The girl looked at Faye, back the hopeful kids, back to Faye and then just shrugged. "Eh, it's fine. You seem nice enough." Honestly, this was pretty irresponsible for her to do considering this girl was a stranger, but what would anyone expect from someone who was being forced to watch munchkins, which was the last thing she wanted to spend her day.

The kids' eyes though lit up as they were absolutely ecstatic to have a new person join their little game. They all huddled up as if they were playing a game of American Football and were whispering to each other albeit rather loudly though it was not exactly discernible.

Eventually, they broke from the huddle and all eyes were now locked on Faye and Sage as if the council of the Lollipop Guild had come to a conclusion.

One of the kids, the little girl that noticed her earlier ran up to her with a big, bright grin. "We're having a tourn...tourna...tournmant? Sis, what's the word you used?" The kid turned to the teen who just sighed and shook her head. The shit she had to deal with on a daily basis.

"Tournament. You know what, I'll just explain it. It's my fault anyway." She huffed and turn to Faye. "It's just a simple tournament. You know how it goes; fight the person who won the previous round. Whoever wins gets to-"

"Whoever wins gets to challenge Mr. Hoots!" One of the other kids chimed in.

The teen just looked very much done with all of this. "What they're trying to say is that this Pokemon with a bowtie showed up recently and they kept arguing who gets to catch it, so I just suggested this mess. What I didn't anticipate was that we didn't have enough to make it fair so you dropping by is pretty lucky." She looked at least a little thankful for Faye for making the numbers even so this whole matter could be laid to rest. "Now I don't own a Pokemon so I can't battle so make sure you don't go easy on them for me. I wouldn't."

At that, all of the kids stuck their tongues out at the teenager though she ignored them.

"Now for the trouble, I'll heal your Pokemon for each round since, uh, you look like you only have the one. That is if you do decide to join." She was really hoping Faye would join.

What does Faye do?



@samreaper

Perhaps to his surprise, no one actually pointed and laughed at him, or really mock him in general. Even the people who saw that disaster of a battle merely gave him a glance that acknowledged his existence, but just was quickly went back to their own lives since they had better things to do. While this may be a strange concept to him, no one actually gave a shit about him because the world did not revolve around him. No one was going out of their way to mock him as if the world had it out for him. Despite what he thought, Tristan was simply not that important. In the greater context of the world, he was just a nobody. This was the reality that he now lived in.

Tristan, after so many attempts to find a Pokemart, finally found one. He would walk through the sliding doors and greeted by a clerk. "Hello there! How can I help you?"

These are the items available to Tristan at the moment.

Pokéball -200P
Potion -300P
Antidote -100P
Paralyze Heal -200P
Awakening -250P
Burn Heal -250P
Ice Heal -250P
Escape Rope -550P
Repel -350P
@samreaper

This was just a slaughter and honestly, there was no satisfaction in it. Tristan was a pathetic trainer, to put it lightly. He was not just an amateur, he literally had no knowledge of Pokemon or any basic concept of strategy. It was as if he never watched a Pokemon Battle in his life. Why in the fresh hell did Adriane pick him of all people?

And he surrendered?

Freya scowled but shrugged and returned her rather satisfied Growlithe back into its ball. "Well, I can't say I blame you. It's almost commendable to put your Pokemon ahead of your own pride. Just take care not to insult your own Pokemon's efforts, even if you mean well." With that, she turned heel and began to walk away from the arena to wherever Steph was. It really looked like she wanted nothing to do with him.

At this point the crowd had dispersed with murmurs of disappointment or relief. To be frank, it was such a pathetic sight that no one really wanted to stay anyway.

To save us time, we will say that Tristan had gone to the Pokemon Center to heal King again. When the Nurse Joy arrived, she didn't just hand him back King's Pokeball. A large, heavy hardback textbook filled with many posted notes fell on his lap. It looked like it was in rather bad shape; the cover was rather beaten up and the corned were bent upwards. He would have received a stern look from the Nurse Joy. Yes, the same one that called him a little shit. "I saw that... 'battle.' If it's any consolation, it really was just bad luck." She said, her eyes now peering down at the book on his lap. "You look like you care, but if you really do, read that book. I'm sorry if it's a bit rough. It's the one I used in school. I kept it around for this exact reason."

Obtained Used Pokemon Textbook!


What does Tristan do now?










@CitrusArms

Too late, Kapoc is in a whole lot of trouble.

As for the Blipbug, it was rather curious about this strange duo. A Pokemon from the past living in the modern era with this kind, yet odd girl who appeared to be quite studious if what her intentions with the Tyrunt were to be true. How would such a duo workout in the end? Curiouser and curiouser.

The Blipbug did flinch from the lick, but at least it didn't run away this time! Progress! It looked at the Pokeball, contemplating a bit more though it seemed to have made its decision. The bug crawled over to it, hitting the button with one of its stubby arms before it was absorbed in a beam of light.

It rolled once... it rolled twice...it rolled thrice!



While this was not the most exciting of first captures and perhaps a bit strange, it was the start of her journey. There were also so many things to do the city as well!

What does Stella wish to do?





@samreaper

Okay, so there was a very big difference of blowing a gust of wind against dirt and grass and then blowing winds at flaming projectiles with their own momentum. Here's the issue, while King can make a gust of wind, he can't use Gust, which would've actually blown the flames away. Or if it had a colossal level advantage but King didn't. So King was essentially a still target and those embers met their mark with extreme prejudice. The poor bird was set ablaze by the attack and sustained massive damage.

It was a critical hit!

Along with the damage it suffered, it looked like parts of King were signed though they would occasionally glow red, damaging King over time.

King was burned!

Of course, Tristan had no idea about status effects though he would have to know that something was wrong. Or not. Who knows.

King did at least get that Featherdance in and the Growlithe was covered in feathers though considering it just used Ember, this was not much of an issue.

What does he do?



@Sanguine Rose

Smart of Faye to leave that forest for later.

As she approached the kids with Sage by her side, one of them took notice of her. "Miss, miss!" A little girl called out to her, which was then followed by a group of kids running up to her.

"Are you a trainer?"

"Is that your Eevee? It's so cute!"

"We're short a person. Can you join?"

They all kept badgering on and asking her questions until they heard a harsh voice yell, "Hey, quit it ya munchkins" The source of this came from a blonde-haired that was braided into twin-tails, freckled girl wearing denim overalls and a t-shirt. She looked to be around Faye's age as well. She was probably just babysitting these kids though judging from that scowl it seemed very unwilling.

"But we need another or else it won't work!" complained one of the other kids.
@samreaper
"Oh trust me, I already have enough justification. It's just that I can cross 'coward' off my list, for now.", said Freya, pulling her hair back and tied it into a ponytail, albeit a pretty bushy, messy one. She was not even paying attention the crowd and was completely dead focused on Tristan. He really should have felt like she was peering right through him. She was pissed, but that steely focus in her eyes showed that her rage was not really going to be a factor for this battle.

Still, she was slightly surprised to see a shiny Murkrow just right after seeing a shiny Litwick. What were the odds?

Typically, a Murkrow would have the advantage in this fight simply due to having a very high attack stat and superior speed for this point of the game, but its attack stat had been decreased due to Intimidate, but Tristan probably would not know this due to his general lack of knowledge of Pokemon. Of course, there were other factors that one would have to consider though due to Tristan's complete inexperience he would probably fail to recognize them, which is terrible against an already experienced trainer.

Right now, she just wanted to see how his reactions were. "We'll see about that. Growlithe, Ember!" The Growlithe opened its mouth wide, and a tiny barrage of fire balls flew straight towards the Murkrow. Even if King were to dodge, the Growlithe would adjust its position so it could keep attacking the potentially moving target.

How does Tristan react?
@Zarkun

The phone was indeed picked up and what he heard were a few grumbles and yawns before he heard someone tiredly say, "Uh, Adrianne speaking." It probably did not occur to Jason, but it was still relatively early in the morning and probably a day off.

In the background, Jason heard a very familiar voice that sleepily said "Who is it?"

"It's Jason. That older boy from Hoenn. Go back to sleep hon." He would hear rustling, as if Adrianne was beginning to sit up. "What's up? How can I help you?" Asked Adrianne, who definitely was not expecting a full-on report.

"Oh, nice job on that. Poachers are always an issue, but good for you for stepping up. I'm sure the authorities are looking into leads. I'm sure it won't amount to much, but if it leads to something I'll get involved." There was only so much that she could actually do. She was only one person so unless there was something solid, she needed to focus on matters too big to be ignored, such as this latest, slightly disturbing news.

Adriane made a confused, unintelligible sound before she said,"Increased activity? That's odd... I should have received a report if that were the case. It could just be the scientists from the village, but I'll contact the Starbor Village gym leader to see if she knows anything. If you're going to venture in there, be careful. It's volatile and some areas are covered with a miasma, so you won't get very far without a gas mask. Luckily, there's always someone by the entrance that sells some."

There as a slight pause after he asked the next question, but she soon responded tiredly, "Someone falling from the sky? Was the person who told you drinking?" It was hard to tell whether or not she was actually telling the truth or not and probably did not leave him with enough time to actually ask again since she went over to his next point.

"Oh, um, Night Touch is as old as the region itself, but honestly, I have not a clue what the hell causes it. If you want to find out more, you'd probably be better off going to New Valhane or King's Cross depending on what you're looking for." She said before she yawned very loudly.

"You know, you don't have to report to me about everything. I mean, I appreciate it, but unless it's something so important that I have to know you do not need to call me... But, uh, actually do call me back about the Marsh if you find anything out. That is actually concerning if it isn't just scientists... Though don't do anything to hurt yourself. If I find anything out, I'll let you know. Talk later."

And she hung up.

Well, that was that. Jason would walk down the rocky path that was Route 4 into the shadows of the colossal trees that made up the forest. The path begins to smooth out and the smell of fresh water was replaced with a fresh, woodsy sort of smell.

Starbor Woods



Before you lay a forest of impossibly large trees. Even when you craned your neck to look all the way up, you would soon realize that you cannot see the end of them. Where the sky should be was a thick canopy of leaves with beams of light piercing through that would act as the light source for the woods and that is not even acknowledging the sheer width of these trees. While varying in width, on average they looked like they could be buildings. It would take a few minutes to walk around even the thinnest of the trees. The roots were massive as well, some protruding the ground in towering arcs with large patches of moss growing on them.

You do see some trainers and others walk through, but you specifically were finding a lot of Bug-Catchers and Bug-Maniacs around and that is not without reason. There were small bug-type Pokemon crawling about the trees. On the ground were a variety of small grass-type Pokemon as well going about their own business as well. Not only that, but there were a number of people in harnesses climbing up the trees It would make anyone wonder what was up above in the trees.

There was, surprisingly, a road going through the forest and another dirt path that offered a safe path through the woods though whether or not you follow it is entirely up to you. While it may be a bit dangerous to get off the beaten path, perhaps there are things that people miss?

What could be seen right now were a couple of caterpillar-like creatures skittering around the ground and along the massive columns of trees.


Pokedex Entry #664-Scatterbug, the Scatterdust Pokemon. When under attack from bird Pokémon, it spews a poisonous black powder that causes paralysis on contact. The powder that covers its body regulates its temperature, so it can live in any region or climate.



Pokedex Entry #265-Wurple, the Worm Pokemon. Using the spikes on its rear end, Wurmple peels the bark off trees and feeds on the sap that oozes out. This Pokémon's feet are tipped with suction pads that allow it to cling to glass without slipping. Pearl. It spits a white silk thread that turns sticky when coming into contact with air. The silk is used to immobilize foes.


Scurrying around the ground were these grumpy looking mushroom Pokemon, watching those passing by curiously.


Pokedex Entry #285-Shroomish, the Mushroom Pokemon. Shroomish live in damp soil in the dark depths of forests. They are often found keeping still under fallen leaves. This Pokémon feeds on compost that is made up of fallen, rotted leaves. If Shroomish senses danger, it shakes its body and scatters spores from the top of its head. This Pokémon's spores are so toxic, they make trees and weeds wilt.


In Jason's case, he saw a very familiar Stetson hat moving about the place.

@samreaper

Now that Freya had gone outside, the Nurse Joy had gotten a handle of the situation and was able to disperse the crowd as interest seemed fade from this show of teen drama though there were a few curious spectators that followed Tristan out.

Well, at least he had the balls to face a challenge presented to him. He would find Freya in what looked like an area that was conveniently designated as an area to battle. It was a really just a section of concrete where cars can't drive over that had white outlines designating the boundaries of the space as well as a spot to indicate where the trainers were supposed to stand. This was probably there for moments like these when there were trainers raring to go for a battle or settling some dispute.

Compared to the park, this seemed to be far more direct and simpler in terms of terrain. Hopefully that will make things easier for Tristan, hopefully.

"Huh, you actually came. I figured you'd turn tail.", said Freya, glaring at him with that same intensity. This was something that people passing by caught on to. There were some people stopping to watch the potential spectacle. Some murmured, some actually recognized the lass and were either laughing at whoever the poor schmuck was going to fight her or nervousness and pity for her opponent. It seemed like she already had quite the reputation already, which is odd considering that she only became a trainer recently.

"Two Pokemon is fine. Whoever runs out of Pokemon first loses. Now, let's see if you fight as well as you run your mouth."

Prodigy Freya Kapoc would like to battle!


Freya grabbed a Pokeball that was attached to the strap of her bag and tossed it out. What came out from that flash of white light was a Pokemon that Tristan had seen earlier today.

Pokédex Entry #058 – Growlithe, the Puppy Pokémon. It has a brave and trustworthy nature. It fearlessly stands up to bigger and stronger foes. Extremely loyal, it will fearlessly bark at any opponent to protect its own Trainer from harm.


"Now send out your Pokemon." She ordered Tristan with that usual disdain.

Sadly, whatever Pokemon Tristan tosses out onto the battlefield will immediately have their attack stat decreased by Intimidate. The Growlithe bore its fangs and growled at Tristan viciously.
@Zarkun

"To be honest kid, we have no idea. Some say it's an omen, some same it's a curse. It happens when people are asleep. They see visions of something in their sleep, but the one constant is that they all see the moon in their dream. The effects actually vary; some people don't experience anything afterwards, but then there are people who see strange things after their dreams and then there are those like Bary. Whatever Bary saw in that dream of his shattered his psyche. Hey Bary, lift your right hand up and show us the back."

The crazed old man lifted up his wrinkled left hand instead. It was skinny and veins were pushing against the skin as if they were trying to break free.

"No, I said your right hand you dim git."

This time, Bary lifted up his right hand and on the back of his hand was a black crescent shape. "That's the sign of the Night Touched. Everyone that wakes up from being Night Touched all have that mark. Sorry, but that's all that I've got to tell you and to be frank, you won't get anything useful from Bary. Now, let's get you that rod."

Bo walked around from his counter and went to the stands of fishing rods where he glanced around until he found a Good Rod, which he brought back to the counter and laid it out. Judging by the way it looks, it was a pretty sturdy, yet flexible rod that looked like it could definitely fish up some tough Pokemon. Not the strongest, but definitely better than those literal wooden sticks that were the Old Rods. For simplicity's sake, Jason was able to pay for it with his Trainer Card and was now down 5000P.

If he chose to leave the store, he would have heard Bary yell out, "The gators are a lie!"

What does he do now?


@samreaper@Lunarlord34

And Steph was right on the money! "Oh, um, yes that is correct. It's fine, he's difficult around most people." Freya said quite a bit awkwardly though perhaps a bit relieved that someone knows of their relation. Well, that was until Tristan kept talking and that river of crap flowed out of his mouth with as much ease as breathing. She simply could not believe that someone could possibly be this arrogant with nothing to show for it. That grin of his physically made her ill, like actually make her stomach tighten as if she was going to wretch. She eyed Steph to see how she was handling being directly insulted by this fool and for the most part she seemed calm, too calm. That's when she noticed the girl's body language and it was like...

Wait... Steph wasn't... Shit!

With a speed and strength that betrayed her figure, Freya hooked her arms under Steph's and pulled back the girl before she would do something to be charged with assault and battery. Try as Steph might, Freya was thankfully able to keep the wriggling girl out and then did a 180 degree turn and tossed her back. Freya was panting heavily having to hold back that wild Bronco of a woman. Her neat, wavy black hair was now frazzled though she ran her fingers through her hair and pushed it back.

Freya had a completely different feel about her, something that Steph should have picked up on immediately. This was not the same, warm, kind girl that patched up her wounds. Her eyes were sharper, far colder now and wore a scowl that would have looked far too familiar to anyone that had just seen it this morning. It was as if a switch was just flipped.

"Cool it. There's no need dirtying your hands with shit." She said with a cool, yet somehow equally vicious tone. Yup, Kapoc and Freya were definitely siblings.

She turned to Tristan with that same, icy expression that expressed every variety from the rainbow of disdain towards the rich prick.

"You know what? You're awfully presumptuous, you tiny, arrogant, insignificant, single cell troglodyte. She walked over him and now her figure was far more intimidating as her shadow now loomed over him. "Do you just run your mouth and expect no consequences for the shit you say? Get a fucking grip."

There was now a decent crowd of people watching this, some worried about what was going to happen next and then some that were taping this disaster on their phones. The Nurse Joy had actually witnessed Steph trying to assault Tristan but was too afraid to step in until now.

"We cannot permit violence in the Pokemon center. I have to ask you three to-"

"Shut it." The Nurse Joy actually yelped from fear. The intensity that came from Freya was suffocating. "We are going to settle this like trainers. Get up." Ordered Freya as she stepped back.

"Grab your Pokemon and square up. I'm not letting you off that easily." She turned back and began to walk out of the Pokemon Center but turned back to look at Tristan. "Don't you dare run away." With that, she walked out of the Center and waited for him.

What do Tristan and Steph do?
@Lunarlord34@samreaper

Oh, dear god this guy was a blowhard. She maintained that smile though if it was anymore forced her facial muscles would be the hardest working muscles on her body. "Uh, actually Steph told me that you were there with her that you got your starter today." While it was to clarify what she meant, it was to also knock him down a peg. There was confidence, but this prick had no respect for the champion or anyone within the league. He was only about himself and that's it. She did not like him at all, and Tristan was giving her less and less reason to.

Freya was visibly uncomfortable with Tristan and honestly, she was not wrong to be. Tristan was essentially objectifying her the moment that he met her, but rather than risk of making this somehow more awkward than this already was, she just smiled albeit very stiffly. "Um, yes I am one of the trainers that Adriane picked. My name is Freya, and my friend is very much capable of introducing herself." Freya was not exactly appreciative that Tristan had straight up ignored her and yes, she understood that Steph's accent was as understandable as a can of alphabet soup, but he could at least make the effort to try and understand the Bogan girl.

Steph was especially pissed off for being ignored, but honestly, she was handling it a lot better than anticipated. However, was it necessary to keep insulting the professor?

"Can we please not call the professor a 'quack?'" Was it just them or was she starting to sound annoyed? She maintained that smile, but there was a certain forcefulness in the way she said it.
@Zarkun

Bo arched his brow at Jason's request. Not exactly what people come here for, but it was not exactly an issue. "Rumors? I take it that you ain't from around here then.", said Bo. "Well, for starters these big slash marks have been appearing all over the trees in the forest. I don't know what it is, but it's got all them bug-catchers and bug-maniacs all worked up for some reason. You'd be better off asking them. I've also vaguely heard that there has been some increased activity in the Corrupted Marsh, but considering how dangerous that shithole is, I can't confirm it myself or even find out what's happening. Not like I'd go willingly." For someone like Jason who has never heard of the Corrupted Marsh, he probably got the idea that it was not exactly the most-safe place within the region so far.

"If you're interested in myth, however, then I've got a bit more for you. You've seen those trees, right?" He asked, referring the towering colossus that were the trees that made up Starbor Forest. To relate it to real world trees, they made Sequoias look like toothpicks by comparison. " You've probably never heard of this since you're not from here, but apparently Starbor Forest is home to what some folks call a 'Forest Deity.'" "Long ago in ancient times, there was a calamitous fire that razed forests and villages into simply ash. In the aftermath, when everything was already lost both people and Pokemon prayed for a miracle, anything to save 'em. Their prayers were answered by what we call The Forest Deity, who raised the forest that we see today from the ground and taught man how to live alongside with its creation, hence the village."

"There is apparently a shrine dedicated to the Deity, but the truth is that no one has ever seen it. Personally, until proven other it is just a myth. Now how about I help you find a-"

"You want a rumor?!" Jason heard this very loud, high-pitched voice from behind him. It sounded almost exactly like a creaky floorboard. To whom this strange voice belonged to, well, if Jason looked behind him, he would see this bone thin, hunched over man with one normal sized eye and then one bulging eye. He only had small tuffs of hair on the sides of his head and a long, mangey grey beard that curled upwards. He was dressed in oversized blue overalls with a stained white-T underneath and black boots. This man was balancing himself with a cane.

Bo sighed with great exasperation and palmed his face, sliding it down which pulled the skin down a bit."Oh for the love of... No one wants to hear your crackpot stories, Bary!"

Poor Bo was simply ignored by this lunatic.

"I saw it, I saw it I did! The sky cracked and a person fell out of it! That Adriane girl was on the scene! I'm tellin' ya the truth! I'm not crazy!"

Yes, he was.

"Don't listen to him kid. He hasn't been in his right mind ever since he's been Night Touched forty-years-ago."




@Sanguine Rose
Deciding to head to Route 1, Faye would head north of the city. She would see the city life of people and Pokemon going about their day, loud and ever bustling, but the closer she was to the city limits the activity lessened. The buildings also started to become smaller, and the air became cleaner over time. It was not long until reached the end of the city and stepped on a dirt path.

Faye had now arrived on...
Route 1



(Ignore the mountains. This was the only picture that came close to my mental image.)

Those heading to Route 1 would be welcomed by the site of rolling green hills with wildflowers beginning their spring bloom strewn about, painting the route with vibrant, untamed color that ran along the entire route. The road itself was like any road; there was a paved path for cars, but for those walking around they would only have a dirt path to walk on though it was well maintained. It was a popular route for beginning trainers due to the lack of challenge that the terrain offered and the close proximity to Florasong Town compared to Route 4's challenges and length.

Aside from hills of greenery and flowers, there were a sizable number of farms on this route each with their own specialty. Some grew wheat, some grew berries, some grew vegetables, and so on. A large portion of the region's food is grown here on this route. Of course, this was common knowledge to anyone living in Evig would know that the only thing not produced here is meat, which is actually produced in places such as Nexus due to the region having advanced cultured meat to the point that it is now the mainstream.

There were also ranches in the area where it can be safely assumed that had Pokemon on them and plenty of Breeders who offered their expertise. One could get Moomoo Milk in some of them. There was even a Day Care Center where a nice elderly couple who were very much experienced Pokemon Breeders.

The route was decently well-trafficked with trainers and others coming down from Florasong or from Grand Glory. There were many trainers in the tall grass searching for Pokemon or on the edge of a forest that strangely wasn't marked on the map. What could be in it?

There were kids playing in the grass, well, actually it looked like they were holding a little tournament of some sort.

Along the grass there were very familiar puppy Pokemon going about their day, mainly just lying in the now midday sun or playing amongst themselves. There were also these creatures with zigzagging markings all over their body scavenging for food.



Pokédex Entry #835 – Yamper, the Puppy Pokémon. This Pokémon is very popular as a herding dog in the Galar region. As it runs, it generates electricity from the base of its tail. It only assists people with their work because it wants treats. As it runs, it crackles with electricity.




Pokédex Entry #263 – Zigzagoon, the Tiny Raccoon Pokémon. It marks its territory by rubbing its bristly fur on trees. This variety of Zigzagoon is friendlier and calmer than the kind native to Galar. If you've lost something, this Pokémon can likely find it.


However, slithering in the grass were these purple, poisonous snakes with yellow rattles at the end of their tails hunting the near endless supply of Zigzagoons.



Pokédex Entry #023 – Ekans, the Snake Pokémon. By dislocating its jaw, it can swallow prey larger than itself. After a meal, it curls up and rests. The eggs of bird Pokémon are its favorite food. It swallows eggs whole, so sometimes an egg gets stuck, and Ekans faints.

@Lunarlord34@samreaper

Well, at least its looked like she broke the code on how to understand this girl.

Quack...? Oh, she meant Kapoc. Freya smiled awkwardly and said a bit stiffly, "Oh, he's not that bad, really. He's just uh... very honest." That was a nice way of putting it. This sounded like this was not the first time she had to make excuses for him, but her expression lightened up when she saw the adorable though strangely unhappy Dusk. Seemed like they were having a bit of trouble getting along, but she was sure those two would patch it up somehow.

"Oh wow, he's a shiny Litwick. What a handsome little boy, yes you are." Freya cooed to the Litwick, giving the cutie a chin scratch and a pat on the head. Surely, he couldn't be too upset with that.

Freya then realized that she was being rude; she should be congratulating Steph for such a major accomplishment! Out of all the applicants, she was picked so that could not go unsaid. "Oh, um, congratulations on getting accepted too! I was picked too though I've been getting things in order and prepare. Well, maybe overprepare as my brother keeps telling me. He's probably right." She said with a slightly embarrassed laugh. Most trainers would have left the moment they received their starter, but she was a bit overly cautious.

For some reason, she felt like Steph had a different feeling about her just now. It was like she had her focus on something, like a predator focusing in on its prey. "He's a new trainer too? What are the odds that he would appear in the same Pokemon Center?"

Too low, but life finds a way.

Of course, Freya would follow Steph to go meet this new trainer and possibly befriend him.

Meanwhile, a little time back with Tristan.

Tristan did, in fact, not do a very good job with keeping his annoyance from slipping into his tone. The Nurse Joy kept on smiling as she received his Pokemon"Of course, we'll bring your Pokemon to you as soon as you're done. Have a nice day...Little prick." The Nurse Joy said and thankfully, Tristan did not catch what she said under her breath.

While Tristan was sitting there, deciding to actually study what should be common knowledge for most people as to become a better trainer. It was actually admirable that he decided to learn about Pokemon, but that was cut short when a force of nature decided it was time to introduce herself to him. He would be assaulted verbally by strange tongues that would drive a normal person to madness and the cause for this was by this red-headed young woman that he should have recognized at Kapoc's lab if he was paying attention to literally anything.

There was also this black-haired, red-eyed beauty standing in front of him who stood at the insane height of 6'5. "Um, hello there. It's nice to meet you. Steph said that you're a new trainer too. Were you one of the ones that Adriane picked too?"



@CitrusArms
Menace, the instant Stella mentioned that it was Kapoc that gave her the Tyrunt she felt absolute menace radiating from Astrid beneath her calm, now eerily smiling expression. Even the Blipbug was shivering in the bush. "I see..." Of course it was Kapoc. Why wouldn't it be him? He was the only person in the world that would be reckless enough to give a burgeoning, inexperienced trainer one of the most vicious, ill-tempered Pokemon to have walked the face of the Earth. Of all the stupid, asinine... what in the world went through his head to give Stella that?!

"I think I am going to have a little chat with him later." She said, still with that smile.

Meanwhile, Kapoc felt a cold shiver run up his spine. Death was approaching.

Back to Stella!

"Well, now that you understand I will leave you to it then. If you have any questions, drop by the school. It is always open to trainers new and old." With that, Astrid made her leave to attend to... other business.

Now that the wrath of Astrid was now far enough away, the Blipbug crawled out of the bush and approached Stella, well, approached her, but maintained a bit of distance. The bug-type was curious about her now that its fear has been abated for now. She seemed like a nice enough girl who was eager to learn from her mistakes and that Tyrunt wasn't all that bad. It was still scary as hell, but it did not have any ill-will. It was like a puppy...a very scaly puppy. With a trainer like that, how would things turn out? How curious.

"Blip!" It chirped out. It seemed like it wanted to go with Stella though perhaps not with a battle. Just one attack would tear through the Blipbug's ever meager defense and Kaede has attack stats for days. Seriously, just tapping it with a finger would probably knock it out cold.

What does Stella do?
