Tabi Port; The beginning of a grand adventure...

Tabi Port has obviously modernised recently. Small cottages and equally-small shops are dwarfed by the new constructions; the Tabi Hotel, and the nearby Pokemon Centre.

Occupying what clearly is usually the village green is a large marquee, a large banner attached to the top reading 'Honi's First League Trainers, departing at 10am!' A big, bulky man stands outside the entrance to the marquee, checking IDs and only permitting the prospective trainers in; kids of various ages are emerging from the hotel at irregular intervals and being allowed in, often watched by tearful friends and family.

The mood is overall quite festive, with all manner of souvenirs being hawked by the entrepenurial villagers. It is now 9:50, and the last boat expected to arrive has just pulled into the docks, bringing with it the last few soon-to-be Trainers, who are now disembarking onto dry land.

You are all amongst these Trainers. What do you do now?

Abbey relaxes her grip on the sketchpad, grateful that Sibyl decided not to press the issue. She waves with a smile as the other group leaves, but then hangs back from the others to finish her sketches as they talk amongst themselves.

Maybe it was the detective-novel-imitation, but the hooded figure seems to notice Isabella looking at her, and after a few moments gets up and, still keeping his head down to hide his face, heads out of the Pokemon Centre.

Sibyl just looks confused at Isabella's words, but her eyes follow the hooded guy as he walks out.
"Well, looks like this place is full of strange characters," she muses with a casual shrug.

Jeremy doesn't join in when Isabella laughs. He knows that if this guy is watching them, he's watching them closely. He does quickly turn away when the figure turns and stands, though.

"I don't like this. Can we get a move on?" he urges after the figure heads out the door.

Isabella's more than a little put out that her incredibly subtle deception failed. Shoot. Well, it was worth a try.

She glances over at Sybil incredulously. "We're getting spied on by somebody who's obviously interested in not showing their face and that's all you have to say? Jeremy's right, there's something fishy going on here. We should see where they're going." She is blithely unconcerned with whether that's actually what Jeremy meant.

She beckons in Abbey's direction. "C'mon, Abbey, let's go."

Abbey looks up from her sketchpad. "Eh? Ah! O-okay, be right there," Abbey says, putting the finishing touches on the last sketch and then putting the book away in her bag as she trots over to join everyone else. Not that she knows where they're going, considering she missed the whole exchange with the hooded figure while lost in her own little world.

Sibyl raises her eyebrow in skepticism. She hasn't seen as much of the hooded fellow as the other two, so she isn't quite as convinced about him being suspicious as them. "You sure you're not imagining things?", she asks, clearly thinking they're just paranoid. "Well, might as well. On the off chance its something to be worried about, to put your mind at ease," she reasons. Besides, it did feel kind of exciting to investigate this. Like a detective novel, in fact.

"He was looking right at us. And he ran away when he saw we'd noticed him. Seems pretty suspicious to me."

She starts to turn to head for the door, hoping they haven't wasted too much time and they can still pick up their watcher's trail. She trusts everybody else to follow - she's entirely failed to consider that Abbey might still not actually know what they're doing.

Jeremy pulls his hood up, silently cursing Isabella's curious nature. He just wanted to challenge Gyms and start a new life, not go back to skulking about and tailing people. Nevertheless, he follows her out the door.

The hooded figure, rather unexpectedly, is nowhere to be seen. Which, considering that this place is pretty open, is a quite impressive feat. A couple of people are looking up into the sky and talking excitedly, though.
