Welcome to Gaia! ::

Arceus! Was everyone in this family so saucy? Allen gave Caleb the stank eye, "Yeah a man that can't handle even a sip of alcohol."

A song blared from Lydia's little body:
'HEY!

what makes a man, is it the power in his hands?
is it his quest for glory?
Give it all you've got, to fight to the top.
so we can know your story.'

Allen slapped his face, looking back down at the phone, "Sorry about that." He had to half yell over the song.

"Hey hey hey! In my defense, I didn't know he was wasted beyond return!" He spoke into the phone, then he looked back to Caleb, "And you're not going anywhere like that." He squinted, "You should probably just stick to your room and sleep it off." He looks back down the the phone again, "Also, My name is Allen."

"Wh- I'm not! I mean! I didn't give him the drink!" Now he was just trying to regain his secretary status at the very least. "M-My Pokemon did..." He sighed.

"I think, I'm ah, just gonna go to bed." He took the phone to Caleb, "Here. don't break it." He walked to the door, "C'mon Lydia, you've done enough for tonight."

Lydia cackled as she left the room, the song still booming down the hallway.

Maddy was taking a stroll down one of the busy streets of Castelia City. Even at this time of day, the city was still loud and bustling. She stopped in her tracks to look up at the tall buildings that towered around her. Right here, in the middle of such a large city, she was just another face in the crowd. It made her feel insignificant but it allowed her to think freely without getting bothered.
She frowned as a group of Team Plasma grunts walked past her, laughing and talking loudly. The crowds of people seemed to part and allow them to pass.
Her gaze to the ground, Maddy continued onward, heading towards the northern exit out of the city.

She found herself wandering onto Unova Route 4. The dusty pavement beneath her feet was blazing hot from the sun above. Unova was a really weird region, to have a ruin filled desert just outside it's biggest city.
Walking on the side of the road to stay out of the way of traffic and people trying to get to the next town in a hurry, Maddy reached into her pocket and pulled out her lighter. She liked to play around with it when she was craving a smoke.
"Hmmm..."
Eventually, she became bored and sat down on a rock, protruding from the dusty earth. With a sigh, she settled for just watching people walk by.

Caleb trudged down the stairs. Even after resting for most of the night, he still looked like Trubbish. He groaned as he plopped down in an empty chair at the breakfast bar. He leaned forward and buried his face in his arms. Marshtomp scooted over, handing him a packet. Caleb muttered a 'thank you' before taking the packet and ripping it open. He popped the aspirin into his mouth before downing a glass of orange juice.

There was a chuckle in the corner of the room before an eerie shadow creeped out revealing a Banette. Lydia floated over to the other trainers, taking a seat on a tall stool. She waved innocently as a faint melodic tune drifted from her body. She sure learned how to use that little music device with ease. "Ba-ne!" She said aloud with a grin.

Of course Allen was already out and about in the city looking for places he had yet to visit. He inconspicuously made sure he still had the two Pokeballs he brought in case he ran into another one of those random battling street performers. That last clown made a terrible impression. A shudder came with the thought.

He stepped into the hotel, waving to the old woman. She nodded in return and went back to her crossword puzzle. He looked around to find some teammates near the breakfast bar. "Oh, Afternoon guys!" Then he noticed Lydia sitting there too, "You bothering everyone again?" He chuckled reaching over and petting her head.

She gave a 'I dunno~' type of look giggles when he petted her.
