[center][color=39b54a]Jade[/color] and [color=630460]Hotaru[/color][/center] [@AbysmalDemon][@Polaris North] Jade looked over at Robyn and shook his head. [color=39b54a]"Nope, this will be my first time in Alola actually. I came all the way from Johto."[/color] Jade answered. Unless the professor bumped into him in the region of Johto then he doubted he knew the professor. He glanced down at his Vulpix. He wondered where this region's Vulpix where located. He would have to check the pokedex later. Just as he was watching Rex he noticed that it was reaching the end of it's smoothie. He smirked as he watched the pokemon guzzle it down. The fire fox must have grown used to the cold drink already. He glanced at it's tails and could only imagine how Rex will look once he evolves. First of all he would need his hands on a fire stone. Perhaps,... there is a way to get one at the festival. For once he will try and obtain something through legit channels instead of just stealing it. Hotaru shook her head at the question. [color=630460]"Nope never meet the professor. I mean I might have when I was younger.... No wait. That was Birch. My father never took me with him to the lab here." [/color]she answered. Her Houndour following right behind her. Nephrite also had a much different coat then most houndours. He was just as unique as Alex's corsola. She patted his head a little before looking to the others. No one really meet the professor it would seem. That's good, at least no one really judged her for that. With her father working at the lab and all. Besides her father was a field researcher. It would seem a hour had passed and it was offly quiet. No one was really talking until Alex broke the silence and delivered a question. What where our goals as new trainers. Jade at the time still cradled his Vulpix. Minus one smoothie cup. He looked into the sky and tried to think of a answer. He really didn't have one. He came here to escape his past life. He finally figured out his answer and turned Rex around and lifted him into the air to stair into the fire fox's eyes. [color=39b54a]"Well, when I lived in Johto I was never really able to enjoy the life I had there due to my current living conditions. I guess my goal here is to,... well. To actually enjoy something for once. I was thinking of becoming a fox pokemon trainer. I find them to be pretty cool. Can't wait to snag me a Alola exclusive Vulpix."[/color] He said. He then brought the pokemon back around and looked back towards Alex and then to Hotaru. Hotaru listened to Jade's answer and wondered what he meant by the first part of his answer. It was a little weird but that was none of her concern. Not that he would empty it out to her later anyways. However, his purpose was interesting. A fox trainer. There were a lot of pokemon that resembled foxes so it would be interesting. With that all said and done it was now her turn to answer the question. [color=630460]"What I want to do while I am on this journey is to help out my father with his research and capture rare and unusual pokemon with my camera or sketch pad in their natural habitat. Pokemon that you don't see too often. Before I came here me and my father had gotten finished doing a bit of that research in Hoenn. We were observing the giant pokemon Groudon and I would like to continue that type of research here."[/color] She answered.
