Fantasia stood in the corner, striking a rather gaudy pose inside of the Pokelabs, she watched trainers walk in one-by-one; each one giving her mixed emotions of glances. As more and more trainers proceeded to enter the Lab, Fantasia became more anxious and held Budew -whom was peeking happily out of her purse, closer to her.

“-I'm Professor Cedar, but you probably know that already. My assistant, Layla here, has some items that will help you along your way." Fantasia began to zone in, listening intently to the words the professor was speaking.

After the long speech Professor Cedar had spewed out, the young trainers began to stampede poor Layla in an attempt to get the items she possessed quickly.

Through the fog of the stampede Fantasia believed to have seen an old acquaintance, Blair Aschenford.

She composed herself, lifted her dress ever so slightly for easier movement and made her way towards Blair.

“Blair Aschenford?” She came in for a hug, “Oh darling, it has been ages!”

“It’s simply refreshing to see a familiar face though this frumpish and simply unkempt crowd!” She looked out into the crowd of casually dressed trainers and shuttered.

“Anyways, How have you been? How is the company?”

Read Fantasia's background. Family responsible for making Pokeballs for marts.

Blair's family is responsible for making general healing items for marts.

I think Blair and Fantasia may have met before when the families did meetings. Maybe.

@Sho Minazuki

I smell a collab post if your up to it, we can work on there tie-ins with each other and their backstory though exposition while having them interact in the lab!

Additionally, It would be great to have you go the more formal route just like Fantasia!

You can use that casual attire as his travel wear. :)

P.S I am astonished that most everyone mentioned my limo in their post! I'm in the limelight ayyyyeeeee! ;)

Pokemon: Nexus [Accepting Two More!]

Should I wait for more IC posts?

@AbysmalDemon

I didn't, if you want to post go ahead :)

Pokemon: Nexus [Accepting Two More!]

@AbysmalDemon Are you going to make a CS for the Professor so we know what he looks like, what Pokemon he has an a brief history of him?

Pokemon: Nexus [Accepting Two More!]

@Lord Santa Posted it anyways, not much happened; it just explained the process of her getting out of the limo and making her way in, a little more exposition and some insight into her thoughts.

PokeLab - 12:30 PM
_____________________
It has been 15 minutes since the limousine had arrived at the Pokémon Laboratory, Fantasia was eager to walk in and meet the Professor, however something seemed to be keeping her from getting out of her transportation.

She wasn’t sure if her dress was caught on something, or if it was just her own intuition giving her second thoughts of anxiety; one thing was for sure – she felt paralyzed under the pressure of the life she was about to pursue.

“Miss Heirloom?” the driver spoke, “Everything alright?”

Fantasia looked down at her smiling Budew whom was smiling and making cooing noises, she couldn’t help but smile back and pull her close in a sweet hug.

“Yes, I am fine...” Fantasia looked out the window, “First impressions can be tough, and I think I just need a moment to take it all in...”

“You know, Miss Heirloom-“ the driver looked back towards her, “-you don’t have to go, I could drive you home right now if you would like, it’s only a few hours.”

“Thank you, you are very kind; but I have made up my mind.” Fantasia smirked, her eyes unmoving from the scenery outside the tinted window, “If I went back, my father would only use me to search for her; and that’s not how I want to live my life.”

“Who is her?”

“It doesn’t matter, it is over; and I am not going back.”

“Very well, you’re welcome to sit as long as you would like; just don’t be late.”

Fantasia stared out the window with Budew, watching the world move all around them. Fantasia closed her eyes for a brief moment, then abruptly opened them to see a light-haired boy wearing underwhelming bland clothing with his Eevee walking up the steps and into the Lab.

Fantasia sighed and took a moment to just breathe, humming a soft melody as she rolled down the privacy window between herself and the driver.

“I am ready to go.”

With that, the driver hopped out of the front seat and made his way to the back of the limousine; opening the door where Fantasia was located.
She picked up Budew whom was bouncing gleefully on her lap, securing Budew in her small purse making sure Budew could see and was comfortable. Once completed, Fantasia then reached for the driver’s hand; exiting in one fluid motion making a glamorous exit from the vehicle.

One heel click after another, she made her way up the steps as her driver opened up the double glass doors and into the building.

Truth be told, I kind of prefer to be able to post when needed to, but that's up to the gm

@Lord Santa

I just don't wanna move the plot forward without everyone being there, regardless I am drafting my next post :p

Pokemon: Nexus [Accepting Two More!]

Yes. I also posted.

Empress was not named Empress for no reason.

By the way, when can one reasonably say their Pokemon will evolve through friendship?

@Sho Minazuki

Budew levels up through high friendship, there is no set level so I guess if you have a pokemon like that you need to get it group approved before you can evolve it?

"You're just bored." Steven countered, walking at a steady pace. "I know you get hungry when you're bored. You can't have any Oran berries yet."

@Lord Santa

My life in a nutshell!

P.S I love how everyone mentions the Limo! I'm so classy! Haha! :D

How long do you guys think is a big enough gap to start posting again? It wouldn't be fair to hop in to the lab when people haven't even made there first post yet! XD

Pokemon: Nexus [Accepting Two More!]

Posted my first post! What y'all think? :D

Grand Estoria Hotel - 11:00 AM

___________________

Fantasia woke up to the screeching sound of the hotel alarm clock in the penthouse suite of the Grand Estoria Hotel. With a yawn and one swift motion with her feet to the floor, Fantasia grabbed set her night mask onto the nightstand and removed her sleeping Budew from the glass of potting soil that was used to help her grow.

“Wake up sweetie, it’s time to meet the professor!”

Fantasia gently walked her Budew over to the bathroom sink and began to rinse the remaining soil from her Pokémon’s body, once done she dried the Budew and placed her on the windowsill to absorb a bit of sun before they leave.

Fantasia walked over to the phone and asked the bellhop politely to bring up her most elegant dress, which arrived almost instantaneously to her room.

She briskly put on her lavish dress, fastening her bows and earrings into her ears; pulling her hair back into a ponytail and allowing her curling iron to warm before starting her makeup, humming a sweet melody with each brush stroke.

Once she had completed her hair and makeup, she grabbed her flash headpiece and fastened it into her perfectly curled hair; adding two fresh white roses to each side and spritzing quite a large amount of 1000 Wishes perfume by the famous Coco Picasso.

Ring Ring, Ring Ring – The telephone screeched

Budew was startled by the sudden loud noise and tipsied over onto the soft bed, Fantasia picked her up and held her within her palm as she answered the phone.

___________________

“Hello?”

“Hey Doodlebug!”

“Hi daddy.”

“I just wanted to wish you 'good luck' on your adventure, is Budew doing okay?”

“Yeah, she is fine father... is that all you called for?” Fantasia rolled her eyes and gave her father a rather annoyed tone.

“Well… Yes buggy... I spent a fortune on her.." He sighed, "No, that's not all.. I just wanted to let you know that you don’t have to go; you can come back to the estate and we can work this out. Forgive me, I am sorry.”

“Firstly, don’t call me buggy; I despise bugs-“ Fantasia shuttered, “ –secondly, you scared away the only friend I had growing up when you weren’t there; you expect me to just forgive that? A quick phone call is not the way to bring resolve.”

“I know bu-Pumpkiboo, I am sorry; I don’t expect you to understand what I do, but that Pokemon could’ve made me millions! –We are working on a device that turns Pokemon shiny, Imagine your father being the only man with a shiny-“

“-I don’t want to hear it...” Fantasia reached for the hang up button.

“Okay.. Well, just know I love you and your always welcome to come back home.” He chuckled, “-Pumpkiboo, the real world is for serious people.. please just come home and forget about all this. Please.”

“Sorry, but I am serious, and if you didn't know that by now your not the man I thought you we're growing up... Goodbye daddy; I'll update you soon.” Fantasia hung up wiping a tear from her eyes.

Budew sputtered out a cute sigh, wiggling around in Fantasia hand.

“Don’t worry Budew, it will all be fine.” Fantasia kissed the little blooming bud that Budew was forming. "-we don't need him anyways."

Fantasia proceeded to put on her sparkly red high heels and make her way towards the door with Budew.

And with that, Fantasia and Budew made their way into the limousine and thus officially began their journey through Estoria. Fantasia couldn't help but feel a bit nervous about living life as a Pokemon Coordinator, but the excitement of starting a new life brought a smile to her and her Budew’s face as they drove to the Pokemon Lab a few blocks away.
