The beautiful sights of the village were sadly lost on the fifteen year old boy that was running on his way to the Hickory lab. "Off to a great start already Mark, after arriving in the region safely what happens, you get delayed on the way here..." Rounding another corner he finally spots his goal.<br/><br/>As he enters he sees a girl looking to be his age already in company of a fennekin and a ralts. "Oh, hello there... uh, i'm not too late to get started, am i?"<br/><br/>Going further in he looks around and finds himself quickly approached by a Popplio it nuzzling against him with complete disregard for his opinion on that matter. "hehe, you're a friendly one aren't you? hey, actually i'm here to become a trainer today, wanna join my team?" it quickly exclaimed in the affirmative. "hehe, that's one spot filled. hmm? you as well, Litten?" It looked to the side but gave a light purr. "alright, if the professor will let me i'd be glad to bring you two along. now i should really introduce myself though."
