Jin wandered through the hallway following the crowd of people while hugging her Staryu. She had just previously heard the Emperor's speech before being invited to go outside to see the remainder of Gentry's Pokemon. She wondered about what the Emperor said and tried to make sense of his rather lacklustre speech.

There just didn't seem to be a huge amount of information, like who they were off to battle against, or why they were causing so much hardship for the people of Atlas. Surely he would have gathered more information about these foes, that is unless he wasn't able to. The recent conflict between the nations had made it fairly difficult for travel to the various lands. Aurios, being north of Leonias and Argent, meant that it was difficult for Phoenicis scouts to make the trek without being spotted or attacked. He may have sent people north to deal with the incident and just never heard back, thus it would make sense as to why this meeting was held in the first place.

The more Jin thought about it, the more questions she had and it was beginning to do her head in. All those thoughts vanished however when she made her way through the doorway to the outside courtyard. Sitting atop of large dragon creature was Gentry and he seemed to be the centre of attention to what looked like a young Aurios woman attempting to talk to him. Jin looked in awe at the beast before carefully approaching the duo only to hear the woman call out towards the dragon-rider.

Sure enough this woman had an Absol, along with an Arcanine and Braviary. The woman's Absol was rearing up on it's hind legs as if to try and reach out towards it's own kind. Jin smiled for a moment realising how nice it was for these different nations to finally come together with a common enemy at hand.

Letting Staryu drop down to the ground, Jin raised her hands to her mouth and called out towards the two trainers, "Gentry!!! We'll head west towards the coast and move up through Argent!" Giving him a large wave, she spun on the spot and headed out towards the Phoenicis town in order to gather a few supplies for the trip, Staryu beside her bouncing his way along the path.

"Pretty cool that we happen to meet up with a Dragon-rider, 'ey Staryu?" Jin spoke in glee as she approached the Castle storage locker and handed a token towards the attendant. The attendant quickly ducked into the back room and returned bearing her sword. Staryu chirped in acknowledgement to her statement as she re-tied the belt to her side. "Just a few more things and we should be ready to go."
