[color=8dc73f]"My name's Hiro, I'm sure we'll--"[/color] Hiro started, only to be interrupted by the woman. [color=fff79a]"Ah, Marlene and Mable, darling names. I don't know much about Johto nor Orre, but I'm sure you'll find it lovely to be here. Come, let me show you around!"[/color] She said, grabbing the girls by the wrist and pulling them through town. Showing you a simple wooden building with the roof painted orange. [color=fff79a]"Here you'll see the [s]Poké Center[/s] Infirmary. Pokémon and people alike are brought here to recover from injury and sickness. You'll recognize it by the orange color of the roof. And here's the market, which is...Well, really just a market!"[/color] She chuckled, but soon moved on to the next building. This one was different from most others, because it was made of stone, rather than wood. [color=fff79a]This is the Ramotse's house. He's in charge of maintaining order in this area, as well as guiding the village's residents when a disaster takes place. There's one more place on the list..."[/color] The woman went on gleefully. Arriving at a plain hut, the woman smiled even wider. [color=fff79a]"This is...My house. Would you care to come inside and have a drink?"[/color] Apparently this was the end of the tour. [hr] Meanwhile, Hiro watched the girls be dragged off to the village. He was about to follow after, but he was stopped by a pale man in casual attire. [color=6ecff6]"Don't worry, kid. Your friends'll be fine with her, she just isn't very fond of men. Come with me for a second."[/color] Rather than grab Hiro's wrist and rush off, the man turned and calmly walked into the village. [color=6ecff6]"You gonna come, or what?"[/color] In complete silence, the man walked into the Ramotse's house. Hiro looked around, but the girls were already out of sight, dragged off somewhere by the woman. [color=6ecff6]"This is the mayor's place."[/color] He mumbled, barely loud enough for Hiro to hear. Turning away from Hiro, he yelled [color=6ecff6]"Oi, old man! You around!?"[/color] When no response came, Hiro turned around, uncomfortable about intruding. He reached for the door, but he was halted when the young man asked him what drink he wanted. [color=8dc73f]"Uh, tea please."[/color] Hiro responded. This man's careless attitude somewhat surprised Hiro, so he took a seat and waited for the man to return. When the man returned, he immediately started asking Hiro questions. [color=6ecff6]"What's your name, squirt?"[/color] [color=8dc73f]"It's, uhh...Hiro."[/color] [color=6ecff6]"Alright, Hiro. What brings you here?"[/color] [color=8dc73f]"That's a long story., I--"[/color] [color=6ecff6]"Don't bother, not in the mood for long stories."[/color] Hiro sighed, this man seemed to be a lot less friendly than the woman before. A few moments passed in silence before the man asked another questions. [color=6ecff6]"You been a trainer long?"[/color] [color=8dc73f]"N-no."[/color] [color=6ecff6]"Gather up your friends and meet me outside town."[/color] With this command he downed his drink, got up and left the building. Hiro quickly did the same, finishing his tea and then went looking for the others.
