Mai Hood would be crouched down to pick up a potion when her Chimchar, Blaze, would dash over to her. "Chimchar! " he cried, jumping onto her back. "Woah Blaze, whats the matter?" She asked, standing up. "Chimchar, chim!" Mai would smile as he seemed to just be excited about finally getting out of her stuffy house in Aquacord. Earlier that day the two decided to go out after a few long days of rain, forcing them to stay in. The exciting part was...Mai and Blaze were going to start an adventure together! How long she had waited to start a trainers adventure since she found Blaze nearly a year ago. The two of them would finally get the chance to explore the region together, and who knows...maybe they would eventually get to other regions as well. Carrying Blaze on her back, she walked back out of the forest towards the town again. She needed to buy some supplies before she left. Blaze was a tough guy, but Mai was not oblivious to the fact he was still a low level pokemon. On top of that, he had an injury to his left leg so he was not as fast as he normally would be. Despite this, she loved her pokemon all the same. Whoever was stupid enough to get rid of this guy was...well, just that. Stupid.

"Blaze. Race you to the PokeMart." she challenged him, knowing he would be up for it. 

"Chimchar!" he said happily, jumping off of her as they reached the bridge.

"Okay. Ready...? GO!" Mai would shout as she started running. She would go slow enough to jet him win by just a little. But it was fun to see im work so hard. As she chased after her pokemon, a bright smile rose to her face and she felt so happy that this day finally came.
