[X] My Assistant

[Hanabi]

Mizuki nodded to Lysander's question. She was excited to go in the store the first time. "I've heard from my classmates that they are one of the stores around here that sells the cheapest items! At least, that's what they said about it - I hope they are right. I wonder where they get all their stock...if they're so busy every day! Hopefully, we can make it into the store!" Mizuki laughed.

[Sweentei]

Lysander grinned, and nodded. "Hopefully. Lets go inside." he said. He smiled, and walked beside her as they entered the store.

It was as crowded as they thought it would be. Lysander had to squeeze past everyone to get what he needed. He got 5 Pokeballs, 3 Greatballs, and some potions for battle. He waited for Mizuki to get her things before going to the check-out counter.

[Hanabi]

Mizuki had to say "excuse me" five times before she could reach the pokeballs. She sighed in relief and looked around as she stood by the pokeballs. Every single one of them are trainers?, she thought to herself. There were many children, some dozens of other teenagers and a few adults. Snapping out of her daze, she picked up 10 pokeballs and 2 more potions. She figured that perhaps she will need some more pokeballs, just in case she carelessly throws them even though the pokemon was obviously unable to be caught yet, so she grabbed 5 more. She looked around, finally spotting Lysander among the crowd and went to him.

"I think I'm all set for now." She told Lysander.

[Sweentei]

Lysander managed to see her above all the people as she got her things. He smiled when she came up, and he nodded. "Me too." he replied, turning to face the line. Suprisingly, He was close to the front. And so was Mizuki.

When it was their turn, he put the things he got on the counter, and pulled out money.

"That will be ¥7900." said the cashier.

Lysander nodded, and pulled out exact change, smiling as he put his things in his bag. He walked towards the door, waiting for Mizuki.

[Hanabi]

Mizuki placed her goods onto the counter and the cashier asked for ¥3600 and Mizuki rummaged through her coins. While she was finding the exact change, the cashier included a premier ball. Mizuki nodded as a thank you. She placed the coins onto the counter and politely took her supplies and placed them in her bag.

Mizuki walked quickly towards Lysander. "Sorry that I made you wait!" She apologized.

[Sweentei]

Lysander watched as she paid for her things, then smiled when she came over. "Don't worry about it." he assured her.

He patted her shoulder, then turned, looking down the road ahead. He smiled, and turned to her. "Ready to go?" he asked, eyes shining in excitement.

[Hanabi]

Mizuki nodded. She was excited for her first adventure. She grabbed a water bottle from her bag and took a small sip. She gave Lysander the thumbs up. "I'm all set!" Mizuki replied happily.

[Sweentei]

Lysander laughed, and nodded. "Alright then, lets go!" he said, starting to walk.

Star gave an excited chirp, and flew into the air happily. Lysander grinned, watching her.

[Hanabi]

Mizuki looked at Piplup. It innocently looked back. She took out its pokeball and said, "Okay, it's time for you to go back, I'll need to take notes!" Piplup tilted its head, kissed Mizuki on the cheeck and was ready to return. With a flash of red light, the pokemon went back into its ball. She placed the pokeball back onto its place on her bracelet, which had another pokeball dangling on it. Mizuki then grabbed back her notebook and pen as she walked beside Lysander.

[Sweentei]

Lysander watched her put Piplup in the pokeball, then looked at Star, who was sitting peacefully on his shoulder. He smiled, and stroked her feathers softly, before reaching for her pokeball. In a flash of red light, she was gone, and he put the pokeball back on his belt. He looked at Mizuki, who was writing notes in her journal.

He smiled softly, and looked at the road ahead.

[Hanabi]

Mizuki continued to write in her notebook. Bought 15 new Pokeballs, 2 potions... She then closed her notebook and looked at Lysander. "So! Where will we head first? I'm not very used to travelling, but hopefully we'll end up somewhere eventually!"

[Sweentei]

Lysander glanced at her when she put her notebook away, then smiled softly. "Lets just keep heading this way. I hear there are some good Pokemon around here." he told her, looking around as they walked.

[Hanabi]

"Ah, okay!" Mizuki replied back. She suddenly remembered that she had brought a camera to make a scrapbook of her adventures. She'll definitely send some images back to her parents. Mizuki looked through her bag and finally found her small light blue digital camera hidden in a case. She checked if she had brought extra batteries and turned on her camera, making sure that it worked.

"Lysander, why don't we take a picture? I'm going to make a scrapbook of all the things I'm going to do on my adventure!" Mizuki exclaimed.

[Sweentei]

Lysander watched as she dug through her bag for her camera, then smiled when she got it.

He nodded, and stopped walking. "Sure. Lets take one." he agreed, standing next to her.

[Hanabi]

"Yay! Just one moment..." Mizuki fixed the camera settings and flipped the screen so they could see it and held it in front of them, adjusting it along the way. "Okay then! Say...er, what should we say this time? How about 'Let's Go!' ?" She made a peace sign with her left hand and held it up to her face.

"3...2...1...Let's Go!" Mizuki shouted. She never figured out how people could say things and smile without opening their mouths at the same time.

[Sweentei]

Lysander grinned, and nodded, looking into the camera.

When the picture was about to click, he grinned, making the Rock N' Roll sign.

When the picture clicked, he smiled at her, wanting to see how it came out.

[Hanabi]

Mizuki looked at the camera screen and set the camera to show the picture. She showed it to Lysander and grinned, "Thanks so much! This will make a great first page picture!"

[Sweentei]

Lysander looked at the picture, and smiled, nodding in agreement. "You look good in it." he commented, eyes shining.

He thought for a moment, then pulled out a great ball, containing a Chimchar. He smiled, and threw it in the air, and seconds later, in a flash of white, a Chimchar was standing, staring at him. "Chimchar?" it tilted its head, and then smiled, climbing up to his shoulder.

Lysander grinned, and stroked its head. "Hey, Charcoal." he greeted, giving him a berry. Charcoal ate it happily, and squeaked.

Lysander looked at Mizuki, and smiled. "Mizuki, this is Charcoal. My Chimchar." he told her.

[Hanabi]

Mizuki bent towards the Chimchar. "Hello there!" She looked back at Lysander, "I have a fire-type pokemon too!" She took out the second pokeball from her bracelet and threw it up in the air.

"Torchic!" Mizuki cried out. With a flash of light a Torchic appeared and landed on its feet. Mizuki placed back the empty pokeball onto her bracelet. "This is, as you might have guessed, Torchic!" Mizuki laughed, "I really should get into the habit of giving my pokemon nicknames."

"Tor~!" Torchic chirped.

Suddenly, Mizuki heard a flock of birds coming their way and she turned around. "Ah! Swablu!" Mizuki pointed towards the flock. She flipped through her notebook and found the page with details about Swablu. "Ah, I guess it's because it's spring, they'll move closer to human populated towns. This is the perfect time to catch one! Torchic! Get ready!"

[Sweentei]

Lysander watched as she leaned towards Charcoal. He patted his head, and grinned.

He smiled, and watched her call out her Torchic. He grinned, and said, "I'm sure you won't have any trouble naming it." he assured her, eyes shining.

Charcoal leaped off his shoulder, and went towards Torchic. "Chim?" he said softly, tilting his head. Lysander laughed, and then looked at Mizuki when she cried out. He turned his head, seeing the Swablu fly over them. He smiled, and nodded. "Yeah! We might have some luck. Lets go see if we can." he replied excitedly, making Charcoal get on his shoulder as he jogged towards the town.
