Head in the Seas

[Kenichi Takeshi]

"Wow, never been to Olivine, this place is bustling... mom said it was a city full of ships and the like, so maybe its some strong trainers here..." Stepping through the crowds of people yapping and talking with a frown on his face, the lone boy and his Mankey stand with an awe filled expression towards the people, businesses and such. He didn't like all the noise, of which he came from Cianwood City with his "partner". "Amazing how do you think these people know where they are going?"

A shrug came from the Mankey's confused face as he leaped to the shoulder of his friend and master, Kenichi. "Mom said if I want to get stronger I have to travel and beat trainers and such, that is important if I want to surpass Chuck-senpai, and you want to surpass Primape..." The Mankey nodded with a sigh, and glinted, both of them watching each other. "I guess this is the first step, he said we needed to gain more experience, and if I want to be part of the Gym Leaders Association, I gotta surpass him, and then maybe I can be like Bruno!" His eyes were now starry, the Mankey a bit embarrassed by his master.

"Uh, hey Sarumaru... Which way do we go?" He said watching his PokeGear. "H-how the hell do you work this thing?!" He bit the device growling as he looked at it from left and right. "Mom never thought me how to use it." The Mankey punched him in the head, as he grabbed the device pointing to it frantically. "She did?" Kenichi said in a questioning gesture, his hand on the back of his head. "Well this is also a big city and port, Sarumaru, and it's easy as heck to get lost so there!" The monkey-like pokemon began to beat Kenichi up for his stupidity and as they tussled, they both fought with screaming voices.

As they both walked onward, with black eyes, and bruised bodies, Kenichi sighed. "OK, OK.... maybe I can ask someone where to go to get to Violet City, to beat the bird master there..." Starting to look around towards people, he began to ask them, most of them being mean towards him and pushing him away, because of his nature of being rude. Sarumaru was getting angry once more towards Kenichi. "Hey, hey, hey... it isn't my fault I can't find someone to tell me where to go." He blinked twice and sighed.

They continued there search around the city, looking for answers to the questions they had, and looking to one person in particular, he ran towards someone on a bench close by and grinned. "Hey, do you know where the Violet City path is?" Kenichi said with a grin, Sarumaru watching from behind him.

[+ GEORGINA]

Georgina felt her blond hair being pushed behind her by a gentle breeze as she began to stroll about in Olivine City. She heard that this city was well known for its lighthouse and the pokemon that provides that light, Ampharos. By her side was her pokemon Stantler who held the same dull gaze in its eyes like its trainer. The two had recently spent quite a while out in the wilderness not far from Olivine, and when Georgina had seen her appearance in a window she was passing by she instantly headed for a nearby pokemon center to fix herself up in the bathroom. Usually she never cared what she looked like but she was beginning to draw attention to herself when strangers gave her weird looks and stares. She hated those looks. At least she wasn't just lying around relaxing and wasting time like those same people who had earlier stared at her! Her hair was now radiant in the sunlight, put into neat twin tails tied to her head by some nice ribbons. It felt a warm today so Georgina wanted to feel the wind caress her neck instead having heat build up when most of hair was blocking the gale breath.

What was she doing here exactly? That question had popped in her head recently. She never actually stayed in towns or cities that long unless it was dangerous to go in the wild due to bad weather or something related that. There was really not much she could do in a town seeing as her goal wasn't to collect gym badges. Still, she enjoyed the glorious feeling of adventure and exploring. Georgina never got tired of the thrill and suspense of danger, the strong scent of tree bark & humidity in a rain forest after rainfall, the feeling of soft grass or earth underneath her body as she slept soundly, and the amazing face of nature before her very eyes. Right now wasn't really the face of nature her eyes rested upon now, more like the face of civilization or community or something. It was impressive though, not all that bad.

Georgina decided to take stop for a moment to absorb the images that surrounded her. It would be foolish of her not to train her eyes to memorize every single area of the city. It was pretty big and getting lost was the last thing she needed to happen in her life ever. Her keen eyes had slowly gazed at the ground and at the buildings that would seem easy to pick out or point to as landmarks. Stantler had kept its body straight up properly in position after his master, it had never once argued with Georgina nor did he question her actions. The seventeen year old girl pretty much had her area all nailed down to her head until a boy had come to ask a question. For the first few seconds Georgina hadn't replied since no one really had said her name; she thought the boy was addressing to someone else until Stantler snapped her out of her focus with a low 'bark'. "Huh?" She turned around to face the young man and his pokemon. "Oh sorry I didn't know you were referring to me. However I have to disappoint you with the fact that I don't know how to get to where you need to go." She had never been to this Violet town or city that this child spoke of. It wasn't that long ago when she first came to Johto anyway. She had grown up most of her life in the wasteland region of Orre. The climate & lands here were a lot less extreme so it was sort of hard to get used to the fast environment change.
