[center][color=skyblue][h3][b] S U U [/b][/h3][sup][b]NOGII ISLAND, OUTSIDE THE TAVERN[/b][/sup][/color][/center] Nixxie, being the fast creature that she was, took to the skies as Suu was walking from the tavern. It caught Suu off guard and her eyes locked onto the bird to see what startled the poor thing. Without even a word of warning a heavy pain landed on her head, placing her in a slight daze and causing her to buckle at the knees. [color=skyblue][b]"YEOOOWWWW!!!!"[/b][/color] the instinctive words came out of her mouth with little forethought as she dropped into a crouching position and lifted her palms up to cover the top of her head. In front of her, now in pain, self laid the lone, culprit item; a once delicious Mango that was splattered all over the ground. Suu pulled her hands away from her head and examined them, noticing that some of the juice had spilled into her hair and headpiece. She let out a heavy sigh of annoyance realising that before she could do anything productive she now had to go spend some time cleaning herself up from this fruity mess. It was not how she wanted to spend the day! As she crouched there, quickly becoming a sight for spectators to look at, she heard a nearby male both introduce himself and query how she had angered the local mango population. For the time being she was happy that he said "cute" and nothing along the lines of "sweet", otherwise she would have probably slapped him for being so cheesy. [color=skyblue][b]"I haven't done anything! Okay?!"[/b][/color] she snapped back at him, not realising that his question was more out of joyful concern rather than a scolding remark. [color=skyblue][b]"Who throws away a mango any ways?"[/b][/color] Suu tilted her head up to see Firebender peering over the edge of the tavern rooftop with a monkey like creature hanging off her neck. The sun blazed into her eyes, causing Suu to squint and miss out on the finer features the woman may have had. [b]"Haha! Well would you look at this?"[/b] To Suu the voice sounded familiar. She looked over at the entranceway to see who it was that was mocking her. With little curiosity towards the Waterbender that was innocently observing the incident outside, two men pushed their way out through the entrance, [b]"Butterfingers here is already in another mess."[/b] Next to them was the short Scraggy who was now finally given the opportunity to stare at Suu's eyes. It's fists clenched up, his heavy snorting intensified and it seemed to prep itself for a lunge tackle at the unfortunate Suu when it's owner bellowed out the angered Scraggy's name, demanding obedience. The Scraggy glared up at the human, challenging his master's authority, [b]"I'm not having you start up a fight and get me disqualified from the Tournament. Got it?"[/b] With an annoyed nod of approval the Pokemon instead kicked up a cloud of dust before turning to follow it's master away from the tavern, passing Satomi on their way into the town. The Earthbender looked at the girl as he passed, not saying a word but also judging her to see whether she would scold him or leave him be.
