ʚㅤ★ㅤɞㅤ˗ˏˋㅤ𝑰𝒕 𝒎𝒊𝒈𝒉𝒕 𝒉𝒂𝒗𝒆 𝒃𝒆𝒆𝒏 𝒂 𝒔𝒊𝒍𝒍𝒚 𝒒𝒖𝒆𝒔𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝒕𝒐 𝒂𝒔𝒌ㅤ—ㅤespecially coming from a CHAMPION - RANKED trainer like herself. But maybe it wouldn't have hurt ! Besides, of all of Paldea's Elite Four, Rika and La Primera were the most intimidatingㅤ—ㅤeven if she's fought them both more than once.

ʚㅤ★ㅤɞㅤ˗ˏˋㅤㅤ—ㅤActually, the more she thought about it, maybe she should have been asking this to the guy that was literally her ART TEACHER.

ʚㅤ★ㅤɞㅤ˗ˏˋㅤ❛ㅤㅤ—ㅤHow am I going to do this assignment NOW ?ㅤ❜

ʚㅤ★ㅤɞㅤ˗ˏˋㅤToo bad there wasn't a convenient Titan Pokemon to just break the rocks down. Then again, the last ( several ) times she dealt with those beasts, they caused MORE problems than anything else.

ʚㅤ★ㅤɞㅤ˗ˏˋㅤIt came to two people both touching that sacred, plastic GAME CASE at the same time.

ʚㅤ★ㅤɞㅤ˗ˏˋㅤPanic overtakes her as she quickly draws her own away; allowing the older woman a chance to take the game for herself. She doesn't fight it however. In fact, she actually APOLOGIZES.

ʚㅤ★ㅤɞㅤ˗ˏˋㅤ❛ㅤOh, I'm sorry ! I didn't know you WANTED this !ㅤ❜

ʚㅤ★ㅤɞㅤ˗ˏˋㅤMaybe she didn't HAVE to play on release day.

ʚㅤ★ㅤɞㅤ˗ˏˋㅤ𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝒈𝒊𝒓𝒍 𝒂𝒔𝒌𝒔; obviously impressed by the large reptilian Pokemon. Such creatures were NOT native to Paldea after allㅤ—ㅤnot unless they decided to show up in the odd Tera raid or so.

ʚㅤ★ㅤɞㅤ˗ˏˋㅤ𝑰𝒕 𝒘𝒂𝒔 𝒂 𝒗𝒂𝒍𝒊𝒅 𝒒𝒖𝒆𝒔𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏 and one of the first things she had wondered when she had came across this girl to warn her of the dangers of Fury Falls. She definitely seemed like kind of a newbie at the Academy. Either that or there were so many students that she somehow HADN'T come across the girl in any of her loops or her time afterwards.

ʚㅤ★ㅤɞㅤ˗ˏˋㅤ❛ㅤWHERE are you from ?ㅤ❜

˗ˏˋㅤʚㅤ★ㅤɞㅤ‿︵ㅤ˗ˏˋㅤ𝑰𝒇 𝑻𝒂𝒈𝒕𝒓𝒆𝒆 𝑻𝒉𝒊𝒄𝒌𝒆𝒕 𝒕𝒂𝒖𝒈𝒉𝒕 𝒉𝒆𝒓 𝒂𝒏𝒚𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒈, it was that dark and creepy forests were NO JOKE. Sure, Pokemon could jump out at you anywhere in Paldeaㅤ—ㅤbut it was definitely one of the more intimidating areas in the region before she got used to it. There was nothing QUITE like a Spidops attacking you in the middle of the night.

ʚㅤ★ㅤɞㅤ˗ˏˋㅤTHIS dark and creepy forest was not one she was familiar with though. The girl was clearly on guard; azure hues darting left and right as she hoped to find SOME sort of clearing. But even if the woods seemed empty, she had the feeling she was being WATCHED.

For those willing to put up with their weaknesses thoughㅤ—ㅤthey would be rewarded with something FAR more terrifying. Something that was definitely capable of causing more DESTRUCTION than most other water Pokémon. Not to mention, there were other large water Pokémon to be worried about.

ʚㅤ★ㅤɞㅤ˗ˏˋㅤNormally, she wouldn't BE nervous about water Pokémon butㅤ—ㅤshe was on a SHIP out in the middle of a vast ocean.

˗ˏˋㅤʚㅤ★ㅤɞㅤ‿︵ㅤ˗ˏˋㅤ❛ㅤI heard there's this URBAN LEGEND about some poor trainers that were on a cruiseㅤ—ㅤbut one of them got upset at their Magikarp and it evolved into a Gyarados to take revenge on its trainer. I THINK they survived but I'm not sure if I want to go through that !ㅤ❜

˗ˏˋㅤʚㅤ★ㅤɞㅤ‿︵ㅤ˗ˏˋㅤ𝑨𝒏𝒅 𝒎𝒂𝒚𝒃𝒆 𝒊𝒕 𝒘𝒂𝒔 𝒑𝒓𝒐𝒃𝒂𝒃𝒍𝒚 𝒏𝒐𝒕 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒃𝒆𝒔𝒕 𝒊𝒅𝒆𝒂 for the girl to readily accept an entire ADULT as a traveling companion. But maybe even after all of those time loops she had went through; she was still a bit NAIVE. She had the fortune of never coming across a truly EVIL and TERRIBLE person; save for some of her old academy bullies. Even old Professor Turo wasn't THAT bad in the endㅤ—ㅤhe just had some really weird ideals ( still didn't excuse the way he treated his son and her friend though ).

ʚㅤ★ㅤɞㅤ˗ˏˋㅤBesides, the man seemed NICE ! Maybe a bit eccentric and dressed kind of weird butㅤ—ㅤshe couldn't say much when most of Paldea's gym leaders had their OWN quirks and oddities she's long since grown accustomed to. Not to mention, she's gotten used to wearing a school uniform everywhere.

ʚㅤ★ㅤɞㅤ˗ˏˋㅤ❛ㅤYeah, you can ! It would be great to have a BUDDY ! One of my friends would usually go with me but I think she's busy with champion stuff.ㅤ❜

ʚㅤ★ㅤɞㅤ˗ˏˋㅤThe girl was just about to motion for the man before stopping. Maybe HE had some ideas ! She had her favorite spots in the woods but maybe he did too !

ʚㅤ★ㅤɞㅤ˗ˏˋㅤ❛ㅤYou got any FAVORITE places ?ㅤ❜

˗ˏˋㅤʚㅤ★ㅤɞㅤ‿︵ㅤ˗ˏˋㅤ❛ㅤPeople who hurt Pokémon should answer for their crimes one way or another. I don't think I've ever heard or met anyone like that in Paldeaㅤ—ㅤbut I'd do everything in my power to STOP THEM too. ㅤ❜

ʚㅤ★ㅤɞㅤ˗ˏˋㅤ𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝒘𝒐𝒓𝒔𝒆 𝒔𝒉𝒆'𝒔 𝒉𝒂𝒅 𝒕𝒐 𝒅𝒆𝒂𝒍 𝒘𝒊𝒕𝒉 𝒘𝒆𝒓𝒆 𝒎𝒂𝒅 𝒑𝒓𝒐𝒇𝒆𝒔𝒔𝒐𝒓𝒔 that were willing to fill the world with dangerous Pokémon; not quite the same thing as what the older boy was describing. Still, she knew the feeling far too well; being just one kid with POWERFUL Pokémon but still powerless to stop everything. Sometimes, she had to think tooㅤ—ㅤwhat if she had never become an Area Zero researcher ? Would Professor Turo's research never have gone as far as it did ? Or would Paldea been ruined long before this encounter with the other ?

ʚㅤ★ㅤɞㅤ˗ˏˋㅤStill, it kind of looked like the other wanted to stop talking about it. The serious look on her faces leaves; replacing itself with a small SMILE.

ʚㅤ★ㅤɞㅤ˗ˏˋㅤ❛ㅤThat's okay ! My name is CELESTE ! It's nice to meet you too ! ㅤ❜
