Jess didn't wait for the Duskull to translate anything else for Bailey. "A bird Pokemon! Small, brown, don't know its name but off she went," she exclaimed hurriedly. It seemed that she had decided that Santalune City couldn't wait; after making sure that Belial was on her heels, Jess took off in the direction of the town in an ungainly sprint. "Catch up!"

She was out of breath when she arrived, but she was forced to hold it again in awe as she beheld the magnificent brazen statue at the settlement's center. Upon rushing toward it, she discovered the water within was as clear as crystal, and she splashed it on her face with both hands to help refresh herself. After doing so, and letting the invigorating droplets slide down and drip from her chin, she became aware of a chuckle from behind her. "First time in Santalune?" She heard, and she turned around to face the owner's voice.

The first thing she saw was a Pokemon that stunned her simply with its looks. It was a big one, with four legs and long arms with huge, nasty-looking claws. Its body was segmented into deep purple and lavender sections, but that made it look no less fearsome. Despite its appearance, the ferocious creature seemed at peace, looking right at her but making no move to attack. Jess wondered if the Pokemon was so powerful that it could talk to people.

Immediately after, Jess noticed its trainer, and cursed herself for her stupid thought. The young man that had spoken to her was sitting at the Ogre Scorp Pokemon's side, one leg straight across the ground and the other's knee raised. He wore a white hoodie with purple highlights and black track pants striped with blue. His face, though lined in stubble and sporting large sideburns, was a friendly one. "No," Jess answered him cheerily, trying to calm down Belial, who had gone crazy when he saw the bigger Poison-type,"But I didn't notice the fountain or you last time. What Pokemon is that?" The trainer, happy to display his knowledge, began to inform her all about it. Though initially interested in what she learned was a Drapion, Jess quickly grew bored.
