A big ol' puff of hair resembling a trainer meander onto the docks of Pallet Town, readjusting to the solid wooden planks. "Just gotta get my land legs back, heh." He mumbled with a uncertain chuckle, wobbling a bit. "Okay, i'm good...i'm good." He reassured himself, standing straight to face the professor that brought him to this magical, new region. "Thanks for the ride, Mr. Elm..." He noticed the guy practically already embarking back across the water. "...You're not getting off?" Charlie asked. 

"Sorry Chuck, something's come up! Gotta return to New Bark, ASAP!" Professor Elm hastily called back. "Take care, and make sure you meet with Professor Oak before you leave Pallet Town! He'll tell you how things work around here!" He added with a wave. Charlie excitedly waved back. "Okay! Thanks again for the ride! Have a safe trip back!" He exclaimed as he waved. Once the professor was out of sight, he swiveled 'round to face the town. 

"Alright...now where would Professor Oak's lab be, exactly?" The good professor didn't exactly provide the boy with directions. "Well, these sorta adventures are all about the journey embarked, rather than the destination..." He mumbled some reassuring words as he wandered off the dock and proceeded further into town. 

It was clear he wasn't alone in the area, as trainers of all shapes, sizes and ages populated the scene. And most were paired with their own Pokemon companion. "Oh! That reminds me-" He knelt down, reaching for the singular pokeball hanging from his belt. How could he almost forget about the shy little Cyndaquil Professor Elm entrusted him with? He released her out into the world, realizing he hadn't let her since he first named her back at the lab. 

"Hey Quinn~" He called the adorable fire mouse in a sing-song sort of way. "Welcome to the new world! Who knows what we might run into out here!" His bubbly disposition contrasted the Cyndaquil's clear uneasiness. She didn't look all that happy to be here. 

"[color=#DC9000]Qui...[/color]" She mumbled in reply, nuzzling herself into Charlie's lap. He would've squealed right then and there if he hadn't had caught himself. "C'mere cutie pie~" He lifted her into his arms, where she immediately curled into a ball in his creases. He stroked at her fur, taking mental note of the warmth emitting from the ignition pads on her backside. "Alright Quinn, let's find the professor's lab. This place looks small enough, i'm sure we'll run into it eventually." He stated, rising to his feet.
