it took scarlett a second – and then a laugh bubbled passed her lips. using one hand to cover her mouth slightly, she nodded at the other girl. “now with some context.. it’s actually kind of a cute nickname.” thank god it wasn’t something dirty. scarlett had no idea how she would react to something like that. “oh, uh, yeah. from violet city.” a beat. because she just realized she never introduced herself. “scarlett. it’s nice to meet you.”

Sofia let out a sigh of relief and then also dissolved into giggles. “Oh thank Arceus. I realised how weird that had to sound if you didn’t know what I meant.” Not to mention accidentally spreading rumours about Oak would not do her or him any favours. “Oh yeah that’s where the Johto Trainer school is, right? I’ve never been to one, but always wanted to.” Sofia stuck a hand out to the girl she now knew as Scarlett. “I’m Sofia, but I also apparently answer to trouble, rascal and my personal favourite, you there.”

Sofia goes for a dip in the shallow end of Route 21. Does she encounter any Pokemon while she's there?

As Sofia wades through the water, she feels herself being splashed by something. She turns and sees a genderless Staryu is sending a Water Gun attack her way.

She was going to miss always having the ocean so close to her, and that was the reason Sofia went for a last minute swim before planning on leaving Pallet Town. As she waded in the shallow end, she felt water hitting the back of her head. Confused, she turned and found herself face to face with a Staryu that continued to splash water in her direction. Laughing to herself, Sofia sent a wave of water right back at the Staryu and while it was distracted she swam back to shore to grab an empty pokeball. They continued to splash each other back and forth a few more times until Sofia saw her opening and threw the pokeball at the water Pokemon.

“Well, there’s plenty of time to join in on the fun. What’s your poison?” She asked, eyeing the table full of pretty bottles. Her fingers almost tingled at the thought of stealing more. “So you’re from Kanto? Huh. Why’d you stick around Pallet this long when there’s nothing to do? Doesn’t Oak hand out Squirtles or something to every kid on the corner?”

“Hmmm...” Sofia peered over at the bottles and felt her eyes linger on a bottle of Tequila. “I would not say no to the Patron.”At the question of why she’d spent so long in Pallet, Sofia hesitated. There were many reasons why she’d stayed in her hometown for so long, where to start was the question. “Not every kid...” She was only a little bit bitter, but Sofia also knew if she’d left any earlier, she’d have left without her mom’s blessing and that was everything to her. “Kinda got talked into taking a job close by. Did that for a few years and then that ended and finally I decided it was my time to move on. The fact it came right as Oak decided to be generous... I guess he’s got good timing.”

Troy couldn’t help but laugh at the stranger struggling so hard with the door. He’d thought it was weirdly heavy, but maybe that had something to do with all the Pokemon wandering around. “You come to Oak’s a lot?” He asked, bringing his joint to his lips again and inhaling slowly. “No worries, I was getting a little sick of the rambling too. But hey, one night for a free Pokemon, I think even I can stomach that without starting shit.”

“I did at one point. Then life got busy. That and I made one comment once and the old man started eyeing me cautiously every time I so much as sneezed.” Sofia nodded, thinking about how she’d waited for Oak to give her a Pokemon for most of her life and this was finally going to be her moment. “Hey for a free Pokemon from Oak, I’d put up with a whole week of parties. I might not have gotten my starter from him but this is almost as good. At least I didn’t have to come far. What about you?”

“For real? Did you go looking for it a lot? If Jubilife had any kind of awesome haunted thing I would have had such an obvious place to escape home to go,” Hayley said excitedly, not believing her luck. She’d stumbled on a local? How convenient and cool was that? “All the really cool stuff in Sinnoh was far away though, so… blep.” She shrugged apologetically for not being able to come up with a real word to describe how lame the big city she called home could be sometimes. “Wait, why am I wasting time asking you this in here? You can tell me while we’re on our way to the forest, let’s go let’s go let’s go!” Hayley said eagerly, looping her arm through the girl’s and steering her towards the outskirts of town without even bothering to ask her name. Who cared? This was an adventure, and this girl seemed like a new friend! Hayley didn’t need to know anything else.

“Only all the time! It’s one of the few things to do here.” It was weird to meet someone so excited about such a random part of Pallet life. But Sofia could definitely get behind the girl’s excitement and perhaps make a new friend while she was at it. “I gotta admit, I don’t know much about Sinnoh but I’m willing to bet your city was way cooler than this place.” Before Sofia had a chance to say anything else, she felt herself being pulled away from Oak’s lab and out towards the grassy area to the north of the town. Hopefully the other girl wasn’t an axe murderer, but Sofia had enough faith in her own self defence skills, not to mention Grayson. Speaking of Grayson...Sofia grabbed her Pokeball and released her starter now that she was finally far away enough from the party. “Where’d you even hear about the Phantom anyhow? I wouldn’t have thought a local legend would have made it all the way to Sinnoh?”

“I’ve always dreamed of being the next Cerulean City’s gym leader. Although I’m definitely going to capture pokemon of all types.” Andrew admitted with a grin. “But yeah, I definitely picked a water pokemon as my starter. A Staryu, in fact. How about you?”

“I’m guessing you’re from there? I've been a few times and it’s a really nice city.” It was nice meeting other Kanto natives. Especially ones close to her age. The one issue of living somewhere without a school was that Sofia didn’t have many friends her own age that lived nearby. “Grayson’s a Growlithe. I’ve had him a few years now. And I just realised that you know my Pokemon’s name before you even know mine. I’m Sofia,” she introduced herself with a semi-awkward wave.

“nope. i’m from hammerlocke in galar, actually. and it’s.. well. compared to this place, it’s practically a country.” she sounded so.. snooty. and she hated it. she could hear it in her own voice and it made her wince. her fingers tugging at the edge of her own dress. “i know we have to wait for oak to gift us a pokemon and let us go on our way properly, but.. he’s sure taking his time with it, huh?”

Galar was a place Sofia could only dream of visiting. She had barely even explored her home region, let alone travelled to an entirely new one. “Heh, yeah. I bet. This place is pretty small. Hammerlocke has always sounded awesome though. I’m a big fan of Haihan.” Sofia glanced over to where Professor Oak was still regaling a group of trainers with one of his many stories. “I guess this is the most trainers he’s had around in awhile. He’s got a captive audience right now, so sounds about right. It’s getting dark out anyway. I doubt anyone will wanna actually set off till the morning.”

trainerscarlett‌:

“Oaky Pokey?” That was the one that definitely stood out to her. Oaky Pokey. It sounded like a dirty old man nickname. Which.. Maybe Oak was. But she hoped not. That would be a lot of respect lost for someone she looked up to. “I only know him from the radio show he does in Johto sometimes. It was always fun to listen to.”

“Yeah! Y'know? Like the dance?” Out of context the name probably sounded pretty weird but surely everyone had experienced the hokey pokey at least once in their lives, right? Or maybe it was a Kanto thing and now Sofia looked like a really weird person. “He’s pretty cool for an old dude and I guess he knows a lot about Pokemon or whatever. Does that mean you’re from Johto?"

“Okay, so I may not be up on all the hot young lingo, but it’s not ordinarily a popular opinion. At least not among other men, they tend to be very drink beer and pretend it doesn’t taste terrible,” He scrunched up his face. “Like why are brew tours a thing? I don’t want to go get even shittier beer that has chipolte sauce or oatmeal mixed in. I want to go somewhere that can make me a good margarita.” He glanced over at her drink, which had several tiny umbrellas in it and suddenly felt shafted. “How did you bribe the barkeeper to give you all those? He wouldn’t even give me extra maraschino cherries for my Pokemon.” Well, most of them were for Luna. He was only going to eat one or two.

“That’s just because they’re not secure in their sexuality and feel the need to prove how macho they are by drinking things that taste like actual dirt.” Sofia had never been much of a beer person, preferring to stick with spirits when she drank. “If you’re going to ingest that many liquid calories, it had better taste good.” She could see him eyeing up her umbrellas and immediately plucked one from her drink and handed it to the man. “Now we’re even and don’t tell anyone, but...I have an inside man,” she mock whispered, putting her hand up to her face to ham up the secrecy.

“water off a psyduck’s back.” she repeated the words beneath her breath. oh, yeah. she liked that one. she’d never heard it before. stepping up next to the stranger, scarlett tilted her head. eyebrow raising. “oaky?” she was almost confused. she’d never heard someone refer to a professor like that before. “are you good friends with the professor or something?”

“Just one of many name’s I call Professor Oak to annoy him. Oaky, Oakster, Oaky Pokey, Poison Oak...etc. You get the picture.” She guessed it was probably a little weird for those on the outside looking in for her to behave so irreverently towards him, especially seeing how he was a world renowned Pokemon professor. “I’ve known him my whole life. It’s hard not to know everyone here when it’s such a small place.”

draconicwendy‌:

“and a simple busted window could send them all running? they really must not have a whole lot to do.” she had no idea pallet town was so.. country. it was like being out in the middle of nowhere, practically. “yeah, yeah, fine. i’m just getting all kinds of.. squirrely. i’ve got a lot of pent up energy and nowhere to put it.”

"I’m guessing you’re not from Kanto, so welcome to the smallest town in the region,” Sofia smiled apologetically, “Famous for this lab and that’s about it. Oh and the Xanadu nursery I guess, but that’s more Pallet adjacent.” Sofia had gotten used to the size of her hometown but there was a reason she frequently ventured out onto Route 21 and volunteered to run any and all errands that required visiting larger towns and cities when she could. “I know that feeling. Can’t wait to actually get moving.”

umbentley‌:

she drank, she danced and now she was totally over the party. bentley made her way outside for some fresh air as her scorbunny hops beside her, she turns to him and sighs. “ these things are overrated, don’t you agree, scorbunny ?? ” leaning up against the fence, she pulls out her pokedex and scrolls through it, trying to figure out which pokemon she wanted to attempt to encounter next. she was deep in thought that she hadn’t heard the noises coming from the bushes behind her. looking down, she watches as her scorbunny hops off and her eyebrows raise in confusion. “ where are you going ?? ” she shouts out before walking into the bushes with her flashlight on. “ okay, i’m not in the mood for hide-n-go-seek scorbunny… come out now, would you. ” a snap of a branch echos through the bushes and it has her almost spinning a full 360 in fear “ whos there !? ” she calls out.

Parties were fun and all but after awhile it was easy to start feeling claustrophobic in a small space filled to the brim with people. Early on, Sofia had made the conscious choice of keeping Grayson in his pokeball, figuring  that fire and alcohol weren’t the best combination, but after awhile she’d started to feel guilty. That was the point where she decided to get some air. The stars and moon were out in full force and Sofia knew the area like the back of her hand so she elected to forego any kind of flashlight and just wandered out into the greenery next to Oak’s lab. Releasing Grayson into the area, she flopped down onto the ground and watched as he playfully ran around the area before slipping away into a bush. She knew he’d be back when he was ready so she allowed herself to just lay there and gaze up at the sky, tuning out the nearby sounds of the party. It wasn’t until she had a face full of flashlight that she realised she wasn’t alone. “Hey can you shine that somewhere else? You’re kinda blinding me.”

“of course they don’t. last thing i need to do is get myself in trouble just before this whole thing kicks off.” wendy grumbled beneath her breath. she knew she needed to behave.. but she wasn’t happy about it. not even slightly.  boredom was a dangerous thing for her. “i thought the whole idea of small towns like this was that the police had nothing better to do.”

“It’s more like...they have so little to do here in Pallet Town that when something big does come along they kinda go overboard,” Sofia shrugged, she’d gotten in trouble more times than she cared to admit, but mostly because that meant she wasn’t as good evading trouble as she liked to admit. “I’m sure you’ll have plenty of opportunity to break stuff in the future...just maybe somewhere that doesn’t belong to a dude who’s about to but hasn’t yet given you a cool Pokemon.”

“Excellent! I’m confident I could claim that crown even if there were others like me, but I’m not going to complain about not having competition,” Victoria laughed, taking another drink. She looked back to the girl and shrugged her shoulders, loosely crossing her arms. “I’ve known water-types my whole life, really. I’m from Cerulean City and I shouldn’t have to tell you just how beautiful of an aquarium it has. I spent a lot of time in that aquarium growing up so, shocker, I’m a water-type trainer now. That’s pretty much it.”

“But competition makes everything at least 10 times more fun!” Sofia chuckled, putting her hands behind her head. “Okay that’s freakin’ awesome. I love my hometown but it’s always sucked that I never got to live somewhere with a gym or something half as cool as an aquarium. I feel like every other place in Kanto has at least one cool selling point. So are you looking to just raise water types or do you think you’ll ever add other types to your team?”

“Don’t worry, I promise not to ralph all over the Professor’s ugly carpet. This is just going to come with me on my travels and help keep me warm on those long, cold nights stuffed inside a sleeping bad.” Tabby looked the girl up and down, wondering how someone with so much sass had gotten themselves roped into clean up crew duty. “What’d you do to get stuck housecleaning after the fact?”

“Phew!” Sofia pretended to wipe her brow with the back of her hand. “Also not a bad plan. I’m almost sad I didn’t think of it first.” She was no stranger to camping and actually didn’t mind sleeping in a tent but she knew not everyone felt that way and for some it got old real quick. ”Oh nothing scandalous. Pallet’s a small place and I grew up here which means I always get roped into stuff like this one way or another.”
