“Sygna suit…” Nabi muttered under her breath. It was her first time laying eyes on one and seeing it in action. She mentally hit herself in the head, feeling incompetent for not being up-to-date with the know-alls and tools of modern society. "That-”Nabi gestured to the suit, ”is not the most flattering on your body, if I’m being honest.” She was never one to ignore a person’s fashion sense. Nabi wholeheartedly believed in practicality and fashion, and she could be critical. She motioned a hand swipe at her neck and shook her head. "Too cliché.” But incredibly impressive and useful. She needed to look into getting herself one of those.[break][break]

Out of the bushes, several pokemon, all small in size, skittered between the two trainers, their cries indicating their anxiety and fear. Nabi braced herself, expecting a large pokemon to be behind the chase. Instead, an equally small pair revealed themselves – a venipede and a kricketot. But instead of chasing after their victims, they zoned in their attention onto the humans before them now.[break][break]

The venipede wasted no time in making itself a threat. With its eyes peeled on Prince, it shot a slew of poisonous goo. Both Prince and Nabi veered back, just barely in time from the toxic burning their skin. "What the-!” Nabi hissed, piercing green eyes locked onto the venipede now. She grinned out of annoyance. "You little pest,” the pink-haired girl seethed. ”Prince, hit it with an air cutter!”[break][break]

The beautifly flapped its wings in excitement, ready to dole out action. He gained some height above the venipede before increasing the speed of his flaps and thrusting a series of wind slices toward the poisonous bug. The venipede was only able to scurry a foot or two before becoming engulfed by the critical attack. It flew onto its back and squirmed.[break][break]

"Stun spore!” Nabi then ordered. Prince quickly followed in with the paralyzing substance, effectively trapping the bug in spot. One, two, three – game over for this pesky venipede.[break][break]

Nabi produced an empty pokeball from her belt and tossed it toward the struggling venipede. It wiggled in place a few times before clicking with the familiar ding! She was sure this venipede could be put to some sort of use.[break][break]

Free of her battle, her head was now turned to observe the other trainer and her situation with the kricketot.

The man’s attitude tips Nabi off immediately, despite her growing anxiety. This guy is a jerk. She bit down on her bottom lip and practically shoved the sick and helpless Poppy into his chest. ”Doesn’t matter what I did,” she retorted, clearly peeved that he jumped to blaming her for her pokemon’s declining health. ”I didn’t do anything,” she added as confirmation, for him and for herself.[break][break]

The truth was that Poppy had ran ahead, excited and adventurous, straight into a group of gulpin in the middle of their dinner. When Nabi caught up, she was covered in purple ooze. She had cleaned most of it off of Poppy after getting them away from the gulpin. The purple stains on her clothes and hands were a testament to that, but that didn’t clear Poppy of the poison that remained inside. ”She’s important to me, so you better heal her, or I’ll kick your ass,” Nabi said, her breath now up to speed.[break][break]

Somewhere in the background, a jolly old man sang out "HO HO HO!"

Through the trees, Nabi caught sight of a greenish glow and followed quietly. An opening revealed itself, spacious but occupied. This was where the source of the noise was coming from. Nabi stood near a tree, hand balanced against wood, as she watched the peculiarities of the girl and her pokemon before her.[break][break]

"What in the world," Nabi muttered under her breath. Her shoulders relaxed, yet her eyebrows were knitted in confusion. Whatever it was that she had just witness, it wasn't normal, or maybe Nabi had lived to much of a secluded life in the constraints of her family's home in Mahogony. It was one of the reasons she had left in the first place, to experience the world on her own terms.[break][break]

Prince fluttered off of her shoulder and was the first to make his presence known. He flew closer to the group, confident that they were not a danger to him or his trainer. Nabi called to Prince and stepped into the forest opening.[break][break]

"Sorry, he must be curious," she spoke to announce herself, arm reaching out for her beautifly to return. "Come here, Prince." He did not return immediately, instead taking a moment to eye the strange woman in her pokemon-life suit. Once Prince was back by her side, she sighed and said, "What are you doing? How are you even able to... fly on it?" That part boggled her mind the most.

goootchaaaa o7 we can defs start simple with the meeting. nabi could begin as a "part-time" bodyguard, some sort of shennanigan can ensue, and we'll just take it from there and see how it goes :)[break][break]

This was a mistake, this was a mistake, that had to have been a mistake.[break][break]

That lady said ”he’s the best around here.” Head toward the lower district, pass the bright red stalls, look for the giant shellder sign, just a few more…[break][break]

The word “apothecary” reeled her in like a desperate madman at the other end of a pole. Without even giving warning or a proper greeting, Nabi’s mouth erupted words. "Please!” she screamed. "My cyndaquil!”[break][break]

In her arms lied a small, fireless mouse, cheeks hazy purple and breath raspy. The cyndaquil barley made a whimper.[break][break]

"You can save him, can’t you!” It wasn’t a question. She demanded of the green-haired gentleman to save her poor pokemon from its suffering.
