On the bus with the others, Marie wondered if she should say something to the obnoxious boy and his Elekid in the back. Peering over her should at them she decided that being rowdy wasn't too bad. They weren't physically disturbing anyone but themselves. As Marie flicked her head back to a front looking position her haired followed in a limp way. Compared to the environment of Kalos, Orre was a whole different matter. Instead of nothing but mountains and grass she got nothing but mountains and sand. That's how it was on Phenac's side of the region at least. The other side had lush green forests. Green forests such as the ones she traveled now. It was a whole different story from what she was use to seeing anymore and brought the smallest bit of nostalgia back as she remembered Kalos' grass and green trees. Her Ralts, safely snuggled in her arms, began to move as the bus seemed to come to a halt.

Looking down at Ralts now Marie mentions to her, "Wake up, we're here finally." Ralts had seemed rather unsettled on the bus earlier and felt easier only after falling asleep in Marie's arms like it had done many times prior. It replied with a light, "Rrr?" Sleepy still, Ralts measured out it's surroundings and assumed everything was fine due to the happiness if felt from the people around her. "Let's go now. We've got a Pokemon Lab to explore." Standing at that, Marie watches as the kid with the Furfrou and an angry looking kid walk off. 

Stepping off the bus last the first real sight was the red-haired man in a white coat. 'Michael was the name of the kid who beat the Cipher organization right?' Marie thought to herself. She couldn't help press her clothes down as if getting rid of any wrinkles in them and then examine this "Professor Michael". Up and down her eyes studied. In truth she had never seen a picture of what the Hero Michael looked like so there was no real way for her to know the truth. Something caught her attention in the middle of her studies however. The angry kid from earlier. Her inquiring face disappeared and was replaced by a tiny frown. Her tone deepened as she agitatedly said, "Regardless of how bad your ride was there is need to be snide." Ralts begins to fidget in her arms as it feels the emotion in Marie. "Besides, this man here is the one who saved this region ten years ago. He deserves our respect, even if that was a joke." Something similar had happened her homeland of Kalos a while back as well. She also realized that she may have went overboard and that she was in front of one of her idols. Her throat cleared quickly and she patted her skirt down again. "M-my apologies. My name is Marie Laurent and this is Ralts. C'est un plaisir de vous rencontrer." She pauses a moment, realizing what she had said. "It's a pleasure to meet you."
