“What the hell?" Silver raised his brows at her. Why the hell was she waving at him? "Who the fuck are you even?”
Oh-- well, this could have turned out better than it had. After a moment of hesitation, the trainer took out a notepad and pencil, not taking too long to write down her response.
Sorry about that! I'm Mei, and I'd greet you properly, but I can't really speak, as you could probably tell.
"Ah, is that so? Well, communication doesn’t fall solely on vocalization, at least! What’s your name? I’m Morty, and I’m from Johto!"
Johto? Wow! Welcome to Unova, Mr. Morty, I'm Mei, a trainer!
Perhaps she could actually act her age, but then that wouldn't really be her.
The boy returned the warm smile and wave, noting that the fire boar in the distance may have been eyeing him. Well, obviously Touya didn’t mean any harm and simply wanted to chat.
“Um, my name is Touya, and this is Serperior. What’s your name?” he said, petting the Snake Pokemon as it flicked its tongue in eagerness.
Touya? That name was a bit familiar, but she couldn't remember why. Oh, well, she'll probably find out eventually, when she remembers at least. Quickly reaching for her bag, she took out a notepad and a pen, flipping it open and jotting down some words.
It's a pleasure to meet you, Touya and Serperior! My name is Mei, and this is Zoroark. I'd greet you properly but I can't speak.
"Neither have I, actually. It's nice to know there are other people out there - there sure aren't any in Sinnoh that I've met. Where are you from?"
Their similarities aside, she certainly seemed nice enough for Lucas to want to know more about her. Maybe they’d end up as friends.
Sinnoh--? Oh! Her sister had mentioned that a few times, if she remembered correctly. Truthfully, she had never been out of the region.
Sinnoh? I've never been there before! What's it like? I'm from Unova, and there aren't any people like us that I've met there either. It's so exciting to finally meet one!
He couldn’t keep the smile off his face - he had almost started to think he’d never meet anyone else like him. Pulling out his own notepad, he quickly wrote out his own response.
"Hi! I can't speak, either. I'm Lucas, nice to meet you!"
Ah! Someone like her? This was great-- Well, in a way it was, she wouldn't feel as lonely anymore knowing she met someone so nice that was like her.
Really? Wow, I've never met another one before! It's a pleasure to meet you, Lucas!
It was obvious her excitement to meeting another- they were a bit rare, in a sense.
He read the notepad once more…and didn’t like what he saw..he really couldn’t blame her for asking him but..it still was a sensitive topic.
"Yeah I suppose you could say that…"
She didn’t know that his sister was also missing but..that was for another time..maybe… his head hanged a bit lower then normal, his hands in his jacket.
Oh-- oh dear, it seemed she did strike a nerve by accident. Scratching her cheek for a moment, hesitating before writing down on the pad once more. What was she supposed to say?
I'm sorry if I brought up some horrible memories.
There's another moment of hesitation before nodding to herself.
I'm sure you'll find it eventually, though!
The brunet found the quiet beach a bit eerie, having been so used to sounds of a crowded beach. Touya scratched his neck, his Serperior slithering beside him.
“—?” He noticed a girl watch Pokemon play in the water and sand, and took a moment to decide whether or not to bother her. Too late, the dark-type sniffed him out.
“Um, hello!”
The Zoroark called to the trainer as a greeting, the trainer waving in return. She gave him a friendly smile, as if welcoming him over to sit with her. If he wanted to, he could; she saw no issue.
The Emboar glanced protectively between the two trainers, but kept himself over by the other Pokemon- After all, the dark-type could easily watch over its trainer.
Oh, just a wave? Lucas didn’t want to jump to any conclusions, but he couldn’t help but be curious as to why she hadn’t just said ‘hi’. For now, he just returned the smile and waved back.
Her smile grew, taking out a notepad and pen, beginning to jot down some words.
Hello there! I would greet you normally, but unfortunately I'm unable to talk. My name is Mei!

That's-- a lot pf people, huh? Rather odd for so many people to approach her. Though, there was no reason for her to be hostile towards them. With a smile, the mute waved at them.

The bay was oddly quiet, normally people were bouncing around and having fun, but.. today was an off day for everyone, wasn't it? For Mei, she was just sitting there on a towel, watching her Pokemon play happily on the beach. Though Azu and Rio seemed to be the only ones to actually play in the water, it was still enjoyable to see them smiling. The only thing that caught her attention was a small sound given by Zoroark, a cautious one, signalling an approaching stranger.
He looked at her notepad once more then shifted to look back at her, something obviously struck a cord within him but he ignored it. ”A simple goal and ambition huh..yeah you are right about that…”
Perhaps those weren't the best words to use, if he was anything like the Hugh she knew, certain words would push buttons and then he'd just go on a rampage of words.
I'm guessing you also searched for your sisters Purrlion?
Oh-- why did she even ask that. Truthfully, it was most likely curiosity that overtook the trainer; if he had found out the truth or not.

The Giant Chasm; the resting place of what was her final battle against Neo Plasma, where she faced off against Ghetsis and Kyurem. It was because of her that they disbanded, and despite knowing that it was for the better of it all, Mei couldn't help but feel.. sorry for what she did. They had ambitions, though cruel in their own ways, and at least they had people who supported them. Now, yes while she expected most to stay close to one another, they would have a difficult time returning to a normal life, much like the ex-Plasma members she had met.
She wished she could help in some way, but.. well, most of them harbored ill feelings towards the mute. Not much she could do right now, even if she could she didn't know what.
"Trying is all that matters. Good comes later." he said smiling. "So um… do you like music or movies or anything?" he asked the hit himself in the head "I mean do you have a specific genera you like."
Hmm, that was a good question. Normally, Mei didn't listen to music or watch many movies-- call her boring if you want, but it's true.
Well.. I don't really watch or listen to anything, I'm usually training my team or something. I do play the piano sometimes- would that count?
Anxiety almost gives way to curiosity at her method of responding, but that only really gives way to more anxiety. What if she dislikes communicating like this? He’s certainly had no experience with sign language…
"I’m fine, don’t worry about me! I’m, ah, glad you’re alright. I wasn’t watching where I was going either, honestly… I’m not, uh. I’m a tourist."
She was more than happy to hear his reassurance, despite knowing she would most likely never knock someone over, it was.. comforting to know it. Still, her smile did not falter in the least, perhaps it even grew slightly.
Good! Ah- A tourist? Welcome to Unova, then! I'm Mei, and as you've probably guessed, I'm mute.
Though, she could use her Lucario as assistance, it felt better to do it this way upon first meeting. It usually.. freaked people out.
He was surprised to see someone who resembled Mei, but not talk at all. He tilted his head, reading the notepad.
"Uh hey, oh huh you can’t speak? That’s quite something..yet you still manage that’s incredible…"
Ah- She.. wasn't expecting that, either. Normally she'd get a 'sorry you can't speak' or something rather generic like that.
It's nothing really, honestly! A simple goal and some ambition is really all someone needs to keep going, no?

1 2 3... four.
Arm raised in the air, signalling to her Pokemon to attack, the Emboar did just that; giving a roar, raising its own arm, sparks flying from it before it was engulfed by electricity, plowing into the enemy Pokemon.

There's a moment of hesitation-- should she really do this? ..The answer is a simple yes. She didn't come all the way here just to back out, even if it did mean her sister would get mad. Kalos, a region far from Unova, far from the safety of her own sisters arms. But-- she was here.
