Jade let Leo, who had been cooped up for the entire boat ride, run around in whichever direction pleased him. Happy to be out of his pokeball, the Charizard pranced around the town like a kid, sniffing at anything that smelled remotely like food. As they neared the PokeMart, Jade slid off Leo's back and landed with a gentle thud, motioning for him to stay close to the building. Nodding his response, Leo continued prancing up and down the street, earning a few concerned looks from quite a few people.

She scanned the shelves nonchalantly, picking up a few water bottles and a map of the area to keep in her emergency supplies. As she exited the store she was met with a face full of hot air, Leo huffing at her for taking too long in the building. Shaking her head she began walking around on foot, deciding to take a little time admiring the town before she took off to explore the rest of the region.

Abel had already been already been in the Sinnoh region for about a week, challenging travelers on the road and contemplating earning more gym badges before moving on to another region. With his trusty Pokémon resting in their pokeballs, Abel followed the dirt path that eventually deposited him in Sandgem Town. 

Not so far from him, the boat sounded its final horn, alerting those nearby that it was unloading its passengers. Abel watched with silent excitement as many different kinds of people disembarked, a few he immediately picked out as being trainers. It didn't matter what region you went to, trainers always had the same feel. He hoped that he'd get to battle some of the new arrivals, though he wondered if they'd all be worn out from their trips. Hope at bay but confidence high, Abel began wandering the town in search of something interesting to do.
