[i][color=ec008c]"Sorry.  Like I said, Nana will take some time.  The Quagsire who fist bumped you is Spud.  And the other pokemon I have is Tamaki, the little Dratini over there.

You know, Lisa... You and I are both in the gym Circuit. I'm also going for the elite four.  Though I'm not set to be the Champion or anything. So...we could maybe help each other along the way somehow?"[/color]

Liza smiled as her knuckles were gently tapped by Spud; she responded in kind by rubbing its large, rotund head, before pulling away after her hand felt a lot more slippery than before.

Drips of mucus dribbled and bounced off of her fingers, before finally pooling up on the road.  Right...Quagsires were amphibious.  Amphibians need mucus to keep moisture...totally not gross, but the Quagsire's beady, happy little eyes had the infectious effect of making people happily give zero hecks, so she rubbed her hand clean off the side of her jeans.

God, Spud was adorable.

[color=ed1c24]"I wouldn't mind...but I just started my journey.  I don't have much to offer, as of now.  I'll be happy to trade Pokegear numbers, though, if something does come up."[/color]

She wasted no time rolling up the sleeve of her left wrist, before shaking a black bracelet twice.  From a small bump in the bracelet, a lens projected a rectangular screen across her wrist, showing a stylish homescreen with a grid of apps to choose from.  With a light tap on her skin, the Contacts app was opened, and a 'Contact Search' was activated.

It was certainly unlike anything most would ever see; the aspect of a screen was skipped entirely in favor for a more flexible surface - clothing, skin, anything, really.

[color=ed1c24]"Just write in the number here, and call it; it should record your number as well..."[/color]

While her voice certainly didn't show it, she was quite excited to use something so strange; Kanto was often derided as one of the backwater regions in terms of technology, barring the still-recovering Sylph Co.  And thank Sylph for making such wonderful technology to steal!

[color=ed1c24]"I didn't know...um...about my Grandma's job.  Things weren't always so...regulated, back in the day, I'd have to guess.  The family never talked about it, or anything about Granny, so I only really go by memory.  I was...what, 3, when I last saw her?

...I'll talk about it more, but I'd also like to get moving, too."[/color]
