She was surprise to find all sorts of LEGENDARY TRAINERS in the tournament, but none of that can compare to the shock she felt as she saw the girl she both admired and resented; the original heroine, the one people went ON about, the one people would constantly mistake her for. It was Touko, the original heroine of truth.

        Not only did she show up, but she was really ATTRACTIVE too.                                           Ah fuck …

The stories were sort of true; she was an amazing trainer. If it weren’t for the power of Consuela’s SHEER determination, she probably would’ve lost the tournament. Nonetheless, she played it cool. She gave the other a cocky smirk and swept a pigtail behind her shoulder,  “ That I am. I can’t say I’m surprised; you gave me one hell of a FIGHT back there. ”

              Often did Touko ever go easy on people she was always a fan of making things challenging for the other opponent. So having to hear that she did a good job making things not easy put a smile on the brunette’s face.

    ❝ Well, I never go easy on my opponents. I’d prefer making things challenging, It’s never fun when having a battle with somebody and deciding to go easy on them. ❞

              Sapphire eyes looked away from the woman, her smile still remaining on her face as she quickly tucked the Pokeball she had into hand back into her bag. ( She owe her Pokémon a treat after all their hard work today but that’ll be done in a later time. ) Once the ball was inside the ball she soon looked up towards the woman.

              After all this time; after all the searching, had she really found the man she was seeking for all these years? It couldn’t be. Was this life’s way of trying to tell her that he had been in Unova all along? She’s looked for him everywhere and he was in Unova all along? Oh, dear, Arceus do not tell her this is where he’s actually been the whole time.

              Peeling her attention from the pokeball she had in hand, the young woman took a single glance towards the girl. ‘ She was good ‘ Touko thought to herself gaving a brief smile before speaking up.

      ❝ Worse, huh? Surprised you haven’t been found dead yet. ❞

              She meant that as a harmless joke of course, but knowing that he’s done most dump stuff like that before in the past ? Either Arceus didn’t want this kid dead yet or he just had good luck of still making this far in life.

      ❝ It’s not often to see people coming to see Nuvema. ❞

              And she wasn’t lying about that, rarely did people from other regions would bother to come to Nuvema. It was a quiet town with little Pokémon to begin with, so It only made sense for her to be curious about the man’s reasons for being here. Head tilted and lips part ways as she begin to speak once more.

      ❝ Correct me If I’m wrong, but you’re name was Red, right? ❞

               Sapphire eyes looked up at the young man that was standing before her. She recall seeing one a few months ago, injury due to.. Well to put it nicely his stupidity into thinking that doing some type of trick would get him somewhere when in the end only got him a few cuts and bruises.
