My characters haven't had much interaction at this point. And for now I've just got them headed towards the lab to pave the way for the rest of you to follow.

And I will say, having a Pokedex is VITAL in the Viore Region. Without one, you won't even be recognized as an official Pokemon Trainer, and thus will be unable to compete in the Viore League or the Viore Grand Festival, or collect the Gym Badges or Ribbons required for each. This way the Pokedex kind of serves a bigger purpose than being an encyclopedia for Pokemon.

And I've kind of got an idea for as the story Progresses, maybe Devon, Celes, Brent, and Lily could travel together as a foursome. They'd work well together, three fresh faces and one with some good experience, each learning from one another. [@Ninian] [@Light Lord]
