It was a great day out. The skies were clear, and the woods were tranquil. Martin got out of his sleeping bag. He's been traveling for a bit and was on his way to Pureplain city via Route 1. He was still packing up his camping equipment, it wasn't much just enough to get here from Goldshore. He gave a long stretch, it wasn't his plan to stop a small distance from the trail, but it's not the best idea to wander around at night. Still, his watch said it was about 6:00am. He could not wait to arrive for his own personal Pokemon.
He didn't have to worry about getting dressed as he slept in his normal clothes. It wasn't because he was lazy, it was because sleeping in the woods meant being ready to go if needed. Still he could probably used a quick washing of his face, but it wasn't the worst possible outcome. By this point he almost considered himself a rookie camper. He could have prepared better for this, as most of his savings has dwindled to 500 Pokedollars now. The last of his food and water used this morning. Being this close meant that will be fixed soon enough though.
It was still quite a trip, looking around he learned a bit of the trails. There was no shortcuts, he has been walking these trails for almost 4 days now. No sane person goes this far for a rumor. He made up his decision a week ago and he wasn't stopping now. Besides, all this walking was good for him and he traveled most of Isson now. None of that was too important though. He made it here early, which was impressive. He finished packing and carried it in his bag on one shoulder.
"Lets see what makes this place so special."He took his first steps into this town, the first thing he noticed was how clean this place was. Buildings rising from the ground and it all looked so much better than Goldshire. Well, it might be a nice place, but he didn't come just for the view. He looked around and liked what he saw. Pokemon and humans, now this was how it's supposed to be. It was already looking like those rumors might be true. If he remembered right, he was looking for the lab. Some building with a Pokeball symbol on it. He pulled out a piece of paper he's been writing on. It looked to be a hand drawn map of the routes he took. Pureplain, this was the right place.
It was a bit of time getting through the place, asking around for the lab. He was an outsider and it showed. Eventually he found his way to the lab, it was closed. Some girl in red was sitting on a bench. Her outfit was pink and screamed of money to spare. Next to her was a girl in mostly shades of blue. They had quite the contrast being next to each other. Still off on another bench was a girl clad in black, her hood obscuring her face from prying eyes. She looked more like she didn't want a conversation anyways.
There was already quite the crowd gathering, adding in a guy with a headband already trying to make some friends as well. Even the straggler in a trench coat wasn't forgotten as he was being greeted by a girl in golden braids. Looks like Martin was definitely in the right place. His journey began here, and he could feel it.
Still, it's always a good time to make new friends, especially in a new place. He approached group of people and just decided to break the ice.
"So many people have gathered for this as well? My name is Martin Price, anyone else care to introduce themselves?"
