Bonjour! This is where my thoughts and actions will be displayed once our adventure has officially begun. I’ll be able to interact with my two best friends and my five favorite pokemon. I should probably stop rambling now so that I can get back to training, but I’m going to stick around for a while longer so that I can keep an eye on Hoshiko and make sure she’s not any competitions. ‘Cause if she is, then I’m going to have to jump in and do something about it. She can’t escape my determination. She won’t be me…well, she’s already beaten me on several occasions. So, I guess I should say, “She won’t beat me, again.” Okay, well, I’ve got to get back to training now. I don’t want to fall behind Hoshiko. Au revoir!

✖ - - - - Looks aren't everything, but...

[ ____ What do I look like, you ask? ]
When I look in the mirror I see a rather handsome fellow wearing a french styled hat. The hat represents his heritage and he wears it to forever remind him of the struggles of his ancestors. The reflection stares back at me with irresistible ocean blue eyes. The hair upon his head is silky black that sometimes looks blue when the light hits it just right. The figure in the reflection wears a white scarf, but only when it's cold, and a red scarf, when it's warm. His physique isn't all that impressive with his boyish figure and slender limbs, although his stature is quite the spectacle. He has pale skin with a rosy tint that looks like it would burn easy with long periods of exposure to the sun.

Route Descriptions

Route 1 – Mainly for beginning trainers, route one lays just outside of Casa town. The lush green fields that follow the dirt path are surrounded by the region’s mountain range.

Route 2 – Similar to route one, route two follows along the base of the Apennine Mountain Range. With its lush green fields and sparse tree line, the breeze from over the mountains leads you to Il Canne Town.

Route 3 – Route three leads you into the Hillside Forest from the Western side of Il Canne Town. As you approach the forest, the tree line along the path begins to thicken. So, beware if you’re squeamish of bug types, it might be more than you can handle.

Route 4 – Route four takes you directly through the Hillside Forest. The forest offers a wide variety of experiences for the beginning trainer as well as a sturdy palette of pokemon to be caught.

Route 5 – Route five will take you to peace and relaxation, or that’s where it’s supposed to lead you. There’s a popular vacation spot with miles of beaches at the end of this seaside route and you can smell the relaxing ocean breeze as it blows across the peninsula’s long grass fields.

Route 6 – Route six by-passes the peninsula all together and follows along the shoreline for a bit. The western side of the route provides a lovely ocean view from the cliff just off of the trail.

Route 7 – Route seven can be shocking to the beginning trainer, providing a home for a variety of electric type pokemon. This route follows closer to the base of the mountains rather than the shoreline, but you can still smell the ocean air.

Route 8 – There’s not much to route eight, being one of the shortest routes. It serves as a pathway between Il Canne Town and the southern Oscuro Tunnel.

Oscuro Tunnel ((South)) – A dark cavern filled with Zubat and other lower level pokemon provides a way to travel between Il Canne and Bellezza City. I bid caution to beginning trainers because things aren’t always what they appear.

Route 9 – Joining route eight as one of the shortest of the routes leads you away from the southern Oscuro Tunnel towards Bellezza City. The grassy fields and seaside cliffs along this route are a refreshing sight for those leaving the tunnel.

Route 10 – The sparse tree line on the northern side of the trail and the shoreline on the southern side makes you feel uneasy or unbalanced. Although peaceful, the route harbors some uneasy species of pokemon.

Route 11 – Route eleven presents a challenge to traveling trainers with a fork on the Eastern end. You can choose to go east towards Batello Port or north onto route twelve. Which will you choose?

Route 12 – Route twelve takes you inland and away from the ocean breeze. Large green fields over rolling hills refresh you and seem to go on and on.

Route 13 – You might catch a whiff of something fowl on route thirteen. The Grimer and Koffing that populate the edge of eastern Eleganza City are somewhat of a turn-off and you might want to travel quickly along the trail.

Route 14 – Route fourteen provides a way out of the dense forest leading you to the small town of Rompi. The pokemon among these fields are stronger than previous routes so be on your guard.

Route 15 – Route fifteen takes you through the majority of the dense Fondo Forest. There’s almost a feeling of claustrophobia as you maneuver the trails and try to avoid the many bug types that populate its branches and underbrush.

Route 16 – As you near the edge of Fondo Forest the bug pokemon and the trees become sparse making the claustrophobic feeling disipate and the mood lighten. Route sixteen also gives many opportunities to fish for pokemon you wouldn’t catch otherwise.

Route 17 – Route seventeen lies between Batello Port and Isola City. The ferry travels along this route and allows you to get a sense of what it’s like to be out on the ocean.

Route 18 – This rocky route leads out of the northern end of Rompi Town and is home to a few different hill side inhabiting pokemon species. Route eighteen trails along steep cliffs and rocky ledges so don’t rush, you might hurt yourself.

Route 19 – As you move onto route nineteen the terrain gets more treacherous as it follows the base of the mountains to the northern Oscuro Tunnel. The paths that wind along the mountain are accompanied by steep drop-offs and grassy patches.

Oscuro Tunnel ((North)) – Much like the southern Oscuro Tunnel, the Northern Oscuro tunnel is a dark passageway through the lower parts of the Apennine Mountains. The pokemon that inhabit this tunnel are much stronger, but you still need to keep an eye out for Geodudes and other pokemon who blend in.

Route 20 – Route twenty, although still rocky and unpredictable, has more grass and trees then the eastern side of the tunnel. The danger of falling off the side of a cliff is no more as the path winds down into a valley.

Route 21 – Route twenty-one takes you towards Tropicale Port on the northern coastline of Tohoku. The tree line along the trail is sparse and the high grass is abundant hiding some pretty rare pokemon.

Route 22 – Route twenty-two branches off of route twenty to the west and leads you to the northern side of Passi City. This means that the surrounding area becomes more steep as you get closer to Passi.

Route 23 – Route twenty-three serves as a pathway between Passi City and Oscurita Pass. The area is rocky and steep, but that’s not all you need to keep an eye out for. There’s said to have been Absol sightings in the area and it’s also said that it means there will be a disaster coming your way.

Oscurita Pass – Oscurita Pass is the longest mountain path in Tohoku. It’s filled with steep cliffs, grassy plateaus, and deep, dark caverns.

Apennine Mountain Pass – Apennine Mountain Pass branches off of Oscurita Pass somewhere halfway up the mountain range. Make sure that you put on your winter attire because the pass goes straight to the freezing and frosty top.

Route 24 – Route twenty-four is your escape from Oscurita Pass on the western side of the mountains, although it is still a bit rocky. Absol have been spotted on this side of the mountain as well, so keep your eyes peeled.

Route 25 – Route twenty-five takes you through wide open plains from the western side of Rilassi Town, but it only takes you halfway through.

Route 26 – Route twenty-six takes you the rest of the way across the plains. The wind blows towards the center of the plains as if beckoning you to stay within the grassy expanse of land.

Route 27 – Once you reach route twenty-seven at the northern edge of the plains, you feel like a burdens been lifted, for the winds have finally ceased their calling. Amongst the trees and giant boulders are unusual and rarely seen pokemon.

Route 28 – Route twenty-eight is by far the shortest of all the routes in Tohoku. It takes you to the eastern entrance of Drago Pass from Quasi City and is surrounded by thick underbrush.

Drago Pass – Looking for a rare and powerful pokemon to complete your team, then Drago Pass is where you should be. This mysterious cave lies on the Western edge of the region’s mountain range between Drago City and Quasi City.

Route 29 – Route twenty-nine is full of rare pokemon indeed. The kind of pokemon you can only get from the region’s professor. The sparse grassy plateaus and low, rocky ledges help hide these rarities.

Route 30 – Route thirty is one of the longest routes in Tohoku, but that’s because it stretches across the oceans off the region’s northern coastline. The calm ocean waves carry you half way to victory road.

Route 31 – Route thirty-one provides a straight shot from route thirty to route thirty three and that much closer to Victory Road, plus, being farther out into the ocean makes for a smoother ride.

Route 32 – Route thirty-two connects Tropicale Port to the ocean routes thirty-one and thirty-three. The water rises and falls constantly here because of how close it is to the mainland. It’s also a good place to take a break from your journey and swim.

Route 33 – Wide open ocean, a view of the coastline, and a direct landing at Victory Road make route thirty-three one of anticipation and thrills. You can sit back, relax, and enjoy the view, or you can torture yourself with thoughts of finally arriving at Victory Road.

Route 34 – Route thirty-four is your pathway to the Pokemon League. After taking yet another ferry across a shallow canal you will have arrived at the final destination on your journey surrounded by beautiful forests and wide open spaces.

Route 35 – Why you would need to take route thirty-five at all is beyond me, but this beautiful trail doesn’t lead to such a beautiful destination. Although, for the rare pokemon that populate this area, the ominous organization in the distance could be put up with.

Route 36 – Route thirty-six is known for it’s quiet and difficult to find pathways. Whoever is at the end of this route obviously doesn’t want anyone to find them.

⊱----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------⊰

Friendship, a very delicate and precious relationship between you and another person. It amazes me how fragile it can actually be, broken by even the mere mention of a touchy topic or by the telling of a valuable and dirty secret to an outside party who really doesn’t need to know. I feel that as of late my relationship with Hoshi has been on edge and it may very well be my own fault, but I don’t know what to do about it. Besides, it’s not my fault she didn’t agree with my opinion. Of course we should go straight to the gym, why else would we have skipped going to Isola City? Getting my gym badge would be a pretty nice perk, but I really wanted to enter Sage into those famous water races I keep hearing about. Hoshi had to go and burst my bubble though, which isn’t going to fly on my watch.

Thoughts of anger and grumblings ran through Emile’s mind as he slipped his heavy, white pack over his shoulder. He had yet to find the time to organize his things and actually get rid of some of the items he’d been carrying since the beginning of their journey. Who knew what was hidden away in the bottom of his backpack? It was a task that would surely take his mind off of his recent argument with Hoshi, who, had yet to say a word to him. Of course, he wouldn’t say anything to her either, because it wasn’t his fault, or, that’s what he thought anyway.

Emile looked around the camp making sure that he hadn’t forgotten anything and realized that his hat was still on the ground next to the pile of wood they’d used for warmth the previous night. How could he have forgotten to put his hat on? The hat looked unscathed, which was a big relief since the hat was his most prized possession. How it ended up by the fire he wasn’t sure, but he had a pretty good idea. He looked up from the where the hat lay and glared at Hoshi for a few seconds before walking over and picking the hat up off the ground. “It amazes me how incompetent you are sometimes.” He grumbled under his breath so that she could tell he’d said something, but not actually be able to understand him.

The hat Emile held in his hands was covered in ashes and dirt. It was probably the dirtiest the hat had ever been since he took care of the thing like it was his child or something. He casually brushed the dust off in Hoshi’s direction and then placed the hat on his head pretending as if nothing had happened. The red beret fit him and his personality extremely well. It seemed to enhance his smugness.

The sun was already beginning to find its place in the sky as Emile rhythmically walked away from the group’s campsite. He didn’t care much that Amaya was also with them. She could hang out with Hoshi for all he cared. So, with the thought of his female companions pushed to the back of his mind he turned his thoughts to Ryoichi. His friend had tried to amend the tense and aggressive situation that had quickly developed between him and Hoshi. He didn’t want to have to listen to Ryo’s passive and sensible advice today so he hadn’t bothered speaking with Ryo that morning either. He felt like being alone, more or less, mainly because he needed to take a breath and calm down before he interacted with his friends again. His competitive streak gave him a thrill, but if his mind was clouded by anger then anything Hoshi had to say in return would only push him over the edge.

The weather was surprisingly cold considering it was only September, but the weather always tended to be more chaotic the closer inland you were. Emile had never really cared for cold weather. Being cold meant that he was vulnerable and that wasn’t a feeling that he enjoyed, but then again, who did? Regardless of whether it was cold outside or not he constantly wore a scarf. Many people thought him crazy for it especially when it was burning up outside. He shivered and wrapped his arms around himself as he walked along the city’s already busy streets. Suddenly, he remembered that he had to clean out his bag before it gave him anymore back troubles. With his destination in mind he pulled out his map, identified his directions, and headed towards the Pokemon Center.

”Where am I?” The map didn’t make any sense to him and he wasn’t about to ask somebody for directions, which would label Emile as the stereotypical male. He never asked for directions, ever. His hard-headed attitude and stubbornness often got him into a pickle in respect to his current location and that was why Hoshi was in charge of the map. They could rely on her to get them safely from one location to the next as long as he didn’t interfere. He looked at the map once more to try and find his bearings, but to his dismay he couldn't even figure out where he was on the map. At that moment he realized that he hadn't told any of his companions where he was headed to. He couldn't call any of them to let them know until he reached the Pokemon Center because he didn't have a portable phone or a pokegear. He had always been behind on the in products, but then again, he didn't care either. The only thing he cared to keep up on was fashion. A portable phone was useless to him on an ordinary day. Today was no ordinary day though and he was beginning to wish that he'd allowed his parents to buy him one before he'd left on this journey. Now, he'd have to wait, which was almost unbearable with his current situation.

The tall buildings of the city towered over Emile as he continued to wander aimlessly down the sidewalk past other people and their pokemon. They all seemed so comfortable in this busy environment, something that he would never get used to. He was a small town guy born and raised. The bustle caused a feeling of claustrophobia to rush through him. Being lost made him feel uneasy. The worry was obvious on his face and he was getting strange looks from the people he was passing, unsure of whether to say anything to him or not. Of course, he didn’t like being vulnerable so he tried to hide his expression by turning his gaze downward to avoid looking anyone in the eye. The idea that people could see right through him made him even more uncomfortable and he crossed his arms.

Walking with his face turned down made him somewhat of a walking time bomb. He was bound to bump into someone eventually, but he wasn’t paying enough attention to realize that it was about to be sooner rather than later. He shivered and wiped a sweat drop that was making its way down his forehead from stress. Emile about lost it as he bumped into someone. His anger from the recent argument clouded his judgment and he began to blame the situation on the other person instead considering that he was at fault as well. People need to watch where they’re going! Does no one have any respect anymore? His arrogant thoughts transferred over to his speech and his voice was filled with malice, his mind was so scattered that he didn’t realize he’d started to speak in french. “Pourquoi ne pas regarder où vous allez?” He adjusted his hat before looking up to see who exactly it was he’d ran into and his voice caught in his throat once he did. Now, he was embarrassed causing his face to turn bright red. “I’m so sorry! I didn’t realize that it was you!” Emile placed his hands on Hikaru's shoulders, joy welled up in his throat and he felt like he might cry. “I…I’m…How are you?” He couldn’t make sense of the situation anymore. It happened so suddenly. How could she be here? He’d heard so much about her in the papers and from Hoshi.

She was right in front of him, but was he the first of the group to find her? He narrowed his eyes and looked away, plotting. If I am the first to find her then, that means I’ve got her all to myself. He laughed to himself and looked back at Hikaru as if nothing had happened. He then realized that she didn't remember who he was. This brought his spirits down a bit, but it was easily corrected with a small re-introduction. Emile laughed before introducing himself, "You know, it's me, Emile! Well, it's actually Peter, but they call me Emile these days." He shrugged his shoulders as if it was nothing to introduce himself to a pretty girl.

Team Macchina, Team Macchina…Hmm. Peter puzzled over the name not able to bring to the forefront of his mind where he’d heard it before. It sounded like a rather important group or organization that he should know about, but he couldn’t place his finger on it. Whatever it was must not have been that big of a deal if he couldn’t remember who Team Macchina was, but then again, many things weren’t that big of a deal to him. He often forgot about topics or people if they didn’t bring any interest to him and later regretted it when someone brought it up again. Maybe, I’ll think of it later. He pushed the name to the back of his mind to contemplate as he walked with Hikaru hoping that something would trigger his memory on the subject.

“Well,” He scratched his head through his hat briefly after straightening his posture and following Hikaru. “It’s good to hear that you’re staying busy with Ranger missions and what not. I think that your hair color is rather fetching though; wouldn’t have it any other way.” He laughed nervously. Ack! Now she’s going to think that I’m some kind of weirdo. Quick, change the subject! Peter’s face turned red again as he panicked to find something else to talk about. “So, um. How about the weather?” Laughing nervously again he turned away from her and scowled at his terrible attempt. Why was he having such a difficult time right now? Granted, he hadn’t seen her in five years except in the paper, but that doesn’t compare to actually being right next to her. Back then they’d been a lot younger and girl and boy relationships were strictly just friends for him. Now that they were older and he had matured significantly, sort of, since then, the situation was now jeopardized by raging hormones. At least on his part it was. The situation couldn’t get anymore awkward so, he decided to try and act normal from now on and not bring up the weather or how ‘fetching’ she looks. Reluctantly he turned his attention back to Hikaru to see that her Luxray had taken up a position between Peter and Hikaru.

The Luxray, Thunderpelt as he’d been introduced, was showing somewhat of a disdain for Peter now that he’d been ignored. If it wasn’t for Hikaru being right there, Peter would gladly have challenged the pokemon to a battle to prove his worth. Since the Luxray looked about worked up as ever and battle ready at any moment. Peter couldn’t stand that the Luxray was trying to undermine his strength. He instinctively, as if answering to his animal instincts, moved his hand atop one of his pokeballs. The ball had a few scuff marks on it from the wear and tear of daily life and was the oldest of any of his pokeballs, meaning that his option for a possible fight with this Luxray would be only one pokemon, Sage, Peter’s first and strongest pokemon. His finger lingered over the pokeball’s button until Hikaru finally spoke up, dowsing his intentions immediately.

“Get your fur out of a bunch Thunder, you look like you want to challenge Peter to a pokemon battle. You know that's not our style," Her words reverberated through his mind for a moment before he slowly moved his hand off the waiting pokeball. What was he thinking? He was seriously about to challenge Hikaru to a battle in the middle of the city after finally reuniting. He tried to laugh off his absurd thoughts with a halfhearted grin and some nervous chuckling. “I would never think of challenging you to a battle, Hikaru!” He was practically yelling, drawing unwanted attention to himself and the two he walked with. “That would be rather dumb of me, since you’re probably way stronger than I am. Ha! What am I saying? You are way stronger than me! Haha heh ho." He turned his gaze away, keeping his mouth shut for a while.

Suddenly, as if he'd been hit by a ton of bricks, it hit him. He finally remembered who Team Macchina was. They were a notorious band of criminals who sought to control all pokemon without consideration of who they belonged to. They wanted the strongest pokemon they could get their hands on and they were using unusual means indeed to achieve that goal. "Aha! Now I got it! I've seen one of those machines before, can't remember where, but it was a pain to get rid of." Peter scratched his head through his hat again and adjusted his scarf. "What's up with those machines anyway? It took a jolt of electricity just to get it to stop making the pokemon go crazy." He looked at Hikaru for some sort of answer even if she didn't know much about it, but then again, if her mission revolves around the machines then she should know everything there is to know about the situation. Although, he realized that she might not be able to tell him what he wants to know. Maybe she's been sworn to secrecy and one of the higher level ranger's will come and deport her for revealing such information. "On second thought, I don't want to know." He smiled wildly, proud of his decision to protect Hikaru from being hurt on his behalf.

"So, your styler thing looks pretty hi-tech. What exactly does it do?" He examined the item on Hikaru's wrist out of the corner of his eye while making sure to avoid contact with the Luxray. The pokemon appeared pretty charged a moment ago and he didn't feel like being shocked right now. His appearance was top notch despite the fact that he'd spent the night sleeping on the ground around a campfire and he didn't want to ruin it. Looking his best for a gym battle challenge was one of his rules. It helped to give him the appearance of being more put together and stronger than he actually was.
