Anabelle De Tonnancourt ~ Poliwag ♀ - Lvl 10 Sandshrew ♂ - Lvl 10 Lumiose City, Surrounding Forest -------------------------------------------------- Anabelle was sure not ready to be welcomed by a seemingly shameless man who grabbed her rear. However, unlike Kaede, she remained calm and simply took a step aside, blushing slightly while giving a confused look at Adam. Ana was not one to freak out at small things, she much preferred to keep a cool head rather than mess up a fortunate encounter and possible future friends. Since her goal was to travel the world for now, she might as well try to do it with company. Talking company, actually. She was friends with her pokemons, but one could not say a conversation with a pokemon is exactly thrilling. On the other hand, what she saw of this group so far seemed to be the complete opposite. Jetty, who had been scared so far, was reassured by the compliment Nessie told about her. She got out from behind Ana and walked up to the girl, affectionately rubbing herself against her leg to show gratitude. ''Poliiiii ~ Wag!'' Ana looked back to Adam first and answered to his pseudo-macho-compliment. ''Thank you...I think?'' she shook her head confusedly and simply looked at the rest of the group. She was going to say something, but then the short tempered girl threw down a pokeball and a small, green pokemon got out of it. Ana immediately recognized what specie it was, but she only seen it in her pokedex and on computers, never in real. Her eyes immediately brighten up with some kind of excitement as she quickly advanced and crouched beside the Axew. ''Whooa, an Axew! Dragon-type...right? He's so cute!...Hrm, I mean interesting. I never seen one before!'' She said, excitingly while she turned around the pokemon as if it was some kind of artwork. Somewhere deep within herself, very deep, she knew that the pokemon could react badly to such an examination and probably harm her but...when she got fascinated by something there was not going back for Anabelle. After she was done with the Axew, she quickly stood back up and looked at its trainer. ''Oh...Sorry about that! So sorry...I get kind of excited when I meet new Pokemons, you see.'' She apologized, confused. ''Hrm hrm...Anyway. Yes, there is a city close by. Lumiose city is the capital city of Kalos and my original home. I can bring you there if you want, it's down this way.'' The girl said while taking a few steps forward down the road. She looked at the boy that arrived right before her who just brought up the subject of Gym trainer. ''Oui, oui. There is indeed a Gym in Lumiose, it's the Electric-type gym champion. He's in the center of the city, actually. If you guys want I can bring you there. If you agree and we hurry, we can reach it before nightfall.'' Ana said, turning back toward the direction of the road but immediately stopped and looked back at Adam with suspecting eyes. ''Hum...you. Mind if you...walk in front?'' ------------------------- Hideyoshi, Michi&Aoi ~ Inkay ♀ - Lvl 10 Beldrum ♂ - Lvl 10 & Misdreavus ♀ - Lvl 10 Nidoran ♀ - Lvl 10 Lumiose City ------------------------------------- Michi took his time to look at this [i]Black Arcanine[/i] fellow from head to toe. obviously judging him. He also looked up at the Noibat who just came back to the man. So Beldrum was right, as always. Michi knew he could trust his companion. Michi looked anything but impressed as the guy introduced his pokemon, and for only answer he brought his own Beldrum back into its pokeball, thanking it briefly. ''I'm Hideyoshi Michi, and this is my sister Hideyoshi Aoi. We come form the Jotho region. So what's the name for?'' Michi immediately jumped to the subject that most interested him, not wanted to lose time. Aoi on her side seemed as if he was embarrassing her. She deemed his nature of 'Going straight to the point' kind of harsh and it often made it so very hard to make friends. This time, she was the one to jump up on the edge of her toes and put her hand before her brother's mouth. ''Please excuse my brother, he sucks at socializing, Tee-hee!'' She said with a laugh to make it go unnoticed. ''So...Yeah!'' She jumped in front of Michi to separate both men. ''Cool pokemons! Eevee's so cute...will you make him evolve? Oh, I know! Look, I have cool pokemons too.'' On that, Aoi took out both her pokeballs and threw them into the air. Her Nidoran landed beside her and awaited orders. The Misdreavus, Aoi's second pokemon, however, began floating around the young girl in a much eerie way. It looked down at the man and his pokemons menacingly, making it clear she was protective of her trainer. Aoi seemed to ignore that fact, having got used to it. ''This is Spiky, and this is Floaty! Please excuse Floaty, she's very protective you see. So...yeah! We totally are of the Blackbody Corporation. We've been looking for their base for a few hours now...'' Michi stepped back in, exhausted from his sister's behavior. ''Look.'' he said ''I have my reasons to assume you also are of the Corporation, so maybe you know more about the meeting place whereabouts? If we don't find it soon enough, it doesn't bode well for any of us...''
