His aunt Phoebe insisted on driving her as-pink-as-Shellos pick-up truck, so the idyllic ride from Eterna City was somewhat pleasant. Chance Seaver in his loose white hoodie and Luxury his groomed Shinx lazily lied prone on their backs. Their bodies hopped with the truck over bumps and hills. In comfortable silence they did nothing but gaze up at the summery sky. It was the shine of gold as clouds scrolled by with the looming Mt Coronet, not the sky blue that shone from his eyes. Luxury was sleepy however Chance was not. For as long as he was outside, he was alert for any Combees. The allergy wasn't a major concern but a precaution on his mind nevertheless. There were not many things that he could control or knew how to, so avoiding Combees was simple enough. Not before long, they were parking full stop in Sandgem Town. 

Amber curls and bangs rattled as Phoebe in overalls, boots, and gardening gloves sang hootfully with thrilled little claps, "Here you go! ~ ❀ Off you pop, Chancey! Visit home everyday you hear me? And never walk into tall grass without Luxury, you don't have health insurance ~ ❁ Seriously call if you need anything. Toodles, hun!"

Chance waved and Luxury growled endearingly as aunt Phoebe drove away in her sputtering pink pick-up truck.  

He and his Shinx turned from the north facing south and curiously looked around Sandgem Town. A quaint place set nearby the beach even further to the south, fragranced with the salty scent of the sea. The Pokémon Center was next to the Pokémon Research Lab, the landmark of Sandgem, where Prof. Rowan worked. Sure enough, Chance could see other Trainers he knew from school gathering with their Pokémon and headed over there to greet them.

[color=steelblue]"If you're heading there, I'll join. Also, did someone say Berries?"[/color] Luxury screamed at its playmates, "Shiiii!"
