After a rather exhausting trip to Unova, there was nothing more that young Richelle Inaku would like to do than lay down her head and rest. She was physically drained after chasing Ronnie across desert of all places. She hated hot places, hot dry places. So, that was a nightmare trip all on its own. Her Pokémon seemed to be rather well rested thanks to the fact their pokeballs must have air conditioning systems of some sort. Her Arcanine loved the scorching heat of the sun, so he was all but excited to run around out there. Ricki was just glad that he enjoyed it so much he didn’t get mad when she used him as a ride throughout the place.
If there was one thing her Arcanine hated more than rain was being used as a pack mule or mode of transportation. Ricki assumed that was the result of being raised as a show dog originally, rather than the war dog she had turned him into. Watching him battle, that little flair of showman ship always lingered with him, much to her amusement. No matter how much she trained him, he’d always be sure to leave his audience craving for more. That little thought stirred a laugh from the tired trainer as she decided to walk for the time being.
Floating alongside her, a bronsor happily bobbed up and down beside her. It was pretty excited to be out and about, always happy to move around. Ricki watched him as she walked on, making her way through Saffron City of the Kanto region. It was a pretty big city, to which she had arrived to by the Magnet Train from Goldenrod City. She was pretty sure if she hadn’t spent a night or two just trying to figure out one of the many ways back to Sinnoh, the poor woman would be so lost right now. Granted, she wasn’t entirely sure if she was heading the right direction at the moment.
“This look about right to you, Shield?” she questioned the bronzor, who let out a merry cheer of approval. She couldn’t help but chuckle a bit and give a small nod. Eyeing a map in her hands, she mumbled “Maybe I should have bothered Koa to come meet me at the train station…” The bronzor almost seemed to giggle at its trainer’s words. Glancing over at it, Ricki gave a small tired smile, before sighing and looking up. She was much more used to cities than the more so rural area she currently lived in. While she did want to get back home as soon as possible, she didn’t think it’d be a bad idea to just do a bit of sightseeing, right?
After an hour or so of just wandering about, the trainer finally collapsed onto a bench with a sigh of content. Bronzor continued his excited hovering about. He’d fly towards something, and then retreat and go towards something else. He was almost as hyper as Pester, but unlike the infamous Zigzagoon, Shield was able to control its excitement. In fact, as Ricki called for him to come back, the Bronzor did just that. He came to settle in his trainer’s lap, resting there for a bit. Though, he didn’t stay there long when he heard another noise. This one was more so familiar, though, thanks to Ricki’s husband, Koa.
Slipping from Ricki’s arms, the curious Pokemon began to drift towards the noise, and Ricki slowly got up from her seat. She had heard the guitar music as well, and was curious to see who was playing the instrument. Following Shield, the young woman headed onwards before an idea slowly crossed her mind. She’d gone all the way to Unova and left Koa home alone for a while. Maybe she could get him a present upon her return? A sort of souvenir for him, perhaps? A guitar would definitely do the trick, since he did love playing instruments. With this in mind, Ricki gave herself a curt nod and continued on towards the player.
Spotting the young woman with the guitar in the distance, Bronzor was the first to approach. It quickly sped up for a moment, whirling around to happily bop up and down to the tune being played. Ricki came a few moments later and paused at the sight before her. While she couldn’t see the other’s face, since she was approaching from behind, she could tell this young woman had green hair as well. “Hey you, with the green hair!” Ricki called out to get her attention. The bronzor looked up at its trainer when she called out, still rolling around to the tune. Should it stop, he’d probably continue to do so to an imagined tune in his head.
Mireille didn't realize how tough, and also how lonely, it would be to be a pokemon trainer. Her first day went rather smoothly, and she had met a fellow trainer like herself. Maelys... He was a very nice person. She smiled and remembered the day that was spent with him. Someday, she hoped she'd see him again. After parting ways, she made her way to a hotel and stayed the night. Another day was spent exploring Vermillion City and all it had to offer. However, upon realizing that the gym leader there was way too strong for her, she decided she'd make her way to the beginning of the Pokemon League challenge. Pewter City was where she needed to go next.
A short venture along route six led her into the hustling and bustling city of Saffron. In a way, she had not wanted to stay in the city. It reminded her of home, and in the depths of her mind, she felt almost homesick. On the other side of the coin, her home was why she wanted to leave. Mirelle was already getting a sort of love-hate relationship with this city. But she decided to give it the benefit of the doubt, and she made her way through the streets.
She had made her way into a few shops, but everything seemed to be out of her budget. Perhaps she could save her money and get something nice another time. She had to focus on saving her money for places to stay, as well as food and other necessities. There was a fountain not too far from the shop she had ventured into, so she decided she'd sit along the ledge. Mireille stared down at the bubbling water, smiling as she noticed all of the pennies and nickels that were thrown into the water. "Say, Hoshi," she looked to her Shinx, who had already found himself a spot on the ledge, "What do you think all those people wished for? Do you think they came true?" The Shinx yawned indifferently, and if he had shoulders to shrug, that's exactly how he'd react. He didn't really care, but he was used to her peppy attitude. He laid down to rest, and Mireille took the hint. After a slight giggle, she nodded. "Okay, Hoshi. We can rest here for a bit."
What better way to pass the time than to perhaps play a bit of guitar? Even though she couldn't afford some of the items in the shop, playing her guitar was always free. She pulled out her pink acoustic guitar and settled it into her lap. Soon, a soft melody hummed from her lips as she strummed. The pace picked up into something a bit more lively and happy. Mireille closed her crimson eyes as she let herself get immersed in the tune.
Soon enough, Mireille had a visitor. She hadn't noticed the little Bronzor at first; it was her Shinx who had made a slight sound at it's arrival. Mireille stopped playing for a moment, startled that there was suddenly company. But after taking notice of the Bronzor's dancing, Mireille giggled. "Do you like that tune, little one?" A wide smile graced her face and she began to sing and play louder for the Bronzor. This went on for a few moments before she suddenly heard someone yelling at her. At least, she assumed it was at her. Who else had green hair?
Mireille blinked at the other lady. She had green hair as well. Her music lulled to a stop and she smiled politely up at the woman. "Hello," she bowed her head in greeting, "Is this your Pokemon?" Mireille looked over at the Bronzor, who was still dancing despite her having stopped playing. A soft giggle escaped her lips and she smiled up at the woman again. "It's adorable. I think he liked my music."

It wasn’t often Ricki ran into a familiar face, and she was sure she wouldn’t be doing so out here in another region she’d never been to. As far as she knew, none of her friends or family were currently travelling the region of Kanto, or Johto for that matter. If anything, they were all pretty much hiding away in Hoenn for a while. She was the only person this side of the continent that she knew. Or, so she believed. She had called out to the green haired guitar player that was currently charming her Bronzor with her music. The moment she turned around, Ricki had to stop for a moment to register what she was seeing.
Bronzor gladly acted as a distraction while Ricki absorbed the view. Shield the Bronzor swung down to quickly scan the guitar with a curious gaze. The bronze Pokemon nudged a string with it’s nose, before jolting back and hopping up and down excitedly. He seemed to buzz around Mireille for a moment, absolutely in love with the music she’d recently been playing. As he continued his show of excitement, Ricki gathered herself. She hadn’t expected to see someone so familiar, despite the fact she knew very well that this girl was someone she had never met before. It took a moment for Ricki to even realize just why she looked so familiar.
She looked nearly identical to herself when Ricki’s hair had been short. The resemblance was close enough for the two to possibly be cousins of sorts, but Ricki was pretty sure she’d met all of her cousins on her mother’s side at this point. She just studied Mireille for a moment, before recalling the other green haired girl had spoken to her. “Oh uh…” Ricki blurted at first, before rubbing the back of her neck, realizing she’d been gawking a bit. “Yeah, that’s Shield. He really enjoys music, if ya can’t tell” she joked with a grin, regaining her confidence as the Bronzor zoomed up to her. Ricki came to a stop in front of Mireille, still a bit caught off guard by just how much they looked alike.
“My husband actually plays guitar himself” she informed, dropping down to sit next to Mireille. She didn’t bother to ask, her mind processing the fountain ledge as an open seat to the world. Shield made its way to Ricki and promptly settling down on her lap. She brought her arms up to hug the Pokemon loosely; making sure it was as comfy as she was. When the bronze Pokemon settled down, Ricki looked back to Mireille and smirked at the sight of the pink guitar. “So, where’d ya get that guitar, um…” Ricki trailed off and paused, realizing she hadn’t asked for the other’ name before taking a seat. She paused and chuckled a bit. “Sorry. The name’s Richelle Inaku, Ricki for short. And you would be…?”
The staring had made Mireille feel slightly uncomfortable. Was there something on her face? She had eaten a sandwich earlier... Perhaps there was mustard on it? Mireille had no clue. Ricki was just staring... Mireille looked down at her guitar and plucked a few strings. The other girl had then started to say something, so Mireille looked back up. "Shield the Bronzor..." she repeated to herself. "It's nice to meet you!"
Mireille's eyes followed her again as she sat down beside her. That didn't bother Mirielle in the slightest. As Ricki had thought, she too thought it was a public place and anyone could sit there if they so pleased. She placed her guitar on the other side of her, so that the head wouldn't be in her face. "I'm sure your husband doesn't play a pink guitar, though~" Mireille chirped. It wouldn't be a bad thing if he did. She was just teasing~ She found it neat that her husband played guitar. She also found it neat that she was married! Ricki looked so young~
When asked about her own guitar, Mireille patted it softly. "I've had this thing for years. My parents gave it to me as a birthday gift." Mireille smiled and held her hand out for a handshake as she introduced herself as well. "My name's Mireille. It's nice to meet you, Ricki!" Normally her little Shinx didn't care about meeting new people, but he felt left out so he made a soft grunt. "Oh, yes. That's Hoshi. I'm surprised he even cared enough to make a noise!" She giggled and picked up the little lion pokemon. "He acts all tough, but he knows I care for him!"
The little shinx did not seem pleased as Mireille coddled him. Deep down, he did think the pets felt nice, but he had to remain tough!

TAGS Mireille Oliver WORDS 350 NOTES The person who RPs Ricki's husband dropped from the site a couple days back, unfortunately. So, this'll be one of the last threads of Ricki being married.
[/font][/b]” That was a bit of a mouthful Ricki noted and debated a nickname for a moment, before figuring she’d just wing it as far as that came.
Regarding her previous comment, Ricki chuckled and looked up, her eyes locking on her Bronzor. “No, no he wouldn’t. He’d probably think I’m messing with him if I got him a pink guitar” she admitted with a grin. Reaching up, she pushed her Bronzor back, causing the floating Pokémon to drift back before he flew back forward to knock into her hand. It almost looked like it might hurt to have the metal Pokémon hit her hand so hard, but Ricki didn’t grimace or show a painful response. She merely laughed and shook her hand, waving off the pain, and whacking Shield back, again. The Bronzor began rolling in amusement, flying down next to his trainer to nuzzle into her side. As he did, Ricki looked down at the other trainer’s Pokémon and smiled at the Shinx with a chuckle.
“Ah, my husband has a Shinx who is a lot like that” she commented, smirking slightly at the little lion cub like Pokémon. “Going to be a big tough Luxray someday, right?” she asked, before looking up at Mireille with a curious look. “So, are you a coordinator or trainer? Maybe a breeder, or do you just have a Shinx?” she questioned, wondering what this other’s girls plans for hanging out with this little guy at her side. [/div][/font][/ul]
