[h3][color=#BB582B]Essie Hietz[/color][/h3][hr][sup][i]Brittanium City  ||  Day 1: Morning[/i][/sup][indent] [/indent]
[color=#BB582B]“Wow. I mean, wow, I saw Champion Rylen [i]live[/i]. Like in-person, onstage,”[/color] Essie said, still a little stunned as she left the stadium. Walking along at her side was Todd, who was pretty used to her ramblings by now, and on her shoulder, Mica squawked.

[color=#BB582B]“Right, Mica? Like, wow. He’s so cool! The champion of the Chromis League… If I get to fight him… I can’t even imagine it,”[/color] she said, sighing. Todd uttered a slow word of disagreement, prompting a laugh from her. [color=#BB582B]“Yeah, Todd, you’re right.”[/color]

Looking at the trainers disbanding around her, she grinned again. [color=#BB582B]“Man, there’re so many cool people here, and all of them are trainers!”[/color] Would she be able to befriend any of them? Would they see her as nice enough, cool enough to be a friend?

“Tooor,” Todd  said again.

[color=#BB582B]“Right, right. Where we’re going, um, what were the options again? Arsenic Island’s the gym, and we have, um, one week to get there, right?”[/color] she asked. Todd nodded, Mica squawking a note that may or may not have been agreement, and Essie nodded. [color=#BB582B]“Alright then, well, we have some time? No need to head to the island right now, so let’s take a look around the city! This place is so fancy—is this what all cities are like? I mean, Violet City’s pretty big, but not [i]this[/i] big, right?”[/color]

“Tooor,” Todd repeated yet again.

[color=#BB582B]“Okay, you’re right, let’s go,”[/color] Essie said, making for the main street. [color=#BB582B]“Wasn’t there a park or something in town? Maybe that’ll be a good first stop before we hit the road. We can even get a battle or two in while we’re around a Center. What do you say, Mica? Todd?”[/color]

Mica squawked, fluffing her feathers, and Todd uttered a slow word of assent.

[color=#BB582B]“Sweet, race you there, Todd!”[/color] Essie said, grinning as she broke out into a run. In reponse, Todd puffed some smoke, withdrawing back into his shell and spinning off after her. Luckily for Essie, the main street was pretty big, though she soon stopped running when strangers started to stare.

[color=#BB582B]“Whoops,”[/color] she said, flashing anyone who’d turned to stare an apologetic smile. Cities—she couldn’t wait to get out.
