OOC: Sorry I didn't post last night! I had just found out some very sad news about my dog and I didn't feel like doing much of anything. I didn't even go to Japanese class (which I love by the way). ;_; Anywhoo, I feel a bit better today, and I'm trying to act cheery for my brother's birthday today, so, onward!
BTW, yeah, I'll lead for a while. Maybe I'll PM Zero to see what's going on.
Hiroko

"Hmph," Hiroko muttered, looking a bit annoyed, "You shouldn't be so forceful, it makes people think badly about you and it gets them a bit angry." She sounded only slightly annoyed, and had this sort of 'I'm smarter than you!' tone to her voice.
She blinked. "I'll answer your questions though. This is the path to the small town where many trainers that want to go to the new region go. The new region, Nyaru, is one where there are a large group of new pokemon. It's also a region that's very dangerous, or so I've heard," she paused while this sank in a bit, "I believe you've heard of the last pokemon discovered, Virouge? Well, when I get strong enough, I should hope to see it."
This was what Hiroko wanted to really do to impress her parents, her siblings, and everyone else. To see the pokemon that not even the greatest could see without never returning.
"I wouldn't have to catch it; it is much too powerful to be caught by a mere human. Though I would like to see it, even if it was only for few seconds. That would be enough, to prove that I alone can escape the mysterious pokemon, " she concluded, looking resolute.
It was an unrealistic dream, though Hiroko never thought of that. Death was not something that scared her.
"Ah!" Hiroko said suddenly, grabbing into her bag. She brought out a pokeball and soon Bulbasaur was standing beside her.
"I have thought of a name for you," she said to the squatty pokemon, "Your name shall be Ruri."
Bulbasaur looked a bit sleepy, but soon gaped at her trainer. {What's it mean?} she asked.
"It means emerald; you are green," Hiroko replied, nodding.
Bulbasaur cast a sideways glance at Hiroko, {All that time and I get named "Ruri"... dissapointing....}
Hiroko merely returned Ruri without noticing though, and continued walking on.
