Why did she even bother coming here? Every time it was the same thing. She'd try to make a friend, they'd scoff at her, insult her, and make her run off in tears. Or... that's how it usually went. Today the Town Center seemed... empty today. There were a few scattered locals here ant there, but nothing like its usual hustle and bustle. Well... on the bright side, those bullies weren't around today. She sighed in both relief and disappointment. She looked around a little, happening to look towards an odd group of Pokemon heading into the local inn and cafe.

There was a local Umbreon, Selena couldn't quite remember its name. Then there was that Aron, Gren. An adopted child to a Mawile if she could remember correctly. The rest were unknowns to her. A... Totodile she thought they were called. And... maybe Lampent... she hadn't seen one before, but had heard about them. Then there was one she had no clue about... it looked like a grass type... She decided to follow from afar. There weren't too many Pokemon around, so she let her guard down a bit as she peeked through the door.

Then the flash behind her caught her completely off guard. She dove into the bushes, terrified for a moment. The Totodile headed towards the Town Center, and she, for some odd reason to her, felt compelled to follow. When she caught up to the aquatic Pokemon, there was a small group of Pokemon forming around... [color=a2d39c]"Mr. Robel! Oh no..."[/color] Robel was a Heliolisk associated with the Folio Guild. They were some of the only Pokemon in town who didn't make fun of her or judge her, so she considered them her friends. [color=a2d39c]"Something must have happened down in the Trunk... I could find help, maybe, I know! My mom could help! She knows Aromatherapy..."[/color]

She'd never felt like this before... she wasn't exactly scared, but she wasn't being courageous. Something just kind of... took over. A sense of knowing that she should do something was telling her to do something. Her knees were shaking, but she couldn't help it. She couldn't describe the feeling she had right now if she tried.

Devon left rather abruptly, clearly concerned about the Escape Orb flash just moments before. She was just about to follow when that unmistakable growl from her stomach announced itself. She hailed down the Servine who had been their waiter before. [color=39b54a]"I'm ready to order. I'd like the Oran Berry Salad with some Pure Water please."[/color]

She looked back around the building. For a small town that had little traffic, it seemed a waste to have such a large building for Travelers. Sure she's been to places like Treasure Town and Pokemon Square, but those were often wide open to the public. Her thoughts now returned to the Escape Orb flash. [color=39b54a]"I'm still really worried about that, Escape Orbs are usually only used in drastic situations..."[/color]
