Pokémon: The Song of the Elements (IC thread)

She decided to go to daimond travern which is full of travelers, adventurers and marchants. One hour later after running and walking under the bright sun she reached daimond travern. She made her path at the center of travern and approached a random person, wishing to find useful information. "sir, do you know about minstrel brock?" she said in a polite way. " and how can i reach him?" she added. Without letting man who was standing in front of her speak,she continued. "do you know where he is right now?"

 

Leon blushed. "Oh! It's nothing, really! I had to come back for you!"
Even if it was a friend he had known for a matter of hours. He was surprised that despite the massive crowds and the bustling of noise, his cries had actually reached Michelle's ears. Now here she was, standing in front of him, appearing out the crowd.
"Anything for a friend," he said through smiles. "It should be my fault. Really, there's no need to be sorry, since I left you in the first place!"
Now it was Michelle's turn to laugh.

Leon was still aware of the people nearby and those that gave him looks of either confusion or amusement. He ignored them, though.
They walked together through the town square once more, and Leon was cautious of trying not to lose Michelle in the crowds again. As it happened, they were back in Argenta's town square. The business and constant chatter of people gathering together could have been enough the air shake. But the atmosphere was at least hearty.

"On the plus side, while I lost you, I think I found where the honourable Brock might be," he said. "That is, at the adventurer's guild. We can head there now if you like."
Michelle looked like she was about to say something, but Leon hastily added, "B - But we go together! No way am I going to shout and embarrass myself in front of half of the population again, just for you!"

 

Michelle chuckled, 'no worries, now I know more.' As she walked behind him . 'In the guild uh.' While thinking she stood still again. Returning to earth seeing Leon further ahead, running behind him

 

Not long after, Leon approached the adventurer's guild again.

"Right... Here we are," Leon remarked. He finally re-entered the guild commons.
Once again, he saw the usual adventurers gathering around the job bulletin board and taking down requests altogether. New requests were posted as fast as those taken down. As well, there were plenty of teams assembled just like Leon remembered, but like the job requests there were teams assembling as soon as other teams were walking out.

The only difference was that Michelle would be actually behind Leon. Hopefully, he wouldn't lose her again.
"So, uh, he should be around here, in this guild," Leon muttered. "Do you see him, Michelle?"
While looking, Leon straightened his hat to have a better view and to appear nicer too.

 

The mage nodded. "I see. So to say, we're pardoned from death as long as we strive to defeat Lysandre?" she thought. Oh well, so long as world peace can be assured.

She sipped at her glass, when she saw a young man in a hat with another girl around her age in tow. The fact that they seemed frantic made her wonder. Were they looking for Brock too?

 

Ashley advanced her path to the adventure guild. After moving a short distance she confirmed that she was on the right path towards the adventure guild. In front of her was the gathering of adventurers who were ready for any adventure. Account of all adventures are also maintained there. Apart from the noise of adventurers she can hear the sweet and beautiful melody that was coming from somewhere inside the guild. 'that must be minstrel brock' she said to herself. Following the melody, she enters a hall. " minstrel brock, are you here" she shouted so that everyone can hear her.

 

Michelle walked towatds brock. 'Glad to finally...' she stoppes talking, when she heard the noise. Michelle turnee around to see another girl standing in the door way of the guild.
Gazing yhe other way, noticing also a girl standing near Brock.
Her old self, which shr maintaned untill meeting Leon returned. To an pperson who loves to talk, to one who didn't say anything in front of stranger making her look darker than a ffew minutes before she encounterd damn. She turned back to Brock. 'I'm Michelle anf came upon thiss letter that you send to me' in a way she said it, was ot more a duty to dp this instead of going on a huge adventure

 

Leon followed Michelle towards to the music - and subsequently to Brock. Upon seeing Brock, the first reaction Leon had was that edge of shyness as if he didn't know how to react to him, since he had hardly interacted with people dressed as extravagantly as Brock. The clothes of red, purple, and gold.
It didn't help there was a slightly plump girl beside him who was also looking at him and Michelle, alongside Brock.
Suddenly, Leon didn't feel like talking. He did try to keep a cool mind, but he had nothing more to say.

Instead, still keeping a cool mind and a very neutral expression, Leon opted for formality as he always had practiced with the SBC.
He didn't say too much either, and considered removing his hat, but he was a bit too nervous to do it. He reached into his bag to present Brock with the letter, but not before bowing down out of respect.
"Milord. My name is Leon. Leon Pinetree," he introduced. "From Raisu, and formerly of Sapphire Bay Company."

 

Leon had no idea if he should speak first or not. Apart from Michelle, Leon was uncomfortable enough already in front of a group of people he didn't know. But the story seemed to have gained his interest. From what he could see in Brock, he was downright terrified.
What have I got into now? Leon thought.
But as he put Brock's letter back into his bag, Leon felt the familiar smoothness of the seashell he carried. Did he feel sad somehow when he touched it? His face showed it, and then he figured he had to talk.

"May I ask if this Lysandre has this harp, milord?" Leon asked. He hoped to only stir up a bit of conversation, but not too much.

 

"Alright!" she nodded. Then she turned to the others. "Sorry, I forgot to introduce myself. I'm Annika. Annika Crosse, from Sinoch ~!" She beamed at the fact that she was meeting new people very fast, and that these were going to be her allies for now.

 

Ashley was standing there listening to everything Brock was saying carefully. She was ready to help Brock in any way possible. "Okay!" she said after listening what Brock said.And then she heard a girl introducing herself. "Nice to meet you Annika, I am Ashley and i am from a town that no longer exists, after the crisis there,i travelled through different places" She said in response to Annika and smiled.

 

Leon gratefully accepted the Angel Ring given to him and afterwards turned to faced the other two travelers.
A ring that protects our spirits if we fall, eh? That's incredible, he thought, as he put the ring into his bag. Although he was still nervous, he approached the two girls - Annika and Ashley - anyway. Michelle still stood just as shy as he was, whereas Leon took his approach calmly.
"My name is Leon. Leon Pinetree," he said in a small voice. "I'm from Raisu."
The fact that there were smiles on these two girls' faces made Leon even more uncomfortable. Should he feel welcome by them? Or not? Ashley's case worried him too. Just how could she talk about the demise of her home and yet still smile?

He kept his head and hat down, still wondering what he had gotten into. After a moment, he stepped back a little to rejoin Michelle, someone he had warmed up to most part due to her humorous first impression, but that was all.
Leon did sneak a look at Brock's map to familiarise himself with Kanduin's geography, for few seconds.

 

"Nice to meet you too" Ashley said to Leon. She noticed that Leon and another girl is bieng little shy and decided to start a conversation first. "Leon, its a nice name. So, you responded to Brock's plea for help. So, according to it you both are my allies and we can be friends too if you want." She co.tinued. She was still smiling. Suddenly her thoughts changed. 'We have to help Brock , before that evil lysandre come to know about it' she thought. Her expression changed from happy to serious. She almost forgot about Leon and the another girl. Her gaze was shifted from them to floor.

 

While looking aroun seeing everyone introducing themselfes she did the aame
"My name is Michelle, and im from Fayen"
Turnig to Brock. "There is only one thig that is botherig me. Why us?" Ignoring everyone around them seeing Leon next to her. Winkinh at him saying its okay. Turning back a cold expression came over her face. "I almost fully saved Fayen or maybe more. I need to get back soon as the fire and water masters arent done destroying everything. However I need certain magic to stop them and save y home town. How can I be certain I find it here ad doiny some quest for you, " she sighed. Loosen her expression. "I wanted to say is why choosig the four of us while wr are busy to find some lyssandre guy" michelle was shaking a little.

 

On one hand, Leon considered Ashley's words to be... to the point, but he was a bit shy to say anything back.
We're allies so therefore we're friends?! That's a way to put it, he thought.

But seeing Michelle like this sort of unsettled him so he had to interrupt before Brock could say anything. Leon didn't mean to be impolite though. Although Michelle had just given him a wink (to which he supposed he should be relieved), she was a little on the shaky side!
"Wait, you're from Fanyan too?" he said. "But your hometown..."
A thought crossed his mind. A trader at Raisu spoke of this, he thought. What was it, the Collapse of Myokara?
"You're from Myokara, aren't you?" he whispered to Michelle. "I'm sorry."

On the other hand, Leon saw that Michelle's requests had some merit, since he had his own reasons for coming here.
"Milord," he said. "I also have something I bring to you. I may not work for the SBC anymore, but I answer to your request also because my younger cousin has fallen ill to a foreign sickness to he point where she can't move her legs. What I ask is in exchange for my service, that would you know anything about treating this condition?"
He didn't know if he felt weird asking something like this, but he had to ask. Turning to Michelle for a moment, he shrugged.

Lastly he looked at Ashley. "Good to meet you, Ashley."
