Not even five minutes in and people were already bumping into her. But, this particular person, a girl not too much younger than herself, looked...scared. She apologized quietly before hurrying off again. Skye tilted her head a bit and watched the girl walk off. What was going on? Skye turned back to walk off again, completely missing the guy walking briskly. It wasn't until there was a scream and a declaration of "let go of me" that Skye turned back to see the girl being harrassed by a guy, who clearly didn't understand the demand. Skye rushed over and pulled the man away, locking his arm behind him."The little lady said to let her go. I don't know who you are or what you want, but harassing a terrified girl isn't at all acceptable.""Ow, ow! Let go! I was just trying to--" Skye let the other go but pushed him away."It doesn't matter if you're an officer sent to tell her she's been orphaned. There's no excuse for terrifying a lady out of her wits. Piss off before I carve 'pig' onto your forehead.""Snivy!"
The guy went away grumbling, and Skye rested a hand on her hip before turning. The girl hadn't moved and was holding her wrist over her chest, her other hand wrapped around it. Clearly, she was terrified."You don't look too good. You should take a seat before you get sick."Skye reached out to her, but the Pokemon at her side growled a very vicious warning and she withdrew her hand."Are you going to be alright? I can go get a nurse or an officer if you need one."

Cheria jumped when the man she ran into earlier came to her defense, but she missed the interaction entirely as she held her wrist to her chest. She took slow breathes to try and relax, but only panicked more when her rescuer addressed her. Thankfully, he took a hint and pulled his hand away when Lupup growled at him. Cherie looked up at him nervously and shook her head a bit. "No....No, I'll be, uh....I-I'll be fine." Cherie looked away, lowering one hand while the other went across her stomach and held onto her arm. "...Th-Thank you for...for helping me. I'm sorry for the trouble....I'm Cheria Barnes. Please, forgive Lupup for his...warning." Forgive him? Lupup snorted. This guy was lucky it was just a growl!
Skye frowned as the other spoke rather...brokenly. Poor girl. She introduced herself as Cheria Barnes and Skye gave a smile before bowing slightly to her."Skylark at your service, Miss Cheria~! And, this little beauty is Corrianna....If you don't mind me asking, why was that guy chasing you?"

Skylark? That was an...oddly familiar name. Not too many people with that name. Looking down at the Snivy, Cheria sodftly waved to her. What a pretty name. Corrianna....It was stunning. "Oh, um...,Well, he....He mistook me for his, uh...girlfriend and was trying to apologize for it. Still, he went about it all wrong....""Pup!"
That was...kind of pathetic. What sort of guy chases after an increasingly terrified girl to apologize? Honestly, some people were idiots and should be institutionalized."Sorry to hear that. I'm just glad it wasn't for any sinister reason, and that I showed in Striaton when I did. It always makes me happy to see I've successfully rescued a damsel in distress~. Especially one as pretty as you."Okay. The timing was probably inappropriate, but Skye couldn't help it. Cheria was very pretty! Especially her eyes. They were so pale. Corrianna looked up at Skye and then dropped her head in a hang, shaking it slowly. Clearly, Skye's flirting didn't impress the Snivy at all.

Cheria's cheeks turned pink and she covered her face, looking away shyly. Was she really? The timing wasn't the best, but it made her feel better. This guy was a gentleman with a charming and smooth way of flirting. "I....I don't think I'm all that pretty, but....Thank you for the compliment." Cheria got her face to cool down and looked back at Skylark, giving him a small smile. "So, is Corrianna your starter? That must mean you started here in Unova, right?"
Cheria's reaction was perfect! It nearly made Skye sweep her up off her feet!"Don't say that. You're beautiful~. Maybe you just need to see yourself through someone else's eyes, and be more confident about yourself."She was actually being serious and encouraging now. Flirting wasn't her intent. Skye felt personally responsible when girls called themselves ugly or anything negative. When Cheria turned the topic onto Corrianna and Skye's starting region, the platinum blonde sky tyrant nodded."That's right. And, I'm proud I chose a Snivy. Even if she was difficult at first....What about you? Are you an Unova trainer, or just visiting from another region?"

Skye looked over when a Lillipup bound out of nowhere and nearly knocked Corrianna down. She helped the wobbling Snivy catch her balance with her foot before looking at Lillipup."Gonzo!"Gonzo appeared from his ball, only to be struck with Lillipup's Tackle attack. That little mutt!"Scratch him, Gonzo!"Though the attack did less to Lillipup than Tackle did to Gonzo, the Purrloin was given a second chance to strike after Lillipup foolishly used Leer. It wasn't long before Lillipup was down, Gonzo standing over him proudly.
lvl 8 Gonzo VS lvl 8 Lillipup Lillipup used TACKLE! -50 HP from Gonzo. 30 HP remaining. Gonzo used SCRATCH! -40 HP from Lillipup. 40 HP remaining. Lillipup used LEER! Gonzo's defense lowered slightly. Gonzo used SCRATCH! -40 HP from Lillipup. Lillipup fainted! +7 EXP to Gonzo.

He thought so? Maybe Skylark was right. A different perspective or higher co fidence would change that. But, confidence didn't form over night and she couldn't possess people. "I'm from Kalos. My starter is Froakie. Or, well....She's a Frogadier now, but still. Anyway....I'm here in Unova to visit Nimbasa and Opelucid. I thought I'd challenge the gym here in Striaton first, though." Skylark was suddenly pulled into a battle and Cheria watched as he sent out a Purrloin to battle Lillipup. Cat versus dog....How climatic. Skylark and his Purrloin won, and Cheria smiled and clapped to congratulate them before her holo caster went. Looking at the text, she saw it was from Simon's mom and that Sonia evolved. That was great! She looked amazing!

Text to Simon's Mom~! Thank you for the update, Mrs. Davis. Sonia looks great! I'll definitely check in sometime to see how she's doing. Thanks a ton for taking care of her.
Text to Simon~! Your mom updated me on Sonia's evolution. She looks great, and so happy, too. I guess I don't have to worry about her after all. I hope your gym battle goes well! <3
Skye smiled a bit. So, she was here to visit Nimbasa and Opelucid. That was a bit specific."Oh? Any particular reason for wanting to go to those certain cities? Pen pals? Local products?...Maybe a special boy?"Skye ignored Corrianna's and Gonzo's small groans. She was doing fine. Cheria's holo caster went off and Skye watched with interest as she responded to the message with a happy spark in her eyes. What happened?"Good friend of yours?"

A...special boy? Cheria blushed again and shook her head. "O-Of course not! Nothing like that...!" Skylark was quite the tease, wasn't he? But, he seemed friendly enough. "Did you happen to see the meteor shower awhile back? It apparently left shards and people are collecting them. Nimbasa and Opelucid authorities are allowing people to collect them."
Skye laughed at Cheria's reaction. She was a bit of an innocent, wasn't she?"Relax. I was only joking. So, a meteor shower? Sorry to say, but I must have missed it. A shame, too. They're so amazing from where I live. But, I do recall a broadcast for...'star shards'. Dad was hoping he could make a killing of them, but they seemed too much of a hassle to track down. But, I'd like to find some myself just to have....Would you mind if I come with you~?""Sni~?"

Joke or not, it was embarrassing. Especially after the whole jealous thing at Tanabata. Cheria was relieved when Skylark Changed the subject. "Oh. Well, I missed it, too. I only found out because my dad told me." From where he lived? Cheria tilted her head, curious as to where that was. "Ha. Sounds like your dad's really into quick cash, huh?"
So, her dad was sort of a news reporter for her. Was Cheria a daddy's girl then? Or, was her mom just...out of the picture?"You could say that. We're all treasure hunters in a sense. Anyway....Can I take your dismissal of my question as a no? Or, are you just not sure?"

Huh? Question?...Oh! Oh, no! She did it again! "No, I...! I don't mind I you come with me! I'm sorry....I can be a bit absent-minded sometimes." She had to work on that. Lupup looked between Cheria and Skylark, huffing a bit. He didn't know if he should trust this guy. Cheria noticed Lupup's expression and knelt, patting his head softly.
