I'm too lazy to copy+paste and re-edit the entire wall of text, so you can go to one of the other two Johto threads to read the intro.

Cleo wishes she didn't blend into the crowd of ten-year-olds quite so easily. She still has a few inches on them but some of them are rapidly gaining on her. She really wishes she wasn't quite so short.
Luckily she doesn't have to stand in the crowd for too long. She likes to think of it as the benefits of a famous name, but honestly it's mostly the benefits of a name early in the alphabet. When she's called on, she swans up to the professor with her coat billowing behind her.
Of course, she'd brought Roi with her from Kalos. She was hardly just going to leave him behind! People had accused her of being cold at the Academy, but that really would have been brutal, especially for no purpose other than to play into tradition a little more heavily. So she just holds his ball up when she gets to Kristal. "I brought my Pokémon with me, but I'm ready to register."

Kristal smiles down at her and pats her head. "Sure thing, sweetie." She says as Cleo is quickly registered and given her Pokedex with yet another pat on the head. Kristal winks at her, indicating she knows Cleo's real age (via her registration file) and is just teasing.

"Hey, don't -!" Cleo waves a hand in the general direction of Kristal's, miming swatting at her without actually hitting her, since that wouldn't be classy. Even if Kristal knows how old she is, being patted on the head is still embarrassing. She huffs angrily when Kristal pats her again while handing her her Pokédex.
At least she has everything in order now and can get down to business instead of having to wait around. She flounces out of the lab before Kristal can patronize her anymore, and sends out Roi. Time for a strategy consultation... which is basically just Cleo lecturing her Piplup.
"All right, Roi. We have a long journey ahead of us - there's a whole region to get through here. We're going to have to build up a good side to prove we're a real threat here. There's only two ways out of town, and I don't plan on swimming, so let's head west. We'll make for Cherrygrove, then see if we can beat the sun to Violet City." Since Cleo plans on hunting for Pokémon for at least a little on the way, making it to Violet City before dark is pretty unlikely, but she wants to push as far as she can.
Time to find an encounter on Route 29! (1/2) buO5qi321d1001d100
