Ava had decided to do some last minute shopping at the Hau’oli mall before she readied herself to face the Kahuna. It was time she moved on, and tried this Island challenge custom of the Alola region. But to do that she had to actually find it in herself to depart to the next Island.
She had managed to gather a full fledged Team and had been training them relentlessly in Melemele Meadow. Her Popplio Roxas was currently resting in her arms, tending to like being outside a Pokeball versus inside of it.
She had been in the clothing section for less than a few minutes when she heard a ruckus from the front, and her natural curiosity led her to seeing what was going on.
Before her was a girl clad in a skull themed uniform, with pink dyed hair and a mask around her face. Ava had heard from them about the locals. ‘Team Skull’ as they were called. Ava had only met one of them once, a dark skinned kid only known as ‘B’ that had tried to take her Buneary. She had stared at him blankly until he lost the nerve and left. She apparently had that effect on people when she wasn’t up for battling.
Not to say she wouldn’t jump into the fray to keep her Pokemon safe.
The skull girl in question seemed to be holding a few things in her arms, many of them Rockruff themed. Perhaps she really liked Rockruffs?
