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?

Right. Introductions are in order. "My name's, um, Abigail Padma, but, um... you can call me Abbey... if you want..." Her voice gets quieter and quieter as she reaches the end. She's always liked the shortened form of her name more, but her parents and the staff working at her house had always insisted on using her full name. It's been a long held dream to have actual friends who would call her "Abbey". But I can't just say that! It's so embarrassing! she laments internally. "A-a-anyway, it's nice to meet you all."

She glances at Isabella interacting with her Pokemon and smiles, then perks up when she mentions her intent to battle the boastful trainer from earlier. "Ah, then, um, maybe we should... w-wait for him, then?" she suggests. "It'll give us all some time to, you know, get to know our Pokemon a bit before we actually head out." She still doesn't really relish the idea of starting out their journey with two of the trainers on terse terms, but she also has a feeling trying to talk Isabella out of it would be fruitless. Or... at least the idea of trying makes her nervous enough to want to avoid the confrontation altogether. Best to just try and make the best of it.

As she makes the suggestion, she pulls out the Poke Ball containing the Ralts and her groomer's kit. She was determined to make a good first impression on her starter Pokemon. Since the others seem happy to wait as well, she releases her Pokemon so they can get to know each other.

The Ralts emerges and promptly moves a little to stay near Abbey, apparently a little nervous about meeting the other Pokemon, particularly the still-giggling Misdreavus.

The Misdreavus appears and floats around Sibyl in a circle as if inspecting her, before darting forwards and trying to tickle her under the chin with something of a giggle.


Sibyl turns to keep looking at the circling Misdreavus, remarking dryly, “Sorry, no fancy tricks here.” until it moves in for the tickle.

“What the…!” Sibyl steps back slightly, before smiling back at it, “Oh, I’m going to get you Miriam!” and moves in to try and catch her for revenge. “That’s your new name by the way.”

Abbey smiles warmly at the Ralts. Its behavior reminds her a lot of herself. "Don't worry. These are the people we'll be traveling with from now on," she says soothingly, squatting down so her face will be level with the Ralts.

At hearing the other trainers name their Pokemon, she figures she probably should too. She's never named a Pokemon before though; outside of identifying its species anyway. Mm... something that sounds more like a name, but is easy to remember... She thinks for a moment and then smiles. "How about Rana? It's still pretty close to 'Ralts', I guess, but I'm not very good at naming things..." she says.

Remembering she has the groomer's kit out already, she holds up the brush for Rana to see. "We're going to be here waiting for someone for a bit, so how about I brush you a little before we get busy doing things? Can't hurt to look your best, right? And we can go over how we can work together at the same time."

Miriam seemingly allows herself to be caught by her Trainer - one would presume as a ghost it wouldn't be hard for her to escape if she wanted to - and gives another little giggle, looking up at Sibyl with what could almost be described as a wolfish, mischevious smile.

Rana tilts her head sideways slightly at the brush and lets out a little cry. "Ra!" She seems quite pleased by her new name and the offer of a brush.

"It's not that reliable, I only saw me," Isabella replies offhandedly to Sybil. It might take a while for it to be clear just how casual Isabella can be about the fact that she actually sees the future. "No reason we can't all get there, though, especially if we're working together anyway."

She grins a little, pleased to have backup. The rich kid had said something about his whole group... "Hey, I'm not gonna say no to some moral support. Though if you guys stick around his friends might decide to help out, too, just warning you."

She turns her head to address Chouette. "Okay, smart girl, hop down now, please. I have a present for you but I need both arms to get it. Besides, my arm's getting tired." As it turned out, a Pokémon twice the size of a Natu was also considerably heavier.

Seeing how the girls were releasing and bonding with their Pokémon, Jeremy decides to do the same. He taps the button on his new Pokéball. Once his Hounder is released, Jeremy sits on his haunches to get level with the creature and holds out his hand for him to sniff.

As Abbey brushes Rana's hair, she glances up at Isabella with a slightly confused look. "What's 'not that reliable'?" She senses there's some kind of disconnect in the conversation somewhere that she isn't privy to.

"O-of course we'll support you. We're a... team now, right?" she says with a hesitant smile. She hopes the part about the boy's friends challenging them isn't the case. Just as she's never owned a Pokemon, she's never battled with one before either. She'd really prefer to take this opportunity to observe a battle before jumping in head first. She's a fervent believer in the adage "knowledge is power". It would be in poor taste to turn them down if they challenged her directly though...

Chouette looks a bit disappointed at Isabella's command but flutters down to perch on the ground - shifting somewhat uncomfortably as Jeremy's Houndour materalises right in front of her. Fortunately, after a brief glance around, the Houndour seems more interested in its new Trainer, leaning forwards sniff briefly at Jeremy's outstretched hand before looking up at him with what could be considered a kind of appraising look.

The tent flap opens again as the next group of Trainers to set out on their journey emerge. It seems they've not quite gotten off on the best of footing as they are arguing already - Rana huddles a little closer to Abbey at the raised voices. The boastful boy who challenged Isabelle is not amongst them.

Jeremy pets the Houndour affectionately. "What's up, little man? Name's Jeremy. I'm your trainer now. I'm gonna call you Ellis. I hope that's okay."

He stands and turns to Isabella, ignoring the racket that the other trainers are making. "Y'know, I wouldn't mind helping you in a battle. S'been ages since I had one and I was already thinking of targeting that guy. Count me in."
