and lo there was a introduction

[convivencia]

[ On the edge of the Pleasant Forest biome, there's the typical sight of a trainer and her group of Pokémon clustered together and... having lunch? The creatures chowed their food down with gusto, and the girl herself chewed and gulped down a meal of berries, milk and crepes. While Haruka has no clue of how she actually ended up in this mysterious research facility, she had no particular qualms about exploring what was hidden behind its many, many doors. It wasn't like she had any pressing business to take care of back home, so she felt she could stand to be patient for a bit.

That could wait however, until after lunch. Her Pokémon weren't invincible and there was no reason to push them needlessly.

... Still.

Haruka would really like to know which region she was even in.

Because she's awfully certain that hallways in general aren't suppose to disobey the laws of time and space like that.


Pretty much everybody and their mother can feel free to stroll up to her. ]

[ For a moment, when Haruka hears that low growling and looks up at Red, her first thought is to wonder if that growling was from a Pokemon. Her second thought is to also wonder she's seen this boy on a TV somewhere.

Then her attention is diverted temporarily to the Vileplume cheerfully twirling and dancing in the sunlight of the forest. She watches the grass type in silence for a short while, fascinated before remembering the grumbles she had heard issuing from the boy's stomach. The trainer glances at him.

Quietly; ]

Hungry?

[strongsilent]

[!

He's been caught.]

Uh huh. Haven't eaten all morning. [Red motions to Plumer.] She's been wanting to explore.

[convivencia]

Help yourself if you'd like to!

[ She invites him cheerfully, trying to not chuckle at his expressions. Then Haruka looks at Plumer. ] The adventurous sort? Hah, it's best to have an adventure on a full stomach.

[strongsilent]

[Plumer stops dancing for one moment, just to wave, but then she's back at it. Her trainer's an eager beaver to sit down and help himself, too. There's not gonna be any food left for Haruka at this rate.]

Thank you. We won't take up a lot of your time. [Mmm this looks good. But wait! You should know names before you take someone's food.] ... I'm Red, and this is Plumer.

[convivencia]

[ She can always cook some more. Besides, she's already finished with her own meal. When Red sits down and tucks in, Haruka's willing to engage him in conversation. ]

'elcome. It's good to meet you. [ Red, she's definitively heard that name before... ? Nah, probably isn't important. She smiles, short and to the point. ] I'm Haruka.

[strongsilent]

You too. Where're you from?

[Because her Pokémon aren't familiar at all to him. Let him stuff his mouth too.]

[convivencia]

Hoenn. Moved there on my birthday.

[ She begins stacking up her used plates and napkins, littered with crumbs. ]

[strongsilent]

[Certainly not a place he's heard of before. Well, maybe once during one of Professor Oak's talks, but it's nothing he'd remember. Not important at the time.]

We're from Kanto. [Though if he's honest he's been thinking about checking out Johto. It's just on the other side of the mountain, after all.]

[convivencia]

[ Well, it's very difficult to live in Johto and not know of Kanto. It was just on the other side of the mountains. The soil was too dry for Berry growing though. ]

Kanto? We've never been there. It's nice and peaceful there, I've heard. [ She wipes the plates clean, opens the knapsack of holding and drops the plates into it. ]

[strongsilent]

[He nods. All things considered, it was.]

It is. Pallet Town especially. [A small smile.]

[convivencia]

Your hometown? [ Pallet Town, that is. ]

Hoenn's been through some rough turbulence recently [ Hahah, WEATHER PUNS ] but it's well on its way to peaceful times as well.

[strongsilent]

[Nod! Pallet Town's the best.]

That's good. What kind of region is Hoenn?

[convivencia]

[ Littleroot Town's nice too. ]

Full of diversity! [ She smiled and rambled slightly. ] We've got deserts where there's always this sandstorm blowing, rainy forests, uh... fields of ashes, miles of underground caverns and a volcano even. Really good, moist soil for growing Berries in as well.
