Red didn't know why but it felt like yesterday now that he looked back at his past. It was upon these grounds that his legend was born. It all began here. The little boy gains his first pokemon and sets out to travel across the world. He fought evil and made a lot of friends along his way. Red have always dreamed of becoming the world's strongest trainer since he was a child. It was his unrivaled confidence that allowed him to cling upon such a childish dream. Eight years later , now he stood in front of the small town where all began. He could say that he somehow succeeded on accomplishing his dreams though he was still not satisfied yet.
Red stood below a sakura tree as he stared at the little town that laid in front of him. He was close yet a fair amount of distance was in between him and the town. The fresh climate of the summer offered a relaxing atmosphere. Red felt at peace and calm. He couldn't feel any better now that a feeling of nostalgic was gradually growing inside of him. He wanted to give everyone within the town a small surprise. He was back and he wanted to see just how much the town have changed. ''This sure feels old.'' He said with a pleasant grin.

Her Sawsbuck stopped in the middle of the nice, galloping pace they had. The force of the break would normally throw someone off, but Stellar had rode her Pokemon long enough to know how to adjust her body at all the right times.
The trainer flicked her long hair aside, marveling at the town they were about to pass by. Such a quaint, little town; she would have missed it if she didn't notice it, with how fast her Sawsbuck run.
Oh look, there were even sakura trees.
Suddenly, Wystra look at another direction, and Stellar looked to where the Pokemon is looking as well. No wonder, another trainer. Or civilian. Or maybe something else.
She really want to know a little about this quaint, little town. Information is always useful, she kept in mind.
Tapping on Wystra's shoulder, she directed the Sawsbuck to where the person is, intending to ask more about the town. He is most likely from here, right? The Sawsbuck grunted a little, not very happy with the idea. What if the other person is dangerous?
"Hey," Stellar called out gently, "Are you from that little quaint town, by any chance?" Try to look as nonthreatening, look innocent, because this kind of facade always gets her more information.

''Of course I am! What would you need!? '' Red asked as his expression suddenly turned into that of a delightful and friendly one. He was fairly embarrassed right now because he was talking to a girl but he still managed to remain cool. Pika who was playing along the branches of the sakura tree quickly hopped down and landed on the right shoulder of Red before leaving out a small squeal. ''Pika-Pi!''
''Haha sorry for the lack of introduction! I'm Red and this is my pal Pika.'' He greeted while pointing at his best friend. ''You look like you're lost. Not from around here are you?'' He questioned before suddenly becoming silent again. Although it didn't appear , Red was nervous inside. The last time he talked to a girl was perhaps a few years ago and things were almost about to get into an awkward situation for him. Was he too social? Did he talked too much? Red didn't want to appear as an annoying lad in the eyes of others. He had to make sure that he just made a polite impression.

To say Wystra is shocked is an understatement too.
Red's enthusiasm had caught the grass Pokemon off guard, and and Sawsbuck raised up on her hind legs, threatening Red to not come too near. Stellar nearly got thrown off; it's only her years of instinct, of riding this particular Pokemon that prevented that from happening. One of her hand already reached for a pokeball to fight if needed, before she belatedly realized what the other person had truly said.
With that, she said in a stern voice, "Wystra, it's fine." The Sawbuck froze, almost unsure, before landing on four again, and Stellar hopped of it's back.
"I'm so sorry!" she apologized, first an foremost, "She gets easily agitated, you see. I hope you aren't hurt." Stellar sighed lightly. She won't admit that she was a little shocked at the stranger's...openness. It's such a strange thing, so social. Stellar think that it's because she had been stuck in that war for so damn long that such social-ness is rare, because everyone doesn't trust each other anymore. Not here though. She had to keep reminding herself that these regions aren't touched by war.
"I'm Stell," she introduced herself, "And this is Wystra. And again, I'm so sorry for earlier." Her Sawsbuck shook her head, looking slightly disgruntled. "I'm not really lost, I think. I was just travelling around, when I notice that quaint little town. I wanted to know, what town is that? Since you are from there and all." She smiled shyly, half of it being a ruse, half of it being genuine, because she really can't remember how to be socially acceptable in a peaceful place at all.

''Haha no worry...'' Red laughed while putting his two hands up. He knew that she meant no harm though her deer look alike pokemon still managed to freak him out. Pika was about to enter in an aggressive stance as well before Red patted it's head to tell him that everything was ok. ''Shell that's a beautiful name! And the small town is named Pallet. Here for a visit I suppose?'' Without noticing how meddlesome he was , Red began to ask his questions again. He actually had so much questions right now that he would like to ask them all at once. Like where did she come from. What sort of pokemon did she have and could he scan her pokemon with his pokedex.
Talking about pokedex ! Red quickly grabbed a red cellphone like gadget out of his pocket as he opened it up and pointed it toward the mysterious deer like pokemon. ''Do you mind?'' He asked before the machine took a picture and scanned. '' Sawsbuck, the Season Pokémon, and the evolved form of Deerling. The plants on Sawsbuck's horns change depending on the time of year, and people often use them to measure the passing of the seasons.'' A robot voice came out of the machine before it closed leaving Red in an intrigued state. ''That's a familiar pokemon! It's amazing! It's been such a long time since I last saw one of these!'' He exclaimed before attempting to approach the creature. It's like that he had completely forgotten it's aggressiveness from earlier. To meet a new pokemon for him was everything about his adventure. Being the strongest trainer was just a way of saying things though his real goal remained to explore the world and meet every kind of pokemon there is.

Pallet Town, huh? She have heard of this town's name quite often, they called it the starter town, don't they? "I just happen to pass by and notice that it's such a beautiful town, so yeah, maybe I'll take a look around," she chuckled a little.
And the next moment caused her to blink, looking curiously at the device in Red's hands. "No?" she really wasn't sure what she's suppose to mind for, but unconsciously she's playing with one of her pokeballs again, just in case that machine does harm to Wystra somehow.
Both trainer and Sawsbuck got a shock when the pokedex just started talking. It's an encyclopedia of some sort? Weird. Really weird. Barely, just barely, Stellar remembers an old friend of hers, speaking of people who collects information. Maybe Red is like that? A researcher?
Wystra snorted, slightly worried about Red's incoming hand. The Sawsbuck look at Stellar almost worriedly, but the girl stared back.
'Don't worry. Let him be. He doesn't seem harmless.'
They knew each other long enough to be able to understand each other like that, at the very least. And Wystra trusts Stellar too much to doubt her now. The Sawsbuck bowed down slightly, allowing Red's approach.
"So, Red?" Stellar look at the Pikachu on his shoulder. Hmm, cute. "Are you a researcher? You seem to collect information."

Red could tell that the Sawbuck was really well taken cared of. This was also a sign that often indicated a trainer's personality. ''You could say that but I consider myself as a trainer though most of the people within the regions prefer to call me the champion.'' He grinned embarrassingly as pika giggled and got down from his shoulder. Pika noticed that Stel was staring at him and immediately ran to her side before running in circle. It was a sign that he liked her and was enjoying her company. ''Pika! Pika-Pi!''
''Sorry for that.. He must be a little bit overexcited.'' He said while scratching the back of his head. The truth was that they secluded themselves upon a Mt.Silver and trained for a few years there hence why socializing with people became so awkward right now. They weren't used to it anymore. Especially Red who always had trouble with the ladies. Let's just say that he wasn't really as talented in that domain as he is with pokemon. ''Mhmm.. This is great! Maybe I could be your guide and present the town to you?'' He said with an unsure tone as that was totally a lie. Red only proposed to guide her so he could talk longer with her longer. He was intrigued by her pokemon and by what ever story she had to offer.
"Champion?" Stellar is now trying to figure out just what is he champion of. The most obvious would of course, be the Pokemon Champion. She's doubting her luck though; there is no possible way to just randomly meet the Pokemon Champion out of nowhere, right? Aren't they extremely busy people?
Stellar reached down to pat Pika, just briefly. Pikachus are an electric Pokemon, and she knows just how easily they can knock a person out. She dare not gamble now. She still doesn't know Red that well yet after all. "He's cute," she commented.
The lady blinked up at Red, a smile on her face. "That would be wonderful, yes," the knowledge could assist her after all, "I hope you don't mind Wystra walking with us, she needs the sun." And she wants one of her Pokemon out at all times, just in case anything happens. If Wystra isn't allowed she could release her Leafeon instead, the excuse would be roughly the same after all.
"So are you born in Pallet town?" she asked, hoping to lighten up the mood. Sometimes, Red seems social enough, exuberant enough. Then in a split second, he changed, becoming slightly awkward. It's almost like he's confused. Stellar briefly wondered why.
WORDS: 000 TAGS: Red NOTES:We should create some trouble or something. So Red can play hero. CREDIT: LAIKA OF GS!
''Yes...'' Red replied, allowing only a small smile to breach the otherwise shyness of his held expression. He was born in the small Pallet Town and proud to be. His stories about his legendary adventures and journeys would not have existed if he did not come from here. Pallet Town was a special place for him and held a big amount of space within his heart. ''I have no problem with your pokemon coming alone though make sure he doesn't scare the other villagers.''
He was happy to see that she was getting along with pika. It was always nice to have a new friend around. At least Red wouldn't to feel so lonely anymore. It took them a few minutes to walk within the town before people stopped and stared at them. The children stared in awe and dropped their toys before charging toward them while screaming. ''It's him!!! He returned!'' Red panicked and hid behind Wystra. The kids were shouting in joy and wanted to get a close look at him though Red thought that they were overacting. ''Woah! Is that a new pokemon that you captured !?'' One of the kids shouted before Red stepped forward and tried to control the situation. ''Calm down! Hehe... I'm back though this awesome pokemon here isn't mine. It's from my friend here Stellar! Now if you guys could just leave us alone for a while then I'll promise you that I'll come and play with you guys tomorrow!'' He said in an overjoyed tone before continuing his presentation about the town. ''Haha... Quite an active town eh? No worry , you'll get used to it.''
i could've been a princess you'd be the king could've had a castle worn a ring
Stellar kept it to herself that she still couldn't decide whether this boy is the Pokemon Champion, or champion for something else. Either way, it seems okay for him for Wystra to walk with them, so Stellar tangled her hands into the Sawsbuck's fur, in a way guiding her, in a way getting confidence and comfort.
It was really lucky she kept her smile on and didn't panic like earlier when the kids just came running out of nowhere. Her hand in between Wystra's fur calmed the Pokemon down better than anything else, so the Sawsbuck didn't rear up badly again. In a way, this town is much more active than what she originally thought, which is kinda great.
"You're famous among the kids," she remarked with a laugh, "Though you do look adorable when you hide behind Wystra earlier." She caught that, it was really obvious, and it really was rather adorable.
It also fuels her belief that Red is younger than he looks. So he can't possibly be Pokemon Champion, right? Stellar wasn't too sure, actually, because the rules for this region might be different?
"Those kids are all your friends?"
It was really just more of an icebreaker question. Red probably knew all of them....from living here? Red is really detailed about the presentation of the town, so she assumed he lived here long enough. "...do you travel around, or do you just stay here?" She couldn't imagine someone like him to settle for a long time. He is a trainer after all, and most trainers travel around a lot.
Red exclaimed in a joyful tone as he proceeded on with his presentation. It was a good sign that she haven't fall asleep yet since the male wasn't really confident in his oral skills but then again maybe he was discovering one of his hidden talents? Who knows , Red would have to try and redo this later on with other people.
Red eyes darted from the left to right before stopping on a big building. It was Pr.Oak's Lab. Since Stellar was a pokemon trainer , Red thought about maybe presenting her to Oak. Never know when he has any kind of new interesting gadgets to give you. It has been a few years since he last came to visit so Red was sure that the professor had developed a bunch of new stuffs. Unfortunately for them , the lab wasn't open today and Oak seemed to be busy with other things as he left a note upon the front door that said that he will be back next week. ''Aww , Snap! Bad luck I guess!?'' He snapped his fingers in a motion before adjusting the cap upon his head in a hurry.
It was frustrating to discover that the professor went on a sort of trip when he needed him the most. Now his entire presentation trip was going to be ruined. What to do? Perhaps Red could continue to converse with her and discover more about her background? ''Yes , I do travel a lot. I've just recently returned back from Johto. It has been a few years already. Haha...''
They stopped in front of an interesting building. 'A lab,' Stellar blinked, looking at the building. It must be an important place, because Red looks so crestfallen when he realized that it's closed.
He also looks a little awkward, as if he had done something wrong. Looking so nervous is making him really adorable, Stellar decided. "You can tell me about your travels," she smiled, "That would be interesting too. This is my first time in Kanto, actually." Maybe that will soothe him a little. He looks so jittery.
She shuffled her feet a little, patting Wystra again, the Sawsbuck just letting out a soft grunt. "I've never been to Johto yet," she chuckled softly, "Is it nice there?" Maybe through this way she could find out more about him, and it's also a nice subtle way to discover what Red do usually. Plus, all those information could be really useful.
Oh, that reminds her...
Before Stellar could ask if they have anywhere to eat, her stomache beat her to the punch, grumbling loudly. A blush lighted up on her face. The woman hadn't had lunch for a while, and she had planned to stop somewhere and maybe get something to it, preferably a city because that's where it's easy to get supplies, but then she had got distracted and, well, here.
