Welcome to Gaia! ::

"No, I haven't," I said with a sigh. "I haven't had time to thumb through my Academy Pokedex for name ideas yet. Left for Olivine City on Team business as soon as I got back from Wellspring Cave, which is where I caught Drillbur." Wait. She remembered what pokemon I have?

As Ter was processing that thought, Samurai was trying not to let the 'child' comment get to him. He really liked this girl, even though she was clearly much old than him, and it wouldn't do to let her see him be crushed by such an off-hand comment. (My human calls me Samurai. I-)

Samurai turned to the Chandelure and stared at him for a bit. (Water-types can't consume souls, and I would never do so. Stealing the soul of a living being is a dishonorable act.)

Eight couldn't resist a fit of the ghastly giggles. (Oh? It's dishonorable...? how cute. I pray the day never comes where I get to pluck your little soul from your mortal coil....Actually, I do.) The Chandelure was clearly putting on a show. Hawk kept a tight leash on his soul consumptions, and an unauthorized feeding would make things bad for him. So he'd drift off, giggling evilly.

Hawk looked to Dan. "Well... why not Electra? I'm sure she could use the workout." He offered, watching him leave. "So uhm.. ohright! I remember now." He began making a Lunch for two. Complete with a side of chips and soda and everything. Hawk enlisted the help of Eight in carrying some of it. Besides, he preferred his bread toasted anyway.

"So that's how you come up with their names. Well, I'm sure they'll get good names. I bet Bagon will be a brillant battler like the rest," Robyn carefully pated the dragon Pokemon on the head, not wanting to disturb or frighten him. She remember the battles she had seen Terashii's other Pokemon in. Samurai and Sunny had been against Odd's Pokemon. Drillbur's battle had been on the Royal Unova.

Chinami offered a cheeky grin at Samurai agreeing so easily. (Are you agreeing with me because you think I'm right or because I'm a girl?) she asked with just the slightest hint of sarcasm in her voice. She already knew the answer.

A girl with long, reddish brown hair stood in what she could only describe as a lobby of some sort. It reminded her of a hotel she stayed in once but much, much bigger and with a huge amount of people. Not just people, but Pokemon as well. Her bright blue eyes took in the many shapes and sizes of what was laid out before her in awe. She wasn't the only one. Her two Pokemon, the Tepig she had rescued from those thugs and the Purrloin she had received as a gift or something like that, were just as in awe as she was. "I wonder if I'm suppose to meet someone here or something. Don't you get like a tour or something for completing the mission and being added to the Team?" Her voice asked though she received no answer, which was typical. Her Pokemon wouldn't know, either. Looking down at the card she held in her hand, past her Tepig that was in her arms, she sighed slightly. There it was. Freya Clark, Team Snagem Rookie.
"Well, we won't get anywhere by standing here and gawking." She stated, shifting her backpack that was slung over one shoulder and the large sports bag that her Purrloin was sitting upon on the other and setting off, disappearing into the crowd.

It seemed like hours since she had arrived and she hadn't accomplished anything. Except for getting lost. Sighing heavily, Freya took a load of her feet, plunking her butt onto a plush bench that was pushed against a wall with a potted plant a few feet away next to it. This place was so huge, it was a little difficult to navigate. Her feet were hurting a little and she was pretty hungry. Not surprisingly, so were her Pokemon.
"Don't worry, guys, we'll find something to eat soon." Freya only allowed herself to rest for a few more minutes before she picked everything back up and got to her feet once again. "Alright, let's go find something to eat."
That was easier said than done. Though she did, eventually, find a kitchen. Though there were so many people, it made Freya second guess whether or not she should be around with some sort of escort or something. She was sure she must be breaking some rule she didn't know about, wandering around like she was. But it wasn't her fault that she usually couldn't tell left from right. Well, maybe not to that extreme but the brunette usually ended up lost multiple times a day, mostly when she didn't know where she was in the first place.

"Tepig?" A voice from within the embrace of her arms spoke up, catching the Rookie's attention. She followed the point from the Pokemon just in time to see her Purrloin, apparently fed up with her trainer's lack of confidence or something, rounding the corner and heading towards the large amount of people that were there.
"Ah! Purrloin! No! Get back here!" She shouted, rounding the corner after her only female Pokemon into the large group of people. Her goal was to quickly snatch up her Pokemon and disappear again so no one noticed her. However, neither luck nor stealth was on Freya's side today and her untied shoe lace that had gone unnoticed finally got it's revenge. Letting out a shriek of surprise, the brunette instantly lifted the Tepig that was in her arms into the air, immobilizing her hands and causing her to land flat on her face in the middle of the room.
"Ow ow ow ow ..." She muttered, picking herself up off the floor before realizing just where she was. Her bright blue eyes went comically wide as she looked up, seeing many sets of eyes on her. Understandable. After all, she had just appeared out of no where and had a complete klutz attack in the middle of a very occupied room. Okay, the ground could open up and swallow her anytime now. Naturally, to make things worse, a small trickle of blood came from her currently red nose.

Freya blinked a few times, eyes widening a tad more as they focused their light blue orbs on the blonde guy that was suddenly helping her up and holding out a tissue for her to use. A hot blush rose her cheeks and she took the offered tissue, holding it to her nose. "Eh? O-oh! Ah, y-yes! I'm alright. This kind of thing happens all the time." She tried to laugh it off but it only made her embarrassment even worse. Scratch that; she wasn't embarrassed anymore, more like mortified. Why did she have to be such a weirdo klutz?! She was never going to get a boyfriend at this rate. Heck, never mind a boyfriend, she was never going to move past the Rookie status like this!
"Thanks ... for the tissue .." Freya spoke softly, her face still red as her bright blue eyes alternated between looking down at the floor to looking up at this unknown blond guy who was really, really ... cool so far. Cool and hot ... and ... talking to her ... if it wasn't for the slight pain resonating within her nose, the brunette would most likely mistake this for some sort of dream/nightmare combo.

Sekushi patted Cyn on his head and walked to the lobby. " Let's get to it, Cyn" Sekushi said to Cyn as he walked outsid to look for Dan.

Freya fiddled with the hem of her shirt with the hand that wasn't holding the tissue to her nose.

"Lots and lots of walking." She replied, attempting to be funny and shift the focus from her epic klutz attack. The girl refused to lower herself further and ask just where she was. So, once again, shifting tactics were enabled.

"Um .. I'm Freya. It's nice to meet you." Her mother always did tell her to be polite. As soon as the sandwich was offered, it was gone. Freya's Purrloin sat happily munching on it. The brunette girl blinked a few times. "Purrloin! That's not nice! You shouldn't do things like that." The Pokemon looked at her before moving and rubbing her head against her trainer's legs. Freya sighed, the wind taken out of her sails, and took her eyes to the new guy and offered a smile.
"Ah, yes, I'm new." Very new, she added silently.
