@libratio a murder on the polar express!

A train ride with complimentary hot cocoa would draw the attention of any adolescent and their digimon. Though, in the middle of their ride, an announcement cut across the PA system: a body has been discovered, and its up to the passengers of the locomotive to figure out who the perpetrator was before they arrived to their destination.

Naturally, this earned Daisuke's ire, "Can't I go one day being on this island without something happening!!"

"With that mentality, you'd be in your room allllllll daaaaay! We best find someone and build up our alibi, before we're suspected, dummy!" Chibimon did in fact have a point...

So, Daisuke jumped on the cushion of his chair to see who was behind him...And it was some woman...With an egg digimon...He thinks??? Actually, he's not sure. Adults having digimon partners wasn't exactly common, so who knows. Now wasn't the time to bug out about that.

"Hey, lady. You didn't see anybody super suspicious in our cabin, did you?" And, while Daisuke was busy sleuthing, that was enough for Chibimon to enact its ultimate plan: drink the rest of Daisuke's hot cocoa while he was distracted...Always works.

@libratio ⎛ s.c ⎠

grisham had spent his youth as a member of team flare, but that had never stopped him from paying attention to what sorts of trainers lived in other regions. as any aspiring trainer would, he longed for his own adventure.

he knew this woman from various media sources. the champion of the sinnoh region. a formidable opponent with garchomp as her ace. but here ... ❝ champion cynthia? ❞

her name is spoken with a soft awe, fitting for a young man like grisham. he'd never been able to have a proper journey before, with kalos' league system shifting into the battle royale ⎛ and of course, there was no need for him to go challenging gyms when he was sent out hunting legendaries for lysandre instead... ⎠ , there was something about meeting a champion face to face that made him feel like maybe he'd achieved something that other trainers on a proper journey had.

not that he expected many to reach the level of skill where they'd actually face a champion.

❝ i ... didn't actually think i would ever meet a champion of another region, ❞ awkward, but true. the encounter he'd had with a champion in the past had been his few meetings with diantha, introduced by lysandre as 'rising talent' and 'someone with great potential'. grisham hadn't known what to say to diantha, either. ❝ i mean, that's often what competitive trainers dream of, i think. challenging a league and meeting a champion, win or lose- ❞

at his side, charmander lets out a little chirp, as if he could tell how nervous his trainer felt. it made sense, after all. grisham's bond with charmander was what allowed the lizard pokemon to mega evolve- at least as charizard. but not now. in fact, he wasn't sure where his own keystone was, or where the charizardite x had gone. maybe it was with the rest of his team ... ❝ uh ... ❞

❝ well, i guess this only makes sense if i say i'm also a trainer, right? it's an honor to meet you. ❞
