Ok, that's just creepy. Move, blink. Say something!
"Ok... Can I help you in some way, are you lost?"

With no change of expression, the strange, pink-haired girl tilts her head slightly to one side. As if that is somehow helpful.

Why is 'she' looking confused at Vicky! Vicky is the one who knocks confused! She just stares back with a look of confusion on her face, as she struggles at how to connect with this strange girl.

The girl tilts her head back the other way, seeming to be waiting for Victoria to do something...or something. Her not talking is unhelpful in that regard. After an extremely awkward and uncomfortable twenty minutes, the girl finally speaks up.
"Hm. More patience than I expected." She states randomly.

Vicky blinks in further confusion.
"I mean I'm not going to just 'leave' someone on my ranch that I don't know unattented. And you weren't responding to anything I was saying so..."

"Others would have attempted to run me off by now. That you have refrained from doing so speaks to either your patience or your inability to make decisions." Strange girl replies. "I suspected that you might prefer the former over the latter; and an inability to make decisions in a reasonable time frame does not bode well for one's future as a Pokemon Trainer." Okay, now she's just (not so) subtly insulting you.

"...Or that the decisions I 'did' come up with were things like 'walk away' or 'read your mind to figure out what your deal was'. Which are very rude, so I didn't do it. So I opted to wait till you did... anything."

"Attempting to read my mind would have ended poorly for you, so I suppose that was a wise decision on your part." The strange girl states, drawing attention to the Espeon that's been in her arms the entire time. Oh...yes...having a bond with a Psychic Pokemon would probably make it much more difficult for someone to read your mind, wouldn't it? "In any case, I am Ceana (keh-na), and I am here to instruct you."

"And its very rude to do, as I said."
She looks shocked when this girl says shes the instructor.
"Oh! Well, why didn't you say that! I guess the Unown reached out. I'm Victoria, it's nice to meet you."

Ceana produces a poke ball of her own and a 'Prime Unown' materializes next to her. "Let us begin..."
~~Time-skip ahead several days to when Victoria has the basics of Rune Master down.~~
"Excellent work. You have finally grasped the basics of working with Unown Runes. The rest will come to you with further practice."

It was a... trying... few days with her, but she knows the core of being a Rune Master. Perfect. She nods to her instructor.
"Yes, thank you for coming out here Ceana. I appreciate the teachings."

When Victoria turns to acknowledge her instructor, she finds her gone. Vanished as suddenly as she came. Clearly, Ceana has this thing about being mysterious or something; though if asked, Kay will tell Vicky that the Espeon just teleported her someplace else. Otherwise, her sudden disappearance will remain a mystery.

"-Alright."
Regardless, she has the teachings now. She goes to find the other two.
"Alright, all done with that, I am now officially a 'Rune Master'."

There are appropriate cheers from her lovely ladies, Kay, and all the Pokemon within earshot. Even if most of the Pokemon don't know what she's talking about, the humans are excited, so they're excited. Everyone's excited! Then May asks the question on everyone's minds. "So...what's that mean? Like, I get that it's doing stuff with Unown, but what, exactly, is it you're doing with them? Aside from...combining them?"

The silly cheering causes her to rub her temple. Then, to answer May.
"I can combine them yes, also use extra ones to do... basically magical stuff with... like being spies and such. And I get to use their abilities like Hidden Power and such."

"Yeah. Now when we go inside dungeons I won't just have my one pokemon out there getting pounded. I can actually help."
...And possibly kill something but let's hope it doesn't come to that.

The girls nod along. Always a nice feeling to be able to back up your Pokemon when needed. Not that May knows much about that, what with not really being suited for combat and all. Still, she gets it.

Alright then. Now that's settled, it's time to pack up and head back to Union Cave. She grabs her Mediallion and Miyako's pokeball the next morning and waits for everyone else to get ready.
