Valerian beamed the moment the Pokéball clicked shut. He rushed over, picked it up delicately, and held it up as if he’d just won the Grand Festival. [color=pink]“Victory! You see that, Aurelia Rose? Precision. Grace. Timing. And not once did we compromise our standards.”[/color]

Aurelia Rose buzzed approvingly, though she seemed more interested in circling the Pokéball like a curious sibling meeting the new baby.

Valerian turned his full attention to the girl now that the battle was done. [color=pink]“You witnessed that, yes?”[/color] he said with a smile. [color=pink]“A dazzling display of Fairy-type style and grace. Our opponent didn’t stand a chance!”[/color] He paused, then added with a little humility, [color=pink]“Though I suppose the Petilil held her own. She’s earned the honor of joining our team.”[/color]

[color=pink]“I don’t believe we were properly introduced earlier,”[/color] he said, stepping toward her with all the calm elegance of someone who had not had a minor meltdown over receiving a Bug-type. [color=pink]“You were at the lab, yes? With the Phantump?”[/color] He nodded toward her companion, giving the Ghost-type a polite smile. [color=pink]“Charming, in a spooky, woodland sort of way. I am Prince Valerian Hardrada. Of the Hardrada royal line.”[/color]

He didn’t quite wait for her to respond before continuing. [color=pink]“As much as I’d love to chat longer here, I’m afraid I’ve just completed a rather taxing battle. Emotionally, more than physically. And my team could use a touch of professional care. Would you care to walk with me to the Pokémon Center?”[/color] He tilted his head slightly, offering his most princely smile. [color=pink]“You seem like the thoughtful type. I wouldn’t mind the company.”[/color]

With Aurelia Rose fluttering just behind him, still gripping the freshly caught Petilil’s Pokéball, and racking his brain about what to nickname his new Pokémon, Valerian began heading down the path toward the Center.
