unova. silver could honestly say this place was up there on his list of preferred regions - just on the account of how seriously battling had been taken there. new layouts, new rules, and new strategies he's never heard of until making it there, and it's also what kept him coming back. even more so when an old acquaintance and battle partner had been making talk of the town, how he made his goals a reality. there was something sincere in the feeling silver got after hearing the news, almost as soon as he'd entered aspertia.
it's not hard to navigate a new city, he's learned the art with years of practice. he took his time with it, still ; the city is flourishing, and the closeness of the natural world and pokemon with urbanization is something he quite adores seeing. this could be one of his favorite cities, by far.
the school and gym isn't hard to find, and familiar black hair and familiar voice stands out from the rest - he looks different, though. ( silver knows he could say the same for himself, but still ; the progression of time always seemed to catch him off guard with things like this. ) and still, he'd circle his way around the lobby area to nearby where cheren stood, engrossed in a conversation with someone else. likely a gym trainer. and so he'd wait and take in the sights of the room he stood in, just until it'd ended and the other person walked away. silver reorients himself.
" cheren. " a slight dip of the head in greeting, firmness to his voice for it to be heard the short distance he stood.
"long time no see."
