April smiled as she exited the pokemon center, a bag filled with newly bought supplies. She had Hope at her side, who refused to get inside a pokeball for any reason. It wasn't that April really minded, but it was a bit of a hassle in some instances. Hope was like that overbearing mother that never wanted to leave your side for any length of time. Shaking her head, she reached over to place her hand on Hope's smooth back.

[b]"What do you say girl, should we head out?"[/b] she asked, a smile on her face. Hope simply lowered her head, a sign that she agreed. April nodded her own head in agreement and the two were off, headed in any direction they pleased. 

And all seemed to be going well until Hope's stomach let out this weird sort of grumbling. With a rather loud chuckled, April fished through her bag for the food supplies they'd just bought only to find that she hadn't quite stocked up the way she'd planned. And they were too far away to go back and get more plus... she sort of didn't have enough money. With a sheepish grin, April turned to her Dragonair. [b]"H-How does Magikarp sound for lunch?"[/b] The long serpentine pokemon rolled her eyes but seemed okay with solution. 

The two found their way to a small river and April pulled out her fishing rod. the two waited for what seemed like forever when finally, something began pulling on the string. With a wide grin, April began pulling on the rod. The fish was a bit strong and soon April was being pulled into the water. Hope, who at the time was lazing about by a tree, had come in a flash to pull on April's waist with her tail. Which... she pulled just a bit to hard. The string of April's rod broke and shot back, hitting April in the face. 

That, however, was not the last of April's pains. Soon, she found herself flying through the trees. Hope had accidentally pulled too hard and when the string broke, she sent April flying. With an audible gasp, Hope began to race her way toward the direction of April's, decent, hoping she'd get there in time.

Meanwhile, April let out a loud shrieking noise as she flew. It wasn't too terribly long before she found herself falling through tree branches, which managed to break her fall just a bit. As she fell, she reached out for something to grab onto. After a few failed attempts, she managed to grab a hold of something, only to fall within the next few seconds. 

She let out a loud yelp as she landed on something soft. Looking down she noticed a young man below her. He had white hair and rather pale skin. Upon looking around, she noticed a few pokemon around him, most of them looking at her with angry eyes. The Flaaffy especially looked rather peeved at her. 

All the while, Hope raced to get to her owner.
