Welcome to Gaia! ::

LizDuck was utterly lost. Certainly, she made sure to ask for directions at the Pokemon Center before leaving to find the battle stadium. She noted in her mind that she had been exceptionally polite, as any idol should be!

Yet looking up at the nearest sign, it didn't seem to be even remotely familiar. "I've obviously taken a wrong turn somewhere, but where did that happen?" Finding a nearby wall, she carefully huddled up a bit towards the ground and began to dig around in her designer bag. Afterall, she didn't want to get her dress too dirty from sitting down.

"I know it's in here somewhere..." she mumbled to herself and she dug around through the many items in her bag. And then all of a sudden, POP! Recognizing the sound as what a pokeball sounds like when opened up, all she had to do was look up a bit. Miss Sprinkles the Skitty had come out on accident and was now literally in her hair.

"Hmmm... maybe you can help me...?" For some reason, the idol doubted this and let out a bit of a sigh.

Not being the brightest thing on two legs, the trainer-in-training looked up from her bag to find a bright-eyed Raichu looking at her. Her immediate instinct was what she followed, which was to attempt to give the pokemon a nice pet on the head.

"Hello there, Raichu!" she greeted enthusiastically, her dimples becoming noticeable due to her smiling. She'd continue to pet the pokemon (if it would let her), but eventually receive a poke to the head by the Skitty on her head.

"Skitty, skit, skit!"

"Hmmmm...?" Finally taking a notice of their surroundings, she didn't find a single trainer nearby. Such a pity, it seemed that this pokemon didn't have a trainer. Maybe it did have a trainer, however, she wasn't about to try the sure-fire way to figuring this out. Afterall, then she'd seem like a thief who was trying to steal someone else's pokemon. LizDuck would have to rely on method number 2.

"Raichu, do you have a partner?" Thinking of partners, she decided it was about time for one of hers to be removed from the top of her head. Picking up Miss Sprinkles, she pulled off the wriggling bundle of mews.

"Tee, Skit!" the pokemon complained mildly.

The Skitty would have kept complaining if her ears didn't pick up on the rather hefty "PLOP" sound that occured near her. Her pink ears perked up momentarily, before flattening on her head slightly.

"Skitty skit skit skitty?" Inching closer to the larger pokemon, the kitten pokemon poked the lump with one of her paws. Then she poked it three more times. This was sort of fun, so she then poked it five more times.

"Miss Sprinkles, that is not the proper way to introduce yourself!" the trainer scolded slightly. LizDuck's tone never really got too severe, and even now her tone sounded quite pleasant. However, she couldn't help but be mildly amused at the interactions between the two pokemon. Continuing on with what seemed to be a serious situation, the trainer spoke up again, this time directed to the Raichu: "Do you not know where your trainer is?"

Seeing as she now needed to give an introduction, the Skitty gave a little four-legged curtsy and gave a proper introduction (though only other pokemon could really understand it). "Skit, tee skit skit Skitty Skit!"

Politely, the Skitty offered her tail for a shake with a smile. Yet she noticed the less than enthusiastic introduction and tilted her head a bit. She offered a sympathetic "Skit skit..." A small pat with her small paws on the Raichu's shoulder was offered as well.

This was a dilemna indeed. A pokemon that didn't know where its trainer was! How could she help this poor pokemon? Thinking slightly for a bit, she then came up with an idea. Looking in her designer bag, she pulled out her favorite microphone. In a nearly giddy voice, she asked the Raichu "Do you like music, Raichu?" It was almost time to create a scene and be in the public's eye yet again.

Miss Sprinkles bounced up and down enthusiastically. She loved her trainer's singing voice!

Smiling, LizDuck marched out of the alley way into a more open area, signaling for both pokemon to follow her. Miss Sprinkles obediently did as requested, though she was more than pleased to do such anyways. She really didn't need a speaker, because her microphone device acted as microphone and speaker in one, which was very handy indeed. Only once the two pokemon were very close to her did she start singing her first well known song.

Love is such a funny thing
Makes me dizzy just to see
I never could get into the swing
And didn't realize it could happen to me.
I see him standing there tall
Seeming proud, I can understand
Never noticed the world at all
Now he's reaching out his hand.

He calls me Sugar Sweet
and Petite
Sugar Sweet
and Petite
Sugar Sweet
and Petite
Don't know why he calls me such
But I love him so much

((Dear world, I suck at song lyrics. Love, Lizzy))

((IT DOES TOO xd *NOT A SONG WRITER, K THX*))

Miss Sprinkles most certainly was enjoying herself. As her trainer sang, she did what came natural to her feet, she began to dance. It was a cute sight, but it wasn't necessarily all that helpful.

As people gathered around, it seemed like part of her plan was working well. Unknown to LizDuck, the desired trainer didn't come over. Instead, everyone else did. None could accuse her of being shy in such situations.

"Hello everyone!" she greeted the crowd after her song was over. Of course, plenty of others greeted her back. Pulling her microphone away from her lips so she wasn't speaking into it, she whispered to the Raichu "Come here, Raichu! It is your time for spotlight!" With a slight wave of the hand, she signaled for the electric pokemon to come closer so she could make an announcement.

((Nuuuuuuuuu... NOT FINAL gonk ))

The singer smiled and gently patted the Raichu on the head, then turned back to the audience. In a cheerful voice that seemed to be the type to appeal to an audience, LizDuck announced "I am glad to see that everyone enjoyed my song. I'm actually trying to find the owner of this Raichu, who got separated from its trainer. If anyone has any information about the trainer who owns this Raichu, please come forward. There's no need to be shy!"

Of course, as the idol had expected, she got a bunch of stray comments that had to do with being a fan, loving the song, and questions of why Bob wasn't there. LizDuck decided to not really answer these with anything more than a mildly sheepish smile. However, she couldn't see anybody coming forward yet.

"Skitty tee?" Following the raichu up to the spotlight, Miss Sprinkles attempted to imitate the pokemon next to her. It was cute, but mildly awkward for a skitty to immitate a raichu afterall.

((NOTHING IS EVER FINAL IN THIS LIFETIME pirate ))

Most certainly, LizDuck wasn't the only one who was performing, for it wasn't too hard to spy a Pidgeot in the sky. She had seen them on occasion in the Kanto region, but never up close like this before. Reaching into her bag, she pulled out her pokedex so she could get a little bit of information on this particular pokemon. The feminine robotic voice of the pokedex announced "Pidgeot: By flapping it wings with all its might, PIDGEOT can make a gust of wind capable of bending tall trees." With a big smile, LizDuck chuckled a bit and turned to the Raichu.

"Chuchu, eh? I take it that's your trainer, right?" This trainer looked like she knew exactly what she was doing. Of course, LizDuck hadn't put away her pokedex yet, so when she faced Chuchu, it spouted out more information. "Raichu: It turns aggressive if it has too much electricity in its body. It discharges power through its tail."

"Oh, that's interesting" the idol mused before offering a greeting to the trainer herself. "Hi there! I take it that this is your pokemon?"

Miss Sprinkles couldn't help but get a bit flustered as the sudden arrival of a large bird pokemon. Her eyes widened and she began to circle a bit in place, calling out "Skit skit skit skit!!!" She wasn't familiar with such big pokemon and it was a bit intimidating.
