What A Catch | Pokémon RP | (1/2-3)

Nami's rambling came to a halt as she looked up at Donnie, then Lucas, then Kanaloa. "What d'you think about that?" Kanaloa trilled happily in response, and Wingull let out an affirming cry. "I think that's a yes from us. Having some more company would be fun."

"I-I mean, it couldn't hurt, could it?" Lucas looked down at Fennekin, who seemed very content. "Ninetales doesn't like it when I keep putting her in and out of the Pokeball, so she'll probably be traveling with us on foot for a bit."

Donnie clapped excitedly, startling Riolu a bit in the process. "That's great! And don't worry," she spoke, looking at Lucas. "Riolu and Froakie are the same way, though I try to keep them out as much as possible…" She trailed off, looking at the stubborn pokémon on the counter beside her. "Sorry for startling you," she said softly, avoiding eye contact by instead looking at Nami. "It should take around half a day to reach the first kahuna, Hala. And I think it'll take about another three days to get to the first trial, on Melemele Island. Er, without Ride Pokémon, I mean," she added, glancing at Lucas as she remembered his Pidgeot. "But if we're looking to find the most pokémon, following the routes and using the ferry is probably our best bet. What do you think?"

Lucas nodded. "I've got a Ponyta as well if we do end up needing to ride pokemon. Now, we should probably get out of the Pokecenter so we're not in the way." He adjusted his grip on Fennekin before walking out, Ninetales trotting at his heels. He glanced back to make sure the others were following. Perhaps we can learn more about each other on our journey…

Nami stood, Wingull willingly going back into his Pokeball. Kanaloa returned to her shoulders happily, and she started off after Lucas, turning to walk backwards and watch Donnie. "Adventure awaits!"

"Mhmm. New pokemon to find, as well. Although none could quite replace Fennekin." He smiled softly and put Fennekin back onto his shoulder. Ninetales growled impatiently, but not really in an aggressive way. "Now, now Ninetales." He scratched gently behind Ninetales' ears. "We'll be on our way soon."

Donnie turned to Riolu questioningly, but the pokémon was already hopping off the counter and brushing himself off. He shot her a look as if to say Not today, and proceeded to follow her new friends. With a quiet sigh, she bent down to pick up Froakie, the Kalos region starter going slack in contentment as he didn't have to walk. The foam bubbles around his neck stuck slightly to her arms, but it didn't bother Donnie in the slightest as she jogged to catch up to Nami and Lucas. "So, since we'll be traveling together, I feel like we should share a few basic things about ourselves. Like… My full name is Donna Lee Reeds, but I don't like being called by my first name, hence the nickname. Um, I just turned fifteen a couple of months ago, aannd my favorite color is yellow. Like my shirt," she added helpfully, gesturing to the article of clothing as she moved Froakie aside gently.

" Lanakila Kauhane, I'm fifteen too." Nami said, flashing Donnie a grin as she spun around in circles as they walked. "I'm a surfer, self-diagnosed adventurer, and am going to be the best explorer the world's ever seen." She said confidently, and Kanaloa chirped in agreement.

"I'm Lucas Mulbright." He waved a bit. "I'm thirteen years old, and my… well, I don't really have a favorite color. Maybe red, since I favor fire type pokemon." Fennekin trilled happily, excited for the adventure. Ninetales sent an annoyed look at Fennekin, but kept quiet. "I hatched Fennekin myself. He's my first pokemon, and we've been through a lot. Haven't we, Quin?" He pet Fennekin's head. (Oh yeah, Fennekin's name is actually Quin lol. There's a reason for that)

"You guys are amazing," Donnie said sincerely, again admiring Nami's confidence and Lucas's gentle nature. "Oh! There are a few ways to get to Iki Town. We can go down Route 2, or pass the beachfront and Trainer School. I think there's another Pokémon Center down that way, too, though Route 2 might be faster… Here, I have a map," she offered, unfolding a crinkled sheet of colorful paper and handing it to Nami. "I'm not great with these things, if I'm being honest," she laughed, shifting Froakie's weight so he'd be more comfortable. Riolu walked alongside the group looking like a loner, but seemingly enjoying the walk for the time being.

"Who needs a map?" Nami said, accepting the paper anyway. "I recommend passing by the Trainer School. Get a little more practice in there, and stop by the PokeCenter." She laughed, rubbing the back of her neck. "I still need more Potions. 'Specially after that last encounter."

"Sounds good to me!" Donnie agreed, looking to Lucas for confirmation. "Oh, and I have a few extra potions you can use if necessary, Nami," she explained. "Or Lucas! I prefer going to the Pokémon Centers because the staff and pokémon there have been trained to handle things professionally, but I keep extras in case something happens and I'm too far away… Of course it's hypothetical, since this will be my first time leaving Hau'oli City since arriving… " She chuckled lightly, briefly closing her eyes in a head tilt to convey her slight embarrassment. "I have been past the Trainer school, though, when I met Professor Kukui, to chose my starter." She looked fondly at Froakie as she spoke, indicating her choice.

"Potions are good… I've got several of my own, actually, but thanks for the offer." Lucas smiled, walking quietly beside the others. He figured they were more experienced than him since he was two years younger, but he had read a lot of books on pokemon while he was under his father's 'care', although the word is used loosely. Lucas had actually decided to name his Fennekin Quin in honor of his twin brother, Claus. Claus used to call Fennekins 'Fennequins' to annoy Lucas, who always corrected him. Either way, it brought back fond memories of his brother from when he was alive.

(Please don't let this die I like it a lot qvq we could do so much with it)

((I don't think it's dead, some of us are just busy finishing school. I know that's why I've been spotty))

(Oof I've been done with school for a little while)

(beats roleplay with a stick in an attempt to revive it )

((I'm alive, barely, don't worry not letting this die I've just been swamped. At first it was school, then my parents seperating, then it was the cat we adopted after she was hit by a car, then a concert (yay), then looking at colleges and SAT/ACT sign ups that I still haven't decided on, then trying to get my driver's license—which I haven't. Long story short my life is hectic and really trying to get me down right now, but I promise I'm gonna come back to this soon and if I don't, find me and put me out of my misery))

(:P)
