Al let out a deep sigh as he sat out in front of the Pokemon Center in Lavender Town, tossing cards into a fedora-type hat that lay on a small chest in front of him, his head leaning on a free hand as he did his best not to pass out from boredom. Overhead though Missy, his rather happy-go-lucky Misdreavus, flouted around chasing a butterfly back and forth above. 

"Its so dead today." Al said as he threw his hands up and flopped back against the side of the Center, then as he realized at how much 'bad taste' he had in his words, catching sight of the Tower not far away. "I dont know about you Missy but I think its about time to call it a day." he said with another long sigh, leaning forward to pick up the hat and place it on his head, not at all surprised to find that the cards he had been haphazardly throwing into it had suddenly disappeared. Standing up now the young man pulled his long purple hair back behind him and tied it in a low ponytail, letting it sway side to side as wisps of deep purple smog seemed to roll off in waves.

"Come on Lil Miss, maybe we will have better luck if we take a stroll around town." he said hopefully as Al hefted the small chest off the ground, finding the pair of straps that his used to carry the chest around like a backpack, and as the young man did the Ghost Pokemon that had been chasing the whimsical little butterfly let out a happy almost purring sound as she took her place perched on his shoulder, watching on as they went to venture around Lavender, heading towards the main entrance of town.
