Rose was standing outside of the large stone building deep in thought on what to do next. Brandon the informant of the Pewter City Gym told her that she needed to evolve her pokemon first, before taking on the gym leader Brock. He was the gym leader of Pewter City and he was known for his rock-hard willpower, many people respected and admired him. Her brother told her that Brock was one of the few truly professional pokemon trainers in Pewter City and he was a formidable opponent, not to be taken lightly. Rose felt tiny bit of confident knowing that grass had an advantage against rock pokemon. So Budew would probably fair well against the rock pokemon in Brock's gym after she evolved. Still she had no idea what to expect and a gym leader was no average pokemon trainer. Brock would probably have the weaknesses of his pokemon covered. Maybe she should just start with focusing on her own pokemon and make sure Budew would be able to evolve.

Budew shifted in her arms and Rose could tell she was getting restless. Sometimes she forgot how much she carried her pokemon around, it was hard not to do it. Budew had tiny legs and it was tough for her to keep up even if she walked extra slowly. So Rose figured it would be easier to carry her around, she was light as a feather and Budew always enjoyed being close to her. But like any grass pokemon she wanted to feel the earth beneath her feet once in a while. Rose kneeled down to the ground and Budew hopped out of her arms. She smiled and patted Budew's head, or rather the two vines that came together on top. Each vine had a colored dot, blue and red. When Budew evolved these dots would grow into two beautiful roses. That was something to look forward to.

"We'll just go for a little walk and see if we can find someone who wants to battle with us" Rose said cheerfully.
As they walked away from the gym Budew followed close behind and occasionally ran circles around her legs, so she had to stop in the middle of the street. When she looked down to see if it was alright, Budew just smiled happily. Maybe she was making sure Rose wouldn't forget about her due to her size. Budew was an easy pokemon to miss in the tall grass, but here on the streets of Pewter City that wasn't very likely to happen. Pewter City was a lot bigger than Pallet Town and it even made Rose a tad bit nervous. Budew spent most of her time in her family's garden so this was all new to her, she was probably just as nervous but excited at the same time.

"This city is really something else huh?" Rose began to say when she suddenly remembered something, stopping on her own accord, causing Budew to bump into her falling onto its back with a soft thud. It blinked a few times seeming to determine whether it was going to cry or not, but it got up from the ground without making much of a fuss.

"I promised to call Colton when we got here" She rolled her eyes and sighed, it was so typical of her to forget calling her brothers. I'm the worst sister ever. She thought mentally face palming herself. They wanted her to check in when she reached a new city, to make sure she arrive safely. If it were up to them they would be going with her on this adventure, but both of her brothers were close to challenging the elite four. Their Kanto adventure was nearly finished, she was just beginning. Rose opened up her messenger bag and started to search through it to find her phone. As usual everything inside was mixed up. She groaned, visibly annoyed and not looking forward to what was coming next. She put her bag on the ground and started taking out all of her things. A bottle of fresh spring water rolled out which her pokemon spotted immediately. Budew started to bounce around excitedly but failed to capture the attention of her trainer who after emptying nearly her entire bag had found her phone.

Rose dialed Colton's number and while she waited for him to pick up she was putting back all of her things with her free hand.
"This is Colton...." She heard the familial gruff voice of her oldest brother. It filled her with a sense of safety since he along with her other brother always watched over her.
"Hi....it's me, I got to Pewter City in one piece" Rose began with an amused giggle.
"That's awesome Rose!" Colton replied, she could hear from the way he said it he was both very proud and somewhat surprised.
"How's Budew doing?" He asked glad to know the tiny bulb had managed to keep his sister relatively safe, he didn't think she had it in her.
Rose looked down at her feet to see Budew trying to open the bottle of water with no success. She laughed and kneeled down to help her.
"She's doing good,.......I think the city and the bright sun are too much for her" Rose said still giggling a bit. She held her phone to her ear with her shoulder so she could uncap the bottle, pouring a small amount of water into the lid so Budew could drink.
"I'm trying to get her to evolve so I can challenge the gym leader"

"Yeah about that......" Colton began.
"I caught a pokemon for you to borrow just in case"
" He's really strong and very protective.......kind of like me" Colton laughed jokingly. He wanted to know his sister was safe and the best way to do that was to make sure she had a pokemon able to protect her. As much as his sister may favor grass pokemon they weren't the best fighters.
She laughed at her brothers joke.
"Oh alright.....thank you that's really nice" Rose said sounding a bit surprised. It was typical of her brothers to do something like this. He was worried she wouldn't be well protected without them around.

Out of the corner of her eye Rose could see someone approach her. A boy about her age and he was looking worse for wear, a beat expression on his face. Rose promised to call her brother soon and quickly hung up the phone. She was about to ask if he was okay when he began to tell her a confusing story. As he continued to explain what had happened to him she tried to retrace her steps in Viridian Forest.
Did she drop a potion? Obviously she had but she didn't even notice it. It sounded like her clumsiness had saved this guy's pokemon. She thanked her lucky stars she had dropped it when she did. And he was worried she would mind him using it? Ridiculous!
"Oh wow...." Was all that Rose could say at first. She didn't know where to start but the burning question whether or not his pokemon was alright weighed heavy on her mind.
"How is your pokemon doing now?" Rose asked, feeling incredibly sorry for the young pokemon trainer. She really wanted him to know it was no big deal and if she'd seen him in the forest she would have helped him out right away.
"It's no big deal really, I'm happy you used it to save your pokemon" "I mean that's what potions are for right?" She tried to relieve the tension a bit.
"I didn't even see you there in the forest, I helped out this Caterpie you see...." Rose began to explain.
"He was poisoned and I used some medicine to heal him but when I tried to release him back into the forest I got scared by a Kakuna" When she was retelling her story Rose suddenly realized how ridiculous she sounded. Running from a Kakuna which couldn't even chase her. A blush began to creep up on her cheeks, she felt kind of ashamed at her fear of something so measly.
"It just....kind of startled me and I.....ran"

She returned to look at the pokemon trainer in front of her.
"Are you okay?, you look kind of worse for wear...." She trailed off not really sure how to help him. She really wanted to do something for him, to make him feel better. Suddenly she had an idea, maybe a tasty sandwich would cheer him up. Food always helped out in any situation. She'd packed her bag full of food not knowing when she'd reach the next town. Her brothers could laugh all they wanted but she never left the house unprepared. Rose rummaged through her bag for a bit and fished out a grilled chicken sandwich.
"Would you like a sandwich, it's grilled chicken" She said smiling, holding up the sandwich to him.
Rose pointed to the bench she sat on earlier, when she was eating ice cream with Budew.
"We can sit there if you want, you can tell me all about what happened in the forest"

Not everyone made their first post yet is that right?
Well I got a post up. It's not really what I thought it was going to be and I don't think it's all that good but I got something ;)
I've met the informant at Brock's gym yaaay! XD
Rose was sitting comfortably on a wooden bench outside of the pokemon centre of Pewter City, enjoying strawberry ice cream with Budew at her side.

"I'm glad we got through the forest in one piece" Rose said to the tiny bud pokemon sitting next to her, Budew nodded in agreement and closed her eyes to enjoy the sunshine. Budew didn't need any food and got all her nutrients the same way plants did, by feeding of water and sunlight. They had a really close bond and Rose talked to Budew often, even before she left to become a pokemon trainer. Her mother had a couple of pokemon around the house most of which were grass type pokemon. They lived in the garden and helped to care for the flowers and plants. Grass pokemon had a special connection to nature and that's why Rose loved them. She felt that same connection and while they might not be the strongest or the toughest looking pokemon they were her favorite. The Budew she owned was a gift of her brother. He had caught it especially for her and luckily Budew liked her instantly. So when she left she knew Budew was the pokemon she wanted at her side.

"Do you think we did the right thing, leaving Caterpie behind in the forest?" She asked looking down at Budew. When Rose mentioned Caterpie her pokemon moved closer to her until it touched her side. It stayed like that wanting to be near to its trainer. Budew had fun playing with Caterpie earlier in the forest and liked him right away. Maybe she was sad Rose had to leave Caterpie behind?
"We'll find you a friend soon, don't worry Budew" "You can't beat the gym leaders all by yourself" She said in a reassuring voice patting Budew's head.

Rose had seen the Gym when she arrived in Pewter City but didn't go near it yet. She didn't know what kind of pokemon the gym leader even used. She was hesitant because she didn't know if Budew could beat them all on her own, she would hate to put her though too much. She wanted to prove she could actually accomplish something that had nothing to do with the way she looked. Rose didn't want her success to depend on that. The problem being she wasn't very confident in her battling skills.

It was a nice day and for some reason Rose had enough of doubting herself with every step she took. So she rose from the bench and scooped Budew up in her arms. I'm going to see what this gym is all about. She thought striding towards the Pewter Gym with purposeful steps. When she reached the gym she was greeted by an employee of the Gym.

"Good morning my name is Brandon and welcome to...." He began his standard speech but then he looked up to face her and lost his cool for a few seconds, he nervously checked his watch and suddenly realized it was already noon.
"Oh right good afternoon, excuse me" He offered her his apology and rubbed the back of his head somewhat nervously. He sucked in his breath before continuing, but couldn't seem to look away.
"Welcome to the Pewter City Gym, where you will face Brock who specialized in rock type pokemon.

Rose felt her cheeks flush at the reaction of the Brandon. Sometimes people behaved like that around her but it made her more nervous than anything. It was really embarrassing for her as well. Brandon noticed the Budew the girl was holding in her arms.
"Are you planning to face Brock with that cutie?" He said pointing to her Budew.

"I um not really sure yet, do you think we could do it?" Rose asked sounding a bit unsure of herself.

Brandon hesitated not wanting to bring her down but the tiny bud in her arms would be crushed underneath Brock's rock types. She did have the type advantage but he doubted that would be enough.

"Well...." He began trying to find the right words so he wouldn't discourage her too much.
"Grass pokemon like the one you're holding are strong against rock pokemon but it's too small" "I'd say you better let it evolve first."

Brandon kind of confirmed what she'd already been thinking of. Budew was really close to evolving but she needed another pokemon battle with a strong pokemon. Rose was sure that would be enough to let her evolve. She smiled at Brandon and looked down for a minute locking a piece of hair behind her ear. She squinted to read the name tag attached to his shirt.
"Thanks for the tips....Brandon"
"Do you know if there are any trainers around town?"
She decided to put his tips to use right away, if Budew evolved she would be able to challenge Brock. Winning her first badge would show everyone and herself she could really become the pokemon trainer she wanted to be.

It's no probem at all! I really enjoyed your post a lot :)
There is no need to hurry things along we should have the most fun we can ^.^

Great additions you made to Matthew's sheet, I like how you gave Hope a fear of bug pokemon after she got attacked by Beedril.
The character tab is really neat like that, we can use it to keep track of things that happen during the story. Like Hope's fear of bug pokemon and any new pokemon we catch or "acquire" like hoppip :)

He's soooo cute! I think Rose is totally going to steal him from you. Kidding XD
I will be posting tomorrow because I want to think things through for a bit, to see if I can come up with something good.
I'm here and very much alive, how are you guys doing?
Great first post!, it was really funny too :)
I didn't interact with Matthew yet since we'll probably be interacting a lot in the future too. But you can start up interaction if you like.
Budew sat contently in the arms of Rose, the picture of serenity while her trainer still squealed and jumped at every sound she heard in the forest. Rose loved nature so why was she so skittish in the forest, usually the most peaceful place one could think of. It wasn't the forest itself that scared her but the things that were lurking in the undergrowth. She wasn't the most experienced pokemon trainer she would be the first to admit that. Together with budew she'd participated in a handful of battles nearly of all which she lost. The small pokemon was still a bit too frail to go up against pokemon that had already evolved and knew powerful moves. Her brother told her it was close to evolving and after it turned into a Roselia it would have a better chance in pokemon battles. Rose was worried the bug pokemon in Viridian Forest could seriously hurt her Budew. Bug pokemon evolved very quickly and she might have to face a fully evolved pokemon.

Hopefully she could get in some practice before that happened.

Rose was so lost in her own thoughts that she wasn't looking where she was going. Suddenly her Budew jumped from her arms landing on the ground, making tiny noises to draw the attention of her trainer. Rose realized her tiny bud pokemon was no longer in her arms and looked down at the ground and raised her brows in surprise. There was a small green caterpillar laying on its back on the middle of the path. It was a Caterpie and it was in very bad shape. Its eyes were closed and Rose could see his chest going up and down slowly but very faintly. It had a nasty mark on the side of its tiny body. It looked like the mark of a stinger but Rose didn't touch it, afraid she'd hurt the pokemon even more.
Budew gently nudged Caterpie's head with one of the vines on her head. It slowly opened his eyes but couldn't do much else.

Her heart went out to the tiny bug and Rose immediately began to rummage through her messenger bag to find the potions and the antidotes she bought earlier. Caterpie probably got poisoned by one of the other pokemons in the forest. If the cashier hadn't advised her to get a couple of antidotes she wouldn't have been able to help this Caterpie. So it just goes to show that you need to stock up regardless, you never knew who needed it. Rose momentarily forgot about her surroundings, no longer bothered by the lack of light filtering through or the creepy shadows of the trees. She very softly sprayed some of the antidote on Caterpie's side before she fed him the potion through its mouth, all with great care and gentleness.

It took only a couple of minutes and Caterpie was up and walking again.....well crawling was more like it but hey. Rose was amazed at how fast the medicine worked and she smiled happily glad to see Caterpie was okay again. She rose from the ground and smoothed her dress, all the while Caterpie kept looking at her with his large doe eyes.
"So where did you come from?" Rose asked the tiny pokemon at her feet. Obviously it did not say anything back.

She took a good look around her, there were trees and bushes at both sides of the path. What should I do with him now? Even though it would be fun to have a new pokemon Caterpie would probably be best of in the forest until it evolved. It wasn't easy to train a fragile pokemon like Caterpie she knew from experience.

Budew began to play with Caterpie teasing him with her vines and running circles around it. It didn't seem to mind much, in fact judging from the gleam in his eyes he seemed to enjoy it. Rose bent down to their level and scooped Caterpie up in her arms much like she always carried Budew around.
"Alright enough you two" She said to the two pokemon, trying to sound firm but failing miserably. Rose could feel Caterpie sticking to her arms but she wasn't grossed out by it, he was harmless really. It would probably be best to put him into the trees where he could munch on the leaves. Determined to bring the bug pokemon back where it belonged Rose carefully stepped into the bushes to the nearest tree. She tried to get Caterpie off of her but he held on tight with his sticky feet. It tickled when she tried to move him.

Rose laughed as she tried to get Caterpie to let her go.
"Come on Caterpie you can't stick to me forever" She giggled and shook her head finding its clinginess quite adorable. "You have to go home"
When she finally got him on a steady tree branch she was suddenly looking into a pair of sinister black beady eyes. A cacuna had lowered itself from the top branches to see what all the noise was about. Without realizing Rose let out a scream, one she immediately regretted. She quickly covered her mouth, her eyes widened. It would be pretty stupid to wait around and see what happened so without further thought she snatched Caterpie back from the tree, grabbed her bag from the ground and put Budew back into her poke ball. She made a mad dash for the path and kept running without turning back, Caterpie still in her arms.


Name: Rose
Age: 16
Personality:
Rose is a kind and sweet young girl, who puts the needs of others before her own. People usually expect her to have a lot of confidence due to her beauty but actually she's really insecure. The fact that people think she's beautiful makes her incredibly self conscious and doubtful of herself. She doesn't know if they like her for her or because of the way she looks. Aside from her insecurities she has an adventurous spirit which often forces her to push aside her fears and take a leap of faith. She has an almost childish curiousity and loves to go to new places and cities. When she grows closer to someone she will start to feel more at ease which brings out her more mischivous side.
Backstory:
Rose grew up in a tight knit family with two older brothers to watch over her. Her mother worked at the much famed flower shop in the sprawling metropolis Goldenrod City. She doesn't remember much of her father and the only thing she knowns for sure is that he and her mother seperated when she was really young. To provide the flower shop with the flowers they needed for sale Rose and her mother grew their own garden at the back of the house. It was well known throughout Goldenrod City that the flowers of the shop were of superb quality. People from all over Johto came to Goldenrod City to buy their flowers there.

Her older brothers were very protective of her, sticking up for her when needed. They kept all the boys who were interested in her miles away. When her brothers left to become pokemon trainers a lot of the boys in New Bark Town were finally able to ask her out. Rose soon felt they only wanted her as a girlfriend to show her off to their friends. So she decided she wanted out of New Bark Town and become a pokemon trainer herself. Nobody thought she was able to do it and she wanted to prove them wrong.
