Racing off to whatever path her travels may take. Of course, she still had a few tutorials to deal with. But hopefully they wouldn’t cost too much time. She wanted to break away and make her mark on UNOVR! ”You hear that?” Tikani asked from Alicia’s shoulder. The pinkette paused in her tracks, closing her eyes. A soft humming sound was ringing through the air nearby. Opening her eyes again and looking around, she saw the source of the melody. Another young woman who was holding the melodic tune, slow and even. Average height with short and fluttering brown locks in a simple blouse and skirt combo. The biggest feature she had adorning her was the red jacket that hung loosely. And the earbuds piping a song Alicia didn’t immediately recognize directly into her mind. But as if feeling Alicia’s eyes on her, she snapped out of whatever ambiance she had been enjoying and looked over. ”Oh!” the girl chimed, pulling her earbuds out and storing them. ”I just had a feeling today would be a special day!” ”Why’s that?” Alicia asked, quirking an eyebrow. ”Well… you just got your starter, right?” the girl asked with a smirk as she looked at the Chikorita, holding out two Pokeballs of her own. Before Alicia could even respond, she tossed them out, revealing a Cyndaquil and… some kind of imp-like Pokemon? ”How about you and I have a little battle? To commemorate the meeting?” ”No.” Alicia immediately responded. The girl who was getting ready to approach and begin the battle suddenly tripped on her own feet, face planting on the ground. ”And if you’re going to insist, then I surrender.” ”Why!?” The girl, who Alicia realized at this point was supposed to be her Rival, cried out. Alicia sighed, face palming. This was going to feel very long, wasn’t it? ——————————————————————— SPOILER: Click to show {PARTY}Tikani (Chikorita) [3/1/1] SPOILER: Click to show {“ENEMY” PARTY}Cyndaquil [1/1/1] Impidimp [1/1/1]

Two… you also have a numbers* advantage on me and I haven’t had much chance to raise Tikani yet.” ”… You only have the one Pokemon?” the Rival girl asked as her Cyndaquil jumped into her lap and snuggled. ”I didn’t know…” ”That’s fine, but you get why I’m leery of battling carelessly right now. Right?” Alicia asked with a smile. Her Rival nodded in return, and then she cleared her throat. ”Besides, you haven’y even introduced yourself yet. My name’s Alicia. Alicia Westfield. And you are?” ”Ah! I’m sorry! My name’s Lucille.” the girl introduced herself at last, smiling. ”… I’mma just call you Lucy, that cool?” Alicia mused, getting a momentary sense of One Steve Limit. ”It’s Lucille though!” Lucy protested. ”Lucy does sound cute though, doesn’t it?” Alicia asked with a smirk. ”Mmmmmph! Fine, you’re Ali now then!” Lucy declared. She flashed a bit of a smirk, thinking she was going to get Alicia to acknowledge her full name. ”… Sure, it’s only fair.” Alicia replied, shrugging her shoulders. Which made her grin a bit as Lucy let out a soft wail and dramatically flopped backwards. She knew exactly what her Rival was going for, and decided to have some fun with it. ”Anyways, you’d win, but you’d win so overwhelmingly easily that it wouldn’t be satisfying. That’s no fun, right?” ”You’re not wrong…” Lucy answered as she got up, carrying Cyndaquil in her arms. Her Impidimp (Alicia finally got around to status-checking what she could of it) also climbed the brunette’s leg and popped onto her shoulder, giggling. ”Alright. I’ll wait for you to catch a second Pokemon. But don’t keep me waiting too long, you hear!?” Alicia smiled softly, nodding in agreement. ”Don’t worry. We’ll have a chance later.”** ——————————————————————— SPOILER: Click to show {PARTY}Tikani (Chikorita) [3/1/1] SPOILER: Click to show {“ENEMY” PARTY}Cyndaquil [1/1/1] Impidimp [1/1/1]

You were awfully engrossed in it.” ”Funny you ask.” Lucy began. ”I actually really enjoy the kind of music string instruments like the harp make. So I’ve been going around picking up everything I can regarding playing them. Trying to become at least a half-way decent musician. It’s a passion project of mine.” ”That’s… actually really impressive. I could never actually hold a tune. My mind’s too mechanically focused, not enough true art in it.” Alicia noted, smiling. ”And you’re going to travel with your Pokemon to find those things?” ”Something like that.” the brunette answered, smiling. ”What about you? What do you hope to do in your travels?” ”… Don’t laugh?” Alicia asked softly. Blinking in surprise, Lucy nodded and indicated for her to continue. ”I… have my eyes set on grandeur. On something legendary. I want to become something of a living legend. A hero, if you would.” Briefly, Lucy choked on her own breath. The brunette’s eyes went wide. ”… You think you can really get up there?” she asked in shock. ”Even if I fall short, I’ll have had an amazing life.” Alicia said, side-stepping the question a bit. ”So I’m going to dream as big as I can.” ”Well… I’ll wish you good luck then.” her Rival finished at last. ”Don’t forget me if you manage to hit the stars, alright?” ”I won’t. Anyways, are you gonna stick around here for a bit? Or should I meet you elsewhere?” Alicia tilted her head at that. After all, Lucy was an NPC. She couldn’t say ‘Hey let me add you to my friend list and message you when I’m ready.’ ”If you’re going to look for me here, I’ll stick around. Just listen for the hum!” Lucy finished. Nodding in confirmation, Alicia waved and went on her way. There was other things she needed to do, but she’d get to those when she got to them. ——————————————————————— SPOILER: Click to show {PARTY}Tikani (Chikorita) [3/1/1] SPOILER: Click to show {“ENEMY” PARTY}Cyndaquil [1/1/1] Impidimp [1/1/1]

First was the rush she’d gone through to get to the ill-fated Christmas event. After that, she’d just gone through the motions of the catching tutorial, but didn’t actually claim the Pokemon offered to her by the Spawn. She was going to try and be picky about her captures. They were expensive and, more importantly, Box Space was ultimately limited. Every slot mattered. But she finally had a second Pokemon, and so she came back around. Listening closely for the hum she was told to be mindful of. And soon enough she would hear the slow and even tones once more. This time however, the hummed notes were accompanied by the soft strumming of strings. Which had made Alicia quirk an eyebrow in interest. Following the melody, she smiled as she came across her brown-haired rival. Apparently Lucy had come into the possession of a moderately sized lyre and was practicing. Her eyes were closed once more as she drifted on the tones she was making. Unwilling to disturb her, Alicia pulled up a spare barrel and took a seat. Waiting and listening to the wordless song. Appreciating the talent that was being nurtured. About thirty minutes later, Lucy opened her eyes. And then let out a startled yelp as she noticed Alicia there. ”H-How long have you been there!?” ”Long enough to enjoy myself.” Alicia replied with a grin. ”You know why I’m back here though.” ”Oh, you have a second Pokemon at last?” Lucy asked with a grin. ”Yeah. But I think I went overboard. I’m sorry ahead of time.” Alicia replied. The two girls then stepped out into a clearing. Lucy’s Cyndaquil and Impidimp readied themselves again. And Alicia released her own Pokemon back out into the field. ”Ready, Alicia!” Tikani chimed. ”This really what you want me for, Boss?” Giyun asked, rolling his shoulders and cracking his neck a bit. The sight of the monolith dragon made Lucy gasp in shock. ”H-Hold on! How did you-… That’s a Duraludon!” the brunette exclaimed in disbelief. ”Saw a… friend? Who was about to get ambushed. I raced in with Tikani and kept him busy long enough for him to get his bearings so we could take him down together. Then I was able to add him to my team.” Alicia explained easily, smiling. ”If you want to take a rain check because of this, though-“ ”No, no… I just kind of have to… Well I think I have to start taking your hero claim seriously if this is how you start things. Ready when you are.” Lucy answered back, bracing herself for a suddenly very difficult fight. ”Right then. Three… Two… One!” Alicia counted, before giving a clap of her hands and issuing orders. ”Tikani! Poison Powder! Giyun, Metal Claw!” ”Cyndaquil, Flame Wheel! Impidimp, Swagger!” Lucy called in return. The chaos erupted immediately. The fire mouse’s back flame quills erupted as he rushed at Tikani. The Chikorita whipped her leaf around, spraying toxic spores from it as she did. Her angle meant she immediately poisoned the Cyndaquil, but instantly took a painful burn for her troubles. The Impidimp, meanwhile, let out a series of dark chuckles as he reached a hand out. Waving in a “come at me” gesture, he used his other hand to draw his thumb over his throat. ”Why you-! Get back here!” Giyun bellowed as he charged, heedless of the moves of the little imp. He was led on a wild goose chase until the Impidimp led him around and tricked him into clawing Tikani instead. ”Ow! Watch where you’re- and he’s not listening.” Tikani grumbled out as the monolith completely disregarded her to continue chasing Lucy’s fairy down for his audacity. ”How is your Chikorita still standing after that…!?” Lucy gasped out, having expected the confused Duraludon’s attack to take the grass dinosaur out after the Flame Wheel. ”I train ‘em strong.” Alicia offered with a shrug and a smile. ——————————————————————— SPOILER: Click to show {PARTY}Tikani (Chikorita) [3/1/1] Condition: Fair/BURNED Giyun (Duraludon)[3/1/1] Condition: Perfect/CONFUSED SPOILER: Click to show {“ENEMY” PARTY}Cyndaquil [1/1/1] Condition: Good/POISONED Impidimp [1/1/1]

That’s all you’re giving me on how you did it?” Lucy asked in disbelief, palming her face. ”Alright, fine, Cyndaquil, Ember! Impidimp, Assurance!” ”Tikani, Magical Leaf!” Alicia retorted, leaving Giyun to figure things out on his own. Confused as he was by the Impidimp’s Swagger, he wouldn’t be able to accurately follow orders anyways. Nothing to do except hope he snapped out of it soon. What helped matters, though, was that Lucy was now focusing her efforts on whittling down the Duraludon. Cinders flew as the Cyndaquil breathed sharply, scorching the steel dragon’s carapace. Fortunately, his typing canceled out Steel’s weakness to Fire attacks, so it only singed rather than dealing significant damage. The Assurance too largely slid off as the Impidimp tried to hammer the much larger Pokemon. Valiant efforts certainly, but Giyun, even so early in his tenure, was showing his stability and endurance. Tikani took that chance to fling her shimmering leaves, guiding them to try and cut the Impidimp off from any further shenanigans and scoring a number of shallow cuts as she did. ”Come ON Giyun, wake up already!” The Duraludon however was still seeing red, racing at the prankster that infuriated him so. This time, with Tikani’s leaves distracting him, the Duraludon reached and dealt a devastating Rock Smash. The imp’s fairy typing canceled out his dark type’s Fighting weakness at least, but the overwhelming strength still sent Lucy’s prankster flying back. Lucy meanwhile bit her lip in concern. ”That Duraludon’s power is ridiculous… Definitely going to have to look out for it in the future...” the brunette muttered out. She was feeling just a bit helpless at the moment, entirely at the mercy of whether Giyun struck friend or foe. Defeating him straight up, she felt, wasn’t going to be in the cards today. ”You’re definitely making a strong case for yourself, Ali...” ——————————————————————— SPOILER: Click to show {PARTY}Tikani (Chikorita) [3/1/1] Condition: Fair/BURNED Giyun (Duraludon) [3/1/1] Condition: Good/CONFUSED SPOILER: Click to show {“ENEMY” PARTY}Cyndaquil [1/1/1] Condition: Good/POISONED Impidimp [1/1/1] Condition: Fair

With the suns rays decently strong overhead, the Chikorita was able to recover a fair amount of her vitality with Synthesis. And that was when Lucy realized that she was in serious trouble now. The Duraludon could tank hits like a champ. The Chikorita was able to recover and buy time. And that confusion was not going to last much longer! ”Bloomin’ pest!” And speak of the devil, the dragon got his head on straight again. And if she didn’t keep the pressure up on Tikani, another Poison Powder was going to end her team. But if she focused on the Chikorita, the Duraludon was going to run rampant! ”Hey… Hate to be the negative Nelly but can we live and let live?” Lucy asked, recalling her Pokemon before the Duraludon could receive further commands. ”I was expecting you to come back with like a Patrat or something.” ”That’s fair, you let me off the hook last time.” Alicia replied, smiling. ”I’d be a real witch with a ‘b’ if I said ‘no we’re fighting this out’.” ”Thanks…” Lucy breathed out in relief as the pinkette recalled her own team so they could get healed up. ”I… I have no idea if there was anything I could do there. Sure I could’ve had Impidimp Flatter your Duraludon instead but… that’d only delay the inevitable.” Alicia winced at that, grimacing. ”I’m sorry…” ”No, no! Don’t be!” the brunette exclaimed, waving her hands. ”You’re going to go so far, Alicia, I can tell! So don’t let little ol’ me strap you down needlessly! And I’ll catch up to you somehow! It just… might take me a hot minute…” The pinkette giggled at her rival’s words, holding a hand out to her. ”Come on, let’s go get our friends healed up.” Lucy nodded at that, taking Alicia’s hand, and the two left their brief battleground behind. To new horizons, and new plateaus. ——————————————————————— SPOILER: Click to show {PARTY}Tikani (Chikorita) [3/1/1] Condition: Good/BURNED Giyun (Duraludon)[3/1/1] Condition: Good SPOILER: Click to show {“ENEMY” PARTY}Cyndaquil [1/1/1] Condition: Good/POISONED Impidimp [1/1/1] Condition: Fair Rival Yields.
