.:sunshine on a cloudy day:.

Cinder the Ninetales sat on the periphery, carefully chewing a berry, while she watched Honoré tromp into the grass. Cloud, her Swablu, was with her, so Cinder could relax just a bit. However, there was no such thing as being 'off duty' around Honoré.

Honoré's eyes sparkled as she spun to face Cloud. "Alright! Let's practice some moves, Cloud!" She did a cute pose, and Cloud mimicked her the best he could while still flapping his wings. She giggled, and he chirped happily. "Okay, now to really wow the judges and up the cuteness-- Cloud, use cotton guard!"

Taken for Granted [S][C/Honore]

.:sunshine on a cloudy day:.
Honoré blinked hard at the man as she tried to process what he said. Her brain was pingponging from sleep to the gym to Cinder to the mysterious-man-in-front-of-her, and she was having trouble keeping up. "Ah!" she exclaimed suddenly, "Cinder says thank you for the compliment!" Cinder stared at the newcomer, expressionless, while Honoré did enough emoting for the both of them. 

Her eyes grew wide as she noticed, unfortunately for the first time, that he was riding a Manectric. "Oh wow, what a beautiful Manectric!" she beamed. She took a step back to get a better look. "It's too bad the specialization went away- Manectric could be the electric poster pokemon for the gym!" She gazed at the Manectric fondly, imagining it posing in a dramatic promotion photo for the gym, before continuing. "Oh, you work for the gym? That's great, because I have a million quest--"

She stopped abruptly when doors swung open. Honoré squeaked with joy when she saw the large Sylveon, and she turned to admire the pokemon. She wanted ever so much to run to it and smush her face into its chest fur, but the warning look from Cinder kept her rooted. Bowing slightly, she excused herself while he spoke to the woman. Following Cinder's lead, she wandered a bit of a distance back to give them a little privacy.

She cupped her hand and whispered to her companion, "Wait, Cinder, did she say leader?" Honoré tilted her head, and Cinder looked at her but didn't reply.

Taken for Granted [S][C/Honore]

.:sunshine on a cloudy day:.
Honoré had been wandering Mauville City for a few hours after getting into town. Cinder, her Ninetales, had easily kept pace with her, but now Honoré was tiring and leaning on Cinder for support. She knew that she was going to have to find a place to stay, or else she’d be camping out on Route 111 for awhile. Having left her hometown of Lavaridge Town just the same day, she hadn't planned too far ahead. In fact, she hadn't really planned anything at all. She was just winging it.

A bit drowsy, Honoré had been walking with her eyes closed, relying on Cinder to be her support and her guide. Cinder loved how Honoré trusted her, and Honoré loved how she trusted Cinder, and the two walked like this for some time. 

Honoré's eyes snapped open when she had begun dozing off. Trying to rid them of their sleepy blurriness, she focused on the large building that was ahead of them. As its lines and signs came into clear view, Honoré realized what it was. Shoving off of Cinder, she rushed to the large building. Her pink ponytail bobbed as she jumped up and down excitedly. She screeched, “Oh, Cinder, look! This must be the Mauville City Gym!” She turned back to her Ninetales, her arms waving. It was as if she hadn't been asleep on her feet a moment before, and Cinder snorted in amusement. "I bet you there's so many cute pokemon in there! Mauville City Gym is electric-type, isn't it? Oh wow! I bet they're so strong, too!" 

Honoré didn't notice the man or his Manectric standing in front of the gym, even though they were practically side-by-side.

"Oh, no worries, it's no trouble at all," Honoré replied with a smile of her own. It was nice to have a little company in such an unfamiliar place, and being around people her own age wasn't something she had gotten to do often at home. 

Her smile dipped into a slight frown as she considered his words. From the look on his face, it seemed that his warning was out of concern and not to be mean, and Honoré decided to graciously take the advice. He definitely had a point- she didn't know him at all, and she probably should be a bit more careful in the future. But, of course, here they were having a nice chat without anything bad happening, so maybe she'd only adjust her habits a teensy bit? 

"Oh! Uh, yeah, you're probably right," she mused.  I guess I might have been a little too forward to invite you to sit; if my Ninetales Cinder was here, she probably would have nipped me," she admitted with a giggle. "Being hospitable is the right thing to be, even if it bites me in the butt later," she added with a shrug. "But! I saw how you were interacting with your Manectric, and I felt you'd be good company. I'm glad I asked you to sit." Her justification made sense to her, and she hoped he, too, would see it like she did. People who were kind to pokemon must be kind to people too, surely. She beamed at him from across the table, her smile genuine.

Not realizing he had been in work clothes until this point, her eyes widened. "Oh, you work here?! That explains why you look so tired! The food is soooooo good! I was going to offer you some of it, but if you work here, then I bet you can eat it all of the time," she giggled. She realized that she was still holding her fork in the air, and she set it down. As she bowed slightly in her seat, her bangs falling into her face, she said, "I'm Honoré Nara, and it is nice to meet you."

.:sunshine on a cloudy day:.
When Honoré arrived in Lilycove, she spent many minutes gawking at the size of the buildings and the amount of people bustling around. Cinder, her Ninetales, stayed close to her trainer's side. Neither had been in a city so large before, let alone beyond Lavaridge Town, and the sight was impressive.

As she pointed a finger in the air at a building to show Cinder, Honoré's stomach growled furiously. Cinder looked at her, and she giggled in embarrassment. "Oops, I guess I forgot to eat while we were travelling," she said. Cinder sniffed the air for a moment before she tugged at Honore's skirt. Obeying her pokemon, she followed her Ninetales to a restaurant. 

Ninetales sat next to the door, her tails wrapped elegantly around her front legs. She didn't like to go into buildings that weren't familiar to her, and they were both unsure of the proper city etiquette. "I won't be long, Cinder, and I promise I'll bring you something," she assured her. She petted Cinder's sleek fur and went inside.

The restaurant seemed busy, but Honoré was sat immediately. Stowing her travelling bag under the table, she ordered her food promptly, picking things that seemed filling and that would stretch her dollars. She was fully enjoying the food's wonderful flavor. It was easily the best thing she had ever eaten; the Elders in Lavaridge Town weren't exactly good cooks, but this food was excellent.

When a red-haired young man Honoré's age sat at her table, she froze, the fork halfway to her mouth. When he spoke to his Manectric, she couldn't help but smile at their relationship. As he was moving to get up, she interrupted, "Oh! um, please, won't you sit for a little bit? You seem tired-- you and your Manectric both." It didn't occur to her that she was inviting this random man to sit with her, nevermind that she hadn't introduced herself. Instead, she smiled at him pleasantly while waiting to see what he did.

.:sunshine on a cloudy day:.
When the wild Torchic popped out, Honoré let out a little squeak. "Here's our chance, Cinder," she exclaimed. She bent over at the waist, and said, "Hey, Torchic, do you need any help?"

The Torchic didn't answer, only blinked. Honoré noticed that he wasn't visibly in distress, and her rescue ranger enthusiasm dipped. She straightened up and pouted. "I guess Torchic doesn't need our help," she sighed to Cinder. "Maybe we should keep look--" The Ninetales nudged Honoré's arm and gestured to the Torchic. The chick pokemon pawed the earth and called out a friendly challenge. Honoré's heart fluttered, and the light of battle sparkled in her eyes.

"Okay, Torchic, let's do this! Cinder, get ready!" Cinder jumped in front of Honoré, a low rumble in her throat.

"Flamethrower!"

The Torchic dodged and somersaulted, then followed up with a Quick Attack. Unable to evade, Cinder was hit by the attack. "S-so sorry, Cinder!" Honoré fretted over her Pokemon and made to rush to her Ninetales, and the fox pokemon growled a warning. Knowing her partner, Honoré knew that Cinder was telling her that she was fine. Looking at her, Honoré could tell she was raring to go.

Assuaged, Honoré nodded. "Okay, Cinder, Fire Spin!" A field of fire engulfed the ground, circling the Torchic and trapping it. The Torchic, being a fire type, wasn't affected too much, but it was still ensnared. Torchic used Mirror Move, and produced its own Fire Spin. As the flames burst across the ground around Honoré's Ninetales, the pokemon absorbed them. "Nice use of your ability, Cinder!" Ninetales seemed to grin at her trainer's praise, and Honoré called the next move. "Extrasensory!"

The psychic-move hit the wild pokemon. Torchic stumbled, completely overcome by Cinder's move. It panted, and it looked like it was on the verge of fainting. Both Cinder and the Torchic seemed to be looking at Honoré expectantly. She blinked, confused. 

"Oh! Yeah! A pokeball now, right?" Honoré dug through her bag and extracted a pokeball. "You have a good fighting spirit, Torchic! I hope you'll be a part of our team!" she chimed. Honoré lobbed the pokeball at Torchic.

.:sunshine on a cloudy day:.
 Honoré hitched up her backpack. Basically everything she owned was in there, and it wasn’t much: a few changes of clothes, a small makeup & toiletry bag, Cinder and Cloud’s things, her wallet, trinkets from the elders, some pokéballs, and a bedroll. But that was okay— once she had a job in Mauville City and found a place to stay, she could have more than just the things she carried. But for now, she was content as she was.

She smiled to herself as she looked up into the sky, admiring the cloudless image and the pleasant breeze. She closed her eyes and the wind buffeted her bangs, teasing her gently. Her Ninetails, Cinder, trilled happily, and Honoré laid her hand in her mane. “It’s finally time, Cinder,” she said. “We’re leaving!”

Together, they stepped out of the town, jumped the ledges, and onto Route 112. Her first steps in life had been alongside Cinder, and now this chapter was, too. She felt elated to be on her own, but she was also very nervous. 

Honoré took a moment to take a deep breath and reassure herself by twirling a tuft of Cinder’s fur around her index finger, something she often did when she was nervous or unsure. “Let’s make this a little fun, okay, Cinder? We can see if there any Pokémon in distress! That way, we can practice being a rescue team.” Cinder grunted her approval, and the two wandered into the tall grass with the familiar Mt. Chimney towering above.
