“Yeah, I suppose you can pay the discounted price.”she said, chuckling a bit.

Lina followed after Dareous, who helped the kid with the aron after his pokemon headbutted him to the ground.”That was a pretty good battle there!I’m glad you beat that quagsire.”she said, cheery toned as usual.Glancing over at the aron with some curiosity, Lina smiled before casually strolling next to the young boy, crouching down slightly.”So, would you like me to buy ya’ something to celebrate your victory, kid?”she asked.Lina was occasionally generous to new trainers in Orre like this, offering to buy them a few items to help them to start their journey…Though any starting trainers here always had somewhat of a tough time with this region, being as there wasn’t many wild pokemon around like in other regions.

Dareous looked at the young boy’s aron who looked like it was still battle ready. “Looks like your Aron is still wanting to battle.” he looked over at Lina as she asked the young boy if he wanted something for his victory. “Well, if you’re going to get him something for his victory, we should probably just let him go shopping with us. I’ll pay for whatever he needs.”

Dareous kept watching the Aron. “If you go ahead and heal your Aron up, I’ll battle you after we’re done shopping if you want.” he said to the younger trainer.

Staring at the older female, Ryouta crossed his arms for a moment. Scanning her over quickly, he recognized her from somewhere. It was almost impossible for him to figure out how he knew her though. She definitely wasn’t from around town. Perhaps she had participated in one of the Colosseum battles. Catching her speak of treating him to something, his interested peaked. “That doesn’t sound so bad,” He said with a grin spread across his face.

Hearing the older man speak, he slowly looked over at Kenshi. The Aron did seem like he wanted to fight still. He took a bit of damage, but there was no real place to heal him in town. The only healing machine was at the Colosseum and in the ONBS building. “I do need to get him healed up,” He said as he scratched the back of his head. His eyes widening as the Aron looked back at him, he felt a cold stare coming from the young Iron Armor Pokemon. It really was going to be a long journey, wasn’t it?

Lina grinned.”Awesome!”she said then looked back at Dareous.”You sure?Alright then.”she said then stood back up, stretching slightly.”Man, I wish I had remembered to bring along my pokemon.I’d like a battle with someone too~!”she exclaimed, pouting for a few moments before sighing.”But I guess I’ll have to wait until I go back home.”she spoke as she walked over to Dareous and grabbed his wrist and then ran to the young kid and grabbed his wrist as well, dragging the two of them along to the store.

She then slowed to stop just outside of the entrance to the store, letting go of their wrists.Looking at each of them, she smiled and walked inside and immediately started checking the shelves for items she needed to get.

“I get to pay you the discounted price for my stuff right?” Dareous asked as he waited for Lina to head over to where the battle was taking place. Dareous smirked as Lina started watching the battle and seemed to be a little bit too excited about the battle.

Watching as the Aron dodged the water pulse and landing behind the Quagsire and then hitting it with Iron head for the knock out, Dareous smirked. “Not bad.”

After the battle had ended and the Aron had headbutted his trainer in the gut, Dareous ran over to check on the young boy. “Are you alright?” he asked then offered his hand to help the young trainer up.

Slowly looking at the older man, Ryouta quickly took his hand and got up. Glaring at Kenshi, he gritted his teeth as he pulled out the Aron’s Greatball. “I’ll be fine, just a rocky start,” He said as he smiled at the older man. It was nice to see that someone was willing to help him out. The only problem was that he didn’t exactly recognize him.

Hearing his Aron scoff, the young boy turned his head towards Kenshi. As the Aron faced away from his trainer, he still held a battle ready look in his eyes. Walking over to Kenshi, Ryouta knelled down and stared at him. “Are you okay buddy?” He asked as the Aron began to chuckle. Being slightly frightened by the Aron’s behavior, he couldn’t help himself from laughing nervously. He felt as if Kenshi was going to do something extremely reckless and he knew he wouldn’t be able to stop him.

“Yeah, I suppose you can pay the discounted price.”she said, chuckling a bit.

Lina followed after Dareous, who helped the kid with the aron after his pokemon headbutted him to the ground.”That was a pretty good battle there!I’m glad you beat that quagsire.”she said, cheery toned as usual.Glancing over at the aron with some curiosity, Lina smiled before casually strolling next to the young boy, crouching down slightly.”So, would you like me to buy ya’ something to celebrate your victory, kid?”she asked.Lina was occasionally generous to new trainers in Orre like this, offering to buy them a few items to help them to start their journey…Though any starting trainers here always had somewhat of a tough time with this region, being as there wasn’t many wild pokemon around like in other regions.

“Oooh, fine…I’ll think of a reason.”Lina said, sticking out her tongue for a moment at him.”Aw, my driving’s not really that bad is it..?What’s life without some risk?”she asked, accelerating the bike for a bit before slowing back down to the previous speed.

Hearing Dareous ask if all the shops were in Pyrite, Lina lost control of the bike for a few moments.”Ah, uhm…No, there are stores elsewhere in Orre, even in Phenac…But I almost always go to Pyrite to stock up..I, kind of get a discount..”she admitted after regaining control.Soon after, Pyrite came in to view and Lina slowed down the bike as they got closer until they stopped a few dozen feet away from the town’s entrance.”Don’t be surprised if you get bombarded by challenges to pokemon battles here..!I certainly did.Still do sometimes, actually..”she said, chuckling a bit as she got off the bike and let her goggles rest around her neck.Lina started walking in to the town, but a bit slowly for Dareous to catch up.

With the sounds of trainers battling echoed through out the square, a young boy with brown spiky hair stood a ways from them. Glancing at the Pokeball in his hands, he gulped as he spotted a trainer with a Quagsire. It was two years ago today that he had his first battle against him. Tossing the Pokeball up and down for a moment, he tossed it into the air. “Go Kenshi,” He called out as a bright white energy escaped the ball.

Reforming on the ground in front of the boy, an Aron stood firm. Scars covering the Aron’s shell, he called out. As the trainer with the Quagsire looked at the duo, he began to laugh. “Finally came out of hiding you two?” He asked as his Quagsire slowly looked at them.

Pointing at the other trainer, the boy slid his goggles over his eyes and grinned. “Today marks the true day that my journey begins! And I’ll start with our revenge,” He shouted as he raised his hand to the sky. Slowly lowering it so that he pointed at the other trainer, his crystal blue eyes locked onto his opponent. “You will remember the name Ryouta Sunabouzu from this point forward!”

(Song for the battle-CLICK!)

In a matter of seconds, the square got quiet as soon as the boy’s sur name was used. Swinging his arm forward, the other trainer pointed at the boy’s Aron. “Use Water Gun on that rock!” He commanded. Receiving a nod, the Quagsire began to fire blasts of water at the Aron, only for the Aron to dodge them immediately.

Pumping his arm, the trainer named Ryouta laughed happily. He was becoming excited by the battle. Two years earlier him and Kenshi, his Aron had battled the same guy. They had lost then, but this time was much different. “Use Rock Tomb,” He shouted as he pointed at the Quagsire. Nodding, the Aron’s eyes began to glow blue as it called out. With rock erupting from the ground and encasing the Quagsire’s body, the younger trainer grinned as his opponent’s Quagsire was unable to move.

“Well, you haven’t almost killed me yet, so the driving isn’t as bad as Lance’s.” Dareous said as they continued to ride to Pyrite. “…A discount? I hope that will apply to what I get too since I’m shopping with you.” he said before the bike stopped and Lina had dismounted waiting on Dareous to follow.

Dareous dismounted and slowly followed Lina into town. “I don’t know about anyone wanting to challenge me. Nobody besides you around here even know who I am.” he said before removing his goggles and sliding them into his left pocket then removing his sunglasses from his other pocket and putting them on.

As Dareous followed Lina, he spotted two young trainers in the middle of a battle and stopped to watch. “Hold on a minute, I want to see how this battle turns out.”

Lina smiled.”I’ll just buy your stuff for you and you could pay me back afterwards..Okay?”she told him as she walked in to the rusty looking town.

She glanced over her shoulder at Dareous.”Doesn’t matter if they know who you are or not a lot of the time.If you’re a trainer, you’ll be challenged sooner or later.”she said as she kept walking closer to the stores.

Lina was going to just pass by the battle but upon hearing Dareous wanting to watch it, she stopped and turned to watch it.It was an Aron vs a Quagsire.The kid with the aron seemed like he was determined to beat his opponent.Lina cheered a little as the steel type dodged the water gun spurts.Quagsires weren’t exactly a favorite of Lina’s as they were water, and ground types, which nullified the electric attacks of her pokemon and she had been up against quite a few of them.

Watching as the aron performed Rock Tomb on the quagsire, Lina stood there wondering what the quagsire’s trainer would do next and if the battle would be finished soon after.”GO ARON, BEAT THAT QUAGSIRE.”she shouted, having gotten drawn in to the excitement of the battle as that’s what usually happened to her.

“Aw, I have to go all the way to Hoenn to hear the whole story behind it?”Lina asked, mocking mild disappointment.After a bit, they were passing by Realgam Tower again.”So, you prefer this pace than before?”she asked, turning her head a bit to look at Dareous.”Hey, I’m sorry if my driving earlier scared you!But after having lived here for a while, I got used to traveling fast here, especially in the desert.”she said, smiling for a bit then looked back ahead.”It’s nearly a straight line from Phenac to Pyrite, so it won’t take long to get there.”she explained before turning on the stereo, which was turned up to be heard over the sound of the bike as usual, though it wasn’t the fast paced song from earlier.

(Song playing-Click)

Sparx soon noticed Reeaper after Voltt had and instantly got a bit nervous, sweating a little.The mareep just stared back at them, though he was thinking of what he’d do to get Sparx’s secret exposed.Lina wouldn’t get back until later, which means they had time to eat all of the snacks and dispose of the bag and then there was Felicity, who wouldn’t even care one bit since she was sun soaking as usual.After a determining that he couldn’t really do anything about it, the sheep pokemon walked forward and past the two to obtain his book.Sparx just breathed in relief then seized up a little as the mareep walked next to the raichu and dropped the book back down…Then stuck his head in to the bowl to eat a few of the crisps before picking back up the book and exited the house.The raichu relaxed once again and began eating again.

“Well, I know the story but you’ll have to give me a good reason to tell you it.” Dareous said then chuckled a little. “Yeah, this pace is a lot better, the last trip was actually worse than Lance’s driving and well, I almost drowned as a kid due to his driving with a boat.” he said remembering the trip to Mossdeep when he was younger.

“So, pretty much all the stores are in Pyrite? Lets hope that the people around there aren’t as bad as the people in Phenac seem to think they are.” he said as they rode towards Pyrite.

“Oooh, fine…I’ll think of a reason.”Lina said, sticking out her tongue for a moment at him.”Aw, my driving’s not really that bad is it..?What’s life without some risk?”she asked, accelerating the bike for a bit before slowing back down to the previous speed.

Hearing Dareous ask if all the shops were in Pyrite, Lina lost control of the bike for a few moments.”Ah, uhm…No, there are stores elsewhere in Orre, even in Phenac…But I almost always go to Pyrite to stock up..I, kind of get a discount..”she admitted after regaining control.Soon after, Pyrite came in to view and Lina slowed down the bike as they got closer until they stopped a few dozen feet away from the town’s entrance.”Don’t be surprised if you get bombarded by challenges to pokemon battles here..!I certainly did.Still do sometimes, actually..”she said, chuckling a bit as she got off the bike and let her goggles rest around her neck.Lina started walking in to the town, but a bit slowly for Dareous to catch up.

Lina laughed a bit.”That doesn’t sound pleasant..Well, I could get a bag of snacks for you to try and lure her away with, but tough luck if she wants to sleep.”she said, smiling.

“Yeah..They’ve been assuming it for years and years sometime after Pyrites mine exhausted..”she said, setting an elbow on a handlebar before putting her chin on her hand.She glanced at Dareous.”That’s a pretty interesting comparison you used.”she said and watched him run back to the house then as he walked in, she sat back up, removed her elbow from the bike before pressing a button that transferred stereo controls from the car to the bike.Lina had barely time to peruse through the choices before Dareous came back and tossed her a pair of goggles.”Thanks!”she said cheerily and put them on then switched the bike’s hover switch.This time it was a less enthusiastic start and Lina drove less recklessly through the sandy desert, keeping a decent speed.

Sparx blinked and grinned at Voltt.”Raichu rai!”he thanked the other for the help before grabbing a big bowl off of the end table next to the armchair and poured the bag’s contents in to the bowl.He grinned again and started to stuff his mouth with the crunchy snack.Reeaper sat outside and watched Lina and the red head depart on the hoverbike.For a bit, he stayed there and watched the sky, clouds were rare around here.Which made for a boring skyscape.The mareep soon remembered about his book and got up to retrieve it from the living room.The moment he entered, he saw the emptied bag and wondered where it had come from.Walking further in the house and tread in to the living room, the sheep pokemon saw the two raichus eating what was in the bag.Reeaper always had the suspicion that Sparx had some sort of hidden food source cause whenever the others were hungry, the raichu seemed to be fine.

“Yeah, dealing with Lance during that time sucked. So just bait her away with snacks? Worth a try I guess.” Dareous said before running inside to grab the goggles. After tossing the goggles to Lina, he sat in the passenger seat. “Well, go to Lavaridge and I’m sure someone will explain the comparison.” he said before they drove off.

Inside Voltt happily munched away at the Thunder Crisps snack before noticing Reeaper walk inside. Voltt let out a confused “Rai?” after seeing the sheep pokemon walk inside.

“Aw, I have to go all the way to Hoenn to hear the whole story behind it?”Lina asked, mocking mild disappointment.After a bit, they were passing by Realgam Tower again.”So, you prefer this pace than before?”she asked, turning her head a bit to look at Dareous.”Hey, I’m sorry if my driving earlier scared you!But after having lived here for a while, I got used to traveling fast here, especially in the desert.”she said, smiling for a bit then looked back ahead.”It’s nearly a straight line from Phenac to Pyrite, so it won’t take long to get there.”she explained before turning on the stereo, which was turned up to be heard over the sound of the bike as usual, though it wasn’t the fast paced song from earlier.

“She likes being comfy..So, she might try pushing you out of the way to sleep in your spot!”Lina said, laughing a bit while imagining the scene.She looked over at the raichus and smiled.”Glad they’re getting along well.”

“People here assume that everyone from Pyrite is a thief or criminal.While it’s true that some of them are thieves and such, not everyone is…But Pyrite is where I got started, so that’s where I feel the most at home in Orre besides just hanging around my pokemon.”she explained, smiling.

The brunette unlocked the bike from its chain and rolled it out to the same city exit as before.”And don’t worry about Reeaper, it’s not you, he just doesn’t really like all the noise.”she said, reaching the stone archway.”Oh, I forgot the goggles!Do you think you could go get them from my bag?”she asked, after mounting the bike and having already turned the engine on.

Meanwhile inside the house, Sparx waited a little bit before hopping off the chair and walked in to the kitchen, carefully counting the floor tiles before starting to lift up the tile in front of him.Underneath was a secret stash of snacks for electric pokemon.With one paw holding up the tile, the raichu reached in to the hidden space and pulled out a package of Thunder Crisps, placing them on the tile next to him before setting down the tile again then picked up the bag to walk back to the living room.

“Great….I’ll have to fight a giant cat for my bed. Eh, at least it’s not as bad as having to share a room with Lance after he’s had one of those triple bean, beef and cheese burritos.” Dareous said remembering bad memories of having to share a room with his brother for several years.

“So just because there’s a bad bunch in Pyrite, they assume everyone from there is a crook. Seems kind of stupid to think that. Then again everyone seems to assume that Steven Stone only had one person beat him before Wallace took over the champion spot in Hoenn.” Dareous said with a slight smirk due to the secret of having faced Steven Stone for that champion spot.

After hearing Lina’s request to go back inside. “Alright, you left the bag on the table right?” he said before running back in and grabbing the goggles from the bag then running back out to the bike. “Here.” he said passing a pair of the goggles to Lina before putting on the other pair and sitting in the passenger seat of the airbike.

Inside the house, Voltt watched Sparx go into the kitchen and pull a bag of Thunder Crisps from under a tile in the floor. “Rai?” Voltt asked before running over to help Sparx pull the bag back into the living room. Voltt helped Sparx open the bag after it was pulled into the living room and removed one of the crisps from the bag and trying one. “Rai!” Voltt shouted after trying the crisp and quickly grabbing more from the bag.

Lina laughed a bit.”That doesn’t sound pleasant..Well, I could get a bag of snacks for you to try and lure her away with, but tough luck if she wants to sleep.”she said, smiling.

“Yeah..They’ve been assuming it for years and years sometime after Pyrites mine exhausted..”she said, setting an elbow on a handlebar before putting her chin on her hand.She glanced at Dareous.”That’s a pretty interesting comparison you used.”she said and watched him run back to the house then as he walked in, she sat back up, removed her elbow from the bike before pressing a button that transferred stereo controls from the car to the bike.Lina had barely time to peruse through the choices before Dareous came back and tossed her a pair of goggles.”Thanks!”she said cheerily and put them on then switched the bike’s hover switch.This time it was a less enthusiastic start and Lina drove less recklessly through the sandy desert, keeping a decent speed.

Sparx blinked and grinned at Voltt.”Raichu rai!”he thanked the other for the help before grabbing a big bowl off of the end table next to the armchair and poured the bag’s contents in to the bowl.He grinned again and started to stuff his mouth with the crunchy snack.Reeaper sat outside and watched Lina and the red head depart on the hoverbike.For a bit, he stayed there and watched the sky, clouds were rare around here.Which made for a boring skyscape.The mareep soon remembered about his book and got up to retrieve it from the living room.The moment he entered, he saw the emptied bag and wondered where it had come from.Walking further in the house and tread in to the living room, the sheep pokemon saw the two raichus eating what was in the bag.Reeaper always had the suspicion that Sparx had some sort of hidden food source cause whenever the others were hungry, the raichu seemed to be fine.

“Well, yeah, from the money I earned for winning matches.”she replied, smiling.Lina looked over her shoulder at Dareous.”Yeah, I’m sure I can find you a spot to sleep in here, though you might have to deal with Felicity during the night.”

Sparx blinked, then patted the spot next to him trying to get Voltt to join him on the chair.Then he turned his attention back to the tv and started changing the channel to find something more interesting than the news.The mareep on the floor just sighed in annoyance again before getting up to sit outside where it was quieter.

“Thanks, it’s just a regular house they’ve got here.It’s a nice city, but they’re wary of people who come from Pyrite.”she stated, scribbling down items to get on to the notebook.”You can come along, I was just about to go for a supply run.I don’t think I have enough food for even just my pokemon and myself.”she said, putting away the pen and ripping off the page from the notebook and folded it before slipping it and her wallet in to her skirt pocket and walking to the door.Sparx looked over at Lina, ready to get up and follow her.”Sparx, you can stay here, I’ve gotta get supplies.”she said, smiling at her pokemon, who stared back at her for a little bit before nodding and turning back to the tv which was now on a channel showing recorded battles from various places.Once outside, Reeaper looked up at Lina who just exited the house.”Keep the house safe, okay?”Lina said, crouching down for a bit to pet the mareep for a few moments then stood back up to go over to the bike.

“She’s not going to crush me in my sleep is she?” Dareous asked when Lina mentioned he might have to watch out for Felicity during the night. Voltt looked after at Sparx then jumped up into the chair and sat to watch TV with Sparx.

Dareous looked at the two Raichus. “You’d think they were brothers or something the way they act around each other.” he looked over at Reeaper and saw the mareep walk away. “I don’t think your mareep cares much for me being around.” He looked up as Lina mentioned that most people around here were wary of people from Pyrite. “Is there any reason why they don’t care for people from there?” he asked.

“Yeah, I’d kind of like to be able to eat while I’m here so best to grab some some stuff I’ll like. And don’t worry, I’ll pay for my stuff since you’re letting me stay here.” he said. He looked at the two Raichus as they got ready to leave. “Voltt, don’t cause too much chaos. Alright?” The raichu just looked at Dareous with an innocent look.

Dareous stepped outside, following Lina to the airbike. “Try not to drive as fast as the trip here, alright?”

“She likes being comfy..So, she might try pushing you out of the way to sleep in your spot!”Lina said, laughing a bit while imagining the scene.She looked over at the raichus and smiled.”Glad they’re getting along well.”

“People here assume that everyone from Pyrite is a thief or criminal.While it’s true that some of them are thieves and such, not everyone is…But Pyrite is where I got started, so that’s where I feel the most at home in Orre besides just hanging around my pokemon.”she explained, smiling.

Lina caught the goggles with a little difficulty and grabbed her bag from under her seat to put away the goggles before releasing Sparx from his pokeball.The raichu was quite happy to be out again and smiled up at Lina for a moment before running towards the entrance and in to the house, narrowly avoiding bumping in to Dareous.

The noise the Raichu made caused the Persian wake up and glanced up at the red head with little curiosity before turning over on to her back and sprawled out her limbs then closed her eyes to resume her nap.

Lina followed soon afterwards, rolling the bike along until she reached her house and locked up the bike to a chain attached to the side of the building.”Yep, it’s mine.For a while I was living in Pyrite Town..But then after I started getting higher in the rankings, I was able to move here.”she said, putting her hands on her hips, looking at the house with a bit of accomplishment shining in her eyes before looking over at the Persian sprawled out in the sun next to them.”Just ignore Felicity, she’s nearly always out here sun bathing..”she spoke as she motioned to the door.”Uh..If you want, you could stay here with me..Realgam’s rooms are really pricy around this time of year.”she said, a small smile on her face before walking inside.”Come on in, before you let out all the cool air!”she shouted at Dareous from inside as she strolled over to the kitchen, dropping her bag on to the small table forming the dining area.

Sparx was busy checking the news channel on the tv while sitting on an armchair.Laying on the floor nearby was a mareep, Reeaper who had been enjoying the time of peace and quiet while looking at a photo book of various nature scenery from around the world, until the return of his trainer and Sparx who both seemed to have a noisier addition to the atmosphere.His slight annoyance caused a couple of small sparks before sighing and calmed down as this was the norm and he savored the rare times of being left at home, also remembering that Lina was only going to pick up a friend from the port and that didn’t take too long to do.

Lina opened up the fridge, scanning it’s contents before shutting it and moved on to the cupboards, doing the same as the fridge.Finishing her supply check, she noticed that they were low on almost everything.Which meant a supply run was needed to be done soon.The brunette let out a small sigh, walking over to her bag to pull out a small notebook along with a pen to write down what to buy.

After seeing Sparx released from his pokeball, Dareous removed Voltt’s pokeball from his belt and sent out the Raichu. Voltt looked around for a minute before following after the running Sparx. “Always in such a hurry.” Dareous thought as he watched the two Raichus.

Dareous looked over the house again as Lina explained that she started living here after she rose higher in the racks. “So, the better you are, the nicer a place you can get pretty much?” he asked before stepping around the lazy persian laying out in the sun. He looked up as Lina suggested he stay with her while he visited. “Well, if you’ve got an extra bed or a sofa I can sleep on, I’ll stay. I don’t want to kick you out of your bed or anything.” he said as he walked inside.

After walking into the living room, Dareous spotted Voltt standing next to Sparx watching the TV. “This is a really nice place you’ve got. A lot nicer then where I usually stay when I’m in Hoenn.” he said as he followed Lina into the kitchen. After noticing Lina checking the cabinets and refrigerator he said “Do you mind taking me along when you run to the store? I was kind of rushed onto the boat and forgot to bring a bag with me and need to pick up a few things for myself.”  

“Well, yeah, from the money I earned for winning matches.”she replied, smiling.Lina looked over her shoulder at Dareous.”Yeah, I’m sure I can find you a spot to sleep in here, though you might have to deal with Felicity during the night.”

Sparx blinked, then patted the spot next to him trying to get Voltt to join him on the chair.Then he turned his attention back to the tv and started changing the channel to find something more interesting than the news.The mareep on the floor just sighed in annoyance again before getting up to sit outside where it was quieter.

Dareous looked up as Lina pointed out Orre Colosseum. “So that’s the place you’re so famous for?”  he asked as they began to pass the Colosseum. As they rode on, he looked up again as Lina pointed out Relgam Tower. “Relgam Tower? What’s so special about it?” he asked.

Lina blinked and scratched her cheek with her index finger.”Ah, not really..the Orre Colosseum is for the tip top competitors..I haven’t battled there yet.”she said, glancing over at the structure before looking ahead again.

Lina grinned, slowing down a little as they passed by the tall shiny Realgam Tower.”Realgam Tower is one of the, if not the only big tourist hotspot of Orre.There’s a hotel, a casino, a bar, and other things to do, plus a Colosseum at the top!”she explained and sped up the bike again, accelerating even more as palm trees started to appear in the distance along with tops of white stone buildings.”We’re almost to Phenac.”she said, humming along to the music.

Just another minute or two later, the city walls were fairly close now and Lina slowed down the bike again, but now this time to a stop and it was only a couple hundred feet away from the city.Setting the bike back down to the ground, Lina lifted off her goggles and got off the bike, waiting for Dareous to get out.”First house to your right when you go in that entrance.”she said, pointing at the western entrance just ahead.

“You’ve never fought at that Colosseum? I thought you were supposed to be one of the best around here.” he said. Dareous looked up as Lina explained about Relgam Tower “So it’s the tourist trap where I’ll probably be staying then I guess.” As the bike stopped, Dareous got off and removed the goggles then tossed them to Lina. “Catch.” he said then walked through the western entrance looking for Lina’s house as he walked out of the entrance. He quickly spotted as a Persian laying outside the house. “So this is your place?” he asked, looking over the outside of the house.

Lina caught the goggles with a little difficulty and grabbed her bag from under her seat to put away the goggles before releasing Sparx from his pokeball.The raichu was quite happy to be out again and smiled up at Lina for a moment before running towards the entrance and in to the house, narrowly avoiding bumping in to Dareous.

The noise the Raichu made caused the Persian wake up and glanced up at the red head with little curiosity before turning over on to her back and sprawled out her limbs then closed her eyes to resume her nap.

Lina followed soon afterwards, rolling the bike along until she reached her house and locked up the bike to a chain attached to the side of the building.”Yep, it’s mine.For a while I was living in Pyrite Town..But then after I started getting higher in the rankings, I was able to move here.”she said, putting her hands on her hips, looking at the house with a bit of accomplishment shining in her eyes before looking over at the Persian sprawled out in the sun next to them.”Just ignore Felicity, she’s nearly always out here sun bathing..”she spoke as she motioned to the door.”Uh..If you want, you could stay here with me..Realgam’s rooms are really pricy around this time of year.”she said, a small smile on her face before walking inside.”Come on in, before you let out all the cool air!”she shouted at Dareous from inside as she strolled over to the kitchen, dropping her bag on to the small table forming the dining area.

Sparx was busy checking the news channel on the tv while sitting on an armchair.Laying on the floor nearby was a mareep, Reeaper who had been enjoying the time of peace and quiet while looking at a photo book of various nature scenery from around the world, until the return of his trainer and Sparx who both seemed to have a noisier addition to the atmosphere.His slight annoyance caused a couple of small sparks before sighing and calmed down as this was the norm and he savored the rare times of being left at home, also remembering that Lina was only going to pick up a friend from the port and that didn’t take too long to do.

Lina opened up the fridge, scanning it’s contents before shutting it and moved on to the cupboards, doing the same as the fridge.Finishing her supply check, she noticed that they were low on almost everything.Which meant a supply run was needed to be done soon.The brunette let out a small sigh, walking over to her bag to pull out a small notebook along with a pen to write down what to buy.
