Suddenly in the midst of a Summer Festival--

[ulternnpc]

 

There's a distinct sound of waves, and bustling of people nearby.

In the coastal city of Turnbloom the sun is bright and warm, and the scent of the sea wafts through with the cool gentle breeze that makes the glittering pinwheels spin, and the leaves on the palm tree dance.

Today the streets are extra decorated with these cute, colorful and floral shaped pinwheels. It seemed the people who were out in the streets were dressed in colorful summer attire--either casual, or the more traditional yukata. It seemed like with the booths were set out for both food and games for festival of some kind that was currently underway.

Just how did you get here, and why? A mystery, and it seemed the people in the streets didn't seem to notice anything out of the ordinary as they go about enjoying their time out on this bright sunny day.

Serperior kept its head high and continued to follow its trainer, not at all bothered by the attention, on the contrary, it was quite used to it! Serperior was very aware it made a striking impression.

"I'm new here too, although with a little help, I'm learning more about this place. From the looks of it, you're from Kalos, right? I'm from the Unova region. The name's Trip."

That striking impression, as it were, earns the attention of Delphox. As Serena's strongest Pokemon, like knows like, it seems.

"I haven't been able to learn much myself," Serena sighed. "And...yes, I'm from Kalos. Though I was in Hoenn before coming here. These are my Pokemon, Delphox, Pancham, and Sylveon!"

The three Pokemon each gave a cry in greeting. Serena smiled.

"It's nice to meet you, Trip."

[… character loves to battle, but the player sure doesn’t, fff]

[serperiority]

That was a lot of Pokemon at once, but they greeted him in turn and he acknowledged each one.
“It’s nice to meet you all.”

How readily Delphox returned its gaze deeply impressed Serperior. Trip glanced at his Pokemon partner, then looked back at Serena.
“We’d like to see what you’re capable of… but if you aren’t in top condition, there’s a Pokemon Center here too. You should find a place to stay there too.”

Although Trip still wasn’t sure eating any of the food was safe, but that wasn’t anything he could prove.

let's not and say we did lol?

Serena blinked. It wasn't everyday she was challenged to a battle. Especially given she was a performer/coordinator, and battling challenges had been phased out of the latter.

"We're in as good condition as possible," she said, reassuringly. "But ah, finding a place to stay is certainly a good idea..."

[good!!!]

[serperiority]

“Then, for now… there’s a Pokemon Center with free lodging. I saw a few hotels and inns too,” Trip said, watching Serena’s Pokemon as he spoke.

[showcasestar]

"I think the Pokemon center should be fine," Serena said with a nod. "I stay at them pretty regularly."

She blinked, then smiled sheepishly. "I just realized I never said my name during introductions. I'm Serena."

[serperiority]

“I can show you the way, if you want.”

He looked to Serena and brought out a digital camera and waved it to the side so she could see it.
“Mind if I take photographs of your Pokemon? I’d like to remember my first time meeting Pokemon from Kalos.”

Will photographs taken here even follow him home? Who knows!

[showcasestar]

"I can usually find my way, but ah, I'd appreciate the help. Harder to get lost that way, right?"

She smiled. "And of course! I'm a Performer and Coordinator, so my Pokémon are used to having their picture taken."

[serperiority]

"Thank you."

He took a couple of snapshots, zooming for a few close-ups, and stepping around for different views.

"... then, I'll show you. For what it's worth, it doesn't look too easy to get lost here," Trip noted, glancing back at the streets. "Unfamiliar, sure, but it's not huge like Lumiose, right?"
