A figure in a purple coat with a matching purple parasol stepped carefully onto the dock of the region, her heels providing a delicate tapping noise. For everyone else that had been on the ship, it was probably just normal everyday life. However, for the young lady, it was a first. The first steps into the new region. To the gentleman manning the exit, she gave a nod of the head and a gentle "Thank you" before trotting forward a bit, her parasol spinning slightly above her head.
"Dit?"
Her steps paused for a moment as a nearly gelatinous white blob seemed to ooze into her line of vision. Two beady red eyes blinked at the black lenses between them before the blob once more repeated "Dit?"
"Come now, Opal, you know better than to fog up my glasses!" With a black gloved finger, she shooed the oddly colored ditto back into the rightful place on her head scarf.
The blob bobbed up and down slightly, almost as if trying to get some attention. It once more repeated "Dit?"
The girl laughed. "Yes, yes, I did hear your question the first time... we're here... we can get a better look later... we need to get situated..."
The Pokemon on her head seemed satisfied with this answer and hushed, seeming to settle in patiently on the headscarf. Now that all of the commotion on her head had calmed for now, the girl twirled her parasol one more time before continuing on her path away from the docks. Surely when she got to the street, she could figure out where she was. Right?

Perhaps things would've been easier found if the ship just hadn't come in by the time Istas had arrived. She sighed as her Eevee trotted along side her "Eureka I don't know where it is. I can't see around all these people."
She was doing her best to dodge everyone and occasionally brushing a much older fellow, Eureka eventually whined enough to warrant being picked up. "Really. How am I suppose to find the pokecenter when you keep wanting me to pick you up?"
Istas had no idea she'd found her way to the docks and suddenly found herself running into someone when she was walking backwards trying to see if she missed the pokecenter. "Oof." Came the noise from the little girl, "I'm sorry..." She started and paused at the sight of the person she just ran into and the white ditto on her head.

It would seem she was destined to not quite find the street yet. She felt a rather firm nudge against her side. If she had been a bit more skittish, she might have dropped her parasol. However, her hand was well trained to hold firmly onto that handle.
Though the young woman felt the collision first, the Pokemon on her head seemed to locate the source of said collision. "Ditto!" the blob squeaked out before almost seeming to drip off of the headscarf, carefully towards the side rather than towards the front of the dark glasses.
However, when the blob landed on the ground, it was no longer a blob. In fact, it looked an awful lot like the Pokemon that the young trainer had in her arms. "Veeeee!!!" There was something lacking in regards to the color.
The white Eevee on the ground lifted a paw towards the younger trainer. "Vee!" It was time to pay attention to Opal now!

Istas watched the Ditto drop and suddenly it looked very much like her Eevee, only white. The child's eyes grew large and seemed both surprised and impressed. Eureka wiggled out of Istas' arms to investigate this strange pokemon, sniffing at it before letting out a "Veee!!" of its own.
Istas blushed when the lady complemented her. "T-Thank you." The child stammered a bit blushing almost in shyness. If Eureka hadn't left Istas' arms she would've tried to hide her face behind the pokemon. Without her Eevee though the child's foot twisted nervously on the ground.
"I-I didn't mean to-to run into you." She said again, "I-I was looking for the... uh.... p-pokecenter." Giving a soft nod before taking in how oddly the woman was dressed and turning her attention to the Clone. "Y-your ditto is talented, but why did it stay white though? D-d-don't they normally copy colors too?"

"Pokemon center?" She turned towards the boat that she had just stepped off of, adjusting her parasol to keep herself shaded.
"...I do not think the Pokemon center would be all the way out here? Unless they had the Pokemon center at the docks... but that would be strange..." She shook her head slowly before returning her sights to the girl.
The white Eevee's tail wagged even faster before it imitated the other Pokemon's actions, its pink nose twitching with each sniff. Yup, this Pokemon smelled like an Eevee. The paler of the pair then yipped out "Vee eve vee!!" (Hello to you!)
While the two Pokemon seemed to investigate, the young woman casually glanced to the child's hat. It was nice that she had the dark glasses there to mask her eyes, for at the moment she was squinting, trying to make out one detail she couldn't make out. However, her efforts were interrupted by a question.
"Ah... unfortunately, Opal will never be able to do a perfect transformation. She suffers from a genetic defect called albinism. It prevents any transformation she does from being the right color."
She paused, looking to the child's hands now. "So... do you have a map...um..." Another pause. "Oh, I didn't get your name yet! My name is Ivory." She moved the handle to her parasol from her right hand to her left, then offered the black glove for a shake.

Istas bobbed her head in a nod. "I... couldn't see for all the people... I just got into town." She admitted sheepishly as she watched the two Eevees. Shuffling around in her Teddursa backpack for her map, which she found after a little bit of digging and offered it to Ivory.
Eureka seemed quite pleased, though she wasn't quite sure the other pokemon smelled like an eevee or a ditto. "Vee eve vee eve! Eve vee eve, eve vee." (Hi to you too! What are you, by the way?)
Istas hadn't noticed the staring at her hat. However she reached up to subconsciously adjust it. She blinked, "Oh, is it painful?" She asked curiously as a child she'd never actually quite understood what Albinism is besides that an animal was white. Which actually left much to be desired in terms of knowledge for the child.
She paused, "Nice to meet you, Ivory." The child seemed to be warming up, at least the older girl wasn't a stranger now, "I'm Istas." She smiled softly looking up to the older girl.

Though Ivory might not have known anything about this region, she knew that a map like this wouldn't help her too much. The details were far too detailed for her to make heads or tails out of the printed map. "Oh no, why don't you hold onto that, Istas." Her glove curled around the girl's hand as they shook before letting it go carefully. The girl drew her hand up to the other holding the parasol and gently tugged the glove up slightly.
"From what I have read about it, the only things that would be painful in a sense is if they go out in bright light. Like, the best analogy that I have read is imagining you are in a movie theater, then you go outside in the bright light. Just take that, and make it worse for an albino."
The false eevee of the pair didn't seem to mind the question, but at the same time, did not seem to hesitate to cross any potential boundaries. Padding around to the brown eevee's side, Opal then flopped over on top of the other with a big happy look on her face.
"Vee vee eeve," (I am me) was the rather simple reply. With that, she playfully attempted to nab a brown ear in her mouth for chewing. A white puffy tail waggled contently.
After fixing her gloves, the young lady once more took note of the Pokemon. "It would seem they are having fun..." She sighed pleasantly, since she knew that Opal liked to make friends. It was somewhat what that little Pokemon did. "It would be a pity to go on our separate ways already. I do need to locate the Pokemon Center too, so perhaps we can both go together. Would that work for you, Istas?"
