Welcome to Gaia! ::

The scene was picturesque. The crashing of the waves along a crystalline shoreline just outside of Sagestone Town. The sands were almost pure white and the waters a glimmering, clear blue. A seabreeze blowing through and ruffling the hair of the beachgoers, many of them trainers who were looking for battles or water Pokemon.

A female figure stepped out onto the sands. Clad in a pink miniskirt with a white sleeveless top, sneakers, and knee high socks. A blue belt across her waist that held pokeballs, and a messenger bag slung across her torso. Even a girl's version of the Poketch adorned her wrist. Beneath a white wide brimmed hat with the Pokemon League logo, blonde hair was put up into two long pig tails. At her side was a white Eevee who happily frolicked towards the water, while a normal one stayed at her side.

Brown eyes glanced across the area, as if looking for something. She then turned with a frown to look behind her. What the heck was keeping her mission partner?

Hearing someone shout behind her, Nikki turned and flashed him a bright grin. "Hi there! My name's Brianna, what's yours?"

She then used a hand to pull down the brim of her hat slightly in order to give Mau a dark look. However, that grin didn't fade, which could be considered a bit... creepy. "And you're old enough to be my father, so don't try anything." This spoken in a low tone so as not to attract attention.

Bira flicked an ear, trying to play the part of a normal Eevee. However, the little Eevee had what looked to be a smirk as her trainer spoke to the man. That changed though when she looked towards the Vaporeon, fangs bared and a growl coming from the cute Pokemon.

"Now now, Bira be nice!" Nikki said in a cheerful but scolding fashion as she bent down to pat the Eevee on the head. Her ears flattening and looking annoyed at the patting more than anything.

Mau would be on his own as far as the tavern went. Nikki wasn't even of legal drinking age, thus it would look a bit odd for her to show up there.

The girl put a hand on her hip, a bright smile given to Mau. "I might! I'm mostly here for Pokemon training though." As her outfit would suggest, Nikki's plan was to hang around the local and traveling trainers. There was a good chance that if any happened to spot a legendary Pokemon, they would be bragging about it.

Suddenly realizing she had lost track of her other Eevee, Nikki turned to look back at the surf to see Byakko happily playing in the water. She cringed slightly, "Hey Byakko, come back here!" The white Eevee looked up, squinting her red eyes against the glare of the sun and wagged her tail.

It would probably be killing Nikki too, except this mission was serious business. Despite the fact that she was acting far out of the norm, it was the main reason she had two Eevees. This was her best disguise and besides... nobody suspected a girl with cute Pokemon.

Brianna looked at Mau a bit skeptically. What was he trying to do, play a gay guy? He was doing it uncannily well. Either he was a great actor or he really was... Nikki derailed her train of thought right there.

After having stared at the water longingly, Byakko blinked her eyes several times before meandering back onto shore. The white Eevee stumbled towards Aki, not appearing to actually see him, and thus likely to run into him if he didn't evade.

"Thanks!" Nikki chirped at the compliment, before raising her brows at the invitation. What was he doing? "Uh... sure! I think I saw a stand near the boardwalk."

Nikki followed, but then slowed down as she realized her Eevee was having problems. She grimaced slightly as she watched Byakko run into the Vaporeon.

"Vee vee..." she murmured in confusion, blinking and looking up at Aki. She then followed the Vaporeon back to her trainer, who scooped her up in her arms. "I told you to come back, the glare isn't good for your eyes." The albino Eevee pouted while Bira continued following at Nikki's heels.

"Liechi Berry is my favorite!" She called back with a wave to Mau as she tried to catch up to him at the icecream stand.

Nearby there were other people milling about. Trainers and normal civilians alike. A couple of small children with inner tubes around their waits, came up to the stand as well. Most of the chatter was just useless drabble as she tried to eavesdrop on conversations.

Rosie was really supposed to be training today, but once she saw the beach it was just way to hard not to resist a chance to play while the sun was still up and warm.
Vahy'n had looked pretty interested in the water as well, and didn't deny the opportunity to get in for a long swim once Rosie has started down toward the beach.

She had made many friends today to, got into a couple of beach battles... those she could probably do better in. and Vahy'n got lots of attention.
For now though, she was taking a break in the shade, sitting with her two pokemon and enjoying an icecream with them.

Blond hair pulled back as best it could in a small ponytail, her traveling clothes were stowed in her bag, instead she was wearing a once piece pink and white bathing suit, with a light blue knee length skirt tied around her hips.

She enjoyed just being with her pokemon now sitting in the grassy shade underneath a nearby umbrella, but she still watched the people that passed by, smiling softly at how much fun everyone seemed to be having, as well as all the different pokemon the people had.
One in particular caught her attention, she had to do a double take to make sure she wasn't just seeing things. but sure enough, there was a Vaporeon, with unusually blue eyes. he was with two other people, a pretty blond young women, and a very happy looking man. she wasn't sure if it was Mau or not, the hair was right, but thats not how he acted when she had met him.
"Aki?" she called to him

Vahy'n looked around when Rosie called the familiar name, yellow eyes catching sight of the other Vaporeon, oh yes, she remembered him.
Kiss on the other hand, was completely out of the loop, and with a more confused "Chuuu?" hopped up onto Rosie's head and peered out at who she was calling to.

It was frustrating that Mau wasn't able to just blatantly tell her he'd heard some information already about a sighting. He sighed in mild frustration and was about to wipe up the ice cream when the eevee began to lick up the sticky mess.

Of course, that was not a moment too soon as a familiar voice called to Aki. Thankfully, the vaporeon was virtually asleep under the table and made no move or response to the girl's call. Mau hoped that if they ignored her, she might go away.

"A breeder? Rare find!"

Of course ignoring Rosie didn't seem to work as the child came over.

When Rosie came up, Brianna turned her attention to the girl and her Pokemon. Her eyes suddenly went wide, the disobedient Eevee going unnoticed for the moment.

"Oh my! What CUTE Pokemon!" She squealed with delight. "Your Pikachu is absolutely adorable! I've never seen one with heart shaped cheek pouches like that! And your Vaporeon is just gorgeous! Where did you get it?" All the while holding little Byakko in one arm. The white Eevee perked her ears and wagged her tail at the new Pokemon, "Vee!"

She then looked up at Rosie with a bright smile. "Are you a trainer too? Would you like to have a Pokemon battle?"
