Alexandra Telemos, as much as she hated to admit it, was hopelessly lost. She had been full of confidence when she had arrived the previous day, crossing through a crossroads called Vert Plaza, and had gone directly to the gym in the centre of the city. But it had been late, and she had decided to find a hotel and challenge the gym in the morning. But when she tried to find her way back to the Vert Plaza, she had ended up on a magenta one instead. Thinking she had made a wrong turn, she tried to cut through the streets to where she thought Vert Plaza was, but ended up on Bleu Plaza, and when she tried to head back to the gym, she ended up at a hair salon instead. It was all very frustrating and embarrassing, as Alex considered herself an expert on finding her way. Finally, she asked a stranger for directions, and was told there was a hotel at the end of Hibernal Avenue. She had purchased a map of the city, only to find it was a map of [i]Laverre[/i] City. So it was almost midnight that Alex finally found her way to a hotel. Exhausted, she purchased a small room and went to bed. 

Upon entering her room, Alex released Ender, her Charmander. She thought about releasing her Ponyta Firenze also, but decided that the room was too small for the large fire horse, and her mane might set the curtains alight. Alex undressed, climbed into bed, and fell asleep almost immediately, with Ender curled up at the foot of the bed with his tail held up to protect the bedsheets.
