[h3][color=8dc73f]Michael Stint[/color][/h3][b][Route 701 - Pokemon Center][/b] [@Ninian] [@Sketcher] Well, they were on their way. Michael looked to his two Pokemon as he sat out behind the Pokemon Center they were at. Turtwig was calmly munching on Pokemon Food, while Glameow was eating her personal favorite Sitrus Berry. While she was doing that, he was brushing her, something she had come to enjoy. [color=8dc73f]"Well, we're on our way now. According to my Pokegear, the next city up ahead is Vertigo. It has a contest hall there... should we go for it? Or maybe Gym Battles? If that's the case..."[/color] He continued looking at the map on his small device. [color=8dc73f]"...Then Riviera Town is where we'd want to go. What should we do?"[/color] Turtwig looked up from his food, cocking his head slightly. [color=1a7b30][/color] Glameow looked over to her Grass Type companion. [color=gray][/color] Well, it seemed his Pokemon were as divided as he was. Luckily, a welcome distraction revealed itself as what looked like a teenage girl tripped over another trainer's Totodile. It seemed they were both fine, luckily. Michael chuckled and headed over towards the trainers. [color=8dc73f]"Couldn't help but notice that accident, at least you both are okay."[/color] He looked at the clearly veteran trainer's Pokemon. [color=8dc73f]"You've got some cool Pokemon! My name's Michael, by the way. Michael Stint."[/color] [h3][color=0072bc]Brooks[/color][/h3][b][Route 701 - Pokemon Center][/b] [@Sketcher] They had been patrolling the woods for some time now, and there was luckily no sign of trouble. Both he and his Feraligatr were getting a bit hungry, so they headed to the nearby Pokemon Center. [color=0072bc]"Head on around back, I'll be out there in a bit."[/color] He told his trusted partner, who nodded and headed around the back of the building. Brooks headed on inside, up to the front desk of the center. [color=0072bc]"Could you take a look at these Pokemon, Nurse Joy? I just want to make sure they're all ready to go."[/color] The Nurse stood up, setting a Pokeball Tray on the counter. [color=f49ac2]"Of course, just place their Pokeballs on here and I'll do a quick checkup on them."[/color] Brooks nodded, setting five Pokeballs on the tray. With that, he headed out back to meet up with his partner. When he got out there, there was a small group apparently chatting outside. One thing in particular caught his eye: A Metagross, with what looked like a Mega Stone on its leg. [color=0072bc]"Metagross, eh? We haven't fought one of those before, have we?"[/color] He asked Feraligatr. Feraligatr shook his head in reply. [color=0072bc]"Well, it's been a while since we've had a good challenge, what do you say?"[/color] Feraligatr gave a thumbs up to its trainer, indicating he was ready for battle. Brooks nodded his head, and walked over to the group. [color=0072bc]"Excuse me for interupting, but I noticed your Metagross has a Mega Stone. I was wondering if you'd like to have a battle against my Feraligatr, one on one."[/color] He said, raising up his hand in a fist to show his Mega Ring on his finger. [h3][color=c4df9b]Sierra Hymn[/color][/h3][b][Vertigo City - Pokemon Center][/b] They'd finally made it. It had taken a few days, but they finally arrived in Vertigo City. After such a long journey, the first thing Sierra did was head to the Pokemon Center. Once inside, she got a room and settled in. She held a light green Pokegear in her hand. [color=c4df9b]"Well, according to this, the Vertigo Contest isn't for three more days. So we've got plenty of time to practice our routine!"[/color] Her Pokemon, on the other hand, weren't in the mood to do any practicing. They were tired out from the walk from Riviera Town. [color=f7941d][/color] Said Fennekin, laying down on the bed. [color=f49ac2][/color] Replied Deerling, laying down on the floor next to the bed. Seeing her Pokemon ready for naptime, Sierra sighed. [color=c4df9b]"Alright, you guys win, we'll start practicing tomorrow. You can stay here, I'm going to go out and explore the city a little. I'll be back soon!"[/color] She said, closing the door behind her as she headed out.
