conversations.value: Prof. Dr. Naimis: It was a grand, wonderful day in the small and rural town of Tulip Town. As the name suggested, the town was dominated by large tulip fields surrounding the scattered homes of the many families who lived in this thriving farming community. Several cozy family homes, two story buildings and many of them with attached stables for bigger Pokemon, stood in relative proximity, surrounded by fields of tulips and grassy areas, intertwined with some trees and hedges here and there, with a forest in the distance. A few of the ever present windmills could be seen in the distance, but not as many as in some other areas of the region. It was also the little town in which the famous Professor Maple had his laboratory, which looked more like an expansive farm than like a proper laboratory, where he studied Pokemon and their behavior.The sun was shining, just a few clouds were hanging high in the sky, a few flying Pokemon were sitting on the top of buildings and in the distance on a grassy plain some Skiddo's were grazing, uncaring about the few smaller, wild Pokemon scurrying around between hedges, trees and buildings. In other words, all in all was it the perfect day to spend outside. Which was exactly what the young lady we are joining now was doing.

conversations.value: Mek!: Sat on a small wall by the side of a long, straight road was a small girl staring at a small ball. The ball was a standard Pokeball, red on top and white below with a button on the front. She had been given several like it, but this one was different to the others because this one contained a Pokemon. In fact, it was her first Pokemon, the start of her team that she hoped would one day help her to reach the Pokemon League tournament in Poppyton. There was a long way to go however, and she would need to defeat all the Pokemon Gym leaders in the Teikuni Region to collect the badges that she would need to present before she could enter the Teikuni League. It was a challenge and it was not meant to be easy, but she had energy and enthusiasm on her side and was excited to get started.Her name was Petal and she loved Pokemon. She had know quite a few, for she had grown up on a Mareep farm in Tulip Town with her father. Mr Button was a man of wisdom, devoted to his farm and he had taught her a lot about Pokemon, especially the varieties that could be found in the small farming town. But before he had settled down to become a farmer, Billy Button had been a Pokemon trainer and a good one too. He had won the Teikuni League when he was not much older than Petal, and had battled in the Kanto and Sinnoh Leagues as well. He had told her many stories of his time travelling and catching Pokemon. Her older brother Paul had become a Pokemon trainer too, and already had all of the region's Gym badges.The last she had heard from him, her brother was exploring Kelp Island and learning all about Ice type Pokemon. Sheliked hearing their stories, dreaming of the day when she would venture out into the world and become a Pokemon trainer just like them. That day had arrived.On that bright, beautiful summers day when Petal was nearly ten, she had been summoned by Professor Maple to collect her starter Pokemon and set out on her first adventure. More accurately she was nine years, nine months and nine days old. This was unusual because she was a whole year younger than her brother had been when he set out two years ago to begin his Pokemon journey. Indeed she was the youngest Pokemon trainer to come from Tulip Town in several years, but the Professor insisted it was her time. In truth, her time had been dependent upon the Professor being able to find a suitable starter Pokemon for her. Unlike other towns that had a great variety of wild Pokemon, Tulip Town had very few that were considered suitable for a new trainer. This was because Tulip Town was a farming town with herds of grazing Pokemon like the Mareep her father kept. This meant that wild Pokemon had to be kept away, especially pests that would frighten the herds or damage the crops. If there had been a lot of other boys and girls of her age wanting their starter Pokemon, they would sometimes have a long wait. As it was, Petal was the only new trainer waiting for her turn, and it just so happened that Professor Maple had caught a suitable Pokemon that very morning. By happy circumstance, a corn farmer on the edge of town had complained about his crops burning. It had been a hot summer, but the sun alone could not set fire to crops and upon investigation the Professor had discovered that the culprit was a Cyndaquil.Petal pressed the button on the front of the Pokeball, which instantly doubled in size, filling her hand. She held it out away from her as the ball opened with a twinkle of light and the Cyndaquil appeared upon the road in front of her. The ball closed and shrank back to its original size as he put it into her bag. Then, delving deep into bag she grabbed hold of her Pokedex device and pulled it out. It gave a chirp as she held it up and turned it on. She held it out towards her Cyndaquil, which had sat down on the road looking up at her patiently. The Pokedex chirped again and then a picture of a Cyndaquil appeared on its display."Cyndaquil, the fire mouse Pokemon."The Pokedex said."Cyndaquil protects its self by by shooting scorching flames from its back. The flames are most vigorous when the Pokemon is angry.""I wonder what moves you know." Petal said to her Pokemon thoughtfully, excited at the prospect of them battling other trainers together."The primary attack of thisCyndaquil is Flame Wheel."The Pokedex answered."It can also use Smokescreen and physical attacks such as Tackle and Swift.""Oh, thank you." Petal said, not expecting the device to have answered her so promptly. The Pokedex had been given to her by Professor Maple as part of her official starter pack, which included the set of spare Pokeballs, some berries and her bag. Petal liked the Professor as he was always very friendly to her and she had often helped with his research on the farm, but she thought he could be a bit creepy. Sometimes he had stared at her with a strange look, as though he was trying to decide whether she was a girl or a Pokemon. The Professor's particular field of study was Pokemon breeding. He especially wanted to know about how different types of Pokemon reproduced and what happened when different types of Pokemon were able to breed together. Petal did not really understand what breeding was, or why it was important. Her father said it was something she would learn about on her journey when she became a Pokemon Trainer. She could not wait to find out and discover what else awaited her on her Pokemon adventure.The problem was, she had reached a junction in the  road and she did not know which way she should go. She had sat on the  wall while she decided. To her left was Poplar City, or to the right was  Lily Town. She had been to Poplar City before. It was a busy city where her father took his Mareep wool to sell at the market. She knew that she would find many kinds of Pokemon there, but then she would still need to go to Lily Town at some point, because she needed a badge from the Lily Town Gym. It was a difficult decision, one that could influence her entire future as a Pokemon trainer.With that thought in mind, she hopped off the wall and crouched down next to herCyndaquil. She held out her hand cautiously and stroked its nose, careful not to stroke too far beyond its head, because the Professor had warned her that the flames on its back were very hot.Cyndaquil brayed happily in response, but then let out a shrill and the flames along its back turned a bright yellow. Petal heard it too, the sound of an engine approaching, and looked up just in time to see the lorry hurtling towards them. Instinctively she grabbed her Pokemon and dived for cover as the lorry, which had a big red circle and the letter R painted on the side, raced around the corner and swerved to avoid them. There was a screech of breaks and something hit the ground with an audible thud. Petal pushed herself to her feet and made sureCyndaquil was alright too, as she brushed the grass from her pretty yellow dress and straightened her long brown hair. Neither of them were hurt, but the lorry was already speeding off into the distance.It was then that she saw it. A box, fairly small, perhaps no bigger than herCyndaquil and made of wood, sat there in the middle of the road. It could only have fallen from the lorry, for it had not been there before. Cautiously she approached it,Cyndaquil following on her heels and when they reached the box she inspected it. There were a few scratches on its side, but it did not look broken at all. There was a catch and a lid, which drew her curiosity and she fiddled with it until she was able to lift the lid and peer inside. What she found was a layer of protective packaging and beneath it, to her utter surprise, was an egg. Unsure what to make of it, she held up the Pokedex and pointed the device towards it."A Pokemon egg."The Pokedex declared. Petal pouted at the device. She had worked that much out for herself and did not need to be told."This egg belongs to a Dragon type Pokemon. Dragon type Pokemon are strongest against Grass, Fire, Water and Electric Pokemon."She frowned. Dragon type Pokemon were very rare inTeikuni Region, and she wondered how this egg had come to be on a lorry heading south, and why it had not been secured better by its owner. She could not think of an answer, but there was one thing she did know. The lorry was heading for Lily Town and when it got there, the owner would realise the egg was missing. Her decision was made. She would go to Lily Town and take the egg back to its owner. And so it was that Petal and Cyndaquil set off on their first Pokemon adventure.

conversations.value: Prof. Dr. Naimis: The road leading to Lily Town was split, one road for the motorized vehicles and a more narrow, winding path for people who walked and wanted to enjoy nature. In other words, trainers. In fact, the Pokemon League had put some pressure unto those who planned those routes and had all but forced them to make them a bit more difficult and longer, giving young trainers more exposure to wild Pokemon and the wilderness away from human civilization. Well, as much as that was possible in a region that was as heavily populated and shaped by humans and their Pokemon partners as the Taikuni region was. No matter, on foot it would take Petal about a week to get to Lily Town, if she didn't catch a ride or take a shortcut or do the opposite and dally around. There were several rest stops and trainer inns along the way, she wouldn't be forced to sleep outside, but she definetely could if she wanted to.For the time being, so close to Tulip Town, the route led along between hedges and open fields, often framed by fields of flowers and fences and for the time being very close to the road. In the distance a few windmills were lazily turning in the ever present soft wind, so close to the ocean there was always a bit of a breeze, and the smell of flowers and fresh cut grass was carried to Petal's nose. With the sun shining brightly and the weather seemingly holding for the next few days it was perhaps the perfect time to start a Pokemon Journey, especially in this downright paradisic, rural area.It wasn't until perhaps an hour after Petal had the encounter with the Lorry that she had her first encounter with a wild Pokemon, beyond the occasional flying Pokemon flying overhead or a rustling in the grass when something small scurried away. The path turned away from the road and with a gentle curve, hugging a low stone wall on one side and framed by a small lightly forested area, and just as Petal was out of sight of the road a small hiss could be heard. Close by two Ledybas, small bug Pokemon, hurried away and buzzed away as quickly as possible. Then a whimper and another hiss.Just behind the low stone wall, not one but actually two Pokemon were present and fighting. Well, fighting might be too strong of a word, more like bullying. Making another step back, the frightened Munchlax hugged itself in fear, it's eyes about to burst into tears of fear and panic, while with menacing hisses and snarls a far more slender, dangerous looking Yungoos came ever closer with menacing steps. Petal wouldn't know it, but the small Munchlax had in it's exploration come far too close to the Yungoos' burrow and the angry Pokemon had caught the youngster and hunted him up to this point, where the Munchlax was as good as trapped, not able to climb the wall by itself, not in the exhausted state it was.
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Mek!: "Yungoos. A sharp fanged Pokemon. It will eat anything."The Pokedex announced as Petal held it up. She had been wandering along the winding path as it headed in a southerly direction towards Lily Town, sucking upon a lollypop when she had heard the commotion coming from behind a wall. For a while she had been lost among her thoughts enjoying the day and watching the variety of flying Pokemon frittering among the tree tops. But she stopped when her attention was drawn by the two Pokemon that were squabbling on the other side of the wall."Munchlax. A baby Pokemon. Munchlax gets so hungry that it forgets about the food it has hidden in its fur."The Munchlax looked up at Petal, cocking its head to one side and giving her a perplexed look, as though it had understood what the Pokedex had said and had suddenly remembered that it did indeed have some food hidden somewhere about its body. Its lapse of concentration though allowed the Yungoos an opportunity to strike. The disgruntled Yungoos had only been taunting the Munchlax before, but with a chance to settle the situation in its favour, the Yungoos pounced with a Tackle Attack that caught the Munchlax by surprise. There was a stunned yelp from the wild Pokemon as it fell backwards like a sack of newly ground flour, cried out in horror and then fled into the undergrowth."That was not very nice." Petal chided the aggressive Yungoos, which sneered back at her. "Alright, come on Cynders." She said, taking the lollypop from her mouth as she reached for her Pokeball and held it out. "Lets teach this mean Yungoos some manners." Her Cyndaquil burst from the Pokeball and appeared on the ground in front of her. The flames on its back flickered in the gentle breeze as it summed up its opponent. "Give it your Quick attack." Cyndaquil looked hard at the Yungoos, recoiled and curled up into a defensive ball. The other Pokemon sneered victoriously, its claws scraping the ground. It was using Leer, and it had proved to be very powerful against her her inexperienced Cyndaquil. Petal crouched down next to it and ran her hand over its head."Don't be afraid." She told her Pokemon, trying herself to sound more confident. "You can do it. Try your Flame Wheel attack." Cyndaquil shivered, but did not move. "Please?" She added. This time Cyndaquil agreed, sprung from the ground and leaped towards its angry opposition. When it landed, it pulled its self into a tight ball engulfed in fire and rolled into the Yungoos at great speed. The other Pokemon was knocked backward with great force and was flung hard against the wall. For a moment Petal thought it might be too hurt to get up again. But eventually the Yungoos pulled its self back onto its paws. It was weak and shaking, but still conscious. Perfect, she decided and pulled out one of the empty Pokeballs from her bag. She pressed the button on the ball, making it grow larger, then through it directly at the tired Yungoos.Petal did not possess a great throwing arm. To say that she threw like a girl would be accurate because she was a girl, but in her case her throw left a lot to be desired. The Pokeball landed short, bounced twice and then rolled to a stop a few inches in front of the Yungoos, which glared at it. The Pokemon sniffed around it and then with an equally feeble kick of the Pokeball with its claw, the Yungoos decided that it had endured enough, turned and slipped down a nearby hole that led into its underground home. Cyndaquil sat upon its hind legs looking up at her. Despite not catching the Yungoos, Cyndaquil appeared to be quite pleased with its performance. Indeed, it had at least defeated the wild Pokemon, knocking it senseless for a moment. Petal was inclined to agree, though she was somewhat disappointed that she had not caught the Pokemon. It would take more practice, she decided, and there would be plenty of other wild Pokemon to catch.Petal picked a berry from her bag, which she gave to Cyndaquil, and then together they set off along the path once more. Her Pokemon may not have been very experienced yet, but she felt that they were already forming a connection, and it kept pace with her as they walked side by side along the footpath. They had not gone far though, perhaps half a mile at most, when she spotted a bench. It was nothing special really. They had passed two similar benches further back up the path earlier in the day. It was wooden, painted green with cast iron legs that had been painted black, and the whole design made the bench look like it was simply lazing there, relaxing in the sun on that warm summer day. What made this bench remarkable though, was the Pidove that was sat upon it. woodland Pidoves were less common than the urban city variety, but Petal knew that a flying Pokemon would make a useful addition to her team."Go on Cynders." She said encouragingly. "I think we can catch this one. Try your Swift attack." Cyndaquil did as she asked, darting forwards and launching its attack, which seemed to involve several bright star shapes that flew at the small Flying type Pokemon on the bench, spun around it and then knocked it from it's perch. Excited, Petal ran to catch up with an empty Pokeball primed. She reached the bench just as the startled Pidove came around. This time she was close enough that her throw would easily reach its target, and sure enough the Pidove was enveloped by a shower of sparkling light as it was drawn into the ball. The Pokeball chirped as it settled on the ground next to the bench, rocked once and then then sat still."Yes!" Petal cheered loudly, and then looked around rather sheepishly to make sure no one else had happened to wanderer into view and seen her embarrassing expression of triumph. Fortunately, she could not see anything other than a few trees around them, so she turned to Cyndaquil with a grateful smile. "Well done Cynders." She said. "We have made a new friend.""Pidove."The Pokedex explained."These flying type Pokemon are accustomed to people and can always find their way home."

conversations.value: Prof. Dr. Naimis: With her first victory against a wild Pokemon under her belt and having caught another wild Pokemon, Petal had any right to be elated. In the trees, two more flying Pokemon, these two however Taillows, watched her with interest and chirped, before fluttering away. The reason for that became soon quite obvious as not even twenty seconds later, the sound of a very annoying Pop-Song of some sort could be heard. First very faint, but then it gradually grew louder and louder and it became apparent that it came from the way from which Petal had come herself, the way back. Shortly after a bright pink and gold bike came around the gently curved corner, of course not by itself because that would be stupid. No, the bike was of course ridden by someone, in this case a blonde, sunglasses wearing girl perhaps a bit older than Petal. With her perfectly styled locks swaying in the soft wind, her manicured fingernails and her cute body wrapped in designer trainer wear, the girl came riding down the path, listening to music blaring from her smartphone. Or her Pokedex. Both? Both.Seeing Petal she stopped perhaps three meters in front of her, turning off the annoying music. "Oh, please," she said. As it turned out, her voice was no less annoying. "Don't tell me you are one of those loser trainers waiting for other trainers to come along to give them a good trashing."Before Petal could reply, the girl was already reaching for her belt, where she was carrying no less than three pokeballs.
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Mek!: Happiness. It was a delightful feeling. She had won the battle and caught her very first wild Pokemon and it was only her first day as a Pokemon trainer. Petal felt tremendous and she was certain nothing could dampen her mood. Not even the sound of blaring music rapidly approaching could really effect her. The noise was oddly muffled and she turned to see where it was coming from in time to watch a girl on a push bike racing along the path. The rider braked, skidded slightly and came to a holt just a few yards or so from Petal. The bicycle was unusually juxtaposed to its rider, for it gave the impression that it was extremely late for something important and might readily bite at anyone who was unlucky enough to stand in its way. The girl on the other hand, seemed far more composed and remarkably confident. She was older than Petal, perhaps closer to her brother's age and looked somewhat familiar. The rider was obviously a fellow Pokemon trainer. One with a serious taste for the very latest in fashionable commodities and plenty of credit to be able to afford it all. She had all the accessories. The bag was one of those Poppyton designer brands that all the girls in Tulip Town talked about, and her wrist watch was the most recent must have gadget that apparently vibrated whenever there was a wild Pokemon nearby. Professor Maple had ordered one months ago, but was still waiting for it to arrive.The rider also wore a belt with three Pokeballs clipped to it. Petal considered it as the other trainer addressed her. A belt would be pretty useful, for at the moment she had to put all her Pokeballs in her bag, and would need to take the bag off whenever she wanted to get to them. At least they were stored in a separate compartment to her tent, sleeping bag, clothes, food and cooking utensils. But a belt would really make it easier, especially when she had a few more Pokemon in her team. The only problem was, she did not think a big black belt would go very well with her knee length dresses. She had a longer skirt and top ensemble in her bag that could work better, but really belts were designed for people who wore jeans or trousers and she did not have anything like that to wear. Thinking about it, Petal realised that she was able to place the girl, recalling having seen the girl collect her starter Pokemon from Professor Maple, perhaps a year past. Indeed, this girl had started her Pokemon journey from Tulip Town too, but still Petal could not remember the other girl's name or recall which Pokemon she had been given, assuming she had ever known it in the first place. It was doubtful the rider's Pokemon were as cute as Cyndaquil, she probably had a load of horrible bug types or something. Even so, Petal decided that even if the other girl seemed rather annoying, it was only polite to be friendly."I am Petal and this is Cynders. What is your name?" She asked.
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Prof. Dr. Naimis: "Oh wow, Cynders, what a wonderfully creative name for a Cyndaquil. If you have a Bulbasaur, what would you call it, Bulbi?" asked the girl with a sneer mocking voice, smirking at Petal with what could only be described as an ugly and unpleasant sneer. Climbing from her bike she unclasped the kickstand of her vehicle and stepped away from it, looking at Petal from behind her designer sunglasses. "I'm Rose Mary. Remember that name, I will soon be the champion of the Pokemon League."She hesitated, then gave Petal a look over and asked, suddenly far less snide and far less arrogant. "You're from Tulip Town, yeah? Just started on your Pokemon Journey?"Rose Mary was originally not from Tulip Town herself, she had grown up in Marram City, the biggest City in the Region and the de facto Capital. As a city girl from a rather rich, if not completely loaded, family background, Rose Mary had grown up a bit pampered and a bit, well, ignored by her parents and older siblings. As the youngest, Rose Mary was actually the only one of her family who got into Training Pokemon, wanting to do this since she had been a little kid, and finally last year her parents had driven her to Tulip Town to get her starter Pokemon. Since then, about a year now, she had travelled between Lily Town, Poplar City and Marram City, having by now assembled a small team of three Pokemon. Some would think this was a fairly low number, but she preferred to take only hand picked Pokemon into her team, which mean her playful and overly happy go lucky Totodile, her starter, an easily annoyed and somewhat arrogant Houndour and since just two weeks ago a somewhat shy Budew. A well rounded, very well trained small team.The reason for her now going this way, back towards Lily Town, was actually her newest Pokemon, her Budew. With a Grass Type now on her team, she was confident that she could actually challenge the Gym Leader there, Antje. Because of the Type preference of the Gym in Lily Town, namely Water, so far Rose Mary had no chance of beating the Gym Leader without risking too much injury to her beloved Pokemon. And say what you want about her, she cared about her team.
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Mek!: "This morning, yes." Petal replied, suddenly feeling less confident. The question was innocent enough, but the way the other girl had said it, made it sound like an accusation as if it was a bad thing. It was strange, a girl she had never really met before and who did not know her either was acting as though they were already enemies. Or perhaps rivals. Rose Mary, or was it one word as in Rosemary, Petal was unsure about that, however her name was pronounced, she was certainly another trainer. It was possible that the girl saw Petal as a potential rival, although that seemed rather silly to her. The other trainer had quite a head start on her, at least a few months. She had three Pokemon already and probably battled many other trainers, giving her Pokemon a lot more experience than Petal and her Cyndaquil had gained in their few hours together. Which ever way she looked at it, Petal was completely outmatched by the older girl. It might be fun to test her Pokemon in a battle with another trainer, but she would need the services of a Pokemon Centre before her newly caught Pidove would be ready to battle, and if her Cyndaquil was hurt in the battle, she would be defenseless and with so many wild Pokemon around, the path ahead might be dangerous. One thing Rosemary had said did make sense. Cynders was not a very original nickname for a Cyndaquil. When she had thought of it, she had thought it to be clever, for she thought it humourous that her Cynders could go to the Pokeball. Perhaps puns were not her strong suit."Are you going to Lily Town?" She asked.
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Prof. Dr. Naimis: "No, I'm going to Poppyton, that's why I'm on the road to Lily Town," replied Rose Mary with an eye roll, one that was hidden behind her glasses and could thus not be seen and was thus completely lost. However the sarcastic tone of hers was genuinely dripping from her voice and could hardly be missed. "Yeah, I'm on the way to Lily Town, duuuhh." Stupid question, really. At least in her opinion and she made it clear that she thought this.Then however she did something strange, namely she grabbed the handles of her bike and began to push her designer bike forward instead of climbing back onto it, beginning to talk and explain some things to Petal. It was obvious that she intended to walk a small way with Petal and explain some things to her, even if she did so in a way that indicated that she thought she was so much better on Petal and was taking pity on her. Not really the best reason for doing it, but at least her advise was solid. "Okay, listen girly whose name I have already forgotten, the gym leader of Lily Town is Antje, whose like a total arrogant little bitch. And she uses Water Pokemon, thus your Cyndaquil would stand no chance of ever kicking her ass. Usually she uses three Water Pokemon, but she changes them around, she has a really big team. You would need either a Grass Type or an Electro type to stand a good chance. You do know how type advantages works, don't you?"-Meanwhile in Lily Town..."Achoo!" A blonde teenage girl with braids rubbed her nose after having sneezed loudly. "Hmmm, someone must be talking about me..."Having said that, Lily Town Pokemon Gym Leader Antje leaned back against the tree under which she was lazing around, her feet in the water of one of many ponds which made up the Gym. As one of the few outdoor gyms there were, the Lily Town Pokemon Gym consisted of a series of islands and ponds and channels which could be navigated with a small boat, in the middle of a shallow lake. Trees and bushes and reed was growing there freely and only the large sign at the bridge leading over the small lake to it gave away that it was a Pokemon Gym. Well, that and the presence of several trainers hanging around and the fact that there were more Pokemon swimming in the water than anywhere else.
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Mek!: Petal nodded pensively in response. She knew a great deal about the different types of Pokemon, their strongest and weakest attributes and how to look after them, for her father had told her much and she had made a good study of the theory. But theory and reality were often very different creatures. There was still much she had to learn, especially about the world outside of Tulip Town, and so she listened to Rose Mary with polite interest, particularly to the information about the Lily Town gym leader. Petal did not know much about water type Pokemon, other than that they were strong against fire types and weakest against electric types. She also knew that flying type Pokemon had an advantage in water battles as they did not need land in order to make their attacks from. Rose Mary's preference for the use of sarcasm was somewhat irksome, irritating even, but the other girl was the only person she had met so far and Petal was still not entirely sure what to make of her.It was something of a surprise when Rose Mary got off her bicycle and started walking along beside her, as though the rider was actually wanting to make a new friend, even though the words she said suggested something entirely different. There was something else though, that Petal was uncertain of. As they walked along the path together, Petal listening to everything the older girl had to say while trying to define her thoughts. There was something about Rose Mary that she just could not place. Perhaps it was her eyes, the shape of her jaw, the soft pink hue of her blusher or maybe the way she wore her hair. Whatever it was, Petal felt drawn to it, to her in a way she could not really understand, but she liked it. For a time they continued on their route talking about Pokemon and battling. She learned that Rose Mary's starter was a Totodile, and her other Pokemon were a Budew and a Houdour. Most of the conversation was one way, with Petal remaining submissive as she lost track of how far they had walked, but they did discuss the different foods certain Pokemon like and where to find electric types. Petal wondered which type of Pokemon she would come across next to add to her team.
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Prof. Dr. Naimis: As it turned out, Rose Mary was actually quite knowledgeable about pretty much anything Pokemon, at least from a trainers perspective. She knew which Pokemon could learn which moves, which Pokemon liked what sort of food and also what Pokemon could be found where. And how to best catch them, at least in theory. And she was happy to tell Petal all about it, wether it was because she liked showing off or because she wanted to give Petal some friendly advice was anyones guess. Even she herself didn't know that. And neither did she care."Okay, I gotta go, I want to make some good time, I can't waste all day helping helpless newbies," she then suddenly said, beginning to climb back onto her bike. "If you follow along the path and don't tarry too long you will find a small inn for trainers, designed to give you and your team some food, a bath and a warm bed. I'll see you at the League and kick your ass there."Unless Petal would stop her, she would drive off again.
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Mek!: Rose Mary liked to talk to the point where Petal could barely get a word in edgeways, but at least she was giving out useful information and as far as Petal could tell, the advice was free. So as the girl climbed back onto her bike and sped away, Petal wondered whether she had just made a friend."Hey, Rosemary wait I..." Petal shouted, but it was too late. Rose Mary was already too far away to hear her even without the headphones she wore and the music blaring from them. Before long, she had turned a corner in the path and was out of sight. Some distance ahead, the path began to head back to the road and a small village. She imagined this was where she would find the inn that had been mentioned. They had been walking for a long while though and she needed a rest and something to eat. She moved off the path and slumped onto the soft grass verge, slipping her bag from her shoulder and placing it upon the ground as her Cyndaquil squatted in front of her, looking up expectantly. On the other side of the path a thorn bush shook mockingly, at though it were laughing at her. Petal ignored it, picking a berry from the packet in her bag and threw it to Cynderquil. The bush rustled again and something small and blue appeared briefly, looked directly at Petal and dived back into the bush."Quick Cynders, don't let it get away." Petal said, pointing to the bush and reached for her bag. Cyndaquil jumped up and darted across the path in three long strides before disappearing around the bush. There was more shaking of branches from the bush, which began to look very nervous. Then with a puff of smoke the bush quite suddenly burst into flames. For a moment Petal worried that something terrible had happened, but just as the flames completely enveloped the last thorns, the blue Pokemon popped out onto the path again. She looked down at the Pokemon, which appeared to be rather singed but resolutely defiant until it found its self looking at her legs. It looked up, its long green leaf like frill flopped backwards, and all at once it's defiance fell away in defeat. She pulled out her Pokedex and knelt down as her Cyndaquil prowled through what remained of the smoldering bush, ready to pounce."Oddish."Her Pokedex declared."This root Pokemon is nocturnal, moving only at night. It buries itself during the day to absorb nutrients in the soil.""Nocturnal, huh. What are you doing up?" Petal said, offering the Pokemon a berry. She felt sorry for it. "There you go." The Oddish cautiously took the berry but did not eat it, even as she stroked it's leaves tenderly. Then slowly, carefully, she took an empty Pokeball from her bag, pressed its button and placed it on the ground beside the Oddish, for as Rose Mary had said, a grass type Pokemon would be. The small Pokemon looked at the Pokeball uncertainly."It's alright. I will look after you." She promised. "Cynders and I are going to Lily Town to earn our first Gym badge and we would like your help. Isn't that right Cynders." Surprisingly, her Cyndaquil appeared to nod, although she was not sure whether this was actually what her Pokemon did or if she just imagined it. Either way, it seemed to work. Oddish seemed to sigh and gave a kind of shrug, and then quite calmly climbed into the open Pokeball, which closed as soon as Oddish was inside. Petal picked it up and literally jumped with joy. It was only her first day as a Pokemon trainer and already she had caught two wild Pokemon. Along with her Cyndaquil, that made three in her team. One more and she would have enough to challenge the Lily Town Gym.First though, she really needed to rest and her Pokemon would need to recover properly before they would be fit enough to battle anyone. Petal sat back down on the grass, back on the opposite side of the path to the scorched bush, and pulled some food from her bag. It was a bread roll with a couple of slices of ham and cheese between the two halves. Rose Mary was by now long gone. Perhaps she would not even stop at the village, but carry on to the next one. Travel was a lot faster on a bicycle after all. Biting into her sandwich, she vowed to get one, or perhaps find another way to speed her journey. First though, she decided it would be best to head for the inn, just as soon as she had finished her bread roll.

conversations.value: Prof. Dr. Naimis: Indeed Rose Mary wouldn't stop at any Inn or one of the few small villages along the way, she preferred to stay the night outside with only her team as company, sleeping in a sleeping bag on the ground instead of under a blanket on a bed. It might seem strange, especially considering that she had grown up spoiled and rich, but Rose Mary actually slept better in a tent than in a house. That she there had the privacy for some alone time or some experimentation with her Pokemon Team was an added bonus, but she wouldn't say that out loud, no way.-Perhaps it was because she was a human or simply because of happenstance, but along the way none of the Pokemon living in the area would attack or bother Petal. Here and there a few wild Pokemon would look at her before scurrying off, be them small Rattatas, Bunearys or Pidoofs. The road was quite scenic really, curving softly and leading through flower fields, open grassy areas and along a patchwork of fields, hedges and small groups of trees who did not deserve the name woods or forests.There was actually no village in walking distance from Tulip Town along the road, the small Inn that Rose Mary had pointed out to Petal was actually a lone standing older house with low windows, a thatched roof, thick wooden beams and red brick walls, though inside lined with wood. It was old, comfy and stood just a stone throw away from the road, in front of a large field which in turn was framed by flowers and hedges and a small stream. The only thing giving away that it was a small Inn was the large sign at the side of the road, reading:Inn. Trainers stay for free.In front of the building on a bench, peeling potatoes and humming a tune under her breath, a nice looking adult woman sat on a bench, dangling her feet as she worked. And next to her lay a big, brown, snoring pile of fur... which turned to be a sleeping Piloswine. Should Petal walk up to her, the woman would of course welcome her with a big grin, if not then she would simply wave enthusiastically.
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Mek!: "Piloswine. Ice type Pokemon."The Pokedex declared as Petal approached the inn."This long haired Pokemon uses its tusks to dig up buried food."It was gettingdark by the time Petal reached the inn, dusk had descended quickly as the sun had set, but it was still a warm evening. She wondered at the presence of an ice type Pokemon on the Lily Road, for the poor Piloswine must have been sweltering under all that fur. Perhaps it had been left there by a trainer. The Pokemon was fast asleep and did not stir as she passed by, heading for the door where a sign offered free bed and breakfast to all Pokemon trainers. Petal was grateful for this and hoped that there was a room available for her.  Inside though, the desk was empty with just a lonely looking button that was begging to be pressed. She did as the button requested, which produced a tinkling bell sound. A door opened from an office and an unusual figure appeared. At first, Petal thought it was a person, slightly shorter than herself and with strange blue hair pointing out from either side of its head. But as it pulled its self up onto the counter, she realised that it was a Pokemon, which looked rather put out by the lateness of the hour. It gestured towards a clock that displayed the eleventh hour with it's two hands. The Pokemon then waved at her, pointing to Petal's bag."Yes, I am a trainer." She replied. "Can I have a room for the night?" The Pokemon, which looked quite elderly and was covered in bright pink spots, thought for a moment before nodding and it's hands around in a roughly circular shape to produce a key that appeared seemingly from out of thin air. Then, jumping down onto the floor, the Pokemon to Petal by the hand and led her around the counter, up a staircase and along a corridor lined with doors. Petal looked around her, where pictures lined the gaps between the doors. They all appeared to show photos of a woman standing next to Pokemon trainers. There were some famous faces among them. She thought that she recognised at least three of the trainers, and another looked very familiar. Petal could not be sure, but she thought it might have been her father when he was a Pokemon Trainer. They reached the door at the far end of the corridor and the key opened it, while the elderly Pokemon instructed her silently to enter."Mr Mime."The Pokedex read when she was inside and had closed the door."The pantomime Pokemon. It communicates by casting invisible shapes in the air to convince people that they are seeing something real."Turning away from the door, Petal found that the room was sparsely furnished with just a bed, wardrobe and a small desk. On the desk was a glass and a jug of water, and a machine with a symbol on the side shaped like a Pokeball. She went to the machine first, which she recognised as a Pokemon incubator. Petal took out her three Pokeballs and placed them inside, filling three of the six available slots. The machine was not capable of healing injured Pokemon, but it would help them regenerate some of their strength while she slept. Sleep was definitely something Petal needed after a long day, so to the bed she turned next, stripped from her clothes and climbed naked into the empty bed

conversations.value: Prof. Dr. Naimis: The small Inn was at the moment not very busy, the new season for fresh Pokemon trainers hadn't yet started and as this was Route 1, there was very little traffic from older trainers around these parts. Not to say that there wasn't any at all, but certainly not much. In fact, Petal was one of only two guests, the other one having arrived a day prior and taking his sweet time in traveling further, enjoying the calm to read a good book and give his team a time to relax.During the night, Petal was left alone, she was allowed to enjoy a good nights rest after a stressfull, long day, at least that was the assumption everyone had. It was on the next morning that she was awoken by a soft knock on her door, made by the nice looking woman she had passed the evening before, wishing to waking her up and wishing her a good morning. And to also invite her to enjoy a good, hearty breakfast with her, her Pokemon, her teenage son and, if he said yes as well, the other guest currently staying at the small Inn.
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Mek!: "Oddish uses Razor Leaf as its primary attack."The Pokedex stated"It can also use Stun Spore and Absorb."Petal smiled warmly at the Oddish as it stood at the foot of the bed looking up at her while she packed her bag. She was ready for another day of adventure and her Pokemon were just as refreshed as she was. Petal opened a Pokeball and let the small blue Pokemon jump in, and then took her bag and headed downstairs. The woman who ran the inn had promised a hearty breakfast and she would need plenty of sustenance before she set off on her journey once more. There was no telling what lay upon the road ahead, but she knew a few things about it. It was a still a few days of walking to reach the Lily Town Gym. The road would pass through several villages, while the foot ran through farmland where the fields were likely to have plenty of bug type Pokemon. But mostly, she knew that which ever way she went, she should be able to reach the Route One Pokemon Centre by the end of the day. Petal thought about that as she padded downstairs and walked into inn's small dining area where breakfast was to be served.
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Prof. Dr. Naimis: The dining area was actually more of a dining room, right next to the kitchen, and looked more like it belonged into a home than into an inn or a hotel of the sorts, with a thick rug on the floor, pictures on the walls, comfortable looking if somewhat old chairs and an old piano staying in the back. The woman who ran the Inn, who had introduced herself as Emma, was busy setting the table, humming a happy merry tune under her breath as she moved. She was somewhat over thirty, perhaps, or perhaps she looked young for her age, but she sure moved gracefully and with quite the energy through the room, a swing to her steps and her movements. Wearing a pretty flowery dress and an apron she looked like the typical housewife, though one that took care of herself, with ample curves and otherwise a slim, fit figure. She was the currently only one there, aside from Petal as she came inside, but she was setting the table for four people."Oh, hello my dear," said Emma as she spotted Petal, smiling brightly at her. "Come, have a seat. Say, what Pokemon do you have with you? I am sure I can whiz up something to their tastes, I totally forgot to ask as I woke you up, I'm sorry."That was the moment the massive ball of fur called a Piloswine came trodding into the dining area, directly past the two female humans and towards the piano. Not that it would play, not that it could, but as he reached the place he simply all but fell down onto the floor in an absolutely ungainly fashion, turning into some sort of breathing massive pillow. And then promptly falling asleep again. "Oh, that's Pilu," explained Emma, smiling. "He's not the youngest anymore. A client simply left him here, that mean man, and since then he has stayed here with my son and me. He's a big softy, mostly sleeping and eating by now, enjoying his twilight years in peace."
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Mek!: Petal took a long look at the Piloswine before sitting down at the table. The large, hairy Pokemon was much easier to recognise by the light of day and she felt sorry for it, for it seemed sad that anyone would abandon a Pokemon, especially so far from it's natural habitat. By the looks of things, Emma was looking after it pretty well at least and it seemed to have a good home."My brother is studying Ice type Pokemon on Kelp Island." Petal replied to the woman. She picked up the menu and looked through the breakfast options as they talked, discussing the distant island and some other Ice type Pokemon that Emma had known. The table spread had a bowl with a selection of bread rolls that sat next to a platter of sliced hams and cheeses. There was a butter dish and chocolate spread also, four glasses and jugs of orange juice and water. Behind which, she noticed several small jars of jams and preserves next to a rack of freshly made toast. For Petal, this would be more than enough choice for breakfast, but the menu offered even more options with choices of cereal, eggs prepared in various different ways and cooked breakfasts with bacon and sausages too. She was still deciding when two boys walked into the dining room.Both boys looked quite similar, although one was somewhat older than the other and the older one was clearly a Pokemon trainer. Emma introduced them as they both sat down at the table. The younger one was said to be Emma's son, who was nearly nine and really wanted to be a Pokemon trainer too. The older one had come from Marram City and had already collected the Lily Town Gym Badge. He was travelling north to Poplar City next, but had stopped at the inn for a few days to rest. The boy she learned, was named Johann and had recently turned thirteen, but had started on his Pokemon journey a lot later than most trainers. They talked through their breakfast, discussing the routes ahead and behind them. She offered Johann and battle, a chance to try her luck against another trainer for the first time, but Emma insisted that she did not allow trainers to battle each other at her inn as she did not care to see Pokemon fighting.Petal ordered a boiled egg for her breakfast, took two bread rolls from the bowl and added a few slices of Parma ham and Cheddar cheese to them once they had been buttered. Emma's son listened through out to everything the two trainers had to say, interrupting only to share details of Pokemon and their trainers who had stayed at the inn. Petal though, was far more interested in what Johann had to say, for he had already been where she was going and had earned a badge already. She decided that it was a shame he was going in the opposite direction to her, for it would be nice to have a friend to travel and share the adventure with. Perhaps she would meet someone else on the way to Lily Town.When breakfast was finished, Emma offered to make some sandwiches from the left over bread and bag it up for Petal to take with her. It was a kind offer that she did not care to refuse. It would be a long day of walking and she hoped to reach the Route One Pokemon Centre before it closed for the day, so having a fresh lunch prepared would save time by not needing to stop for food along the way. She said goodbye to Johann, Emma and her son, then headed out into the new day and the big wide world that awaited her.
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Prof. Dr. Naimis: Other than the day before, it wasn't a very sunny day, in fact it was overcast and the sky had the color of iron and lead, some low hanging clouds looking quite menacing and ready to pour out their wet load any second. The weather forecast had promised a chance for rain of only 20 %, but this looked more like 80 or 90. But for the moment, it was dry. Yet. But also colder than they day before, with the wind a bit more sharp and sometimes downright howling, not merely a small breeze as it usually always was.Johann wished Emma goodbye and good luck in Lily Town, also giving her some pointers what to look out for with the Gym Leader, Antje, a girl who seemed quite laid back and relaxed but had a very competitive streak when it went to battling. Both Emma and her son wished her luck and the best, waving after her as she left.-The tent was refusing to be took down, fighting the young girl at every way. It was a good tent, small enough to be set up by a single person... but the opposite way was quite, well, the opposite it seemed. Or it was just having a bad day or something. Or the girl was having a bad day, also possible. In short, little Lily was not having a good start into the day. First off, she had not slept well, not at all, shivering and shaking and rolling around all the time. Second of all, breakfast had to be cut short because she had only small supplies left, having completely miscalculated and having forgotten the time the day before hunting after a Deerling... which she hadn't caught in the end. And now this.Frustrated, tired, grumpy, moody and ready to burst into tears, Lily had a meltdown of epic proportions. "YOU GODDAMN SCREWING SCREW YOU DAMN TENT SCREW YOU ARGH UNGH DAMN SHIT CHARIZARD BURN YOU DOWN SCREW ARGH DAMN DAMN SHIT DAMN ARGH SCREW THIS!!"In the distance a few flying types flew off. Somewhere a small normal type pokemon scurried off. But otherwise nothing happened. Lily still stood there, glaring at the tent. She really, really wished she hadn't stayed out here. If she had been faster the day before, she could have made it to the Pokemon Center, spending a night there, instead of like this. After having spend her first night in the Inn further back the Route, this had actually been her first night camping out, just because she had chased after that single Pokemon. With a sigh she looked to her new best friend, asking with a somewhat dry tone, "You wouldn't know how to do this, would you?"The only response she got was a raised eyebrow from the lazy looking Turtwig, before the Pokemon then shrugged."Yeah, that's what I thought."Turtwig gave his trainer a questioning look, actually considering if he wouldn't be better off back at the Professor's Lab. But no, Lily wasn't so bad, just... a bit moody at the moment. The 10 year old girl was originally not from Tulip Town, instead she was a City bred and raised native from Poppyton. Her mother had been a trainer, her father had been a trainer, her four older sisters were all trainers and her older brother was a hot-shot trainer currently touring other regions to win badges there and take names. It had always been her destiny, so to speak, to become a trainer as well thus two days before she had been given her first own Pokemon, a calm, somewhat lazy yet very friendly Turtwig.She was small, even for her age, with long black hair she wore in bangs, a heart shaped face and big blue eyes. Her skin had a swarty hue to it, something not native to the region, but not that dark that it was easy to place her. And her other featured looked quite normal for the region. At the moment she wore a lime green open hoodie that was a bit too big for her, a black tank top and black hotpants, her feet clad in bright red and white shoes."Well, fine..." With a grunt she tried once more to get the tent to do what she wanted. She was not gonna loose her first battle to a tent, hell no. Well, okay, her first battle she had lost against a small pack of icky bug type Pokemon, but that doesn't count, ganging up on her was cheating. Yeah.

conversations.value: Mek!: The path that led from the inn was much straighter than it had been the day before, traversing across lowlands that were broken only by the boundaries of fields and the occasional farm. Also contrast to the previous day, the road was now to the west of the path instead of the east, for the path had crossed the road on the previous day. Something else that had changed overnight was the weather and Petal pouted at the darkening clouds that threatened rain. Trees were dotted along the path on either side, but they were quite spread out and offered little in the way of shelter. However, she was happy to be continuing on her adventure and felt in a decidedly positive mood. She had been fed, as had her Pokemon, and she looked forward to whatever the new day would bring.She had not walked far when she saw a woman walking a Poochyena, who greeted her kindly as she passed. There were a few other people out walking their Pokemon, including a beautiful Stoutland that had bounded up to her and begged to be stroked. To her delight, the Stoutland’s owner, a middle aged man called George, offered Petal a Pokemon battle. There was a small clearing on the side of the path close to where they had met, and she agreed that it would be an excellent chance to have her first battle against another trainer. Petal was surprised though, George did not use his Stoutand for the battle. Instead he produced a Pokeball from his pocket and released a different Pokemon.“Lillipup” The Pokedex said by way of identifying the Pokemon. “This puppy Pokemon is friendly, obedient and easy raise.” This battle would involve just one Pokemon each, and so Petal selected her Cyndaquil.“Cynders, tackle attack.” She commanded. The small fire type Pokemon leaped from its Pokeball, sprang forwards from its hind legs and charged towards the Lillipup, which dodged out the way at George’s quick warning. The Lillipup was only small, about the same size as her Cyndaquil, but it responded quickly with a sharp Bite that caught Cyndaquil on the right foreleg. Her Pokemomn whimpered and retreated.“Its alright Cinders.” She said comfortingly. “We can still do this. Give it your Fire Wheel attack.” Cyndaquil appeared to nod in response, and launched its self forward once more. This time though, it tucked its little head down as it approached the Lillipup at quite a surprising pace and rolled into a ball as the flames on its back flared. The Lillipup did not have time to dodge again, and was struck by the full force of the attack, which connected in a shower of sparks and sent the other Pokemon flying backwards into the feet of its trainer. It tried to get back up, but after two attempts, the Lillipup sagged in exhaustion.“Well done.” George said, congratulating Petal as he picked the defeated Lillipup up and put it back into its Pokeball. “That is a very powerful attack your Cyndaquil used.” Petal thanked him and said goodbye, before heading on her way once more. Some distance further on she passed a large farm, and the path climbed up onto a dyke, a kind of flood defence that followed along the side of a canal. The route was fairly quiet at that time in the morning with just the occasional walkers, the odd runner and not many Pokemon to be seen either. The canal was narrow, nothing to be compared with the network of waterways around Lily Town, but the view was still beautiful in spite of the weather. Some low clouds were starting to threaten a sudden shower, and Petal stopped at the entrance to a campsite. She wondered if this was the place Rose Mary had stayed that night, for the girl had expressed a preference for sleeping under the stars. Petal had been walking for a couple of hours though and noon was creeping up quickly, so she figured that the other girl would be long gone by now. Even so, there were still a few tents still standing and a one was in the process of being taken down.
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Prof. Dr. Naimis: Petal arrived at the entrance of the campground on which Lily was still fighting with her tent, growing more and more frustrated by the minute. And by the way the campsite was not actually where Rose Mary had stayed, she had in fact decided to camp really outdoors, between the trees of a small wooded area, away from prying eyes. For... reasons.Besides Lily, none of the other campers were to be seen, they were either inside their tents or somewhere else and point in fact, one of the tents had been abandoned here and had no current owner. Noticing the presence of Petal, Lily's Turtwig got up and walked over to his trainer, giving the black haired trainer a small nudge with his head to get her attention. "Turt.""Yeah?" Following the direction in which Turtwig was then looking, Lily spotted Petal as well, immediately blushing as she realized how stupid she must look. "Ummm... hello... ummm... I'm..."She made a step forward, which prompted the line she had held to suddenly be pulled on and in the next second the tent she had fought with collapsed like a puppet with it's strings cut. Ready to be put away. For a moment Lily stared at the tent, then she looked back to Petal. "Thanks."And she really seemed to mean that.
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Mek!: At just nine years, nine months and ten days old, Petal's ambition was to  become the youngest Pokemon trainer ever to earn a gym badge. One day  she hoped to be the youngest winner of the Teikuni Pokemon  League, but she knew that was a lot to wish for and a long way off yet.  She was not a particularly tall girl, probably about average for her  age. She had long brown hair that matched her eyes and the abundance of  freckles on her face and arms. But the effect of this combination made  her appear even younger than she was. Her father always said that it  made her look really cute. At that moment though, she found herself  staring at something even more cute than her. A Turtwig. She had never  seen one and was captivated by its tiny green face and the two bright  leaves that had sprouted from its head."You're  welcome." Petal replied uncertainly to the girl. "I think?" At first  she thought the girl must have been talking to someone else, but there  was nobody there except her. When her gaze lifted from the Turtwig and  took in the girl who had spoken though, Petal paused. She had never seen  someone quite so disheveled, and yet Petal took an instant liking to  the girl. The other girl looked perhaps a year or two older and more  developed physically, but was actually shorter than Petal with  strikingly blue eyes in contrast to her wild black hair. She let her  trailing foot hang on its toes, swiveling by the ankle."I'm Petal." She said, trying to muster some confidence.

conversations.value: Prof. Dr. Naimis: "I'm Petal," said the brown haired girl with the abundance of freckles on her face and arms."Oh, yeah, um..." Suddenly feeling very stupid for not having introduced herself first, Lila blushed bright crimson and chided herself in her thoughts. And then she needed a moment to realize that she still hadn't introduced herself and blushed even more, wincing at her own awkwardnes. "Ummm, hi, nice to meet you Petal, I'm Lily. Freshly baked trainer and kind of worst tent-user ever apparently... Ummm, yeah..."Next to her, Turtwig rolled his eyes at his trainers awkwardness."Oh and yeah," added Lilly quickly, whirling around and all but presenting Turtwig. "This is Turtwig, my new best friend... He's like super cute and cool and we're going to become the bestest pokemon trainer team ever... Um, I hope. I mean, I think. I wish. Gosh, I should stop talking. Shutting up now."If he could Turtwig would have slapped his forehead with his foot."Soooo..." began Lily then, trying to forget how she had messed up the first impression totally. "You from... around here or... A trainer too or... Ummm..." While she stumbled over her words, she already began to put away the tent now, pulling out tent pegs.
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Mek!: Petal smiled bashfully as the other girl attempted to introduce herself. The girl seemed full of words that sprouted forth much like the leaves on her Turtwig, but lacked a cohesive form that she might consider a sentence and appeared to be equally conscious of it too. Yet she found the whole thing quite endearing. Petal was was not a particularly talkative person, for she rarely said anything if there was nothing useful or important to be said. She would not have considered herself to be an overly shy girl either, but in that instant she had become so overwhelmed with shyness that she had no idea what to say. It took all she could to not blush with embarrassment at her own reaction to the other girl's quirky introduction. Fortunately, Lily seemed quite capable of speaking for both of them. It was only when Lily had stumbled through a question, while also stumbling over a tent peg that was wedged in too deep, that Petal finally recovered herself."Uh huh." She nodded. "I'm a trainer." She replied slightly louder than she had meant to, and then clarified in a softer tone, "a Pokemon trainer. But it is only my second day." She added, moving to help Lily with the rather stubborn tent pegs. "I am going to Lily Town." She tugged upon the tent peg with all her strength, and when it suddenly came loose, she fell backwards onto the grass with a soft thud before she asked, "Which way are you going?"
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Prof. Dr. Naimis: Together with Petal, Lily managed to get the tent peg out of the ground, however in the next moment the two girls fell and Lily yelped in surprise as she hit the grassy ground with her behind. More in shock than in pain really. "Which way are you going?" asked Petal.Lily already climbed back onto her feet and offered her hand to Petal to help her up again. "Oh, I'm going to Lily Town too... And, um, it kinda sounds stupid, Lily going to Lily Town, but... Yeah, I'm going the traditional route, like... Um, yeah."She fumbled for words for a moment, before she just stopped and turned back to her tent, quickly pulling out the last few tent pegs and then starting ti properly put it together and packing it away. "So, I'm on my third day... I haven't even caught any Pokemon yet, just Turtwig... I nearly caught a Bunelby, but it ran away before I could throw the Pokeball and then yesterday I tried to catch a Deerling but it got away and I ran after it and I got lost and then it was nearly dark and... Um, yeah, I must be the, like worst trainer ever..."The last words she more or less mumbled, blushing, looking down, before she pushed that thought to the side. "So, what Pokemon do you have?"
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Mek!: Sat unceremoniously upon the ground Petal wondered at what Lily had said, for something did not make sense to her. When she had received Cynders form Professor Maple, he had claimed that it was difficult to get decent starting Pokemon and she had been the first in several months to receive one. But if Lily had received her Turtwig in Tulip town too, and just the day before no less, then why would the Professor have lied about it. Or perhaps Petal had simply miss heard, or something. She dismissed it as being her mistake, which was always the most likely outcome and she gave Lily a grateful smile as the other girl helped her up, enjoying the unexpected physical contact. Petal stood however, with all the grace of a Girafarig on ice, which she recalled seeing in a funny Poketube video her brother had sent to her a few weeks earlier."Deerling are difficult to catch." She offered, brushing the grass from her dress. Her father had been given one in a trade and used it when he won his first Pokemon League tournament, but he had never been able to catch one himself. "Professor Maple gave me a Cyndaquil." She added, answering Lily's question, "and we caught a Pidove yesterday." Considering Lily's admission of not catching anything, Petal tried not to sound too proud of her achievement in catching something on her first day, but it was difficult, for she was very excited about it. So much so, that she forgot to mention her Oddish completely."As we are going the same way..." Petal continued thoughtfully, still trying to cover her excitement. "Perhaps we could walk together?" The way it came out of her mouth, it sounded as though the idea had just that moment popped into her head when in truth it had been there since the moment Lily had introduced herself. There was something in their little meet-cute that gave Petal the impression that she and Lily might soon become the very best of friends. But then she had felt a similar urge when she had met Rose Mary too, although that girl was quite different. Maybe it was just the general hope of making a friend that caused her to feel that way, but Lily did seem very nice in a clumsy and rather unusual sort of way, and the moment she had asked, she suddenly felt very self conscious and apprehensive about it. So she added "For a little while at least." and "If you would like to." to the end of her question just in case.

conversations.value: Prof. Dr. Naimis: "Perhaps we could walk together? For a little while at least. If you would like to," asked Petal, a question which immediately warmed the insides of Lily for some reason. Petal seemed like a nice girl, she had helped Lily with that stupid tent peg she had driven in too deep, so perhaps this could work out. And she was her age, so that was nice.Lily nodded eagerly, perhaps a bit too eagerly. "Sure, yay, of course, um..." She blushed again, but grinned brightly as she packed up the formerly so stubborn tent and put it away into her large, perhaps a bit too large, backpack. "It's sooo late already and I haven't even started today, we should go, I'm like such a klutz, I guess it would be good to have someone with me who can push me a bit and... Um, yeah. Turtwig isn't exactly the best at that."The green grass Pokemon with tortoise like features had already made a case in point, lying there and lazing around, appearing as if he could laze around the whole day."Come on you lazy butt, we gotta go," whined Lily to him, at which he stood up and trotted up to her. Lily bend down and scratched him under his chin, which he seemed to enjoy, before then pulling out a Pokeball and returning Turtwig to it. That being done she stood up again, looking at Petal. "Okay, um... after you?"None of them knew it, but it was true what Professor Maple hadn't lied and neither had Petal misheard, she had really been the first to get a decent starter Pokemon in months... from him. Because although Lily didn't know it, Turtwig had been given to her by Professor Maple, but only in proxy, in truth it had been her family which had given the Pokemon to the professor just a day prior, asking him to give it to her so that she wouldn't feel like she got everything from her family. It was perhaps a bit cheating, but... Well, who could really blame Lily's parents for wanting to make their little girl happy? And having seen Lily with Turtwig, hugging him and declaring him her best friend, had been worth it.
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Mek!: With the tent packed away into Lily's bag, which looked like it  might actually be bigger than her, Petal considered the possibility of  challenging her new friend to a trainer battle. However, before the  thought manifested into words, she spotted the large sign that stated  Pokemon battles were not permitted in the camp sight under any  circumstances. In fairness, some Pokemon attacks could be quite  destructive, damaging to more than just other Pokemon. Whole competition  arenas could be wrecked when their full force was unleashed. It was a  shame, but as they were to walk to Lily Town together, she could have  that battle at any time. Besides, Lily only had one Pokemon so far, and  her Turtwig had not yet one a battle. Not even one against a wild  Pokemon. Petal decided that she would help Lily with that.She  left the campsite behind as the path led her back up onto the dyke,  Lily following close behind. They turned south, following the path that  would lead them eventually to Lily Town and Petal explained her  intention to reach the Route One Pokemon Centre before nightfall. On the  horizon the low fog had perceptibly lifted, but the weather had not  really changed, clouds still covered the sky and the potential for rain  continued to threaten so dampen the day. The dull grey of the overcast  sky was reflected in the water of the canal that ran along beside them  for a while before the path turned back towards the road.Petal  struggled with small talk. She had never found much use for it before  and did not care to say things unless it needed to be said. That left a  lot of awkward silence though, and Petal did not feel particularly  comfortable with that either. She liked Lily and wanted the girl to  think well of her, like an equal if that was possible. Despite her  height, or lack there of, Lily still was older and more mature, even if  it didn't exactly show. Appearances could be deceiving, but making a  good impression was important if they were going to become good friends.  So with that thought in mind, she considered something useful to say,  things that would keep the conversation going and break up the monotony  of walking along a seemingly perpetual path. It took some doing, but  eventually she settled upon talking about Lily Town and why she had  never been there before."Have you see the  belts you can clip your Pokeballs to?" Petal asked after a while. "I am  thinking of getting one. It could be useful."

conversations.value: Prof. Dr. Naimis: It might have been hard to believe, but Lily was perhaps even more nervous than Petal was. She might have had it easier hiding it, distracting herself with looking around after just perhaps a hundred meters or so she left Turtwig out of his Pokeball again, having him follow her, which he did without a problem. He toddled along after her at a pace that was quite fast for a creature that chunky and stubby and small. Because let's face it, tortoise shaped plant creatures are not the fastest around. Thus perhaps it would have been easier to call Turtwig back into his Pokeball, or not let him out again at all, and carry him that way, but Lily had gotten used to have him around, it just felt more natural to her. She had grown up surrounded by Pokemon of all kind, suddenly not having one around was a bit strange to her.Petal and Lily followed the road back down the dyke towards the road, but not quite reaching it, running paralel to it for a while, perhaps a hundred meters afar. Only now and then a car would pass them, it was a very rural area and many people preferred to either ride by bike or make use of the excellent train system crossing the region. Thus not many cars were to be seen, even in such a rather densely populated area.When Petal asked if Lily had seen those belts one could clip the Pokeballs onto, Lily's eyes lit up. "Yes, they are great, right?" she immediately gushed, her nervousnes forgotten and happily beginning to babble over the many different items tailor made for trainers. Belts, rucksacks, boots, carrying devises for your favorite Pokemon, saddles for larger Pokemon, sturdy yet stylish clothing, vests with all the items you could need at a handy place... She was a bit of a fan girl to be honest. And she actually knew a lot about it, having grown up with a family of trainers. Though not so much about normal conversation, not realizing if she was intimidating or startling or having whatever else effect on Petal.The path made a sudden sharp curve to the right, along yet another small canal, and then turned south again across a romantic stone bridge leading over the canal. To the left an open field across which one could see the road, to the right an area of high grass, wild flowers, a few trees and hedges and it was from this that right in front of the two girls, perhaps ten yards or so, a small purple Pokemon scampered onto the path, sniffing the ground. Lily stopped short, startled. "Look... A Nidoran... male... Ummm... Do you want to or should I...?"Lily looked, suddenly very nervous again, to Petal, obviously unsure of what to do. If the Nidoran♂ had noticed them yet, it didn't show it.
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Mek!: For a long while as the path and road had run side by side through miles of countryside Petal had listened to her new friend excitedly discussing the finer points of trademarked Pokemon merchandise, the latest styles for Pokemon trainers and their fans, the best equipment to buy and the most useful designs for new trainers. Petal had not realised that the subject was quite so expansive and Lily had a surprisingly vast knowledge of it all. They had spoken about the belts to begin with, the one that Petal had thought of getting and advantages of various other types that Lily had seen. Then the conversation had moved on to bags, for apparently the one she was carrying was just the most basic type, and there were many other styles for more advanced trainers. What exactly the level of a trainer's advancement had to do with what type of bag they carried, Petal could not fathom, but Lily spoke with ever increasing enthusiasm about it all to the point where it became infectious. But when the conversation reached trainer bras and other fashionable underwear, Petal began thinking that it might be time to change the subject.Having become so wrapped up in what Lily was telling her though, she had lost track of how far they had walked and that the path had diverged from the road until it crossed the canal. She was not certain whether this was the same canal as before or a different one, but then canals do all look rather similar. This one though, had a quaint stone bridge where the path crossed over the water, which she thought would have been very pretty and picturesque if the sun was shining upon it. She was still admiring the architecture and masonry of the canal crossing when Lily pointed out the Nidoran, who was sitting quite obliviously on the edge of the path at the far end of the bridge. It was definitely a male, for it had the distinctive colouring that she knew differed from the lighter coloured females. She recalled that Professor Maple had been particularly interested in the relationships between male and female Nidoran, and had written a significant scientific essay on the subject. She felt a build up of excitement upon seeing the Pokemon, a sensation that was starting to become familiar. But she had planned to help Lily catch her first wild Pokemon and was resolved to that goal."Go ahead." She said, then added. "You saw it first." The male Nidoran was quite large though, bigger than Lily's Turtwig and looking at the two Pokemon, Petal considered that it would not be an easy catch. "Use Turtwig's Razor Leaf attack before Nidoran spots us." She whispered as she tried to coach her friend. Coaching like that was not permitted in trainer battles, but there were no such regulations when catching wild Pokemon and Petal wanted to help Lily catch her first one. Razor Leaf was a ranged attack, which meant that Turtwig could issue a surprise strike without being seen. It was a powerful attack too, at least for a well trained Pokemon, and even Lily's Turtwig could disable the wild Pokemon with one attack at close range, but from that distance the strength of the attack would be reduced slightly. Petal stood back a bit and released her Cyndaquil from its Pokeball, and together they watched to see what Lily would do.
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Prof. Dr. Naimis: Listening to Petal coach her, Lily nodded eagerly, not having any real experience with catching Pokemon. Sure, she had often dreamed about it and thought about how it would be, but of course it wasn't that easy in reality and as she had no experience whatsoever, she was happy to have Petal with her as the younger girl clearly was a lot more level headed and experienced in this. What a strange thing, the younger girl actually being more mature. Not that it bothered Lily, she didn't even think about it, she was just happy to have her there, nodding as she listened to Petal speak."Okay," she then whispered fiercely and set her face in a determined, and cute, scowl. She pulled out a Pokeball from the side pocket of her backpack and then carefully, slowly, crept closer to the wild Nidoran. As she had crossed the bridge perhaps halfway the Nidoran however sniffed the air and turned around, now facing the girls. Having hoped to surprise the small poison Pokemon, Lily all but paniked."Quick!" she yelled. "Turtwig, use Razor Leaf!"Turtwig in turn, who had followed after Lily, gave her an annoyed look and then simply let his head hang slightly. For a moment Lily stared at him, before blushing. "Oh, right, you can't do that yet... Ummm..."However, the Nidoran wasn't having any of it and with an angry hiss it fully faced the trainer and her Pokemon, his ears twitching, his teeth showing, his backside shaking, ready to pounce. And giving Turtwig an angry glare, actually an attack, a so called "Leer"."Ummm, Turtwig use... ummm..." Lily obviously panicked, having no idea what to do. She all but mewled in horror at her own inability to do anything and with a frustrated snarl she did the first thing she could think off: She threw the Pokeball.Perhaps not having expected something like this to happen, the purple Pokemon didn't even dodge, just looking at the Pokeball with wonder, before being hit square on the snout and being dragged into the ball with a red light. Lily gasped, surprised at herself and this development, shaking with nervous energy, biting her lower lip while next to her Turtwig watched it all with practically a bored look. The ball shook once... twice... and then sat still, the button blinking red once. For a moment Lily stared at it, then turned back to Petal. "Ummmm... did I do it?"
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Mek!: "You did." Petal replied perplexed as she stared in amazement at  the Pokeball. "Though I'm not sure how." By all rights, it should not  have been possible. There was no way that throwing a ball at a Pokemon  could have worked without weakening it first. The Nidoran did not appear  to be weak either, for its had stood defiant and it's attack had dealt a  serious blow to Lily's Turtwig. Yet it had not dodged the Pokeball, or  defied it's grasp. Petal had not encountered many different Pokemon  before her adventure began, for only the common farming species were  bred in Tulip Town. But she knew a good amount the theory of it all and  she definitely knew Pokeballs were not meant to work like that. In fact,  the only way a wild Pokemon could be caught without battling against it  first was if had already been weakened by another Pokemon, or if it  actually wanted to be caught. But to Petal it was improbable that any  wild Pokemon would freely choose to be caught... unless..."Lily..."  The bushes rustled again, sending a chill down her spine and Petal  instinctively backed away down the path. She had no idea what it what  was, but she felt an urgent need to get moving along their journey to  Lily town. Yet there was also a curiosity in her that longed to find out  what was in the bushes, to see what had caused the Nidoran to jump into  her Pokeball. Whatever it was, it was large and powerful. It thrashed  loudly as it moved, prompting her to take another step back."Lily,  come on." She repeated her warning. Then it appeared, pushing its way  out onto the path between them and the bridge. Petal held out her  Pokedex."Onix."The computerized voice responded. "A rock type Poke..."The  Pokemon did not seem inclined to stop and more precisely, it looked to  be angry. Very angry indeed. It looked like a giant Ekans, but it's body  looked as though it were built of solid granite with edges to each segment so sharp it could probably cut through whole trees like a wire through cheese. The beast was more  powerful than any Pokemon she had ever encountered and Petal doubted  that any of her three Pokemon could put a mark on it, even if they  fought all together. Then, just when she was certain the Onix would  carry on it's way it turned sharply, heading directly toward them."Run!" She screamed.

conversations.value: Prof. Dr. Naimis: (That's how my little brother caught his first Pokemon ever... little bugger was always a bit too lucky with this stuff, I was kinda annoyed :) )Having ran forward to grab the Pokeball and craddling it closely to herself, Lily looked back at Petal, just as amazed as her friend seemed to be, really not sure what to do. But when Petal spoke her name in a warning tone, for a moment Lily was confused, not knowing what to make of this, seeing how her friend backed away down the path. She didn't immediately notice that the bushes were rustling and even if, not connecting it with any sort of danger. Rusluing bushes meant Pokemon and Pokemon were awesome, right?Well, not so awesome when they weight several tons and seem to be quite angry, or at least aggressive, and as the massive Onix appeared Lily froze in shock and only gasped and yelped in a high pitched voice. Of course she knew that she wouldn't stand a chance, even though Turtwig was a grass type and grass types are strong against rock types but... Yeah, no chance.When Petal screamed, it was what pulled Lily from her shock and acting on pure instinct she grabbed Turtwig and simply ran, not thinking to put her Pokemon back into his Pokeball. She simply acted, running faster than ever before, barreling down the path as fast as she could, screaming. "Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh!  ""ONIX!"And the giant rock type Pokemon hot on their heels, rumbling and growling and making the sound of an oncoming rockslide and most likely just as dangerous.
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Mek!: Onix had towered over them, rumbling a deep, aggressive growl. For a moment Petal thought that Lily might be silly enough to try battling the massive rock Pokemon, or perhaps just throw a Pokeball at it, just as she had with the Nidoran. But at last, the other girl had followed Petal’s insistent desire to run. As angry as Onix was though, it did not seem inclined to give chase to the two young girls as they fled along the path. It had been disturbed from its lair and was simply defending its territory. Even so, Petal kept running until they were far out of sight. Totally out of breath, she slumped onto the grass verge overlooking the canal and began to laugh. She had never been so frightened or run so fast in all her nine years, and the whole thing suddenly seemed so very funny. A little further up, there was a house with pink walls and a white picket fence. There was also a loch gate that was closed across the canal. On the opposite side, a boy was sat holding a fishing rod and staring at the water.
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Prof. Dr. Naimis: Out of breath and shaking, Lily fell to her knees next to Petal, taking in big gulps of air, visibly shaken. "Oh man... oh man... oh man... That was far too close for comfort... wow, an Onix..."Turtwig meanwhile, having been carried all the time, trotted away a few feet and began to munch of some flowers, giving both girls an unimpressed look as he did so. He seemed to be utterly unshaken and downright bored, as if nothing was amiss and everything was perfectly fine. He was a stark contrast to his owner, who soon joined Petal in the laughter, once the adrenaline was gone and the whole episode seemed more funny than dangerous.The boy sitting opposite of the two girls looked up for only a moment, before returning his attention back to the water, obviously more interested in his fishing than the two fresh Pokemon trainers.Climbing to her feet again, Lily took a look around, seeing the house with the pink walls and the picket fence, staring for a moment at the loch gate as if she had never seen such before, she hadn't by the way, before turning to Petal. "Okay... Shall we? We... you wanted to get to the Pokemon Center before dark, so we should get going, right? I mean... And hey, I caught my first Pokemon and we nearly got killed, which is great... Um, I mean the first part of that is great, the second not so much... Ummmm, which way to go?"
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Mek!: "Yes. You did." Petal replied still giggling as she recalled that she had been there. "We did." She was laughing even as she stood up and tried to calm herself. Lily's insistence that they get moving though, was a fair point and brought Petal back to her senses."That way." She pointed down the path past the pink cottage. When it was built, it would have been the lock keeper's house, occupied by a person employed to maintain the lock gates, open them for the canal boats and keep the waters clear. Perhaps it still was. She let Lily lead the way, but the girl was correct, she did still want to reach the Pokemon Centre before it closed. It was not far away now, they had actually made decent time and were perhaps only an hour away. At least, that is what her Pokedex was telling her. The device was equipped with a fairly good GPS map. A squawk prompted her to look up to wear a flock of Fearow were flying over in formation."What attacks does Turtwig know?" She asked Lily as they set off again together. Petal recalled how the little green Pokemon had looked entirely blank when asked to use the Razor Leaf attack. She wondered why Lily's Turtwig did not know the move, for it was common to most Grass type Pokemon. It was true that not all Pokemon learned the same skills and that some trainers preferred to teach their Pokemon one really powerful attack, rather than a variety of different skills. But that only made Petal curious to know more about Lily and how she was planning to train her Pokemon. It was a subject of interest to Petal, for although she had read a lot about the techniques of numerous trainers and gym leaders, including the famous Misty Waterflower. But despite all the books, videos and blogs she had seen, Petal was still not certain which was the best way to train her own Pokemon. It was only her second day as a trainer though, and she was mostly just hoping on going with whatever works for her. It did not sound like a definitive plan, but she felt that it was probably best to simply be herself. That was what her father always said anyway.
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Prof. Dr. Naimis: Lily wasn't really the leading kind of girl, preferring to follow after Petal, happy to have the other girl lead. But she was still a bit rattled by what had happened just now and was trying to be strong and brave, thus she moved ahead, though making sure that she wasn't dashing ahead. Usually she wasn't too keen on on being the one leading, even if she was the older of the two, after all she had grown up always being the smallest, always being the youngest, always having someone else to look to for leadership. Thus following was more her style, it was just how she was usually behaving. As they walked she looked around, stopping now and then to look at something in particular, being it a wild Pokemon in the distance or just a pretty flower, before running after Petal again if the other girl had moved ahead without her."Hmmm?" As Petal asked what attacks Turtwig knew, Lily needed a moment to realize that she was being spoken to and blushed for a second. "Ummm... well, just the most basic really... Tackle and Withdraw... But, um, Withdraw isn't a real attack sooo... I guess just Tackle."Suddenly feeling a bit dumb for being so unprepared, she once more blushed crimson and cringed a bit. "I guess I'm not really good at this trainer stuff... Soooo, I wanna train like an elite team of super strong Pokemon and be best friends with all of them, but, um, I don't yet know how and I was thinking I would do it while I move along and I have no idea what I am saying, so do you think we could perhaps, um, like battle or, um, train, only if you want of course..."None of the girls knew it, but as they moved along the scenic, flower framed and beautiful path, they were moving towards the hang out of a nasty little trainer. Not a travelling trainer like them, but a local boy wanting to bully other's with the excuse of pokemon battle. As soon as he would see them, which wasn't too far off by this point, he would march up to them and demand a battle and then beat up their poor starter pokemon with his Wurmple and his Bidoof. And then take their money or if they are cute girls get a kiss or something. At least that was his plan. Until then, he waited on his log next to the road, reading a worn out comic book.
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Mek!: Petal thought about this for a while as they continued onward. The path widened slightly so that they could walk side by side for a while and converse more easily. Lily's Turtwig was a concern, for a Pokemon with only one offensive move was rather limited. It was fairly common for wild Pokemon to have such limitations until they gained some experience, but for a starter Pokemon, it was very unusual. To send a new trainer out into the world with such a weak Pokemon was a preposterous notion. A starter Pokemon had to be capable of defending it's trainer, and therefore it is required that they possessed a certain level of strength. That is why there was usually a long of potential trainers waiting to receive a suitable first Pokemon before they could start their training.Petal had been lucky, for there had been no others ahead of her in the queue for several weeks at least, and Cynders had come along at just the right moment. How Lily had managed to catch a Nidoran was quite beyond belief, but she hoped the newcomer possessed a stronger set of attacks and defensive abilities than her Turtwig. Petal felt quietly confident in her own team of Pokemon, for her Cyndaquil was already developing well, and her Oddish would be invaluable in the Lily Town Gym against the water types she would face."A battle would be fun." She agreed. "Perhaps we can battle each other when we reach the Pokemon Centre." The Route One Pokemon Centre was certain to have somewhere suitable for proper trainer battle nearby. She knew that battles could happen at any time and almost anywhere, but when choosing somewhere to challenge another trainer, she decided it was probably a good idea to have a Pokemon Centre close at hand to help heal any injured Pokemon. Battles could be terribly tiring for participating Pokemon and sometimes very dangerous too.She had decided that Lily was very similar to herself. Both of them were new to Pokemon training, shy, nervous and not really sure what they were doing. But they had both set out to be the best trainers they could be and were full of enthusiasm. Accustomed to being the youngest, smallest and least knowledgeable person she knew, Petal was not a natural leader either. Lily was older by at least a year, she was certain, yet Petal was ever so slightly taller than her new friend, which cast a level of consternation in her mind. Was the older girl looking up to Petal to make decisions, or did she just prefer to lead from the back. Either way, Petal had not a particular cause to worry about such things. She liked Lily, the ways she stood or walked, and the way she touched her hair when she blushed. It had only happened the one time, but she had found it enduring with the hope of seeing her do it again."Stop right there." A voice said in front of them, although it took Petal a moment to realise that it was not her voice or Lily's that had spoken. Before them a boy stood in the centre of the path, where he had sprung from a log a mere instant earlier. The boy looked odd in tight orange football shorts, leather sandals and long white socks. He wore a shirt that looked like it should have a school crest embroidered on it and be partnered by a tie, but none were present. The oddest thing was his height. He could not have been much older than Lily, but he was quite a bit taller and bore a striking resemblance to a broom, all thin and wiry with a cigarette balanced on his left ear. There was something unpleasant in the way he looked at the her though, with deep penetrating eyes and a thoughtful grimace, as if he were measuring her up with his eyes. A Wurmple stood by the boy's heal."You fight me if you want to pass." The boy told them with a certain menace detectable in his voice. "I challenge you." He added. Petal looked at Lily and then back to the boy."Who? Her or me?" Petal asked defensively, genuinely uncertain which of them the boy wanted to fight. He had spots on his face, she noticed, like he had been stung all over by a Beedrill or had a really bad case of the pox quite recently, while his reaction to the question betrayed a deficiency in his level of intelligence."Don't matter." He answered confidently. "I'll beat both of you." then he held up two fingers. "Two of mine verses two of yours.""So if we win, you will let us pass?" Petal replied pensively. "What happens if you win?"

conversations.value: Prof. Dr. Naimis: "Stop right there!" The voice came just as Lily wanted to say something to Petal, but the moment she heard the voice, everything she had wanted to say was forgotten. They boy that had spoken was all blunder and pomp, loud and menacing and a bit laughingly ridiculous but Lily didn't notice that. She was taken aback by how demanding and pompous he appeared, a bit intimidated even. She hadn't even had a real fight with her Pokemon before, and now this boy... Well, he didn't seem afraid, surely he was more experienced that she was. It was thus that she let Petal talk with him, not really sure how to respond herself."What happens if you win?" asked Petal and Lily wanted to know that too, thus she nodded in agreement.The boy in question grinned, which didn't look very nice, and then he said with a sort of arrogant sneer, "Then you will kiss me.""What?" asked Lily, shocked and appalled. "No way!""Then I will not let you pass! That's the rules. Our eyes have crossed, we must fight." The way he spoke made it sound like he knew what he was talking about, even if he had no real authority on the matter.Now being a bit angry, Lily gave Petal a firm, if somewhat nervous, nod and look, before turning back to the boy. "Okay. But if we win then you will let us pass AND tell us the best spot in the area to catch Pokemon."
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Mek!: A kiss. Petal looked nervously at Lily and frowned. She did not  know about Lily, for she was older, but Petal was only nine and the only  person she had ever kissed was her father, and that was only on the  cheek. Kissing boys was not the same thing, she knew that much. She did  not want to do it, for kissing boys was weird. Even her father had told  her that it was wrong. It was something for grown ups, and even that  seemed icky to her. But it was too late now. Lily had accepted the terms  and that meant they would need to win the battle to avoid the  consequences. She tried not to wonder if he would let them pass if he  got his kiss, or if that was just the beginning of his demands. At least  the rules of battle were simple to understand. The boy would fight with  two Pokemon, while the girls would get one each."That's easy." The boy replied smugly. "You'll find the best Pokemon in Brynn Wood. Now are we going to battle?""Alright." Petal nodded reluctantly. "You first.""Fine." Came the reply from her opponent. "Go Wurmple. Get me some kisses.""Alright.  I choose Cyndaquil." She said, holding out the Pokeball. Her Pokemon  pounced from it's ball, rolled and landed ready for action. "Flame Wheel  attack." She said, just as the boy ordered his Wurmple to use it's  Tackle Attack. Both Pokemon launched towards each other with her  Cyndaquil tucking its self into a fiery ball. When the two critters  collided, it was in a shower of sparks and embers. The both fell back,  but it was Cynders that responded quickest."Cynders,  finish it off with a swift attack." The Wurmple was barely upright when  it was hit again by the attack. Petal had expected a tougher challenge  from a more experienced opponent, but the boy's bug Pokemon had not been  strong enough to defend against her fire Pokemon. Defeated, the boy  recalled it and sent out his second Pokemon."Bidoof,  bite it." He shouted. "Bite it hard." Cynders was not quick enough to  dodge or fight back as the bigger, stronger Bidoof clamped it's jaw down  on her Pokemon's back."Oh..." Petal cried as  Cynders squealed in pain and collapsed in it's assailant's grasp. That  was one each, but his Bidoof was very powerful. She guessed that it must  have been his starter Pokemon and had probably fought in quite a few  battles like this one. "I guess it is your turn, Lily."
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Prof. Dr. Naimis: On the one hand, Lily was really nervous and really hoped that she didn't had to fight, that Petal would take care of it. But on the other hand, she wanted to prove herself, wanted to show what she could do herself, thus she wanted to fight as well. But that made her even more nervous and then... She watched with baited breath as Petal's Cindaquil, such a cool Pokemon, defeated the Wurmple of the boy with what looked like ease, easing Lily's worries a bit. But then she lost against the Bidoof, meaning that now it was Lily's turn. She swallowed, nodding nervously and looked to Petal for reassurance or something.But then the boy cackled dirtily, that brat, grinning lewdly. "Come on, get your Pokemon and let's end this, I will kiss you both. With tongue."Lily shuddered, dreading that notion. Taking a sharp breath she steadied herself, then stepped forward. "Turtwig, I chose you!"The green Pokemon, usually a lot more placid and slow paced, jumped forward and into between the two trainers, sizing up it's enemy. The Bidoof did the same, glaring at Turtwig."Bidoof, bite it," shouted the boy. "Bite it hard, let's end this!""Turtwig, use Withdraw!" shouted Lily, actually having prepared for this attack mentally. The furry normal Pokemon jumped at Turtwig and bit down on him, but Turtwig managed to withdraw his legs into his body and tugging in his head, making Bidoof bite down on his shell harmlessly.Once more the Bidoof bit down, before pulling back, looking like he had hurt his jaw a bit. Not that Turtwig was completely unfazed, he looked like that had hurt, but he was still able to fight. "Turtwig, Tackle!"This time it was the boy whose Pokemon wasn't quick enough to dodge and still nursing his jaw the Bidoof was hit by the grass type tackling it head first, squealing in protest."Oh no!""Again!" shouted Lily and once more Turtwig rammed his head into the side of the weakned normal type, this time even sending him flying. It didn't get up."Bidoof, come back!" snapped the boy, pulling his Pokemon back into the Pokeball, while Lily whooped and yelped in triumph, jumping up and down, even running forward and hugging Turtwig."Yay, I won my first battle! Yay! Turtwig, you're the best, like super the best, yay, whooohoooo!" Being cuddled and rubbed with the girl's hand, the grass Pokemon tried to look unfazed but he blushed like crazy. Well, as much as he could that is.
