Time: 6:30pm Weather: Windy and Cloudy
An arrow sign was further ahead that read 'Aura Town' and pointed left, five minutes later they reached the first house, marking the beginning of Aura. Reg stopped taking the sight in, then bit back a wide smile and cooly turned to Michi. "How 'bout we find ourselves a Pokemon Center?" A few locals on the edge of town noticed their entrance and stared as Michi and Regina walked past them and deeper into town, both keeping an eye out for the 'Center. Reggie was one of those people who would rather stick needles in their skin than ask for directions. A piece of paper flapped a few times then broke loose from it's restraints in the wind and ended its escape attempt at Reg's feet. She picked up the quivering paper and turned it over to read the front. The wind threatened to tear it from her grasp.
1000ND reward for ridding the town of its Raticate plague. For more details contact Officer Jenny.
"What do you think of this?" Regina handed the paper to Michi. "Where's the Pied Piper when you need 'im, right?" She laughed. "I think after I drop this Murkrow off at the Pokemon Center I'll investigate this. Maybe if enough trainers help out we could solve this rat problem."

Ooc:; So I thought, even though everyone takes different pathes to get there, we're all ending up in the same town so why not have all the trainers meet? And then work together, get to know each other, by helping the town out. So when you reach Aura town, if you like, post in this thread your arrival. ^^

ooc- I feel better now... | D
Michi took the thin paper and quickly scanned it's contents. "Ah... I think I'll leave stuff like that to you. I can take the Murkrows to the Pokemon Center." Michi put away her Chocobi and held the egg out to Reggie. She kept her other arm free to take the tired Murkrow in Reggie's arms right after holding the paper near the top of her head for Runty to grab. The Murkrow crowed with delight to hear it would be soon before it could be released back into the wild with it's companion.

"Okay." Reg shrugged with a lazy smile and took back the egg. "Hey could you get my Bulbasaur refreshed while you're at it? I'll meet up with you later outside the Center." Tossing the now empty package of chocolate biscuits she was eating into a nearby trashcan she then handed over the pokeball with her grass Pokemon in it.

Michi put the pokeball in her backpack and set off to the Pokemon Center. "Oh... now where would that be..." she mumbled to herself while wandering off in the wrong direction. Michi did not mind asking for directions. She just forgot that she could do that.

Regina pulled up the collar of her coat a little so her neck was protected from the wind, sticking one hand in her pocket, the other tightly wrapped around the egg, she went in the opposite direction than Michi and began roving around, seeing posters stapled up everywhere indicating how out of hand these Raticate had gotten. Reg began to wonder how many there were, and what she really could do about it.

Rounding another corner she saw a small, blue building wedged between two bigger ones. A police headquarters. She hesitated, wondering if she really wanted to get mixed up in this, after all, it wasn't her problem. After a sigh she resolved she was staying the night anyway, and it wouldn't hurt to find out what was going on. Something beeped as she pushed the door open; behind one of the desks was a woman with vibrant blue hair, leaning over some paperwork and answering two phones at the same time, her voice was commanding yet with a tone that put people at ease. Reg raised an eyebrow. Was this Officer Jenny?

Michi finally realized that she had gone in the wrong direction. After asking a local for directions, Michi turned around and headed to the Pokemon Center. She was temporarily alarmed at a falling trashcan, but she became relieved when a Raticate came crawling out. Michi began to wonder if she was going in the right direction. She felt no doubt toward the local, more like herself. She hasn't had a sense of direction ever in her life.

The woman put down one phone and seemed to be reassuring some angry person on the other before she looked up and noticed Reg. Ending the call quickly she hung up and stood up, papers flying off the desk. "What's the trouble?" She asked seriously, leaning forward. "Nothing." Reggie managed to get out, staring at the indimidating woman. "Are you Officer Jenny?" "In the flesh. Now kid, what do you need. I doubt you came all the way here to meet me." Straight to the point, right. Reg swallowed. "I want to be of help with the Raticate-" She finished weakly, fumbling for words. Jenny instantly brightened with a wide smile. "You do? That's wonderful! Got any questions?" "Millions." Reg admitted. "Well why don't you take a seat and we'll see how many I can answer." The officer removed a stack of folders from a chair and set them on her desk.

Michi walked a little further and noticed a sign pointing in the direction of the pokemon center. The Murkrow crowed cheerfully while Runty cheered. Michi walked into the small Pokemon Center as the two large, see-through doors slid aside.
ooc-I'll be at the Pokemon Center sub-forum for a little bit.

"Okay, I'll start with, what attempts have you made so far?" Jenny sighed. "We tried trapping them and leaving them far out in the forest, but they just kept coming back. We tried getting public dumpsters that could be locked, but those rats just chewed through the plasic tops. They're relentless." Throwing up her hands in mock defeat, Jenny flopped back in her chair. "I just don't know what to do." "How many of them are there?" "Not many, just about fifteen or so, but that's all you need to put a small town like this into chaos." "How long have you had this problem." Reg's questions were mechanically coming out, and looked stiff next to Jenny's dramatic answers. "Just this year, some picnikers fed the wild Pokemon and then accidently led them here." Reg nodded, accessing this information.

Reg looked at the floor and said solemnly, "So the only solution is to capture them." Jenny looked surprised. "Who wants fifteen Raticate?! Especially ones with such bad habits as these." Running over a few ideas Reg finally replied, tapping her chin with her finger. "A Safari Zone perhaps." The officer warmed up to the idea. "Yeah, I'll make the call to the nearest Zone and see if they're up for it. But there's also the actual capturing of the Raticate...that's a big job for just one rookie, if you don't mind me saying so." "More trainers might help." "But I only have 1000ND for the reward, that's not much to split up." Jenny rubbed the back of her neck sheepishly. "Make it a prize." "You mean for a competition?" Reg nodded silently.

"Boy am I glad I met you-uh-" Officer Jenny stuck out her hand. "Reggie." Reg accepted the with a small smile, tilting her head a little. "Right." Jenny beamed back then excused herself to make the call.

The door of Officer Jenny's police station slowly swung open. The boy who entered was wearing a blue jacket with gold buttons and pockets, dark blue pants, and had blonde hair and bright blue eyes. "Hello again, Officer Jenny. I just caught another Raticate," He smiled, walking forward towards her desk. "I currently have six Pokémon with me, so the Raticate was sent out to Professor Pine. I hope that's okay." He held his eyes shut, waiting for a reply. Officer Jenny simply nodded. "That's great, Jesse. I hope you find more...Reggie here is starting on this too. Good luck, you guys!" She saluted them and turned back to her work. "Hello...Reggie, pleased to meet you." Jesse extended his right hand, waiting to shake.

Reg shifted the egg and accepted his hand with a amiable smile, shaking it. Deftly her eyes assessed him, he had a sort of confidence that seperated him from the average 'rookie' genre. And if he already had six Pokemon he was obviously more experienced. Suddenly she realized she was staring and pulled her hand back. Jenny hung up and announced that the Safari Zone replied favorably to the idea. Opening a drawer in her desk she took out a few specially marked pokeballs and handed them to Jesse and Reggie. "So you don't waste your own pokeballs." She explained. "And if you see any other trainers spread the word. Oh and thanks for helping us out Jesse, we really appreciate having a great trainer such as yourself here." She smiled and opened the door briskly. "Won't get anything done standing around though! Good luck!" She encouraged, nudging them out the door. Reg laughed a little at Jenny's tactless charm then turned to Jesse, the wind flapping around her coat, "Hey, do you know where the Pokemon Center is?"

Jesse waved to Officer Jenny, that is, before he was unwillingly 'nudged' out of the door. "Thanks, I think," He joked, looking again towards Reggie and her Pokémon egg. "Yes, I do know where the Pokémon Center is. It is just down the street from here. I can go with, if you want. My Venusaur was in a very large battle with a Charmeleon and a Torchic...He needs to be healed desperately." He smiled, looking down at the small pink egg that had just wiggled. "Hmm..." He studied it closer. "If I didn't know any better, I would say you had a Corsola egg, right there. Am I correct?"

A Venusaur? She wondered curiously. "Yes of course." Reg answered when he asked if she wouldn't mind him going with her. When he mentioned the pretty pink egg she frowned thoughtfully and looked at it. "I believe so, I've never seen one before...You sound like you know a lot about Pokemon." She added, with a bit of uncharacteristic shyness, it probably wouldn't last long. They began to walk towards the 'Center, the clouds above broke in places allowing a few beams of sun down in spots, giving the town a soft look. "What Pokemon are you carrying with you now?"

Jesse, while staring up at the patches of sky without clouds, began to recite his Pokémon's names. "Well..." He started, "I currently have my Venusaur, Roselia, Lunatone, Solrock, Flareon, and Dusclops. I have had all of them for awhile, so I figured I could keep them with me for some time, now. And you currently have which Pokémon with you?" He asked inquisitively, looking down from the cloudless sploches in the sky

"A friend dropped off my Bulbasaur at the Pokemon Center for me while I went to get the low-down from Officer Jenny about the Raticate. I also recently aquired a Budew and then I have this egg. But that's it!" She smiled, sweeping her bangs out of her line of vision only to have the wind brush it back. She thought it was funny, them both having blond hair, blue eyes, though his were more bright than hers, and both had an evolution of Bulbasaur and Roselia. Reg hesistated but then asked. "What was your first Pokemon?"

A smile spread across his face. "My very first Pokémon. Well, Bulbasaur was my first Pokémon. He is now a Venusaur, of course, but that doesn't matter. We've been friends for what seems like a very long time, maybe even an eternity." He joked, looking forward on the horizon. "Maybe one day, your little Bulbasaur here will become a gigantic Venusaur. You two already have a great bond, by what I heard from you." He smiled, looking up at the Pokémon Center up ahead. "Well, ready?" He asked her, opening the door.

Ooc:; You just post your arrival into town here. Then when you get into the center of town where all the stores, etc are, you'll probably see us. ^^ This way all the trainers can meet up in this town if they want to. Unlike traveling to Aura, which could involve many different trails, Aura town is one place, so it makes since the trainers would meet up if they come at around the same time.

Reg left the Pokemon Center, leading the way down the street in a hurry, her long legs eating up the ground, edges of her elegant swing coat flicking around as the wind dropped momentarily to a small breeze. Then suddenly she stopped, blinked and turned around to face Jesse. "Where's the grocery store?" She asked with a tiny sheepish smile and a blush.
