Welcome to Gaia! ::

Came from: Valerian's Lab!

Belle's eyes, massive as she took in the city, roamed around with curiosity, fascinated by the city she saw. It was far bigger than Iclea, that was for sure. Glancing down, she noticed her new Pokemon, the Charmander, walking a little ahead of her, unconsciously leading her. She smiled, following the little thing. A small bench caught her eye, and she called out, "Come on, dearest! How about we sit down?" The Pokemon turned around a stared at her for a long moment, before complying and following her to the bench.

She sat down, watching as the little Charmander climbed her way up, before sitting next to her and watching her new trainer expectantly. "So . . . uh . . . You need a nickname! I can hardly go around calling you by your species name! How about . . . er, Celisse?" The Pokemon nodded, somewhat satisfied, and turned to stare straight ahead, settling back on the bench. "Well, Celisse, it's a pleasure to meet you. Are you hungry?" Celisse did not turn her head, so she could only assume that she was not. "Alright . . . Oh, right, my name is Belle. I'm your new trainer!" Again, Celisse did not react. Trying to think nothing of it, Belle sat back, watching her new friend.

"So . . . Uhm. Did you want to go out onto Route 1 and train?" This time, Celisse's blue eyes showed some emotion, turning to look at Belle. It gave a single nod, sliding off the bench and waiting for Belle to do the same. Smiling, she stood, pleased that she had gotten through to her. "Alright. Uh . . . Do you know where Route 1 is?" She swore she saw Celisse do a facepalm.

Glancing around, she noticed a little boy walking into the city, the same way she had come. On closer inspection, he had a blue and white Pokemon behind him. Curiously, Belle dug around in her bag for a moment, before producing her Pokedex. She'd been to excited to wait for it, so she had had Valerian's aide mail it to her. The whole way to Blyse, she'd been pointing it at random Pokemon to see what they were. Now, she pointed it to the blue and white Pokedex at the creature. The red light beeped and the device came to life, announcing, "Oshawott, the Sea Otter Pokemon. It fights using the scalchop on its stomach. In response to an attack, it retaliates immediately by slashing."

"Oooh~ Looks cute. What do you think, Celisse?" The Pokemon stared at her. " . . . Okay. Well, let's go say hi." She moved forwards, Celisse in tow. As she approached the little boy, she smiled, coming to a stop in front of him. "Well, hi, there~ My name's Belle. Who might you be, little man?" Celisse had a bored expression on her face, but examined the Oshawott, apparently sizing it up as competition.

Belle blinked in surprise at the little boy's questions. Small body, big mouth, she supposed. She made a note not to tell him anything personal - no doubt he'd let that slip out at the worst moment. She listened intently to his questions. Eh, it wasn't that bad. She'd had this terrible chatterbox of a friend back in Iclea that would not shut up for any amount of money. "No, I do not have a lot of Pokemon. I only have Celisse here." She gestured to the Charmander, who shifted her eyes from Lin to Alex, glowering at him intently. "I have no badges, because I've only just started my journey. Besides, I think Celisse would probably kill me if I tried to get on her back and ride her. Yes, I have a Pokedex, yes I just started and yes, I know I'm old to be starting out. You see, I live a while away in Iclea Town, which is a pain to get to if you don't pay off the guy who operates the train." She shrugged. "You're meant to have a badge to go up, but he sometimes lets me just go up, because I live there. Now that he knows I'm going to be a trainer, though, I suppose I'll have to get that badge . . . Oh, well. Anyway, my daddy didn't want me to come down when I was younger, because he feared that I would hurt myself at such a young age. He wanted me to be safe. Now, though, I've sort of done a runner down the mountain . . . I think he knew I was going to do it, though, so it's all good." She shrugged again, hoping that he had time to take all that in. Thinking back, she probably should have told her mother that she was leaving . . . She was probably wondering where she was. Oh, no, it'd be fine. One of the servants probably already told her.

Dante Serven strolled the streets of Blyse City, keeping a careful eye out both for the object of his search - Professor Valerian - and for anyone who looked like a new trainer. He'd arrived at the professor's lab earlier that morning, intending to drop by and check out the new crop of trainers, but he'd found no one there at all - a mystery, considering the professor's usual habit of greeting each new trainer. With Mewtwo still out doing who knew what and no easy way to contact the cat, Dante had elected to comb the streets of Blyse for the errant professor, hoping along the way to find her.

As he walked, the Gym Leader noticed a pair of trainers on the streets, evidently brand-new given their enthusiastic discussion about Pokedexes and starters. Dante smiled ruefully, remembering his first day as a trainer. "Hello there," he said, walking over. "You must be new trainers."

"'Name's Dante," the Gym Leader replied, forgoing his last name. After his literary career took off and he became the leader of Genesia's gym, Dante found it necessary to operate under a certain degree of anonymity. Once Mewtwo started staying with him, it was more crucial than ever that he keep a lower profile than before. He didn't think the girl would know who he was, even if he told her, but discretion was usually a good idea. "I'm from Genesia and stopped by Blyse to take a look at the new trainer crop. You just started your journey, huh? Why aren't you out on Route 1 yet?"

"Oh, it's quite alright," Dante replied, laughing a little. "I've seen a LOT worse than a few nips from a Charmander in my time, let me tell you." Such as trying to control a three-headed, pseudo-legendary beast... He shivered slightly. Training Xeon had been touch-and-go for the first few weeks after his evolution and Dante had spent more time at Rae's place getting treated for bites than he had spent at home. Compared with training a Pokemon that was known as "the Brutal Pokemon", a Charizard was relatively tame and a Charmander absolutely docile.

"Here, I can show you the way," Dante said, gesturing with his head in the general direction of the route. "Come on, let's get you started already."

Having sensed Dante moving out of the city and back out onto Route 1 where he'd entered Blyse Mewtwo had moved closer to the road. He was sitting hunched over in the waist high grass in ways only a cat wouldn't find uncomfortable to avoid being spotted by some green Trainer idiot that thought their newly begotten Charmander was the best and strongest thing alive. He wouldn't fight any maniac child that thought challenging him was a worthwhile waste of his time because it would only result in the poor Pokémon getting hurt and the kid blacking out as he erased their memory and moved them to a Pokémon Center. Telepathically the psychic called Dante closer to where he hid himself through a mixture of imparted visuals from his own mind and basically giving him a game of psionic Marco Polo. It was a very basic way of communicating for psychics and to be honest Mewtwo was just being lazy by not directly telling the Gym Leader where he was at.

All of his attention was rapidly diverted at the sound of what seemed to be a Pokémon battle. He allowed his powers to carry him just barely off the ground as he moved closer to what was sounding more and more like a losing fight. The Trainer was a newbie if her hesitance in giving her Pokémon commands was any indication of her skill level - which seemed to be lacking. For the moment he was content with "watching" the battle through his sixth sense and blatantly reading the girl's surface thoughts. She had no idea what she was doing despite being a late bloomer to the Trainer trade. One would think that she would have the advantage because of this but that was clearly not the case here.

Then came the moment that was the deciding factor in this match. The Trainer's starter couldn't go on because of her mistress' ineptitude and collapsed. Most normal Pokémon on the beginner routes would take that victory and walk away but the fallen Charmander's opponent - a Shinx - wasn't acting normally and was probably driven by hunger. It jumped at the defenseless girl as she held her fainted fire lizard; even weak Pokémon could do severe damage to a human. Before he could think or second guess himself the cat stood up and threw a dark sphere of energy at the feline. It was the only attack he thought to use to stop the creature and because of his superior strength the attack was super effective.

All he had to deal with now was the fact that he had allowed himself to be seen by someone other than Dante. Would Genesia's Gym Leader object to him mind-wiping the girl and anyone else who might have seen him?
