"God.. That was a.. A lot more stairs than I thought there.. Would be." Avery wheezed, once she had made it to the top of the stairs, Fable still being dragged through the air by arm. The Sableye still had a smile on his face, obviously still amused by the whole thing. By now Avery's best interest was in ignoring him, although she allowed him return to the ground when he requested that she do so once she had uttered her last sentence.
"Now let's see.. Everyone's lining up at that desk, so let's do that, too!" Avery exclaimed enthusiastically, that is, once she had regained her breath. The place where the stairs let off were basically right next to the lift, so it was no wonder that she was able to spot the registration desk so quickly, as well as the line of Trainers still forming in front of it.
{For all you know everyone's lining up for some PokeNav promotion.} Fable muttered from his spot near Avery's feet, although he made no protest when the Trainer moved towards the line of Trainers, remaining near her feet at all times.
Eventually it was her turn to speak to the woman behind the desk, and Avery, just being herself, enthusiastically approached without hesitation.
"This is where you sign-up for the tournament, right?" Avery asked, smiling, although the woman behind the counter merely threw her a bored glance, as if Avery was the three-hundred eighty-seventh person to ask that question.
"Yes yes, if you would like to sign up, just give me some form of I.D." The woman replied in a just as bored tone.
Avery didn't give a proper answer, just digging around in that black sling bag of hers for a few moments before producing what appeared to be a normal PokeNav, which was midnight blue in skin color.
"One moment, please." The woman said, taking the PokeNav from Avery. She was bored, that much one could tell, but apparently trying to be polite was in the job description. A few moments later, information about Avery was displayed on the computer screen, and the woman turned to address Avery once again.
"Avery Williams, fourteen years of age, from Mauville City, is this correct?" She asked, Avery merely nodding and replying with an enthusiastic 'Yes!'.
"And.. The Pokemon you will be using in the tournament are.. A Sableye, Lairon, Duskull, and an Umbreon. Is this correct?" The woman asked again. Avery's response was exactly the same as last time.
"Very well. One more moment." The woman said, before entering something into the computer, then handing over Avery's PokeNav. "Prelims are in three hours, you may explore the city and such until then. Have a nice day." The woman said, mustering a small flicker of a smile before gesturing towards the next Trainer in line.
{Where will Avery and Fable go now?} Fable piped up from his spot on the ground, once Avery had walked away from the registration desk. He latched onto Avery's leg, making short work of climbing all the way up to her shoulder.
"Um.. Three hours, huh? Well, I dunno, let's go hang out with someone." Avery replied, instantly surveying the room. "Hey, there's that girl that was by the lift earlier! Although it was kind of hard to notice her over that Valen dude and that Bayleef Trainer. I guess it wouldn't hurt to say 'hi'." Avery exclaimed, gesturing towards Reina.
{Or would it?} Fable stated, twisting his head at an odd angle, once again for his own amusement of watching people recoil in disgust. Avery didn't notice, she was already walking over to Reina's location.
"Hiya! Saw ya by the lift earlier! If you wouldn't mind me asking, what're ya gonna do with these three hours and all? Mostly because I can't think of anything." Avery exclaimed, not even bothering to state her name.
{Introduce yourself, lunatic.} Fable exclaimed, elbowing his Trainer in the neck after he had done so.
"Oh yes, and my name's Avery. This is Fable." Avery continued, wincing from the impact of Fable's elbow and gesturing towards the Sableye when he was mentioned.
