A letter had arrived in the mail some time previously. It had been awhile, however, Lily was determined to arrive to her destination on time. A delay had occurred on the street. Some pesky moron with ideas of being her knight in shining armor had created, then attempted to extract her from a situation. Falling rocks, of all the crazy things. One had been about to hit her too, however, Ruby, the oddly colored blue haired ralts that traveled with her had been out of her Pokeball and had stopped the one rock that had been about to hit her. She shivered at the memory and tossed her single Pokeball up into the air and caught it again. 

Ruby was too small to sit outside her pokeball during travel. Her body wasn't made for sitting on Lily's shoulder, and she couldn't keep up with her trainer's walking speed. That would change however, once Lily finally evolved. Kirlia would be more than capable of staying outside her pokeball all day and night if she so wished, and that would mean Lily would have someone to talk to on her travels. She smiled at the thought and let out a small sigh. 

Eventually, she arrived at the town, and started heading towards the lab. She could see a few trainers disembarking from the boat in the harbor, and the letter she had received had said there would be others. Figuring it might be a good idea to at least learn a name or two, Lily sighed and headed over. Her eyes locked onto the sneasel for a second and she smiled. Pokémon were much better companions that people for the most part. She wouldn't mind having a sneasel of her own one day. Or a vulpix. Vulpix were beautiful.... She shook her head and stepped forward, interrupting the conversation of the two.

"Hello... I'm Lily. Are you two also headed to the lab?" Her voice was quiet, but strong. She wasn't nervous, she just didn't seem to want to waste words. "I believe there is a group of us, yes?"
