Welcome to Gaia! ::

Aoi calmly sits in a typical caf'e and flips through the pages of a news paper. "Another gym leader dies?" Aoi mutters softly "Thats the second one this week," he said turning to the 'wanted' section.
A small emotionless smirk then appears on Aoi's face. "I'm not sure if I should be happy I'm worth more than anyone on this list or upset that they lumped me up with some common crooks." he said sipping his tea.

Aoi placed down his paper and finished off the last of his food. "Did you want anything Zangoose?" Aoi asked looking under the table.
Aoi picked up the small zangoose and looked into his eyes as the pokemon innociently stared back. Nothing made sense to Aoi like it did in the past. "Lets just go..." Aoi said snapping out of his dramatic stare and walking twords the bar to pay.
"Did I interrupt something? I just wanted to pay for the meal." Aoi said to the bar tender, distracted by Crow's tatoo.

"Thanks..." Aoi kindy replied to Drew with a polite bow before he turned to hear Crow's respose. "The yin yang is supposed to symbolize the balance of all things. One cannot exist without the other-" Aoi said stopping himself and reaching for Crow's hand. "I'm sorry, the names Aoi Kyuuketsuki, pleased to meet cha." He said as Zangoose looked into Crows strange green eyes.

Knives stumble in a peaceful town called Pallet Town as he raise up his head high in the sky, feeling more of the sun's heat pressuring his whole body. He put his right hand in his pocket and carefully search through it like a raccoon sneaking in at night to found a small meal of food in stranger trashcan. Knives pulled out his palm and started counting what he had in his pocket. "Seven, thirteen and twenty eight.... Hmm, this should be a enough." Knives squat down and stared at the outfield of the town, he soon makes a sharp whistling sound with only his thumb and middle finger almost press together as he blow air through them, calling out one of his Pokemon's.

A loud respond echo out nearby him, Knives soon felt a small weight against the top of his head. He rolled his eye's up to a small like bird Pokemon as it spoke out its name twice. He first pointed at the front Pallet town while the other hand was on his left kneel. "Pigey... I need you to find a shop with plenty food for me... Ok." He order, Pidgey lifted its small beak high and spread its wings wide as the small bird began to flapping them, fly toward to Pallet town. A faint growl became out from the center of his stomach, making him feeling empty inside. "Hungry..." He complains.

Aoi walks through the peaceful Town, whilst flashing back to his moments with Crow in the caf'e. By now, Aoi had long left the caf'e. "I can't believe I embarassed myself back there." Aoi said to his Zangoose.
The small pokemon let out a cry and tried to comfort it's trainer while walking on all fours.

Crow walked out of the cafe with a toothpick in her mouth as she enjoyed her walk through pallet town.
"That's a member of the Elite Four." Whispered a boy as he quietly followed Crow with a buddy of his. "Remember the plan? Good.. Wait she stopped walking. Sshh."

Crow stopped and put a hand on her hip as she let out a sigh. "Come on out." She called as she turned around. A boy popped out with a smirk on his face. Crow was hoping to go unnoticed, but as always there seemed to be someone who recognized her. No words needed to be exchanged as the boy brought out his Rhydon.

Feraligatr stood tall at Crow's side as she sat down her bag.
"I can assure you won't win-" the boy was interrupted as his Rhydon got thrown back by a water gun. Crow seemed different somehow; she did not have the same carefree attitude she was once did before the boy challenged her. Crow was serious and never took battling as a joke.

Aoi's ears twitched at the sound of a water gun. "Was that a Hydro-pump??" Aoi said to his clueless infant of a pokemon.
"Any battling in a peaceful town like this is sure to draw a crowd" Aoi finished as the winds pushed him twords the outskirts.
