[b][Vertigo City - Luminous Park][/b]

After a short walk from the Contest Hall, the two trainers found themselves in a small park located on what most residents referred to as the Outer Rim of the city. Once out of the crowded hall and out into the open in a relatively low traffic area, Sierra visually relaxed as she took a seat at one of a few tables situated throughout the park. [color=c4df9b]"Ah, I can finally hear myself think now..."[/color] She said, stretching slightly as she looked around.

[color=c4df9b]"So, I never really asked you, where are you from?"[/color] She asked, looking over to Sonya. [color=c4df9b]"I'm from here in Viore, a city on the coast called Lilac City."[/color] She explained.

[b][Vertigo City - Pokemon Center][/b]

Luna's Pokemon quickly caught sight of their trainer as she emerged from the inards of the center with Hound in her arms, quickly rushing to their trainer's feet. [b]<If you'll excuse me...>[/b] Flake said to Silvally, who had remained silent since she had finished her words. As her team assembled at her feet, Sola was about to ask the question on everyone's mind when Luna smiled. [color=bc8dbf]"Don't worry, everyone. Hound's fine, he's just gotta take it easy for a while."[/color] She said.

Torrent rolled her eyes at the last comment. [color=00aeef]<Yeah, like that'll be possible. The guy never stops moving.>[/color] She remarked, Sola looking over to Flake. [color=ec008c]<At least he's okay, that's what matters. We can force him to take it easy... I think...>[/color] She said, not helping much to ease Flake's nerves.

[color=0076a3]"So, this is your team?"[/color] Bryce asked, Luna turning to him. [color=bc8dbf]"Yeah, they came with me all the way from Alola. I wouldn't go anywhere without them."[/color] She replied. Bryce looked down at Maya and Striker. [color=0076a3]"I know what you mean."[/color] He replied.

As Luna looked around the battlefield, she spotted Gladion on the far side. She waved over to him, but it seemed he didn't see her as he was focused on the device in his hands. [color=bc8dbf]"Well... what should I do now..."[/color] She pondered, pulling out Hound's Pokeball and returning the small Rock Type.

Maya and Striker, who had remained relatively quiet for the duration of the encounter, looked at each other. [color=f7941d]<Bryce sure is meeting a lot of nice trainers today. I haven't seen him this happy in ages.>[/color] Maya said, Striker nodding. [color=fff200]<Maybe he'll finally find what he's been searching for here after all.>[/color] Striker replied. [color=0076a3]"A look around the city might not be too bad of an idea. I'm guessing you don't have too many large cities like this in Alola."[/color] Bryce suggested, Luna looking over to him. [color=bc8dbf]"Not like... this. I'd probably get lost before I made it down the street..."[/color] She admitted.

[color=0076a3]"Well, if you want, I could show you around a little. This is my first time in Vertigo myself, but I'm used to large cities."[/color] He offered, his Pokemon looking at each other for a moment. [color=fff200]<Did he just...>[/color] [color=f7941d]<I think he did...>[/color] They conversed. [color=bc8dbf]"Really? Thank you... well guys, what do you say to a trip around the city?"[/color] She asked. [color=00aeef]<Sure, sounds like fun!>[/color] Torrent replied. [color=ec008c]<I'm fine with it. What about you, Flake?>[/color] Sola asked, Flake still in a somewhat depressed mood. She shook herself out of it when she realized she'd been asked something. [b]<Oh, yeah, sure, let's go.>[/b] She finally replied.

With her Pokemon all in agreement, the two trainers and their teams headed out into the streets of Vertigo.
