[center][color=green][h2] Reiji Hoshino [/h2][/color][/center]

Reiji was still buzzing from the news he had gotten merely two days before today's event. The letter from Professor Kalmia had excited his whole family and even a few of the people in Lakewatch City. His father had even mentioned that the Gym Leader Lesley had mentioned looking forward to their battle, even Sawk, Throh, and Lucario were excited enough to help him get in some last minute Martial Arts training with his father. That morning had been the start of something bigger that Reiji could have expected and now that he was finially reaching the outskirts of Pureplain City Reiji couldn't contain his excitement and let out a shout of pure joy which got a few shouts from the locals who were just waking up. [color=green][i]Man I'm so excited to meet my Pokemon I can hardly stand to keep walking like thi-...Why am I walking?[/i][/color] he thought as he hefted his bag onto his shoulder making sure it wasn't going to fall away or move too much and after tightening his headband took off at a full sprint toward the towering skyscrapers of the city. His mother had told him where to look and in what felt like an hour Reiji reached the building and quickly noted a fiery looking red head and another girl not too far off. After taking a moment to catch his breath Reiji approached the red haired girl smiling kindly as his mother had drilled into his head.

[color=green]"You must be here to see the Professor too, either way its nice to meet you. I'm Reiji Hoshino by the way."[/color] he said offering his hand to the girl in a handshake-like manner. Internally he hoped the girl wouldn't think of him as arrogant and annoying but he still wanted to introduce himself anyway as the girl gave off the vibe of a fellow martial artist.
