Nori-Tani

A lone pikachu sniffed it’s way down the sidewalk of the shopping district in Hau’oli City. It was an oddly furry little thing, less groomed than the normal Pikachu’s that explored the city but it was cute none the less. It glanced up, sniffing the air. All the new smells was so exciting.. But also dangerous. It turned to head back to the Tourist Bureau, where it’s loyal trainer was struggling with some human deeds, but then it’s ears perked up.

Nearby was a white and pink pokemon the electric fur ball had never seen before. It was bigger than it by a bit. The new pokemon had ribbon like decorations all over it’s body… After a moment of hesitation the Pikachu bounded over, it’s curiosity overpowering it’s unease and distrust.

“There you are..!” Nori huffed as she finally found her little fur ball. She was dressed in a pink tacky t-shirt with palm trees decorated on it and shorts. The shirt looked as if it was a size too big for her. She blinked and then looked up at Atticus, remaining silent for a moment…

Nori panted as she pushed her way up the trail of this; ‘Wela Volcano’ she had stumbled upon. A yellow fur ball just ahead of her stopped to make sure that Nori was sitll following, before running off as soon as she got close.

“Y.. You little..” Nori stopped to catch her breath. She hadn’t quite gotten accustomed to this Alolan heat, not to mention it was 10 times hotter near the volcano than normal.. She finally willed herself forward and eventually emerged out of the long cave like path to an open area, miles above the ground. She spotted her partner pokemon, a pikachu she had named Lylo, run off past an odd looking entrance way. They looked important and were guarded by two employees. She recognized their uniforms since she had to argue with a lot who were guarding gates that blocked off other parts of Alola. It had something to do with a ‘Trial’ of some sorts… Nori had only been in the Alola region for less than two hours, and she had spent most of it running after her curious pokemon rather than learning anything about the region.

She knew these two would stop her and ramble on about how ‘You haven’t completed the other trials, you can’t enter!’ She could see it on their faces as they waited for Nori to make a move. She met their gazes straight on before then taking off up the hill that her beloved pikachu had went up. She could hear htem yell behind her.

“Sorry!” She called over her shoulder, even though she really wasn’t. “I gotta get my pokemon!” The temperature had risen as she reached the top, and hse stopped completely when noticing the stage like platform sitting right dead in the center of the peak. 

Kiawe watches silently as the scene plays out before him, interrupting the training session he was having with his Marowak. Things escalate quickly as the gate guards chase after her, causing even more of a ruckus than the girl had on her own. 

It’s interesting to say the least, nothing too crazy usually happened up there, the guards made sure of that. When the girl stops before the platform Kiawe takes a moment to look her over before finally addressing her..

“He’s just curious!” Nori spat at him, meeting his eyes with a glare as she evaluated him herself. He didn’t seem like a bad person.. But that didn’t mean she could let her guard down.

Her pikachu on the other hand seemed to be completely distracted, staring up at Kiawe’s Marowak in curiosity.

“Gotcha!” Nori gasped suddenly as the man that was guarding the Trial Gate suddenly grabbed her from behind, keeping her from running. The man smiled sheepishly at Kiawe. “I’m sorry, we didn’t expect her to run past us so we weren't prepared to stop her..” His hold tightened as Nori tried to struggle away. For a teddy bear looking man, he was pretty strong...

“Anyway, I’ll take her out--” Before the man could finish his statement there was a loud crack as Nori threw her head back, headbutting him as hard as she possibly could. As soon as the man’s arms were released Nori stumbled forward into a crouch, head hands over the back of her head.
