Once outside the lab, Kari wandered around town. As she walked, Chespin chittered and darted around, between her legs, off to the side, then back again, clearly excited to be going on an adventure with its new trainer. They hadn't walked long before they noticed a big crowd gathering around a stage.<br/><br/>"Looks like a concert of some kind... what do you think Chespin? Should we stay and watch? I guess we're really not in a hurry." Chespin looked at her quizzically. She decided she'd give the concert a shot, thinking she'd probably find some other new trainers in the crowd.<br/><br/>As if fate were reading her thoughts, Kari spotted a young girl following a Blissey through the crowd. Judging by the other pokemon with her, a Fennekin and a Ralts, Kari guessed that she was another new trainer. Scooping up Chespin in her arms, Kari cut through the crowd to catch up with the girl.<br/><br/>"Hey!" She called when she had finally caught up. "Hey there.... my name's Kari. I don't mean to be too forward, but are you a new trainer? I just got my first pokemon here today and I'm looking for some friends to travel with... if that's cool?" Kari extended her hand toward Kiki as a greeting. "Oh! And this is Chespin"
