however, she didn't notice where she was walking herself. This resulted how one would assume, she bumped into someone and fell to the ground. [color=39b54a]"Ow... oh man, I'm so sorry! I wasn't watching where I was going..."[/color] She looked up to see who she had bumped into, with Chikorita standing next to her. [hr] [h3][color=f7941d]Brent[/color][/h3] After that short stay and bite to eat, Brent and Cyndaquil were headed once more towards Professor Maple's lab. After crossing the street over to the far side next to the airport, he stopped for a moment to check something on his new Pokegear. That's when he felt something bump into him, followed by a soft thud behind him. He turned to find a girl about his age on the ground, wearing a green tanktop and pink miniskirt. [color=f7941d]"Hey, you okay?"[/color] asked Brent, lending a hand to help her up. She took it, and when she stood up he found they were about the same height as well. [color=39b54a]"Yeah, I'm okay. I'm still so sorry for bumping into you."[/color] She looked over him herself, judging him the same. Brent's Cyndaquil popped its head up over his shoulder, looking at the girls Chikorita. [color=f7941d]"It's all good, my name's Brent, and this is my partner, Cyndaquil."[/color] He held out his hand again, this time in a handshake. Lily nervously held hers out the same. [color=39b54a]"Mines... Lily, and this is Chikorita. Nice to meet you."[/color] So her name was Lily, she seemed like a nice girl, even if she was a little nervous from her voice. [color=f7941d]"Same here, I take it you're not from around here."[/color] Lily nodded, suddenly remembering what she was supposed to have been doing. [color=39b54a]"Oh yeah! I'm heading to the Maple Pokemon Lab, but I got a little distracted."[/color] Brent actually lit up a bit after hearing this. [color=f7941d]"Well, what do you know, I'm heading that way myself. If you want I can show you the quickest way there."[/color] Lily beamed, happy that it she seemed to already have made a friend in this new Region. [color=39b54a]"Really? That would be great!"[/color] Brent turned and waved in his direction. [color=f7941d]"Alright then, follow me."[/color] The duo and their Pokemon started their way across town once again. [hr] [h3][color=gray]Unknown[/color][/h3] [color=gray]"Where'd that stupid thing go?"[/color] Two people are in a nearby forest, clearly not happy about something, or someone. [color=gray]"That thing has been messing with our mission for weeks, I'm glad we've finally got the go ahead to take it down."[/color] There is a rustling in the bushes, causing both these people to jump. [color=gray]"Was that it? Let's check and see!"[/color] The duo take off further into the forest, not noticing that they themselves are being watched. A figure in the shadows of a tree peaks out from behind it, and slowly moves up after them, not letting them out of its sight.
