VecRay Stylo - Dune Town
After weaving through a labyrinth of roads, greeting passerby's for directions, and walking into the same store twice, all paths eventually converged and unveiled the piazza. Flocks of Pidove gathered everywhere; their numbers delighted children as they huddled around the Pokemon, and either fed them Poke Food, or took photographs. The children's’ inclination towards the Pokemon differed from there parents it seemed; the Pokemon were considered nuisances at times, and treated as such.
Ray found that to be unnerving. After nearly 2 hours of travel, he had managed to make it to Dune Town in one piece. Muay and his newly caught Scraggy were being tended to back at the Pokemon Center, so he opted to explore a bit. Just be spending a few minutes among the people of Dune Town, he was able to learn so much about them. The Fordis Region held so much more culture then Sinnioh did, and that excited Ray in ways he had never felt before. The Stylo name meant nothing to these people. In the Fordis Region, he wasn't rich, he was just as financially blessed as everyone else was.
Ray really took that to heart, learning about things that reading in a text would have little to show for. Ray leaned deeper into a bench he had taken as his own, enjoying the playful bouts of the children until he drifted off to sleep. His nap didn't last but 2 minutes before the soft voice of Nurse Joy awoke him from his slumber.
"Your Pokemon are all healed sir." the pink haired nurse mumbled shyly. Hanging on her neck was a box full of Poke balls, but in her hand were the two poke balls that belonged to him. Ray smiled politely and took them from her, thanking her kindly before letting out both of his partners.
"Rio!" Muay barked excitedly, glad to be free. Scraggy on the other hand glared at Ray, which Ray found to be amusing. "Oh come on little guy, you don't gotta be like that." he cooed, attempting to pet the Scraggy. That earned him a head-butt right into the finger. "Oww, guys you do." he murmured, glaring at the Scraggy, who felt that it had gotten itself a victory.
The whole moment was interrupted when an angry yell rose over the noise of the plaza.
"HEY COME ON, WERE IS MY POKEMON!?"
Ray, startled by the sudden outburst, turned to the sound, just like everyone else had. A few feet away stood Nurse Joy, and a young boy glaring at here menacingly.
"I need to challenge that gym again! I thought you nurses were good at healing Pokemon!" the trainer barked.
"You only brought it to me a few minutes ago. I was on my way to giving him to you actually." Joy mumbled, seemingly intimidated by the trainer as she handed the boy a Poke Ball.
"About damn time." he said angerily, taking the Poke Ball. This thing it weak anyway, couldn't even beat the Gym on its thing try. Three times today.!"
"You should refrain from over working your Pokemon like that." Joy mumbled, seemingly stepping upma bit. That was a bad idea.
"What did you just say?"
Ray had enough, insulting Nurse Joy, overworking his Pokemon, all things Ray could fight people for. Without as mush as a forethought, Ray found himself in between both Joy and the Trainer."That's enough, back off." he said menciangly.
"Who the hell are you? I was talking to her?" the boy countered, attempting to move past Ray. He remained firm. "Well your talking to me now." Ray began stepping forward.
"Mind your own business, or you won't like what gonna happen." the boy called, gaining confidence despite Ray's intimidating glare.
"Oh ya? What's going to happen?" Ray called, raising an eyebrow.
"I'll destroy your Pokémon, and take you money. Then you'll understand how it felt to have to wait for this woman." he spat, grinning stupidly.
Ray frowned? He wanted a Pokémon battle. Meh, Muay could use the training."Okay. You win, you take my money, I win, you apologize, and I take your money." he countered. This caused the boy to stutter for a few seconds, but he accepted. Ray called Muay to his side, he had readied its stance. Scraggy simply sat at a distance, watching the battle from atop a bench. A crowd had gathered to watch the battle, glancing at Ray and sizing up his Riolu, and gazing at the boy and waiting for him to revel his Pokémon. In a few moments, he did.
