[color=00aeef][h3][center]~Lisette~[/center][/h3][/color] Lisette's feet moved at a brisk pace, looking straight ahead and for the most part - drowning out everything else around her. The other trainers, the people, the pokemon...everything, really. Why? She felt like punching the next person who looked at her funny face in. To say she was incredibly irritated, was an understatement. Now, why was she irritated? Oh, there were [i]so[/i] many reasons she was constantly irritated. So she focused on simply walking. One foot in front of the other, ignoring everything else. [b]"We're [i]late[/i]."[/b] A voice broke her meditative thoughts with its usual gruff, somewhat groggy tone. [b]"Damn it, if you'd gotten ready sooner then we would have already been here."[/b] Her dear [i]sister.[/i] [b]"Ugh, look at this line."[/b] Lisette didn't respond, merely sighed, turning her head to the festivities of the small town. For a rural place, they certainly at least knew how to throw a good party - something she could appreciate. Maybe she'd stick around for a bit, eh? She took in a deep breath of air, the clean, fresh air of the city a stark contrast to Saffron. [b]"If you didn't spend an hour with those low-life's we could have already been here and done with this. Blegh, at least you've been pre-registered so you have a spot. Ugh I'm going to be eating noodles for a month after this."[/b] [color=00aeef]"Those low-life's are my [i]friends[/i], sis."[/color] Lisette scoffed with an eye roll, before her mouth turned upwards in a smirk as she dismissively shrugged. [color=00aeef]"Not that you'd know what having one of those is like."[/color] Yvette knew better than to play into her sisters obvious taunts - she learned it a number of years ago that simply ignoring it would make things go a lot easier. Still though, it made her more than a little irritated and she really couldn't help herself, just this once. She hadn't slept much last night and she hadn't had coffee in at least four hours. Ugh, today was going to be annoying. [b]"I'd rather have no friends than so-called friends who get themselves [i]arrested[/i] for something that'd be a [i]felony[/i] if you were older." [/b] [color=00aeef]"And I'd rather have friends that get arrested for a good cause than sit by as someone gets away with something worse."[/color] Lisette shot an icy glance shot to her sister from over her shoulder where she was walking. Ugh, this was irritating her just thinking about it. [b]"A good cause...How can you even [i]think?![/i]-"[/b] Yvette harrumphed, interrupting herself with a exasperated sigh. [b]"You know what? I'm not having this conversation again. Your thick skull isn't going to listen to anything I say, is it?"[/b] Her older sister sighed, reaching into her lab coat and pulling out some papers. [b]"More on topic, Lis, can you at least [i]try[/i] to behave today? No fights? No drawing gang signs on the buildings of the walls, please?"[/b] [color=00aeef]"Mhm."[/color] [b]"Also, could you at least zip your jacket up all the way? If you're going to take this trainer thing seriously you should at least dress appropriately."[/b] [color=00aeef]"Sure."[/color] [b]"Y...you're not listening to me, as usual are you-gah!"[/b] Before she could finish that sentence suddenly she found herself grabbed by the shoulders and lifted a few feet from the ground. Lisette turned, stifling a chuckle at the sight of her Crobat lifting her off the ground. [b]"D-down! Put me down Mal!"[/b] The large bat like pokemon didn't seem to listen. Instead, he gave a shrill cry of amusement as he pulled Yvette at least five feet off the ground and started flying her around the area. [b]"N-not funny you stupid bat! You know I can't handle flying!"[/b] Mal didn't seem to listen as he happily flapped his trainer around the area, zooming off towards the long line of people. Lisette chuckled quietly to herself before walking after them. Soon enough, Crobat plopped Yvette down at the back of the line, the older woman almost stumbling and falling flat on her face as she was dropped finally. [b]"Ugh, thanks Mal..."[/b] Yvette grunted as she was finally released. [color=a187be]"Cro-crobat!"[/color] The large pokemon seemed oddly pleased with himself. [b]"Blegh, next time I let you out for exercise please don't suddenly pop out of nowhere and fly me around."[/b] [color=a187be]"Bat!"[/color] [b]"...that sounded suspiciously like a no."[/b] Mal simply grinned happily. [b]"Ugh, I'm surrounded by idiots..."[/b] Yvette grumbled, shaking her head and rubbing her temples with a hand. [b]"So as I was saying Lisette-eh? No...she...she didn't!"[/b] Lisette, seemed to have taken the momentary distraction to vacate the premises. [b]"Ugh, she better be here by the time we get to the registration..."[/b] Yvette grumbled under her breath as she waited in line. Mal hovered around the person behind them like it wanted to be pet. [hr] As soon as Crobat had taken Yvette off, Lisette walked in the exact opposite direction of the registration. Jeez, she hated this - she really did. Mostly being forced to do something she didn't want too. Oh sure, she'd do it since she didn't have much of a choice. What, was she just going to tell her parents to get lost or something? She was sure one of her friends would let her stay with them, but...well, she wasn't one to at least not be somewhat independent. Lisette exhaled, a happy smirk forming on her lips as she walked away from Yvette. Ah, it felt so good not to be around her, though that joy was quickly replaced with irritation. It seemed that they had arrived just in the middle of a commotion of some sort. Some sort of laughter and scoffing? Lisette wasn't sure, she couldn't hear from as far away as she was. What she did see though, was a girl running from the direction of the registration looking a little confused, and perhaps a little frightened. Well, she didn't know what happened - but it seemed like this girl might have just gotten a bit in over her head. And then a pokeball had to go and smack her right in the face. [color=00aeef]"Wah-!"[/color] The black colored pokeball hit her square in the forehead, making Lisette stumble slightly from the sudden impact. [color=00aeef]"Ow, ow...I am most definitely not a pokemon."[/color] She grumbled, rubbing her forehead as she bent down and picked up the black pokeball. Now that was a pokeball you didn't see every day. Did it belong to the running girl? hm...Lisette pocketed it, quickly running after the other fleeing girl. With her athleticism it didn't take her long to reach her. [color=00aeef]"Hey,"[/color] She said, stopping in front of the other girl. [color=00aeef]"Lost something, did ya?"[/color] She tossed the black pokeball at the other girl rather she was ready to catch it or not.
