[Seraphina King]

Seraphina was no resident of Mavro City. But she didn't need to be to feel comfortable walking around the streets going wherever she wanted. During the earlier portion of her life where she traveled a great deal, the cities always seemed to have the most to do and see. Mavro was no different. She had just gotten done eating at some food stand and decided to do a bit of window shopping. She hadn't visited the city yet, despite being at the academy for a few weeks now. She figured it would be good to get to know the place a bit and learn where everything was.

She was dressed in a track outfit, since she didn't feel like drawing attention to the fact that she was an academy student. Wearing a uniform felt kind of tacky and certainly wasn't as comfortable. To be specific, it was a black track suit and pants with some white running shoes. Simple, and easy to keep clean-looking. After all, black clothing didn't show off stains like light colors did. Her hair was done up in its usual fashion with a side ponytail, and in her mouth was some sort of local treat that she got off one of the food stands. With her hands in her pockets, she kept up with the other people walking along the streets, occasionally stopping to look inside a window. Perhaps there would be something cute that she could take back to her room.

But most importantly, she was just getting used to where everything in the city was. Her years of experience dictated how important that sort of thing was for her. If she was in a hurry somewhere, needed to escape, or otherwise, having a mental map of the city would prove to be useful.

If one would look down the street they'd see a Snorunt making a mad dash. Within her tiny spherical hands was a bowl of ice cream. Even more fascinating is that the Snorunt wore a black cap on her head. Very far from the Snorunt is an exasperated girl with long black hair. She skidded in front of a poor innocent child and grabbed them, shook them for a few moments and demanded answers in her own special way.

"Snorunt! What direction?!" The frightened child could only meeklky point. Meili made a mad dash as she confirmed the run away Snorunt. "Xue! Come back with my ice cream and mY HAT!" The Snorunt continued to run. She looked left and right and was starting to get tired. Her trainer was making a big deal out of ice cream and a hat huh?

Xue spotted a girl taller than her own trainer. Surely hiding behind this person shall allow her to evade Meili? The Snorunt quickly darted behind the girl's legs. Meili weakly ran over toward the girl. She was tired, her legs were screaming, and that Snorunt better not...!

CHOMP

Meili sighed as she watched her Snorunt take a bite out of her ice cream. Wasn't Xue cold enough as it is?! She looked over at the girl.

"Hey..." She weakly waved. "My Snorunt...get...hat..." Meili took a large deep breathe. Yeah, she needed to start jog training.

Staring into one of the shop windows, Seraphina felt something cold brush up against her leg. She thought she was imagining it at first, until she looked down and saw that a little Snorunt was right up against her. What the hell? This was one of the Pokemon she was familiar with by name. She always found these little guys kinda cute. So much, that she went so far as to pick the little guy up and give it a look over. Was this someone's Pokemon? It had an ice cream in its hand. Or at least what was left of it. Seraphina's first instinct was to look around for an owner, but that proved to be unnecessary. One look to the side revealed the likely owner. A smaller girl who seemed to be out of breathe was looking right at them and trying to say something.

She held out the little guy in her hand. This one yours? I think he ate your ice cream. Then again, Snorunt was an ice type. It could just be a snack the trainer bought for him. He was a bit cold to the touch, but nothing that Seraphina couldn't handle. Holding onto it just briefly gave her a slight bit of satisfaction anyway, as she had never held one in her hand before.

[Meili Jie]

This one yours? I think he ate your ice cream. Meili looked dejected as she watched Xue eat the last of her ice cream. She weakly nodded as she reached out for the Snorunt but the little hat laughed and jumped out of the girl's arms. She groaned as she detached Xue's pokeball from her belt. It wasn't there was any ice cream to drop anymore. She opened the ball and Xue was sucked in. The bowl and the hat dropped on to the ground. The two glared at each other for a moment before she reattached the belt.

"Phew..." Meili picked up her hat and the bowl as she then laid on the shop window to rest herself. "Sorry if my Snorunt caused any trouble." She eyed the girl for a moment. A track outfit? Definitely more casual than the purple Academy uniform she wore. Meili dusted her skirt and bowed politely to the girl. One of the locals? Who knew at this point.

[Seraphina King]

Well, this girl didn't seem to happy about that. Maybe she didn't actually give the ice cream to her Pokemon? She could see that being the case. This girl seemed to be a student of the Academy, going by her uniform. That was. . . Mana dorm, right? Or did another dorm have a purplish uniform to go along with it.

The girl seemed really apologetic though, going as far as to bow. Ah, no. It was nice seeing one of those little guys. I haven't seen one in years back in Hoenn. That was while she was travelling around. Of course, she never stayed near the cold places very long. But she was around long enough to see a couple of them once or twice. I'm actually just looking around since I've never taken the time to explore the city yet. I wanted to get a good feel for it for the next time I come back. Meaning, it'd be pretty hard to bother her unless someone went out of their way to prevent her from browsing whatever she wanted.

[Meili Jie]

"Ah, no. It was nice seeing one of those little guys. I haven't seen one in years back in Hoenn." Meili looked at the girl in curiosity. So this one traveled before? "I'm actually just looking around since I've never taken the time to explore the city yet. I wanted to get a good feel for it for the next time I come back." Meili could understand...and now come to realize that she wasn't too familiar with the place she is living on for schooling.

"I see..." Meili thought for a moment. Maybe this girl can help her get around. She was exploring after all. Plus she could lead to some good battles. "Know any place outside the school with a lot of trainers then? I'm trying to get some practice in for my team." Plus they might learn a bit of discipline if they fight together.
