Axel awoke suddenly at the commotion that Era had been making, so fast that he bashed his head on Ethan's bunk above him. With a stifled moan of both tiredness and pain, Axel eventually turned and saw the Snorunt looking up at him. As his eyes met, the pain subsided and he quickly shuffled over to the floor across from Era. He was silent, just looking at the pokemon and smiling, his hair a bed head mess and sleep still in his head along with a nice red bump on his forehead but nothing stopped that smile across his face.

Ethan awoke to sounds of crying Pokemon, and to Era's shout filled with excitement. Which he could tell if not for having just woke up. Sitting up from his bunk with sleepy eyes, Ethan slowly turns his head over to where he had hear Era's called from. Staring blanking at Era, his mind slowly begins to process what is going on. Axel's sudden quick shuffle out of his bunk below caused Ethan to follow in suit.
Still sleepy, Ethan quickly and carefully climbs down the ladder, only to slip on the last step and lands on the floor. With the sudden pain on his rear end, Ethan's mind jolted awake as his becomes fully aware of what just happened. Slowly standing up and rubbing his posterior to sooth the pain, Ethan's mind finally register the sounds of crying Pokemon. Looking towards the source, he finally saw the hatched Pokemon, with Era and Axel sitting in front of their newborn friend.
Ethan swiftly walks over, careful not to knock or bump into anything. Like the others, Ethan sits in front of the egg that he had received from Berlitz. Upon seeing the newborn Poliwag crying, Ethan's felt excited and a smile begin to from across his face.
"Good morning and welcome to the world!" Ethan greets the newborns. Seeing the newborns still in the incubator, he didn't need to look at Era or Axel, as he could feel the same thing his friends are also feeling. "Guys ready to take your first step into the world?" He said warmly, and at the same time to notify his friends that they can open the incubator at any time.

As the trio opens up the incubator holding their pokemon, each one of them reacts differently.
When Ethan opens the top each of their pokemon instinctively move towards their trainers.
The small Eevee rushes forward to her owner, and basically headbutts her way into the Era. Smiling and purring at her trainer, waiting to be picked up.
Axel's pokemon seemes to look at her trainer, and rushes to her owner. Ustilizing his body to hide itself from the other people in the room.
The last small pokemon, the Poliwag looked up at it's trainer Ethan with a curious look on it's face. Waiting for him to do something with him.

Era giggles as the Eevee rub her head against Era. With both hands Era held the Eevee to her chest. "Aw, you are so cute and furry! I have a brush with your name written all over it!" Era to giggle happily there was something magical in having a Pokémon from when it was just an egg. Like a deeper bond than usual. After a while of petting and getting to know the Eevee, Era guide the Pokémon onto her shoulder before rummageing in her duffle bag for her Pokédex.
"I said I have a brush with your name on it but but I don't even have a name for you. I mean I have an idea but I need to look it up." Era spoke conversationally to the Eevee and started looking at names online. After checking a couple of sites Era found what she was looking for close her Pokédex with a satisfying smile. "Alright found your name," Era tickles the Eevee "Since you were born in the morning I'm naming you Zaria it means the the 'morning star'. How's that?" Era inquiry to the little Eevee before getting ready for the busy day ahead.

Ethan smiles once the Pokemon have been released from the incubator they have been in. With outstretched arms, Ethan invites the Poliwag into his arms. "Hi Poliwag! The world welcomes you." He smiles warmly at the newborn Pokemon. "I'm glad you've hatched, I hope we can be friends."
If Poliwag remains fixed at where he stood, then Ethan would carefully scoop up Poliwag and brings the Pokemon closer to his body. "Don't worry, I don't bite. Are you hungry? How about breakfast later?"

As the little Snorunt attempts to hide behind Axel he feels a sense of De Ja Vu. The memory of Amp getting nervous and hiding when they first met flashed in his head and he smiled. Turning to the little one, Axel smiled down at it and petted it a little, "Don't worry, i'm right here, nobody is gonna hurt you Melody, nobody" The name came to him before he even realised, like a spark that was triggered by the sight of this new friend.
Holding her close he turned to the others with a smile, stifling the chills that the little one was giving on on his bare skin. "These three are the best, were so lucky!"

With a smile the little eevee rubbed it's head into Era's chest with a happy yup. Apparently liking the name. She smiled as she rubbed her head into her trainer.
With Ethan and Poliwag it teetered towards him, and let himself get picked up, he smiled and nodded emphatically at Ethan. The small pokemon seemed to be quite hungry.
While the last pokemon behind Axel smiled, it seemed to blow some cold air at Axel happily. She sat there looking up at her trainer waiting for what they would do next.

"Mm-hm, we are gonna have to train even harder now." Era nods in agreement with Axel before hopping up to her feet. "Alright let's change and get some breakfast. We got lost of things to see and do!"
With that Era quickly water her portable Oran plant and harvest the berries and then grabs her clothes for the before heading toward the showers. "I wonder, Zaria, if you'll like water?" Era comment absently to the Eevee as they left the room.

"Agreed." Ethan nods in agreement with Era and Axel. "From now now, we'll be traveling together. You'll get to see our friends later. Lets first clean ourselves up." Ethan says to Poliwag still in his arms. With a free arm, Ethan closes the incubator and sets it aside.
With that, Ethan first settles the Poliwag down and prepares to make his bed. He later brings Poliwag with him into bathroom. Ethan draws a bath for the small tadpole to bath in while he brushes his teeth. He then finally hops into the shower to wash himself.

Axel lifts up the lil one and smiles, "Ok, shower time with daddy" Leaving for the showers axel ran the water and got ready, Melody just hung out in his arms, staring at most things. Once in the shower, the lil one complained a couple of times abotu the water, and each time Axel turned it down colder and colder until she was happy and he was freezeing.
Once all that had happened, Axel spent his usual hour or so getting ready alongside Melody.

With that the trio of young trainers were able to get their pokemon back from Nurse Joy, and left for the day.
Leaving for Jubilife TV they found that there was already a decent sized line waiting to gain entrance into the recording Q and A for Cythia. There seemed to be all kinds of people in the line, some of them looked like trainer hopefuls, some looked like they were older more Experienced trainers, while some looked like just fans of Cynthia.
As they stood in line, the line eventually started moving as they let in trainers. When they arrived at the door, there seemed to be a man who was checking identification as people came in. For the trio, their only identification was their Trainer ID's. Which after showing it to the man, they were ushered into the room, and given front row seats along side 6 other young trainers, who seemed to be around their age.
With that the room lit up and the announcer, a man with gray hair and a suit introduced the room to Cynthia.
Cynthia was wearing the clothing she wore for her championship battles the black dress, and looked over the people in the room. Where a cry of cheers rang out.
The interview part of the event was rather quick. The trainers who listened noticed how carefully Cynthia actually managed to avoid answering any questions with any real answers. It was at the end of the short interview that the man who was giving the interview with the gray hair pointed to the crowd.
"With that, Cynthia will be taking Questions from the new young trainers who currently have licenses!" he said.
As he said that, starting from the end of the row, the member of the trio sitting at the edge of the row was handed a Microphone, and asked to pass it down, after receiving an answer to their question.

First to be given the microphone, Ethan didn't know what kind of question to ask. There were just too many going through his head. Standing up, Ethan looks towards Pokemon Champion Cynthia. "Hi Cynthia, I'm Ethan. I've just started my journey as a trainer a couple days ago." Ethan pauses for a second, finally decided on a question.
"Everyone have different beliefs in regarding to raising Pokemon. Some believe in trust, friendship and love, or even bonds forged through hardships. I know there can be more methods in raising Pokemon, with some being disagreeable." Ethan's mind briefly flashes back towards when Era, Axel and himself met the boy who called himself Apollo. "For myself, all Pokemon trainers and aspiring trainers, what have you discovered and believe is essential to raising Pokemon and building a personal bond that will last for a long time?" Ethan had a slight idea on what is commonly believed in. But he would like to hear someone else view, especially Cynthia's. This is more so since the Champion have been a trainer for a lot longer than he has, have experienced more then he has, and have risen to the top of the Pokemon League in Sinnoh. So whatever Cynthia have done, is something that would be credible towards raising Pokemon.

After a moment Cynthia took hold of the microphone and spoke into it.
Her voice was crisp, it was elegant, it was beautiful, it was charming, it was steely.
Though above all else, it was strong, Ethan could feel it.
"Care. No matter who you are, no matter what you do. You can be a good guy, bad guy, evil, nice, talented, dumb, or a rude person. It doesn't matter, as long as you care about your pokemon so much that they know it. Then it'll bring a personal bond that will last a long time." Cynthia answered.

The answer was so obvious now that Cynthia said it. Deep down Ethan knew about it, he naturally cared for his Pokemon, and others by extension. Many do naturally care for Pokemon, sometimes it's not so obvious or can be seen. Caring was just something that can easily be overlooked as one search for an answer to raising Pokemon, even if it's something one do everyday. Now he can understand why Apollo's Pokemon still fought so far after their trainer left. He cared for them, despite being the bad guy. Still, to willingly hurt unborn Pokemon is something he won't forgive.
"Thank you!" Ethan smiles and nods his head. Satisfied with Cynthia's answer, he sits back down. He continues to watch Cynthia and listens to the interview.

As the Microphone is passed to him, Axel feels his nerves begin to trickle away. He was a performer, he had played his music outside the Goldenrod radio tower before and knew how it felt to be the centre of attention, the mic in his hands felt comfortable. " Hiya, Axel Stream here, really glad for this opportunity. Im from all the way in Goldenrod City in Jhoto so its a real honour to be here." He spoke clearly and with charm. He may be confident when it came to talking in front of the crowd and Cynthia but he did however have one large problem... he hadn't thought of a question. As he spoke he began searching his head for anything that might be a good question, his mind flooded with trash questions. That was until he found something. "So, my question today is a good one, When you were journeying, did you ever question what your goal was?" Axels mind rushed through the various pokemon battles they had had so far and with them he looked at how much fun they were, but then he thought about what he had originally wanted to do and that was become a contest pro... His mind was conflicted about which path to truly follow, was he only thinking this way because he hadn't had the chance to perform yet or was he truly conflicted.

With a thought Cynthia said, "When I was Journeying I didn't really ever question what I thought my goal was. I knew I wanted to be a strong trainer. I never questioned that was my goal. Though I questioned while I was traveling if all the battling, the pain, the loss, the trouble, and the other hardships were worth it."
"Standing here before you all, I can say it was. I think it's fine to have second thoughts, maybe even consider changing what your dream is. The only thing that matters is that you never give up on trying your hardest to achieve it." she said.

The answer put a smile on his face, a sweet smile, he felt reassured and knew now that it was ok to question things occasionally. "Thank you, i shall bare that in mind" He spoke calmly and then passed the microphone down the line.

With that the next trainer to get the microphone was there, and it was Era.
She spoke into her the microphone and asked, "Hi, I'm Era Voyager. How do you say goodbye to friends when you have to leave?"
Cynthia blinked a bit at this question. Clearly being taken by surprise by it.
She said aloud, "I tell them that it's only going to be time apart and to keep in touch. Then I make sure to. So my friendships don't die."
With that Era looked at the other two with a bit of a pained look, with the sort of look that made them know they needed to talk to her after they left the auditorium.
The Microphone was handed off quickly to the next trainer. The girl was a smiley faced girl in a pretty bright pink sundress. She had on a big smile, and a pretty face. She asked to Cynthia clearly ignoring the situation, "Hi, Lizzy Akselsen, Who is it that does your hair? It's just great!"
Cynthia was taken a back once more, not expecting the mood whiplash that had just got. She said, "I have a hairdresser who does my hair in Hearthrome. A girl by the name of Diane Cyth."
With that the microphone was handed next to a boy. This boy looked a lot more rough than his assumed travel mate. He had a dark serious look on her face, black clothing, and fingerless black gloves.
"Yo, Sancho's the name. I wanted to know if you've got any opinions on Contesting? It isn't something someone looking to be a trainer should dabble in right?" He asked.
Cynthia shook her head finally regaining a bit of her composure, "Far from it. While you certainly shouldn't practice only in contests. Learning how they thing provides a certain level of understanding on how to use your image in battle. A scary opponent, and a calm cool collected opponent can throw off people."
He handed off his microphone to the next person, a girl with dark green hair, glasses, and wearing brown sweater, with a lighter brown slacks, and brown shoes.
"Hi.... I'm umm..... Chloe Atchitson. I wanted to ask who takes your photographs for your promotional merchandise? and ow one would get involved in that?" Chloe asked.
Cynthia said, "That kind of stuff is handled by my agent, though I know she aims to get someone who won't be a detriment to following me around. Able to do other things than just take pictures. Though that's real important to be talented at."
With that the Microphone was handed off to the next person was a person in nice colorful clothing, but with a somber expression on her face.
"Katlin, I want to ask if you've ever accidentally killed a pokemon." She asked.
Cynthia's face grew dark at this one, "Yeah..... Yeah I have...... Keep in mind guys, it's a dangerous would out there. There's a group called Team Galactic..... I ended up..... killing one of the criminals pokemon when I was working with the officer Jenny of the area."
The crowd murmured for a moment before the microphone was passed to the next boy. A boy with dark red hair, and a T-shirt with fire on it, and blue jeans over some combat boots.
He took the microphone and asked, "Danilo Mcadam. Do you like seeing thing bur-."
The boy was quickly slapped, and the microphone was taken by his friend, a girl with with a scary face. She looked like she was seriously going to beat him up.
She asked in a soft voice, "Sorry about him..... I'm Melva.... Umm.... I guess I'll ask. If you ever scare pokemon? and do you do anything about that?"
Cynthia took the chance to answer ignoring the skipped question, "I do, and I just leave it be. There's something about me some Pokemon just don't like."
She shrugged before the next voice came out, and it was a familiar one, "JUN TAIKO AND CYNTHIA I CHALLENGE YOU TO A"
As he yelled that a rock flew through the air, and smashed Jun in the side of his head. As another hand came and took the microphone like before.
"Cynthia, let me applogize for that excitable barbarian. He's not thinking straight. My name is Evangaline Springfield the 17th. I wanted to ask how it is you're so graceful even in high stress situations?"
With a smile at the scene Cynthia answered, "Don't worry about it. It's rather interesting to see someone like that. I won't actually accept his challenge, but I will answer your question. I count to 5. I know it might seem silly, but counting to 5 calms me down. Makes me ready to take on whatever challenge is ahead."
With that the microphone was handed to the last person in the group, "Hi.... I'm Claudia..... I wanted to know if you have any training pointers you want to give out. Anything is fine."
With a tap of her chin Cynthia answered, "One piece of advice, I think is super important. When training your pokemon, don't be something your not. Treat your pokemon how you want, and play into your natural strengths. Trying to emulate someone elses style isn't the right choice."
It was with that the Microphones were taken, and the room was released. Allowing for all the trainers to leave outside.

Surprised by Era's sudden question, Ethan turns his head towards Era. Seeing the expression Era has on her face, Ethan's smile slowly diminish to a worried look. Thinking back on Era's words, Ethan could only guess what is going to happen. Ethan waited and listen to the rest of the interview with Cynthia. He tries not to worry too much about what Era had just said, thinking he could be reading too much into it. Whatever the details are, he and Axel is going need to talk with Era after the interview is over.

Once the Interveiw was over, Axel approached Era. He honestly wanted to ignore the problem and go and laugh with Jun and the gang but this had to happen. "Era? Please don't tell me what i thinks happening..." Axel slowly took his shades off, eyes full of hope but stained with worry.
