[color=ed1c24]"Darn it!"[/color] Marlene grumbled, having thought she had it in the bag! That little thing managed to zap Mudbray's strength away, what awful luck that he got pinned against a grass type. Oh well, it's not like they could have predicted it! After returning her partner, she looked down at the Pokeball momentarily, smiling as she clipped it back onto her belt. 

Her opponent-- What was his name again? Hero, or something-- Seemed to have enjoyed the match. She grinned at his words, but their moment was cut short as Marlene was confronted by a couple of the crew members, being told to come with them. They seemed pretty ticked of, too: She hadn't really accounted for what she could've done to the ship, having thought rocking the boat was fun! That other guy thought so too, right? 

[color=ed1c24]"Fine, fine! Let's go."[/color] Marlene gave in, simply following them to meet up with the captain. Once there, her scolding was about what was to be expected; Oh! You could've sunk the ship. Oh! That was dangerous. Oh! If there were any damages she'd have to pay for it once they docked. Great. [color=ed1c24]"Alright, whatever. The thing's still floatin', that means it's fine, right?"[/color]

As far as anyone could tell, the boat was fine. Which was good, as Marlene wasn't rolling in cash. 

Being returned to the other trainers, she felt kind of sour about losing her first Pokemon Battle. Though, it couldn't be helped; That guy just got the better of her! Surely she'd get him next time, especially if she caught something to deal with that grassy Pokemon! She pondered to herself what she could possibly catch... She did have five Pokeballs, after all. Just some that were laying around the house, but she'd snagged them so she could possibly build a little team of cool Pokemon. Who knew what kind of Pokemon she'd find ahead? It was exciting, to say the least.

---

Having been practically kicked off the boat by the crew due to her recklessness, she ended up left on the island with a few of the other trainers that had been on the boat; One being that Hero guy, who beat her. The other girl, she had no idea about; Mostly because Marlene had gotten hauled off right after her battle. Feet meeting the sand, she was reminded of the desert back home that took up the majority of her region; It felt natural, and she traversed it with a slight amount of sadness; She'd not be seeing those deserts anytime soon...

[color=ed1c24]"Sounds like a plan t' stick together then!"[/color] Marlene responded to Hero in agreement, figuring she could do with going to the village anyways. Pick up a few things for the road, among other things, possibly. As much as she wanted to catch a Pokemon, she decided against it, simply trying to keep with the group instead. She could catch one later. 

Man, this beach was huge; It almost looked like home here, aside from the water. She barely ever saw the ocean before sailing; It added to a bit of the excitement of being on the boat. But now she was back on her feet, and considering how those sailors were... She was glad to be walking around again. [color=ed1c24]"Ah agree. Plenty of time t' look for some critters later, ah'd like t' take a look around yonder."[/color] She spoke in agreement, as she stopped not too far ahead of the two trainers.

It'd taken a bit longer than she liked, but finally they were out of the sand, and onto solid ground. Felt more like the farm, now. And that was annoying; She needed to quit thinking about home, but, she just couldn't. Everything that could remind her of home did; Despite her having no regrets or thoughts about turning around. Not that she could, it was too late to leave. At least for awhile...

Blinking as she heard a voice, she turned, eying the approaching woman. [color=ed1c24]"Howdy!"[/color] She greeted happily, smiling at the woman. [color=ed1c24]"We sure as heck are! Ah'm from Orre mahself, name's Marlene!"[/color] She came to the realization that she hadn't introduced herself to the others yet, and used this as an opportunity. [color=ed1c24]"Good t' meet all ya'll! Was kinda' rude to not introduce mahself sooner, ah apologize."[/color]
