The older trainer grew sheepish with her two pokemon as they started to obviously tease and play fight on the bench they sat on. As hard as Poppy tried, the two could never get along as well as she wanted them too. It brought her back to how her cousins would act around each other. They were like rowdy sisters, and Poppy was happy to reminisce from her bulbasaur and eevee. Annie, with light green spots dotting her nose and face, climbed atop a protesting Brooke. The lazy bulbasaur didn’t seem like the strongest in the world but she was larger than the abnormally small eevee. Poppy laughed as the two played and interacted together. They caught the attention of some people passing by with younger kids who pointed and gawked at every pokemon they passed.<br/><br/>Poppy noticed she had also caught the attention of a guy sitting with a couple other people. One boy sat next to him with a magikarp, she assumed that he was his brother since they looked just vaguely similar like siblings probably would. Maybe they were cousins but she couldn’t tell. Another boy was mingling with them when a worryingly disgruntled girl walked over to the bunch, ignored by a playing machop and rufflet.<br/><br/>After a short interaction, a riolu came running over and dragged the girl away and into the forest. Poppy soon wondered if things like this were common in Kanto. Back in Johto she lived in such a small, sleepy town that she didn’t get out and see much of anything. It was one of the big reasons she yearned to travel like this. Even just on the trip to get here she had seen more than she had in her entire life. It was exhilarating.<br/>Brooke wiggled out from underneath the larger pokemon and watched the riolu and girl run away. Annie curiously climbed onto her trainer's lap before settling down for a nap.<br/><br/>After hearing the number, 338, over the intercom Poppy immediately rifled through her pockets for the paper where she wrote down her appointment information. She had written down #340 on the paper. Even though the soon to be trainer had made of a point of scheduling early she still ended up short with a fairly high number. She hadn’t been waiting long, though, and the girl was filled with excitement that matched nothing else. Brooke scampered around her to match the energy before settling on her shoulder.
