1x1 The Ranges of Hoenn (title in editing) (Tala x Choco)

This RP is a thread for the use of @Tala and myself.
The current lead is that both our characters have run into each other in (undecided): one being a Pokémon Ranger (I think?) on the search for Lugia, and another a simple coordinator who has seen it before.

Name: Emily
Age: 13
Trainer Type: Coordinator
Hometown: Petalburg City
A Bit of Backstory: Starting from her town in Petalburg, and after getting the okay from both her older brother Robin and her grandmother, Emily has began her journey through Hoenn, trying her best to become Top Coordinator. However, after a failed attempt in Rustboro, and splitting ways with her rival/friend due to having to return home at one point, she continues her fight onwards to keep going and hopefully get into the next years' run. She currently has only one Ribbon of the five she needs.
Pokémon Team:
Combusken (Male): Evolved from her Starter, Torchic. Level 17. Known moves are Ember, Sand-Attack, Scratch and Peck. Blaze ability, and Jolly Nature. Tends to annoy others easily.
Wingull (Male): Caught on Route 104. Level 15. Known moves are Water Pulse, Supersonic, Mist and Wing Attack. Keen Eye. Hydratino ability, and Serious Nature. Tends to get annoyed easily. Doesn't get along with Combusken very well.
Taillow (Female): A newcomer to the team. Level 10. Known moves are Growl, Peck, Focus Energy and Quick Attack. Guts ability, with a Gentle Nature. The peacemaker among her fellow Pokémon.

 

Nice! Should we start the RP now? And should I start or do you want to?

 

Wait, first we need a starting point. Since (I assume) this would probably take place in Hoenn (or any other region if you want) we'll need a point where these two meet. Any ideas? I was thinking maybe one of the routes?

 

I think that's Route 101? Sounds cool! I'll start, then.

A chirrup from above. Taillow flew down, perching on a young girl's shoulder with a light peep.
"We're almost there? Thanks, Taillow!" Emily nodded to the bird Pokémon, continuing her trek through the first route. The last few weeks had been rather eventful, but if everything went smoothly, she would be back on her journey very soon.

 

Keeping her new member at her side, the Coordinator continued her trek forward. Route 101 was fairly straightforward, at least.

 

Emily started to pick up the pace a little more - although they weren't as strong as some opponents she had fought, getting attacked in the middle of a route by some wild Pokémon was not enjoyable.

 

"Huh? Oh, of course." Rushing up to the newcomer with Taillow gliding behind her, she stopped when close enough. "How can I help you?"

 

"Professor Birch? Oh, his lab is not too far away! I can show you the way if it's needed," Emily replied.

 

Nodding back, Emily raised a hand in greeting to the three of them. Returning Taillow for Combusken as he knew the way a bit better, she gestured for Talia and her Pokémon to follow. "I believe it's just to the south..."

 

Emily shook her head. "No, no. I've been on my journey for a while now, but... I haven't got that far. How about you?"
