Marina
It was a long time coming but team rocket had finally arrived in the alola region to dominate it and make it their own..... Just kidding. Jade stood at the ramp of the marina. He looked around the city his black hat atop his head. The only thing that remained left of his rocket uniform. He looked down towards his feet and saw his partner sitting it's self at his feet. "Well buddy, we are finally here. The Alola region." Then one of the workers on the ferry walked by and saw the Vulix and smirked.
"Well look at that,... you must be a foreigner." The man said. Catching Jade's attention. He tilted his head and looked in the man's direction.
"How can you tell that just from my pokemon?" He asked. The man gestured to the Vulpix soon after.'
"Well you see, Vuplix in our region are a different color. Come to think of it... their a different type too." The man explained and gained a raised brow from Jade. Interesting.... Jade thought. This region has the same pokemon from his region but they look different. For once he will try to obtain pokemon here without stealing them... and getting to keep them to boot. Giovanni never really let us keep any of the pokemon we managed to steal. All went to the organization. What a load of bullshit now that he thought of it. He shook his and tipped his hat to the man. "Thanks,.. Anyhow you have any idea where the lab is? I want to register as a trainer for the Alola Region." He asked.
The man nodded and pointed him in the right direction. He looked in the direction and then back at the man nodding once more. "Thanks" He added and the man returned the nod. He bent down and lifted Vulpix off the ground and held him. He removed his hat and placed it on top of it's head. "Well let's get going..." He said. He walked off the dock and headed towards said lab. All he had to do is register. He didn't need a starter for all he knew he had his starter. He was half way towards the lab when he saw a interesting shop. It was a smoothie shop, what was odd was some of the flavors were new to him. Being from the Johto region he didn't see the exotic berries you would see here or even in the Hoenn region. He looked to his Vulpix and then back to the shop. He smiled and put the pokemon down and headed for the door. "Come on Rex, let's get us a smoothie to reward ourselves for getting this far..." The pokemon barked and followed after him......
....... soon after with some money spent he walked out with two smoothies. One for him and one for Rex. He knelt down and let the Vulpix take a long drag from the straw before retracting and shaking its head. "Take it easy,... I know it's good but come on..." He said as his pokemon had gotten a brain freeze. He sipped into his own smoothie. It sure was refreshing. He stood up and they began walking towards the lab again. Every so often stopping so his pokemon can drink some more of the smoothie..... Suddenly he felt a bump and was almost nearly knocked over.....
Hotaru
Apartment
Hotaru was just fixing up her choker trying to get it so it didn't look crooked. After a good solid minute of adjusting she turned to her bed. "Well what you think?" She asked as she held out her hands. Nephrite the houndour looked up from his spot on the bed and barked. She took that as a approving bark. Well it looked like it was one anyways. She walked over and patted him on the head. She then began to walk out of her room, the houndour hopped off and followed after her. They came down to the kitchen and she saw a note on the fridge as well as her breakfast already made. She walked over and looked at the note...
"Sorry for not greeting you in the morning hun, headed out to the lab early. Meet you there...." She sighed and looked to Nephrite. "Why do dad's have to take their job so seriously?..." She asked and the pokemon just tilted his head. She rolled her eyes and grabbed one of the slices of toast and tossed it to him. With a snap of it's jaws it caught it and began to chew some of it falling and hitting the floor. Nephrite of course couldn't let a crumb escape and began licking the floor for every bit. She sat down and began to eat her meal. She wondered if she would be the only one there starting their journey.... She shrugged and just figured either way it would be fun. She then looked at the time and her eyes went wide. "Oh no... we over slept." She said and began to eat fast. Once she was done she ran to her backpack which held her sketch pad and her camera. She fastened the tripod to it and then began to run out the door chugging down a glass of pineapple juice. She was out the door and running down the steps. She in such a hurry she bumped into someone nearly knocking them down....
.....She stopped and looked to him. He was wearing a combination of red and black with pink hair no doubt. How odd..."Sorry,... I was supposed to be at the lab an hour ago. Hope I didn't ruin anything..." She said. Jade looked up and sighed. "It's cool,... I managed to save what matters. Going to the lab huh?... why don't you apologize my walking with me to it then....Wow" He said as he looked up at the culprit who almost spilled his smoothie. He was holding back every nerve to start behaving like a team rocket grunt. However it all went away as he saw the person and heard her voice. "Your kinda cute,... are most girls in the Alola region like you?" He asked. Hotaru felt her cheeks go a little red to his words and then went away as he asked a question. She shrugged and looked to her skin.
"As you can tell from my skin I am not really from around here... I am native to Hoenn." Then again even most of the people there had a tanned skin. Her skin seemed real resistant to getting tans. No matter how much time she spent in the sun helping her father the only pigment it changed to was red if anything. His suggestion for her to walk with him came back to her head and she was thinking of declining but then again.... he did say she was cute and she did almost spill his smoothie.
"Okay, I'll walk with you..." She said giving in. Jade smiled and together they walked.
Together they head towards the exit to route 1... where Jade was told he could get registered. Well where the lab was anyways. Ikki town was the places name. He didn't know if the lab was afterwards so he hoped Hotaru knew more then he did.
