"Your Pokémon have been restored to full health. Hope to see you again!"

Juana pressed the button on her Poké Ball, and Bounsweet popped out, rustling its leaves and smiling at her.

"Thanks, Nurse," Juana said, striding out the Pokémon Center. Bounsweet shot a silly look at the grumpy Corphish as Juana passed by it. Corphish fumed and scuttled off towards the river.

"Why don't we take a little walk around town? It'll do us a bit of good, I bet," Juana remarked. Bounsweet concurred with a happy cry.

Bounsweet jumped down and hopped alongside Juana as she made her way through the dusty streets. She greeted people politely, with varying degrees of success. Some kids really liked Bounsweet, thinking it was cute and that it smelled good.

"We really need to run along now, actually," Juana said, jabbing a thumb down the road as a couple of younger girls patted Bounsweet's stem. "As much as I'm sure Bounsweet appreciates the attention."

Bounsweet gave Juana a look that said, [i]No, no, this is fine, I quite enjoy this. We can stay a little longer.[/i]

Juana shrugged and folded her arms. "Okay, you can keep stroking Bounsweet for a bit longer. I'll just wait on the curb, 'kay?"

Juana pulled out her cell phone and took a selfie with the happy fruit Pokémon in the background. She texted her parents the photograph and said that her journey was off to a pretty good start.

As it turned out, Slurpuff had gotten a hold of her father's cell phone, which explained why the ensuing response photograph was A. incredibly blurry and B. covered in what appeared to be pink, stringy fluff and meringue.

"Glad to see everything's holding up back home," Juana remarked. She snapped her fingers towards Bounsweet, and the Pokémon bounded back towards her. "Hey, you kids have a good day, 'kay?" Juana said to the girls, before turning back towards the street and continuing her little constitutional.

As Juana walked, she spotted another passing Trainer, a tall, long-haired woman in a black tank with a Growlithe by her side. This was [color=aqua]Tora[/color]. If we're being completely honest here, Growlithe made Bounsweet a little uncomfortable, it being a Fire-type and Bounsweet being a Grass-type and all, but Juana held an opposite sentiment.

"Bounsweet, look, another Trainer! We're probably not fixing for a battle right out of the gate, but maybe it'd be nice to get to know somebody else walking the Pokémon walk, eh?" Juana remarked, putting her hands on her hips. Luckily, Juana's confidence assuaged Bounsweet's nervousness. Dogs don't eat giant pink mangosteens with faces, do they?

Juana approached Tora and waved. "Hey, that's a pretty cool Pokémon you've got there. Or, well, should I say 'hot,' since it's a Fire-type?" she said with a smirk, knowing full well how absolutely terrible that pun was. "You're a Trainer, right? So am I, though I just started out today. You live around here?"
