It was a pretty average day, slow, quiet, not much going on. Yuri didn't really mind, he was starting to feel comfortable around this city, Camphoreon. Even if he still did stand out a bit, he'd made connections with a lot of the locals. This place actually had a similar feeling to Devoirue, and he'd also found its version of the Lower Quarter. Thus the man was settling in rather nicely and starting to go back to his same old routines.

One such routine was the occasional visitations to one of the local taverns. He didn't like to drink himself silly, but a few social drinks now and then didn't hurt. You could meet some interesting people there. It had already provided him with some opportunities.

That's where he happened to be walking, passing through the streets near the harbor. Repede was walking alongside him as per usual, his chopsticks having finally been discarded for a knitting needle that he'd stumbled across one day. He held the long blue thing in his mouth as he walked along, the object somewhat matching his blue coat.

Yuri carried his sword with him, which was also usual. But instead of letting it dangle from his hand, he actually had it resting on his shoulder as he walked. Acting as if it was completely natural for someone to walk around with a bladed weapon all the time. And for him, it actually was.

Though to some the day might have seemed slow, to Dove it had so far been nothing but a blur. She had just arrived in, Camphoreon, 'fresh off the boat' a few had called her when she asked for help. New people, new places, new faces and trends...it was almost overwhelming for the young model.

The young woman wandered through the clustered groups of people, eyes darting from sign to sign, looking for any sense of direction she could muster. Though a few of the locals had shown her parts of the way, she had clearly missed a turn a while back.

Lovey sat, tucked into the top of the bag that hung over Dove's shoulder, watching her trainer struggle with the map in her hand. Head tilted, she blinked, then gave a heavy sigh, flopping down further into the expensive leather satchel.

"I know, I know...." Dove sighed, looking down at the small eevee. "I'll find somewhere for us to rest..." She studied her surroundings, looking for anywhere vacant she could sit a moment, if only long enough to break open a water bottle. Her options looked slim. Very slim.

As he walked, the breeze coming from the ocean and caught Yuri's long black hair. The sunshine on this warm day also made the highlights in his hair really stand out, making his hair look more purple. The shining locks blew to the side as he continued on, the warmth and the breeze creating a rather relaxing atmosphere. Its a good thing it wasn't terribly hot today though, otherwise he'd just be miserable. That came with wearing all black, though.

Naturally, walking along the streets would cause you to pass people. Most of them typically went unnoticed as Yuri just minded his own business. Repede, though, tended to pay more attention as he kept track of the sights, and especially the scents. He was more interested in any Pokemon that came by though, and thus an Eevee caught his attention.

Despite the man passing them by, Repede stopped to pause and sniff at the little fluffy Pokemon. He wuffed a greeting, but then started to continue on once again.

Pressing her fist to her forehead, Dove sighed heavily, shoulders sagging under the weight of not only her carry-bag and Lovey, but also her frustration. This was ridiculous. Now, not only were they lost, but they would also now have to backtrack, and risk seeing the people who gave the directions earlier, showing that she had failed to even follow the simplest of instructions.

She looked down to her side, ready to ask the eevee for any opinion (though she knew she would only receive a soft peep of encouragement), when she noticed the growlithe sniffing at her bag. Watching it interact with Lovey, she stood quietly, grinning as the eevee started to wiggle in the bag. What she hadn't expected was her courage to leap from her 'nest' and chase after the new pokemon when it lost interest.

"Lovey, wait!" Dove followed quickly, not wanting Lovey to cause anyone more trouble than they already were--Dove herself had bumped into more than enough people on accident while studying her map-- and not wanting to become even more lost. However, it seemed even her strongest will would not stop the small brown pokemon; Lovey seemed to enjoy meeting new people as much as her trainer did.

Huh? Hearing someone shout and footsteps running in his direction, Yuri stopped to turn around and blink. What he saw was a girl chasing an Eevee. The Pokemon running right up to Repede.

The Growlithe himself turned around with his tail swaying, giving another "wuff" of greeting to the fluffy little Pokemon.

Yuri put a hand on his hip and smirked a little bit as he watched the interaction.

"Making friends behind my back, Repede?"

"Gruff!"

When Dove caught up to Lovey, she snatched her up, frowning down at her. "Lovey... You can't just go running off like that! We're lost enough as it is!"

The eevee shrunk into her arms, then nudged its nose against Dove's chin multiple times, making its apologies known. The girl sighed and shook her head, kissing the heart on Lovey's forehead once before setting her down at her feet and looking to the growlithe's trainer as the eevee again began to play around its new friend. "I'm sorry about that," she laughed awkwardly, embarrassed. "Lovey's just...really social, and ...still excited from our trip, I guess."

Yuri placed a hand on his hip and watched, his lips pulling back slightly in a sort of amused smile. Her apology was met with a casual wave of his hand, brushing it off.

"Don't sweat it, Repede likes other Pokemon."

"Gruff!" The Growlithe tilted his head up as if confirming this sentiment. He had sort of started it after all, although not intending to cause any trouble.

"So you're lost, huh?" Yuri then asked, not having missed the girl's exclamation just a few moments ago.

"Is it...that obvious?" she laughed, pushing a hand through her hair to reveal a prettily flushed face. "We just got here, so we're a bit...new to things, I guess you could say. Just doing some vacationing. Isn't that right, Lovey?"

Lovey wove around through Dove's legs, pressing her paws to the trainer's toes as she yipped in agreement, eyes bright with the excitement of making a new friend.

"Well yeah, kinda. You said it yourself," Yuri said with a smirk. "Can't get more obvious than that." Alright Mister Smarty-pants. Perhaps you should try... you know... being more helpful?

"Vacationing, huh. So where are you heading?" Not that he had been here all that long himself. But maybe he could help her out, if he happens to know where it is she's going.

Repede just sat himself down and yawned.

"Uh..."

Dove again, pushed a hand through her hair, sweeping it from her face. "We don't really know."

The model hadn't fully decided upon arrangements, as she had chosen to view this trip as the ultimate adventure. Sure, she would have the money to stay in any inn; money would be no problem for the wealthy young woman. But she wanted to explore, as she had at the beginning of her training when...he...had been at her side. Oh, how she missed him now...

"To be honest, we're just wandering... floating from place to place." She paused then, realizing how foolish she had been not to set proper set-points for her travels. She was alone now, and didn't have her companion to figure out the more... business-like side of things.

Lovey finally calmed and sat at her feet, posing in a playful imitation of the growlithe.

Hearing that, Yuri sighed, tilting his head up and then dropping it down dramatically. Oh brother.

"Kinda hard to get lost if you don't know where you're going."

But her explanation made a bit more sense.

"Oh yeah? Going on your own adveture?" Wait. He looked at her a bit more critically. "Oh I get it. You're one of those trainers." They did that a lot didn't they? Wandering around and stuff. It didn't sound so bad really, just going wherever you felt like. It's something he wouldn't mind doing, except he wasn't all that interested in the training part.

Repede watched as the Eevee sat, and tilted his head.

The eevee, in turn, tilted her head the same direction.

"You're right." she admitted, weakening an embarrassed smile by biting her bottom lip.

"I'm actually a coordinator from Hearthome City, but Lovey and I have decided to take a break..." She looked down at the eevee, blush deepening further. "Isn't that right?"

What she didn't bother to mention was that she was also taking a break from her career. So far, not having a down-to-the-second schedule was wonderful, if not a bit scary; she didn't quite know what to do with herself with so much free time on her hands.

"The rest of my team is at home," she explained, "and Lovey doesn't really fight, so..." She shrugged. "It's more like a long vacation, I guess. Just...without reservations."

Repede's tail flopped to the side.

This drew a slightly befuddled look from Yuri. "The hell's a coordinator?" And what the hell did they coordinate?

Mr. eloquent has spoken. Don't mind him.

"Well, I guess you're doing a pretty good job of the wandering thing if you don't know where you are. If ya need to find something though, I can probably point you in the right direction."

He's trying to be helpful, kinda.. but she actually needs to specify what she needs help with first.
PostPosted: Sun Jul 15, 2012 7:54 pm


"A coordinator?" She tipped her head, brows furrowed a bit at his crude wording and his wonder. "A coordinator is a Contest trainer. You know...? Beauty contests, Cool contests, Cute contests..."

Lovey let her tail fall to the side, mirroring her new friend.

"Okay!" Dove brightened, shifting the bag on her shoulder. "Do you know of any place we could stay the night?"

Yuri's befuddled look didn't change, except that he blinked at Dove and her explanation.

"People do that?"

He looked down at Repede. Yeah, he'd definitely never win a beauty contest, but Yuri thought he was pretty cool though. Not that he'd ever enter him in one. That's just weird.

"Yeah, I know a few. Depends on how much you wanna spend and how long you'll be there."
