Twinleaf town, in the region of Sinnoh. A short hop and skip away from lake verity. A small quaint town, the kind of place with a such a small amount of people where even if everyone didn't know each other, they'd would at least heard of them. The scent of pine leaves, always in the air here.
It was the day, definitely it was the day. They had received a two days ago, a letter telling them of the acceptance to the league and being granted provisional trainer ship. It informed them to be ready, as their journey was authorized to begin in two days when their pokemon would be delivered. Today was the day where it was time for them to meet.
When each of the young trainers woke up, in their mailboxes was a package. A small box, with only three things inside. A single pokeball with their pokemon inside of it, a pokedex, and a two pictures with the names of their to be traveling group.

Today's the day, today is the day for Era to go out into the world and take that first little step toward her dream. After literally tumbling out of her bed, Era hurried over to the small mirror hanging on her side of room and worked to make herself presentable for the day. As she her long black hair with blue dyed tips she realized the great adventure to be had and smiled. "Today's the day!" She cried happily with little concern for her brother who was still sleeping in the room. Or at least he was, no sooner did Era shout for joy did a pillow went smack right into her face.
"Era, hurry up or your'll be late!" The voice of Era's stern mother breached the floor from below and Era quickly fixed the stray hair's from her brother's attack. "Ok! I'm coming!" Before Era turned to leave, she picked up the pillow from before and smack it over her brother's head in revenge. "See you later little brother you be good now!" Era then quickly peck her brother's forehead and left her room. Little brother, Claud,simply only mumbled incoherently still half asleep regardless of the pillow that descended upon him earlier.
"There you are." Said Era's mother, Miriam, her voice betraying a bit of annoyance at how slow her daughter was this morning. "Here, the package from the League have arrived you better open it now." Era attacked the package barely saying good morning to her grandparent sitting at the table. One by one Era found the items inside and, while Era was impatient to unleash her Pokémon from it's spear, Miriam had other ideas. After reading the ignored letter that came with the package, Miriam moved her daughter brusquely to the door. "It looks like you are already a little late to your meeting with the others kids. So you better get going now just to be on the safe side. Here something for breakfast and your lunch box. Oh, and wear your sun hat it's going to be warm with the sun out today. And here's an umbrella for down the road."
Era couldn't get a word in edge wise until at the end when Miriam dump the sun hat over her head. "Ok, I guess you would know. I promise I'll write everyone when I can."
"Just one second Era,dear." Grandma called softly as she stood from the table and handed Era a small gift wrapped box. "Grandpa and I got you a little something for the journey. Your father used one just like it on his trips to sea. Use it whenever you feel like and maybe send us something of what you see while on your journey." Era smiles opens the present and smiled it was a camera, a pretty nice one too, and then hugged her grandma. "Thanks grandma. I'll be sure to take lots of picture." Hugs were exchanged all around until finally Era left her home after practically being kicked out by her mom. Little did Era know that Miriam wasn't very good with long goodbyes, especially since losing her husband, but, luckily, Miriam's own mother was there comfort her as withheld tears started to fall. So focus on the journey ahead Era thought little of her mother's strange mood. Upon arriving at the meeting place, Era looked around absently for the others before deducing that she was the first to arrive. Taking out the letter from this morning, Era recheck the time and then look at the names with the pictures of her companions for the first time. 'Hmm, Ethan Stark and Axel Stream...' Era had absolutely no idea who they were which meant they were from outside Twinleaf Town. 'They look ok enough.' The Axel guy immediately reminded Era of a the young model's in her mom's magazine. His appearance overall in the picture looked really professional and Era wondered if this is what city boys look like. Looking at Ethan's picture Era could only tell that he seemed kind of bookish and that she liked his azure blue hair. In the end Era pick a spot on the ground to wait for her companions and laid down to gaze at the blue sky using her duffle bag as a pillow. Her sun hat just shielding her eyes from the light as she watched the clouds. After a moment Era brought out the Pokéball she just received and gaze at it with the sky in the background before giving it a light kiss. 'No matter who or what you are we'll be best friends and we'll always stay together.'[/spoiler]

Axel awakened to the odd sound of nature, so accustomed to the busy noises of Goldenrod city that the peaceful and quiet countryside was actually more irritating during the nights. He sluggishly made his way to the bathroom to begin his daily routine, if this was going to be the last day with access to a shower he was damn well going to use it. Last day? The thought finally penetrated the tiredness as he came to realise today was THE day, the day for the journey and the day he met his Pokemon. Rushing through his routine he ran downstairs in what he believed was a practical outfit. In reality it was more fashionable than practical but at least his heavy boots were both. Arriving downstairs he was greeted by his Aunt Grace, a nice simple lady, washing dishes in the kitchen. Axel had been staying with his aunt for a week now and he was really happy he decided to come out to Sinnoh for this journey because of her. Aunt grace was a writer, Axel never got around to asking what she wrote. She came out to Twinleaf town a few years ago for what she called 'inspiration and some peace and quiet' which Axel really didn't understand. "Your awake, oh good, I've made a little breakfast for you on your big day" she's said as she turned and dried her hands on a towel "gotta keep up your strength for today", the Jhoto accent was still there hidden beneath the local accent, it was kind of reassuring. "Oh thanks Aunt Grace" he said as he rushed for the table and began to chow down occasionally stopping for a second to beat his chest. Eating too fast, silly Axel.
Half way through his meal, Grace came over and placed on the table of the package that had arrived for Axel. A note and an empty parcel, Axel paid it no mind as he tucked into the breakfast. Grace began to read off some of the contents letter as Axel ate. The information went in one ear and out of the other until his meal was stopped. Placed on the table was a pokèball, his pokèball. Axel just stared at it for a moment before looking up at Grace. "The address is on top of the letter, you go have fun" she said calmly as she folded up the letter and tucked it into Axels shirt pocket. As his excitement peaks he finishes the last scraps of food, grabs the pokèball and races out of the door. Grace just sighs and begins counting to 3 and as she reaches it Axel comes running back into the house grabbing his backpack and guitar and heading for the door. A simple "ahem" is heard halting Axel in the doorway. Looking back he moves over to Grace, gives her a peck on the cheek before heading for the door, calling out "Thanks Aunt Grace, see ya soon" "That boy..." Grace says followed by a sigh.
After taking a brief look at the letter, Axel heads for the meeting point, gripping his pokèball with one hand and his guitar strap with the other. Axel had applied for the Sinnoh trainer program because it was so different to his region. He had thought about applying for the Jhoto or Kanto programmes but he wanted to go even further, let his journey be completely new, so , much to his parents avail, Axel applied to go to Sinnoh, and now here he was.
Eventually he came upon the destination. Just in the distance Axel could see a girl laying down holding a pokèball too. It had to be one of the two he was traveling with. Heading over he called out "heeeeey!" He cried as he waved his pokèball in the air. Once he got to the girl he panted for a while before brushing himself down and attempting to look cool. "Hi, I'm Axel."

Excited for the journey ahead and to realize his dreams, Ethan had spent the previous two days preparing for today. Having double check everything himself, Ethan went to bed early the previous night, not before setting his alarm clock. He couldn't afford to wake up late, even if his parents or grandparents would come to wake him up if he had overslept. Waking up early with a smile, Ethan rushed to the bathroom and began grooming himself. After all, today is the big day, and he wanted to make himself presentable to others. Though he still didn't know who they were, Ethan hopped the other two are nice people.
When he was ready, Ethan came down for breakfast "Morning mum! Morning pops! Morning Grandma! Morning Grandpa!" Ethan greeted his parents and grandparents. His family has been staying over at his grandparent's place for the weekend, well it's the house and town where his mother grew up in. It's been a while since Ethan last saw his grandparents, and his parents thought it'll be a good time to visit them.
Dressed in a form fitting but comfortable blue and white stripped long sleeved polo shirt, with tapered navy jeans, and covered by a simple cerulean colored vest, Ethan is greeted by a rich invigorating aroma. "Breakfast smells great! I wonder what we're having." Ethan sat opposite to his father and grandfather, as both lovely ladies sets the last plates of breakfast on the table. Until the day he returns home, this is his last breakfast shared with his family. Ethan savored each bite and complemented the chiefs, knowing he'll miss home made meals.
Finishing his breakfast, a small package was presented to Ethan. He eagerly opens it to find a single Pokeball, containing his starter Pokemon inside of it, a Pokedex, and a two pictures of the other trainers, along with their names. These two were to be his traveling partners. "Now, now if you don't hurry, you'll be late," his grandmother says warmly. Giving a firm nod, Ethan embraces each family member in a hug before he rushes back to his room with the items and stashed them in his backpack.
With his backpack slung over his shoulder, Ethan bids goodbye to his family, before rushing out of the house. Reading over the letter, Ethan confirms the location of the meeting place and heads over with bounce in each step. Arriving at the designated place, Ethan checks the photos before looking around "Axel Stream and Era... They look nice enough." Walking around, he spots a boy similar to the one in the photo. Upon taking a closer look, Ethan sees Axel move closer to a girl laying down. Taking another look at the photos, Ethan confirms the other two trainers. "Yeap, it should be those two."
Ethan strides across the field, each step bring him closer to the starting line. His hand clutching the Pokeball in hand, Ethan cries out once he was closer to the two, waving a single hand. "Heeeyyy!" Once he got close enough, Ethan was surprise by Axel's height, especially when compared to himself and to Era's. "Hi, I'm Ethan. You two must be Axel and Era."

At the sound of someone yelling, Era quickly sat up, unconsciously keeping her hat from flying off with her free hand, and saw Axel approaching. "Oh, hello, eh, Axel?" Era greet in return as she got up from the ground and swipe away any of the grass on her behind in one motion. "Nice to meet you! I'm Era!" Era smiled as she looks up at Axel, however, she did a visible double take at how tall Axel was.
Then someone else called out and Era turn to see what was surely Ethan running toward them. "Heeyy! You made it! And yep, that's us! I am sooo excited I can't wait to see the whole region." As she spoke, Era place her Pokéball in between her hands in front of her chest.
"Anyway since we'll be traveling together for while lets introduce ourselves. I'll go first!" Era charged ahead. "So my name is Era Voyager. I live here in Twinleaf Town but I was born in Sunnyshore City. Um, I guest you can say my hobbies are to collect hobbies. I'm pretty observant but even I've notice I am also pretty forgetful. But I'll do my best to be of use to this team." At this Era gave a salute and then proceeded to wait for the others to introduce themselves further.
Between Ethan and Alex, Era was the shortest of the group. Regardless of her short statue, though, Era looks as if she was all skin and bones with slim arms and legs. Her hair is long and black with pale blue ends and her eyes were a stormy grey. She wears what looks like a lacy blue and white dress-shirt that just fall below her hips. The dress expose most of her arms and shoulders but has swag sleeve that looks like white wings. Underneath Era wears a pair of blue caprice jeans and a pair blue slip on shoes on her feet. A plain white sun hat rest on her head and by her feat is a dark blue duffle.

Axel smiled as Era began to introduce herself. For once he was actually listening about another person, this stuff was important after all. Once she had finished Axel slung his bag to the floor, pocketed his pokèball and swung his guitar round to his front.
A simple melodic chord was strummed as he began, "My name is Axel Stream, from the lovely Goldenrod city in far off Jhoto," the way he went on he made the introduction sound melodic and grandiose for what was essentially just an introduction, "I have traveled far across the waves in search of adventure with the dream of becoming a great performer and a great trainer!" He ends his introduction with another chord but one finger out of place causes the last note to fall flat. Axel simply attempts to keep his cool before smiling a little embarrassed.
Axel l, was always a little taller than most, just another way for him to stand out from the crowd. A rather skinny boy whom looked rather week in comparison to most but he made up for this with style. His hair was a picture of shaggy chic, almost white grey hair, messy but I'm a way that was almost designed that way. His glasses were thick framed but designer with a sleek black frame and the eyes behind them were a warming hazel. He wore a basic black t-shirt with a neck line close to the throat but his jacket was a thin loose fit shirt featuring a grey check design with a grey hood. Bottoms were rather tight fitting jeans that were tucked into his boots that came to his just below his knees. A lot of kids used to not understand his fashion but from what he'd read in magazines he looked cool. His bag was just a simple dark red rucksack, it was the one thing on Axel that seemed out of place. His guitar was an acoustic with a dark wood rear and a lighter wood face, a little 'A.S' was carved into the base.

Placing his Turtle Ridge Backpack by his feet, Ethan listens to the other's introduction and waits for his turn. When his turn came, Ethan coughs to clear his throat. With one hand over his left chest, Ethan bows slightly "I am Ethan Stark, and I'm from Hearthome City. I love Pokemon, and wish to open a Pokemon daycare someday. That is why I aspire to become a trainer of great renown." The youth beams a bright smile at the others. "I'm good with Pokemon, and can be helpful when it comes to battles, or training them."
Ethan isn't bothered by the other two's height or choice of attire. Though he ins't dressed fashionably like Axel, or earthly like Era, Ethan is dressed in what one would called the smart casual look, to a certain degree. He wears a blue and white stripped long sleeved polo shirt, with navy blue jeans finished with a tapered design, converse shoes, and finishing his attire with a simple cerulean colored vest. A lone Pokeball is clipped to the belt around his waist.

Era giggled lightly at Axel when his guitar went flat but nods politely in acknowledgment to his performance. Then when Ethan bowed Era gave a small curtsy doing her best to keep a composed face. "It's nice to meet you all! You guys sure came a long way I hope one day we'll be able to travel far and wide together farther than even Jhoto!"
Era smiles, she was glad that both her teammates seemed very nice. "So... I don't know about you guys but I haven't got to meet my Pokemon yet. I thought it would make a good memory if we met them together. But if you guys met yours already that's alright! I just like to meet mine before we set out and possibly run into some Pokémons."

Axel smiled at Era as she giggled, mission accomplished, if he can make people smile he's happy.
As Ethan bowed Axel didn't really know how to respond to it, just looking from one person to another.
Once the formalities had passed alAxel slung his guitar round onto his back and turned to the group, about to open his mouth before his thoughts were vocalised by another voice. "I was thinking the same Era, we all meet our new faithful friends at once making it a closer group!" He announced to the group holding up his ball with gusto.

"That is a good idea, I was going to suggest the same thing." Ethan smiles, glad the others had similar ideas. "How about we release our new friends at the same time?" He suggested, a hand moving over to clasp the Pokeball clipped to his belt and bringing it over towards his chest. Ethan originally wanted his family to meet his new friend, but was rushed out of the house in order to meet his teammates on time. Well, he can always do so at another time.

Era swifts from foot to foot happily as everyone had the same idea juggling her Pokémon in the air. "Alright! Then let's do it on a count of 3! One, two, three!" Another breeze blew by, so as Era held on to her hat with here free hand, she toss her Pokéballs in the air.

As the three trainers tossed their pokeballs into the air, releasing their pokemon, and letting their pokemon out.
They all popped out, their pokemon facing their trainers first.
The first pokemon to make any sort of move was Amp, Axel's Magnamite. As soon as it saw the three trainers looking at it. It seemlly started to sweat a bit or rather the electrical pokemon's equivalent of sweating small amounts of electricity seeping from it's body. The magnamite's pupil shrank, and It hid moved behind the closest pokemon, which happened to be Glacie's prinplup. The prinplup looked behind himself, and looked back at the trainer in front of her, at Era. As if waiting for her to say something first.
The ralts, xerox, though on the last hand, looked at the other two and then at his trainer.His horn glowed slightly, and Ethan got the feeling in the back of his head that he could distinctly tell was from his ralts. It seemed to be transferring the feeling of nervousness from the magnamite to him. Not to the point of overpowering his own emotions, just enough that ethan could feel a small fraction of what the Magnamite was feeling.

Axel Crouched down to be on the pokemons level "Hey lil guy, we didn't mean to scare ya, i'm your friend, Im Axel" he said slowly to the Magnamite peering from behind the Piplup. Axel stopped for a moment thinking before an idea sparked in his mind. Slinging his guitar around to his front he parked himself on the floor cross legged and began to play. A melody of chords played slowly, it sounded relaxing and Axel began to hum along to the tune. Charm on Amp: 18

Ethan crouch down and smiles at Ralts. "Hey buddy, I'm Ethan. Looks like we'll be partners starting today. I hope we can be bestest of pals in the future." Feeling something at the back of his mind, Ethan quickly understood Ralts that is trying to communicate with him. Nodding at the information, Ethan pats Xero on the head. "Thanks, buddy. I'll convey the message"
"Axel, seems your friend is quite nervous- oh." Ethan pauses when he sees the other boy slings his guitar around and begins to play.

"Ah, a Piplup!?" Era exclaimed as she knelt down onto the ball of her feet. Era stretch out her arms toward the little Piplup with her hands spread wide. "Hello, my name's Era." Era tried to lower her voice enough so it doesn't mess with Axel guitar playing. "I'll be your Pokemon trainer from now on. You seem very cool and collected do you mind if I call you Glacie?" It was the best Era could think of to say to the Piplup, she wasn't sure how to deal with a prideful Pokemon other than by being respectful. At the end Era motioned for Piplup to come toward her not necessarily into her arms although Era would like that very much. PokéPsycologist = 9

The small prinplup looked at his trainer with open arms, and the small pokemon hiding behind him. With a push, he pushed amp out from behind himself, towards Axel.
Then moved towards her trainer, as if to grow closer to it's trainer. It made about 12 teeters towards his trainer before tripping. The piplup looked fine though, not crying or reacting to the fall.
He got up, and dusted himself off, before making it the rest of the way up to Era. It seemingly sniffed the air around her, before nodding at her trainer. As if giving her permission.
Amp on the other hand being pushed out from behind his pokemon shield, quickly moved behind a rock, looking over his rock at the trainer. He seemed to be sweating more electricity than before at his trainer. He wasn't moving out from behind the rock despite the serinade from the trainer. He couldn't take his eye off of his trainer though from behind the rock.
Xero responded inside of his head, As do I.
He continued to transmit the increasing nervousness of the pokemon to Ethan, his horn glowling slightly.
He looked at the pokemon, and nodded.
He sent a thought into the young mans head, I do think I'm bound to inform you the song is making the poor thing more nervous. He likes the song, but he's not feeling confident that he can be the partner of someone as he's thinking in his head 'cool' as Axel.

Ethan held back a laughter, nearly snorting in doing so. "Aww, that's cute," he thought. "Hey Axel, it seems your song is making your new found friend even more nervous. Ralts here have been telling me how your friend feels. " Ethan states, pausing for a moment to get Axel's attention. "Your Magnamite likes the song, however he don't feel confident enough that he can be the partner of someone as cool as you are."
Once again Ethan gently pats his new found friend on the head, believing it's best to avoid touching the horn. "Thanks buddy. You're a great help already." He pauses and thinks for a moment, "Hmm, I should give you a proper name. Though I wonder, is there any name you prefer to call yourself?"

Era chuckled softly as the Piplup push the Magnamite but when he teeter toward her and fell a small "Eck!?" escaped from Era followed by a relived sigh.
Once she got permission from the little Piplup, Era lift up Glace and spun around in a circle with Glace in the air. "I'm so happy to have you as my partner Glace." Era hugged Glace to her chest and then held him loosely in her arms.
"I'll make sure to be a good trainer to you, Glace. I know we'll go far in the League so long as we work together." Era then started to pet's Glace on his round head with a free hand. Era was usually so... Exuberant,Nashe usually more easygoing but it isn't everyday that one gets their first Pokémon and was about to set off for an adventure.
After listening to Ethan explain the Magamite hesitance, Era softly giggled, 'That is SO cute!'

The small Ralts nodded, "Personally I'm fond of Xero"
The piplup nodded, and was looking at her as she rubbed his head. It was seemingly fine with this state of affairs.

"As you wish, I shall call you Xero," Ethan nods respectfully. With open arms Ethan invites Xero to come join him.
"I know right?" With a smile, Ethan agrees with Era. Seeing the Piplup embraced by Era, Ethan smiles warmly. "Looks like your friend likes you as well."
