Central City Outskirts[/center]
Cillian was quiet as he walked in front of Damian, contemplative. His team now featured two Pokemon that would evolve to be dual types, but what kind of team would he he building? What kind of Pokemon would he have to catch? He had no idea. [i]Maybe the idea is to just catch all the Pokemon I can,[/i] Cillian thought, frowning as he read the information on trainer ranks again on his Pokedex. [i]I need to catch ten Pokemon to rank up. And have a battle.[/i] 

Cillian paused for a second, breaking his pace and causing Damian to catch up in pace. Seeing the boy’s confused expression, Cillian smiled it off. [color=lightsteelblue]”I’m fine,”[/color] he said with a grin. He dropped it, not knowing what to say. How did battles work? Did he have to be a bully or something and incite the other person into a fit of rage to cause them to challenge him? But he didn’t want to do that--he’d made a friend, and friends were helpful.

[color=lightsteelblue]”Damian, if I told you I wanted to have a battle with you,”[/color] Cillian started, looking at the boy. [color=lightsteelblue]”I mean not right now, since you only have one Pokemon, but in the future. Preferably when we both have three...”[/color]

Central City Poke Corp Tower[/center]
Shanae half-ran, half-walked to the Central City Poke Corp tower, eyes tracing the imposing building. She remembered back when the franchise was still in their large department store duplex--she’d been in elementary at the time and still enthralled by the variety of people that came and when. She’d even met a few champions back then that had journeyed through, although she didn’t remember any specific people. As the daughter of a family buried in the company’s heart, she’d met many important people in her life, and famous trainers before they were famous ranked low on that list.

Shanae entered the building, waving a friendly hello to Wanda Clark, the bespectacled secretary who insisted on cat-eye glasses. [i]They’re cute,[/i] Shanae thought with an amused smile as Conner Kiene pressed the button to call down the elevator for her, [i[but Wanda would get so many more guys if she just ditched the damn glasses.[/i]

On the way up to the third floor—apparently the trainers that had come in had made quite a ruckus with some sort of contest up the stairs—Shanae chatted pleasantly about how the day was going with Conner. [i]Two new trainers,[/i] Shanae thought, smiling devilishly, [i]One already in, so just one to go.[/i]

Shanae was looking forward to the future. Maybe she’d even set a record for the most people recruited in a day!
