[center][h2][color=ec008c]Alexandria "Alexis" Deva[/color][/h2][/center] [center][h3][color=ec008c]At the Pokemon Center[/color][/h3][/center] [@Noxx][@dabombjk] Before she knew it, the daughter of a famous coordinator, and her friend had run off to who knows where, saying that she could tag along, but leaving no time for Alexis to process everything, she quickly lost track of where they went in the midst of thinking about the pros and cons of traveling alongside such an individual. "[color=ec008c]That was...wierd[/color]", commented Alexis. Once again, the rising star found herself alone on her journey, save for her Snorunt. The beginning of their journey was starting out on a low note, so there was only one thing she had to think of. "[color=ec008c]Snorunt. Let's go recruiting.[/color]" As she walked over to the town's edge, where they would transition onto the road, Alexis thought of many things. The boy who defeated her and Snorunt, the boy that had the audacity to laugh at her, the girl with the psychic powers, and the of Madame Hollow's daughter and her traveling companion. She fought with herself to figure out if they were a sign that she was not meant to be the idol she wanted to be. If she was not meant to gain the adoration that al those others had. She had...doubts. So early on her journey, this would not be the best way to start off her adventure. Snorunt saw Alexis with a worried look. It was strange to see her with such a face. The Pokemon felt that it wasn't going to be the last time either. Still, there's being humbled, and there's being crestfallen. To become the latter so early...it wasn't a good feeling for anyone. Snorunt had to do something, so it jumped out of Alexis' arms, and started running. Alexis followed, confused about what Snorunt was trying to do. The Pokemon had led her to what seemed to be a Hoppip. It's pink body was floating around on its lonesome, seemingly humming to itself. Snorunt hopped up and down, trying to tell her to attempt catching it. Alexis hesitated on what to do, but then pulled out a pokeball. She threw it, but Snorunt knocked it right back at Alexis. "Snorunt! Sno!" Snorunt seemed to be annoyed, and was trying to tell her something. With all that was running through her mind, Alexis couldn't figure out what that something was. The Hoppip noticed the trainer and her Pokemon, and decided to attack them after they bothered it. Alexis, freezing up on what to do, said nothing, which was actually enough to distract Snorunt, allowing the Pokemon to be hit. Taking notice of this, she instinctively told Snorunt to use Powder Snow. The attack hit, but it was by pure luck that it didn't force the Hoppip to retreat. She tried to throw a pokeball again, and it managed to make contact. As the light on the ball flashed, Alexis didn't know what would happen. If the Pokemon broke free, then it would mean to her that she wasn't meant for the life she dreamed of. "[color=ec008c]We...We did it?[/color]" A silence filled the air...then Alexis smiled. Then she laughed. It wasn't her normal laugh, either. It was a sort of innocently happy laugh. Something she hadn't done since her infant days. "[color=ec008c]We did it! Yes! We caught one![/color]" Alexis looked at Snorunt and said, "[color=ec008c]I knew it! We're destined to become the brightest stars this world has ever seen! Don't worry everyone, we're here to make all of your destinies come true![/color]" Snorunt shook her head and walked over to the pokeball. After bringing it to Alexis, her trainer smiled in return, and carried the Pokemon in her arms again. Their journey had finally begun.
