Melody sat in the shade of a tall oak tree, tapping gently at the buttons on her Nintendo DS whilst watching Emp play in the shallows of Lake Verity. Rei slumped gently against her arm as he slept, his calm telepathic waves relaxed the young trainer as she lounged, enjoying the beautiful summer day. She was slightly startled when she heard footsteps approaching from the direction of Twinleaf Town. She turned and saw Rowan, her childhood friend walking through the grass towards her.
