You wouldn't think that it wouldn't have take Odile this long to figure out how to actually have her Pokemon out. They make it look a bit easier in the anime, but hey! She did it! Her little Froakie, affectionately named Mercurio, hopping along side her. Oh this was so sick! This was just like in the games! Actually walking with her Pokemon. Real trainer hours. She had made it. Even if she just did this forever, Odile heavily doubted that she wouldn't be this giddy over it. 

Mercurio didn't seem to have that same energy, but he kept looking back at her, curiously. That was good, right? "So we're going to see... your Mom, right?" He asked, and Odile nodded, red ponytail bouncing. "Yeah, we are! The goal anyway. We're not too too far from it little buddy. She'll be pretty nice I think." There wasn't a Pokemon game she could remember that the player's Mom was mean or anything. All sweet ladies. Which made this all the more... weird, when Odile thought of her own mother. Not really like that all, if she would be honest. But she had to remember that Claudia, and Odile, could be two different people. Over here, she could have a more caring mother. 

Just right around this corner and—oh, they were not alone. 

"Oh hi there!" Odile waved, flashing a bright smile. Another player! Sick! And oh my god is that a Cyndaquil—immediately the redhead leaned down, marveling at the sight of the little guy. Little fella. Absolutely incredible and adorable. This was the best game she had ever played hands down. "Oh my goodness just look at him... hi little guy, nice to meet you! Both of you!"

Mercurio kept by her leg, moving up slowly towards the other Pokemon, waving a small hand like his trainer. "Name's Odile! Are you here for the tutorial too? Your Cyndaquil is really cute by the way, I can't get over him..."
