[b][u]A collaboration between Shadow and Ryu[/u][/b]

Acacia was ten seconds away from attacking Sycamore again, but her Scizor still had a strong clamp on her arm. He wasn't hurting her by any means, but he was sure not about to allow her to get away and strangle the man like she wanted to. Her pokemon looked behind her and she rose an eyebrow. Not a moment later, she felt a tap on her shoulder and turned around to see a girl holding a Skitty that appeared to be fainted. The girl asked for help with her pokemon and Acacia gave a smile. 

[color=aqua]"Of course, one sec."[/color] she said, throwing a glance at Scizor and waiting for him to release her arm.

[color=red]"Do [b]you[/b] need help? You seem to be a little stuck,"[/color] Shay giggled looking at the older girl being held by the Scizor. The sight was almost hysterical and made Shay want to double over laughing. [color=red]"My name is Shaylin, but you can call me Shay."[/color] Acacia nodded to the girl and introduced herself as well. [color=aqua]"Nice to meet you Shay - Scizor let my arm go already - I'm Acacia."[/color] she would say, looking between the two. 

"Zor." her pokemon said, releasing her arm and stepping away. 

[color=aqua]"Thank you. Now,"[/color] she reached into her pouch and pulled out a small, golden, diamond-shaped object. [color=aquamarine]"this is a revive. Feed it to Skitty and she should be OK."[/color] she said, holding the item out to the girl.

Shay reached out and gently took the revive from Acacia and held it near Skitty's mouth. She opened the pokemon's mouth and placed it on her tongue. As the revive touched her tongue Skitty sprung to life in Shay's arms. Skitty jumped down and danced around Shay who smiled and said, [color=red]"Thank you so much Acacia, I was worried sick!"[/color]

[color=aqua]"No problem. Your pokemon seems really energetic. She's cute."[/color] Acacia said, kneeling down and holding her hand out to the pokemon, hoping she would come to her. Glancing up at Shay, she asked [color=aqua]"I assume you're here for another pokemon, right? Are you going to be travelling?"[/color]

[color=red]"Yeah! I wanna be the best Pokemon Breeder in Kalos!"[/color] Shay exclaimed as Skitty pranced over to Acacia and rubbed her head on Acacia's hand. [color=red]"I assume that you're the Professor's assistant, correct?"[/color]

[color=aqua]"Ah- I'm his apprentice."[/color] she clarified, petting Skitty's ears. [color=aqua]"I'm going to be a Pokemon Professor one day, and despite how much he gets on my nerves, he's one of the best to study under."[/color] After giving a bit of love to the girl's pokemon, Acacia stood and crossed her arms. [color=aqua]"I think its great if you want to be a Breeder. Though it's hard work. You'll need pokemon that are tough and work hard too... Actually, hold on."[/color] Looking around, she held up her index finger, a signal for the girl to wait there, and she walked away, looking for a certain pokemon.

Shay followed Acacia's directions and stood there. [color=red]"She seems nice, what do you think Skitty?"[/color] Shay said, directing the Question at her pokemon.

"Skitty, Ski!" came the excited responce. Shay remembered about the 3 boxes of suplies that Acacia had left while she was giving her speech. She walked over to where the boxes lay and snatched up one item from each box. A Pokedex, a Holocaster, and a Map. [color=red]"I guess we could contact her with this if we need help,"[/color] Shay said to Skitty, walking back to where she was told to wait. When she got there she began to fiddle with the pokedex as she hummed.

Acacia had made her way to a tree where she knew this certain pokemon would be sleeping up on the top branches. She looked up and saw the small chick pokemon resting, just as she suspected. Even with the noise and excitement of so many people around, the pokemon still slept peacefully as it always had. She rose her hands and cupped them around her mouth.

[color=aqua]"Hey! Torchic, wake up!"[/color] she called, relieved when the pokemon stirred and looked down at her. [color=aquamarine]"Hey, come down here."[/color] she told it, holding her arms out for him to jump down. The pokemon stood and wiggled its feathers, fluffing up cutely before hopping down into Acacia's arms. It chirped at her, wondering what she wanted. [color=aqua]"Guess what little guy,"[/color] she told it, turning to walk back towards Shay. [color=aqua]"I found a new trainer that I think could use your help. You're the toughest pokemon in here after all, aren't you little guy?"[/color] she said, petting its head. Placing it down on the grass, she knelt and pointed to Shay. [color=aqua]"There she is. Go say hi."[/color] The Torchic excitedly ran over to the girl.

Shay was startled when the little pokemon came running over to her. [color=red]"Hi there! Are you the one Acacia was talking about?"[/color] she said to Torchic as she knelt down to pet it. As she knelt down the two pokemon began to jump around and play. [color=red]"I see you two are friends already!"[/color] Shay laughed, glad to see that they got along. She pulled out some Pokechow from her bag and offered it to the Torchic who eagerly gobbled it up.

Acacia walked over to Shay and the pokemon who were seeming to already get along with each other. Placing a hand on her hip, she looked at Shay. [color=aqua]"So, that looks like a good sign to me. They like eachother."[/color] Noticing she had picked up a map and the other items, she went to get a few pokeballs for her too. Returning and handing them to her, she said [color=aquamarine]"So, is there anything else you need? Any questions?"[/color]

[color=red]"One thing,"[/color] Shay started, standing and taking the pokeballs then grabbing her Holocaster, [color=red]"I was wondering if we could register eachother in the Holocaster, incase I get lost or need help, or if there is anything important you need to tell me."[/color] Shay held out her holocaster, allowing Acacia to take it from her. Shaking her head, Acacia pushed the girl's hand back. [color=aqua]"Wait, it's easy. Here let me show you."[/color] she said, going to stand next to her. She pushed a button on it and watched as the thing turned on. [color=aqua]"First you put in your name then hold it up so it can take a picture of you. After that, the system will turn on and automatically register everyone around you who has one that is activated."[/color] Taking out hers, she powered it on and showed it to Shay. [color=aqua]"See thats me... and at the bottom are people around me with their's on. You can tap their picture and request for them to be added."[/color] she said, pointing to some things. [color=aqua]"Go ahead and register yours and you'll see. Then I'll add you."[/color]

[color=red]"Wow! Thats so cool! The Pokenavs back in Hoen couldn't do that!"[/color] Shay followed Acacia's directions exactly as she had originally said them. When she had finished, her screen appeared exactly as Acacia's had a minute ago. She scrolled through the faces on the screen, [i]Woah, there are so many people here[/i], she thought. [color=red]"So to register you, all I do is tap your face, right?"[/color]

[color=aqua]"Right. Once you do that, your face will pop up and then I can either accept or decline the request. Go ahead, I'll show you."[/color] Acacia said with a smile. [color=aqua]"There are a lot of faces since we're in the city. It's even worse at the center, but better in the smaller towns."[/color]

Shay tapped Acacia's face and a message appeared on screen, it said "Are you sure you would like to register Acacia Willow?" Shay tapped the "Yes" button and looked over at Acacia. She held her Holo Caster out to show Shay and tapped the 'Yes' button as well, having been asked the same thing. [color=aqua]"There, now if you have any questions about anything you can go ahead and send me a message. Also, I suggest you add the Professor as well, in case I cant be reached. There are some places like caves and such were there is no signal to recieve messages."[/color] she explained.

[color=red]"Okay, I'll add him too."[/color] Shay said, tapping the Professor's face and then tapping "Yes". [color=red]"There. Anybody else you think I should add while I'm at it?"[/color]

[color=aqua]"Nope, I think thats about it. Make sure to add some friends you meet as well."[/color] Hearing a sound behind her, she turned to see it was Wigglytuff calling for her. Looking back at Shay, she held out a hand. [color=aqua]"It was nice meeting you. I gotta go now!"[/color]

[color=red]"It was nice meeting you too! And thanks for all the help! I hope we run across eachother again."[/color] Shay said shaking Acacia's hand then waving as she walked away. Realizing she hadn't yet, Shay threw a pokeball at Torchic and caught him without hassle. Skitty jumped up on her shoulder and Torchic saundered behind uttering the occacional "Tor!" as they walked.
