"You know, I'm still not comfortable with you and Muffy battling."
"Why? We're just as able as you and Umbria!"
"It's dangerous. And we might get seperated."
"Oh, don't be a worry-wart. Afterall, it's not like we'll always be together."
Just outside of Goldenrod city sat two raven-haired teenagers, sitting on the edge of the land with their feet in the vast ocean. The girl, almost a mirror image of the boy, has long hair and wore a red and white kimono. The boy, almost a mirror image of the girl, had short, spikey hair and wore what appeared to be but wasn't necessarily a black school uniform.
Just a little down the dirt, a very young pink-haired girl with strange cone-like ears and tail protruding from her body layed in the grass. She wasn't asleep, but soaking up the sunshine happily. With one hand, she flicked the salty water subconciously and with the other she pet a small Umbreon (Umbria) that layed on her stomach, curled in a ball. She appeared to be sleeping, but the pink-haired girl (a flaaffy in her human form: Muffy) couldn't tell.
The female teenager in the kimono, Nina, kicked at the water in frusteration. In her hand was her brother's fishing rod. They decided to take a break from all their traveling and came back home for a little while. But, being the restless pair they were, they were still training even during rest. It's been hours since even a nibble crossed the line.
"Agh, let's just give this up," Suggested the boy, Vincent, with a large sigh.
"Poopie. Fishing is so hard," Whined Nina, pouting like a little girl.
They packed it up and headed for the Pokemon Centre to refresh their Pokemon, from there it was anybody's guess.
Refreshed and renewed, Muffy and Umbria reverted to their human forms after being released from their Pokeballs. Umbria was slender and about the height of an average 16-year-old human, clad in a black kimono with golden sleeves and obi. She also has a crown of gold that was in the shape of an "o".
"Where to now?" Questioned Nina to her brother, the four of them standing under the shade of the monorail overpass to hide from the blistering heat.
"Dunno," Vincent admitted, wiping his forehead with exhaustion.
Bored out of her mind, Muffy quietly slipped away from the three of them and went exploring in the familiar city. She arrived at the dock in time to watch a couple ships sail off and a few small boats come in. Every boat had at least one Pokemon in it, whether visible or inside, human form or creature form. Pokemon had a way of sensing other Pokemon nearby. She smiled perkily to the passersby as they came onto the city streets, but nobody seemed to care.
