Brent Ignia and Lily Meadows
[Route 701]@Ninian @Light Lord
It seemed a minor argument had erupted between Nasir and Devon's other Pokemon, but it was quickly settled it appeared. They smiled at the mention of how nice it was traveling together. "Same here, travelling along isn't as fun as it is with some friends, and making new friends is one of the main things about a journey!" Brent nodded. "Yeah, my Brother has some friends he travels with in Johto, specifically this one Girl, her name's... Marie I think. They're amazing in Double Battles, I'll tell ya... but yeah, it's great traveling together. I was planning on finding someone to travel with, but I didn't think I'd be travelling in a group like this. Feels nice, though."
While Lily and Brent couldn't understand the conversation between Nasir and Devon's Pokemon, Chikorita and Cyndaquil could clearly hear. <I get it, so Nasir likes to take matters into his own hands a bit too much? It's just because he cares so much for you guys and Devon.> Said Chikorita. <Exactly. He doesn't want to see any of you getting hurt unnecessarily, but sometimes it is good to stand back and ask for help!> Said Cyndaquil. They kind of surprised each other by how mature they spoke, and then broke into a quick fit of giggling.
Then all of a sudden, Lily heard a voice, a voice only she could hear.
"Why... why are they after me?"
She stopped quickly, looking around her looking for the cause. "Did... did any of you hear that? Please tell me you did this time..." She said nervously. Brent stopped, carefully listening around him. "I still don't hear anything weird, what did you hear?" He asked. Lily was now very nervous. "It... it was a voice... something being chased... I'm not sure what it means..." Brent walked back, patting Lily on the shoulder. "You're probably just still nervous about this being your first day on your journey, you're hearing the wind and thinking you hear voices. It'll go away, trust me." Lily was still very unsure about it, but looked to everyone around her.
"Y... yeah, you're probably right. I am pretty nervous right now... I probably am just hearing things..." She said, but that wasn't what she thought. "I know I heard that voice, it was crystal clear. Now I'm starting to worry... what's happening to me?" She shook her head and started walking again, with Brent next to her, making sure he was now listening carefully. "I doubt Lily actually heard something like that, but it wouldn't hurt to look, right?" He thought as they continued walking.

[Somewhere Near Route 701]"I knew something was up! The place is trashed!" He said, standing over what looked to be a once very large and beautiful flower garden. It was rittled with holes, burn marks, and footprints. "There's only one reason they would do something like this... I have to stop them before it's too late!" He said, looking to his partner. "Let's go, we've got no time to lose!" He grabbed a Pokeball from his belt, tossing it out and revealing the Pokemon Noivern. "Noivern, get up in the air and try and find anyone you'd find "odd" moving through the forest!" He said, his Noivern nodding and taking off high into the air.
"And while he looks from the air, we'll look from the ground. Let's go, Feraligatr!" He said, taking off into the woods with his Water Type Partner right behind him.
