[center][color=lightcoral][h2]Ruby[/h2][/color][b]Route 9 => Brittanium City [@I-Am-X] [@TalijaKey] [@itano123] [@Sho Minazuki][/b][/center] As the misty terrain cleared, Ruby took a glimpse of the Ursaring's intimidating glare until it turned and ran away. It took a couple of minutes to make sure it was all done till the tension in the air calmed. Ruby and her partner Berry looked at each other, paused, then gleefully smiled at each other. [b]Glorious victory![/b] [color=lightcoral]"Hooray, we [i]won[/i]~! But of course, one should not expect less from Ruby and Berry!"[/color] The two literally jumped in joy at their first victory, and their first real battle at that! The idol-ish girl's eyes lit up as an idea struck her at the moment. [color=lightcoral]"Like every idol, Ruby needs a victory pose, how about this?~"[/color] Flicking her strawberry blond hair with one hand, Ruby made a quick spin in place and struck a [url=http://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/sailormoon/images/8/84/Sailor_Moon_pose_3.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20130426024951]bold pose[/url] with her award winning [i]innocent[/i] smile as the cherry on top. The Sylveon barked and wagged her tail excitedly at the posing, jumping and spinning herself. Taking that as a positive reaction, the master picked her partner up to give a well deserved petting. [color=lightcoral]"Berry shined brightly out there, Ruby is super proud to be her partner~"[/color] Berry nuzzled against her master's hand with happy barks, pleased by the attention she was receiving. The two pinky partners were ready to leave the forest and head back to Ven (who missed all the action!) when their two companions were stopped by... the two Eevees? A giggle escaped from the lips which were now beaming a twisted smile. [color=lightcoral][i]'Ehehehe...~ I still owe them some.... scolding, don't I?'[/i][/color] Berry was not able to read minds but just by the expression on her master's face, she was afraid. Very afraid for the poor younglings. Before Ruby could do anything, the both of them were captured and placed into the Pokeballs of her companions. If the two bothered to look forward where Ruby was, they would've seen that she had on a pouty expression before forwarding quickly towards the exit of the forest. [hr] It didn't take too long for the gang to reach the outskirts of the city after some gloating and retelling of what had transpired when the three of them entered the forest. Huge commercial buildings stood before them and within the jungle of buildings were cars and masses of people and Pokemom, busy making their way to work, shops, home and the like. This was the sort of environment Ruby grew up in, she knew all the hot spots and the nots, where one could find this and what each shops could offer. This was central Brittanium City, where everyone lead a hustle bustle life with all its shopping options it offered and commercial buildings where people worked. Her home and at the same time her mother's Pokemon grooming shop was found within the area but before introducing her new [s]fans[/s] friends to her mother, Ruby decided to give a quick tour. A tour, by definition it was such but it was specifically more of a 'quick tour to Ruby's choice wardrobe shops' plus tips. The shop over here was where she would find all sorts of beautiful shoes and high heels she would wear for her future Pokemon contest performances. Oh oh and the shop down the block has all the must have cosmetics for human and Pokemon performers alike. Don't get her started on the jewelry shop across that, Ruby could go on forever about the glimmering trinkets the shop has to offer and at a dirt cheap price at that! ...... Whether or not her companions caught up to the quick pacing of her clicking high heels, Ruby went on and on before Berry had to trail down the companions who were lost to the crowd. This included Ven of course, who seemed apparently culture shocked to the place [s]or was that an excuse to escape from the yandere loli? No one knows[/s]. The sun was lowering down the horizon as the sky dyed itself a crimson color. Figuring it was time to retreat to her house for the day, or at least take some rest to settle down, the city girl led her companions to her house. [b]"Please, come in and make yourself at home!"[/b] The [url=http://i.imgur.com/khW0983.jpg]young mother[/url] greeted Ruby's companions and invited them in willingly after a quick explanation from her daughter about her new friends. There was no fuss about 'No boys in the house!' but the pinkette mother led the group to two rooms, one being Ruby's and the other, a guest room. [b]"It has been awhile since Ruby last invited her friends over and I'm truly glad she already made new ones! All of you must be thirsty, let me fetch some juice and some berry juice for your Pokemon."[/b] And with that, the four were left to do whatever they pleased for the moment.
