[center][h1][color=ec008c]Alexandria "Alexis" Deva[/color] and [color=39b54a]Deneb Astrologian[/color][/h1][/center]

Recent had been a little...emotionally taxing on Alexis. When she had set out to gain the fame and adoration she believed she deserved, she expected the journey towards that goal to be a little different. Suddenly, she was acquaintances and rivals with a handful of other somewhat new trainers, and one of them even got kidnapped. After attempting to help here and there with events, everything that had happened sort of just hit her all at once in a single move. The weird part? This wasn't the first time she'd been overwhelmed by the events. The wannabe idol girl didn't know what she was doing after helping bring her unconscious acquaintance to a safe area. She wordlessly wandered off, and only now found herself at the edge of town, close to where wild pokemon roam. After taking a moment to collect herself, she let out a sigh.

"[color=ec008c]What a mess...[/color]"

"[color=39b54a]Hm.[/color]"

Alexis jumped when she heard the reply. Apparently she had been so out of it that she hadn't noticed that creepy quiet kid follow her. 

"[color=ec008c]W-What are, crazy? Why would you sneak up on someone like that?![/color]"

"[color=39b54a]Coincidence. We went in the same direction. I am here to prepare for the pokemon gym and the contest.[/color]"

"[color=ec008c]Wha- You're trying for a contest?[/color]"

Aside from the fact that Alexis was completely unaware that this town even held contests to begin with, she had already assumed by the way the boy looked that he would be more into the battling part of the Trainer career. He certainly didn't have the personality that would get him far in the field, though maybe he was planning to heavily rely on that maractus that was currently dancing around him? It certainly had enough personality for the both of them.

"[color=39b54a]If you are challenging me to a battle, please tell me. Staring at me will not be enough on its own.[/color]"

Alexis snapped out of that moment of analysis.

"[color=ec008c]My bad...Wait! I meant to say- I mean-[/color]"

Frustrated, Alexis alet out a growl unbefitting her look and attire. Deneb, for all his lack of emotion, was still able to pick up when someone was obviously overburdened. He didn't know Alexis that well. Indeed, he didn't know anyone from that group that well. But regardless of that, he was not going to let this scene be without commenting on it. The green-haired child pointed back at the town, and spoke once again.

"[color=39b54a]You should go back.[/color]"

"[color=ec008c]Huh?[/color]"

"[color=39b54a]All of you are tired. You and your friends.[/color]"

"[color=ec008c]T-they're not my-[/color]"

"[color=39b54a]Frustration is not productive, and therefore it is not profitable. In your current state, you will gain nothing.I suggest you go back for now.[/color]"

Having said what he wanted, Deneb continued into the wild. He said his piece, and that was all he wanted. Now he moves on to focus on training. Alexis, however, was frozen to the spot. She couldn't talk back, even though it was a kid...She really was tired. Exhausted, even. Her emotions were thrown all over the place, and now she had no choice but to calm them down...It frustrated her to know that kid was basically telling her to rely on others, but what's worse is that she may very well have no other choice but to follow that advice. So she walked back. She didn't know who she'd talk to, but she needed someone to talk to.  The topic...she didn't care. It could be anything. She just needed to talk...
