Cecil | Male | Ace Trainer | Location: Ship | Mentions: Neptune

Cecil leaned against the side of the boat, looking out over the water as the cool, ocean breeze ruffled his short, black hair. His Jolteon, Citrine, slept quietly at his feet, ignoring the scattered murmurs of many different trainers and their Pokemon. He had been half tempted to let the rest of his own team out, but figured that it would end chaotically, considering how many bodies were already moving about on the poor ship. Finally, the blurry figure of the Hoenn region appeared far in the distance.

Kneeling down, Cecil pet Citrine on the top of her head, "Wake up now, we're almost there. Are you excited to get back to work?" he asked. The Jolteon gave an enthusiastic response, rising to her paws. The trainer chuckled, and allowed his blue gaze to investigate the others on the boat, almost immediately locking on another Eevee evolution. "What a beautiful Leafeon. Is it yours?" he asked to the trainer standing above it. Citrine bounded over, greeting the other Pokemon with a high pitched, friendly cry.

"Yep, he's mine." He said, looking down to see his Leafeon let out a gentle cry, petting the Leafeon's head before returning to the conversation. "So you've got a Jolteon, I usually don't see those around. Nowadays I only see other eeveeloutions." He smiled, observing the white and yellow pokemon. It would've been cool to own a Jolteon, but an electric type wasn't much of his thing, it would've had no fit in the team, other than being an effective use against water.

(Short, I have a couple things to do ^^)

Bailey Shields | Beginner | Location: Slateport Docks | Mentions: {directly} Keith {indirectly} Samir

Bailey watched as Samir suddenly took off, wondering if she should follow but deciding not to. He hadn't asked her for help, and she didn't know anything about his missing Pokemon anyway, so she wasn't likely to be much help.

She turned back to the other trainer and his Klefki. "He's fine, really. I think he's just a little bit overwhelmed by how busy it is here. We're from a small town, and he's protective of me." As if to prove a point, she crouched down next to the Pokemon, stroking him until his raised fur began to flatten again, though he eyed the key ring Pokemon suspiciously. "His name's Blue, and I'm Bailey. We're from Floaroma Town. What's your name?"

Alexander Amestris | Sinnoh Champion | Loc: Outside Ship, Slateport docks | Mentioned: Aria / Keith

The Blaziken wasn't doing much to help the situation, and he couldn't tell if there was a trainer nearby. His best guess was a woman sitting in one of the nearby shops, but she had a Bronzong - he inwardly chuckled, just at the fact it was the same species as one of his own - out. Tiny was doing her best to keep posturing, now puffing up, and Alex as having enough of it.

"Sorry girl..." he mumbled, taking a hand off her collar to grab her ball, pressing it up to her neck as she retreated back inside, a shocked squawk coming out of her.

To fill the gap, he considered letting Majora out, but the street was much too noisy for the Clefable's acute hearing. She was good to send out on the ship-- it was relatively quiet at night, which was a blessing for her poor ears. That, and he let her out enough already. He'd likely let out one of his team when he was on the road to another town, probably, where there was more space for someone like Priest or Dig.

Keith Richards | Beginner Trainer | Loc: outside ship (Slateport docks) | Mentioned: Bailey / Alex

"Ohh... Makes sense! Is this his first trip to a big city? I remember my first time in something bigger than a village- was wild!" He chuckled, then perked up, "Oh, Sinnoh too? I'm from Snowpoint!" He tugged on the sides of his leather jacket, turning around to show off the emblem on the back: Snowden Snowmowers. Hilariously, the logo was of an Abamasnow on a snowboard.

He turned back around, "I'm Keith! Came in here with my friend, Alex-" He thumbed over to where he left the man, looking back slightly, only to see that the man in question had come up.

"Oh hey, speak of the devil!" Keith hooked his arm around Alex, pulling the man closer, making the other man flinch in shock.

Blitz let out a confident laugh, feeling like he won that battle of courage. He huffed, walking back over to his trainer, prodding her in the shoulder. "What?" She asked, looking back over at him, and he started chattering and ranting in his own language based off of grunts and the word 'Blaziken.' After a little bit, Kyoto sighed, translating and waiting for him to be through with his rant. "... He's hungry." The bronze bell stated. "That entire rant translates into that?" Aria asked. "Yep."

Bailey laughed with the boy, liking him already. "Yeah, it is. We don't travel all that much. He's never been to a big city, and I've never been to one without my parents or my older brother."

Her smile lit up even further when the boy said he was from Snowpoint. "No way! That's awesome! I didn't expect to run into anyone else from Sinnoh here, honestly. I've never been to Snowpoint, but my brother tells me that it's a really cool place. I'd love to see it someday."

She laughed again when Keith pulled his friend Alex over. "Hi, nice to meet you, Alex. Your friend Keith was just telling me about you. My name's Bailey."

"Yeah, we don't seem to see them around much either," Cecil replied, smiling down to Citrine. The Jolteon was bounding playfully around its fellow eeveelution, sparks lighting up throughout its barbs as it grew more active. "So, you guys are here for the Battle Tower Challenge too, right?" he asked, pulling his blue eyes back up to the other trainer in front of him. Suddenly, Citrine ceased her playful bounding, her barbs now standing on end.

With a short cry, she bounded across the deck toward a large Blaziken. "Citrine! Where are you going?" Cecil called, chasing after his Pokemon. He skidded to a halt when he saw what had grabbed the Jolteon's attention. She was giving a series of short cries, electricity buzzing wildly about her back as she looked up at the tall, fire-type starter. "What's gotten into you, girl?" he murmured, kneeling down to stroke her head. He glanced up at the Blaziken's trainer, "My appologies. She has never done this before."

Neptune watched as the second ship arrived to the dock, looking down towards his Leafeon. "We're here, now let's get off this wreck." He said, his Leafeon letting out a high-pitched shrill of excitement. As he walked off the ship, he gazed around, observing the beautiful region. "A volcano, thats new..." Staring at the peak of the mountain. "Seems to be active.. He muttered, shaking off the thought of the volcano erupting. Before he could walk, his Leafeon bit the bag that held his pokeballs, turning quickly to face his pokemon. "Oh, you want to see your friends.. I think they may be.. to heavy for the dock, sorry bud." He smiled, the leafeon emitting a grunt.

Aria | Female | Historian | Location: Coffee Shop just outside of dock | Mentions: Cecil

Blitz huffed, standing tall and igniting his fists and feet, getting ready to attack the Jolteon, but was met with a harsh glare from Aria. "Don't. You. Dare." She snarled at her hostile Pokemon, who sighed and extinguished the flames. "Sorry about Blitz here, he's the type who fights first and asks questions later." Aria sighed, "Oh, and don't worry about it, I'm used to stuff like that." She said with a small laugh, gaze turning from the Trainer to her Bronzing, who was staring intently at Cecil, almost like studying the new person.

Jake| Female| Veteran| Mentions: Everyone (indirectly)

Jake was glaring down at a smug looking Kili when she finally managed to exit off the ship, Draco and Levi trailing behind with amused expressions. Apperentally the Ninetails had been fed up being couped in the cramped cabin, deciding to entertain himself by hiding all of her possessions just before the ship docked. "You do realize you accomplished nothing right? Except being one of the last to leave," she grumbled as she stepped onto the dock. Despite recent events, the past couple of days had been relatively peaceful, spending most of the time in her room so that she could have her entire team out of their pokeballs and not disturb anyone.

Shifting her attention from the playful pokemon in order to scan the area, she noticed other trainers talking in groups, their pokemon also wandering free of their pokeballs. Though the atmosphere was pretty friendly overall, there were a few certain pokemon that seemed to be itching for a battle. Better not release Thorin and Kuro then, as the two would take up a challenge in a heartbeat. Placing a hand on Draco's back she led them over to a quieter spot, settling themselves down so that Jake was leaning into Draco's side with Levi in her lap, the calm Umbreon keeping a careful watch on the strangers around them. Kili had decided to daringly lean over the dock and paw at the waves, causing Jake and Draco to keep an attentive eye on the carefree fire pokemon.

As the Blaziken relaxed, Citrine did too, her barbs laying down to their normal position. Cecil knelt down a bit, lowering his arm to allow his small Jolteon to climb onto his shoulder. She was still a bit heavy, but the ace trainer was not a small person either. Distractedly scratching her chin, he gazed at the Bronzong beside him, his eyes widening in amazement. "What a Pokemon! Where did you ever meet this guy?" Cecil asked, examining the specimen's exterior. He had traveled a few different regions, but had run into very few Bronzong on his journeys. They had a unique appearance that had always fascinated him, especially with the characteristic levitate ability.

"She was a Bronzor in Sinnoh's Mt. Coronet." She responded simply. "I have two Pokemon from that region, but I don't have the other one with me very often." Aria followed up her response with a shrug, "The rest are from Hoenn, with one from Unova, and then I have a Lapras from a chain of islands between Hoenn and Johto." This response triggered a huff from Blitz, not liking the special treatment Sky had gotten in terms of an introduction. "Shush, I know, you're hungry, I get it."

Keith laughed, "Oh it's cool all right! But jokes aside, it's a nice place after it snows, and sometimes we even get diamond snow in the winter. Definitely worth it! Though, I used to work for mountain patrol, you won't believe how many people get stuck in the drifts when there's a blizzard going on..."

He gave a sigh, loosening his grip on Alex enough for the other man to pull away. Tinks, meanwhile, hovered around Alex's shoulders, trying to see where he put one of his pokeballs. Keith's attention was briefly interrupted by a ninetails, staring at the creature with a bit of open-mouthed awe for a few seconds.

Alex gave a nod as the other trainer introduced herself. "Hah, he probably said by now I was the Sinnoh champion, eh?" he gave a small chuckle, managing to pull away from the man's grip.

"Nice to meet you, though. I'm here on behalf of the League to represent Sinnoh in the Tower challenge, so I'm half... excited to see what that entails. More interested in the fossil beds, honestly."
