[color=8882be]"Welcome to the team, Aria."[/color] Back to the actual moment, Basil jumped a bit from the Ralts teleporting and sighed. Well, it looked like it did not want to answer his questions, or so he thought. There was a familiar dot of green up ahead behind a tree motioning with its stubby little arms to follow it so Basil did what any sensible trainer would do; he followed the Ralts down the path of oddly placed gates that quite literally lit the way. It was a deep trek, far longer than he actually anticipated, but he only grew ever more curious where the Ralts was leading him. There were a few moments where he lost it, but the little Pokemon would always make itself known if he was just clueless though through all that they arrived at whatever the Ralts was leading the young trainer. [color=8882be]"A shrine this deep in the woods?"[/color] He scratched his chin as he looked up at the red arch. Wait a minute, a shrine deep in Northern Silent Forest? Didn't he hear about something like that when he was inquiring about any local rumors and legends back in High Hill? That the endless rain centered on a shrine? So there was some truth to it after all. Perhaps even more puzzling were the many little green capped attendees maintaining the temple. Some fled and some stood there with curious gazes as they tried to get a read on Basil. He just waved at them with slight smile just to show that he wasn't a threat. His eyes trailed about until they fell upon an unexpected sight; a young girl was just sitting on the stairs up the shrine among the little attendants. Basil would have greeted her, but the Ralts that he was following teleported by her side and pointed at him. Turns out this girl was the gym leader of High Hill and the Shrine Maiden of the Silent Shrine! Well, she certainly was ready to throw down if he was, but Basil was just unprepared physically and mentally, He shook his head vigorously and kept making a hand waving motion as if he was dismissing the idea. [color=8882be]"Uh, no, no not yet! I didn't even know you were away from the gym. That Ralts lead me here..."[/color] He trailed off as he glanced around the shrine. If it were not for the Ralts, this place would just be completely abandoned though they had to be here for a specific reason. There had to be some importance to this place. It was then Basil realized that he was perhaps not being the most courteous of guests of this shrine [color=8882be]"My apologies, I'm being rude! My name is Basil and I, well, just started my journey as a trainer today."[/color] He said in a bit of panic, his words almost running into each other and his face lit up red. Inside, he was screaming at himself. Basil cleared his throat and tried to play it off as if it didn't happen. [color=8882be]"What is this place? It's so out of the way that I didn't expect to find another person here."[/color]
