The morning had started off pretty rocky for Arden, what with being woken by the cold dampness that followed the use of a low powered Watergun. Tiredly moving the curly brown bangs from his face, he spotted the impish look in the eyes of the small Azurill standing just outside of his bedroom door. It seemed to laugh at the sodden mint eyed boy, soaked to the skin in his pajamas.

[color=PowderBlue]“Yeah just laugh it up Azure.”[/color] The young man grumbled as he retrieved his glasses from the nightstand and began his morning rituals, begrudgingly thanking the spherical creature for the wake-up call.

Thankfully the rest of the morning seemed to be running smoothly, aside from the quick chase of his father’s Impidimp who had taken to hoarding Arden’s hair ribbons. It wasn’t long before he was sitting at the breakfast table eating the food his mother had plated up for him.

[color=LemonChiffon]“Are you really sure that you want to do this kiddo? It can take a long time to go about studying pokemon, even if it’s only a single type.”[/color] Emira asked as she nervously plaited her blonde hair.

[color=PowderBlue]“I’m sure Ma. Besides, if it really takes that long I should start as soon as possible. Professor Cypress is just helping me speed it up a bit by allowing me to receive and train one of his pokemon.”[/color] The young brunette responded before his eyes widened at the sight of the clock just behind Emira.

[color=PowderBlue]“Crap! I’m gonna be late! Thanks-for-the-food-mom-got-to-go-bye-love-you.”[/color] He exclaimed in a rush as he raced to the door, only just remembering to grab his already pre-packed bag on the way out.

Bursting through the large doors came the slightly disheveled young man, his brown curls waving wildly as he panted for breath. Fanning the loose fitting off the shoulder sweater he wore, Arden began breathlessly trying to speak.

[color=PowderBlue]“So..Sorry for…being…late!”[/color]

Trying to take in everything in the room, his eyes landed on the other potential trainers: A young woman who seemed to be trying to sooth a frightened Dratini and a Young man wearing a…cape. Not to mention the prideful little Bagon that roared its name at the caped individual’s question of defeating the overseers. Finally landing on the simply adorable Gible that seemed to be trying to eat the leg of a Table not too far from Professor Cypress himself.

[color=PowderBlue]“Aww you little chomper, you must be a hungry little guy. Don’t worry I’ve got some snacks if you want?”[/color] He said as he crouched down and offered a handful of cute, colorful cubes. He quickly added to the rest of the group. [color=PowderBlue]“Oh! Hi, I’m Arden. Nice to meet you.”[/color]
