Skyler stepped off the pier, staring at the bustling city. Her jaw dropped and her mouth formed a little 'o'. "Liam! This place is so alive! It's nothing like the last one~!" She threw her arms out to the sides like a aeroplane, taking bouncy steps for the nearest Pokecenter. Her gloved hands and tight-fitting sweater made her look odd from the more lightly dressed crowd but she kept on going, shoving the door open. "Liam," she told the Shiny Shiftry, "Stay here. Don't take food from strangers and don't let kids climb on you." She disappeared into the Lady's room, humming a soft song. The ship ride was rocky and she was sore, but she nimbly jumped up onto the counter to sit between the sinks. She double checked the stalls were empty before peeling her sweater off and over her head, pulling out her pony tail the slightest. Her hand immediately went to her right shoulder, making a loud clicking sound as she undid the buckles. Her arm fell away and she instantly began to massage the red skin, examining it in the strong light. She was more absorbed on the tender skin than on watching for incoming people, setting her prosthetic arm down next to her on the skin. It teetered though and fell off the counter, but she didn't make a move to grab it.

Sasha had just entered the city, and went straight to the docks. "Crap," she muttered as she watched a ferry leave. "Come on, Nidoran, we need to get a ticket." She walked a little ways to her right until she reached a ticket salesman, and said, "How much for a ticket?"
"Well, young lady," the man started, turning to face her, "it's your lucky day. We're having a a give-away. Everyone that asks for a price getstwo tickets. Free!"
"Sweet," Sasha replied, holding out her hand as the man handed her the two tickets. Then, she went to the PKMN Center. Walking in and walking to the counter, she and the Nurse Joy conversed with their eyes as she healed her Pokemons. "Stay safe," were the nurse's parting words.
"Go hang out with that Shiftry," Sasha told NidoranM as she walked towards the restroom door.
"Nido, nid ran," he grumbled, and walked towards the towering tree Pokemon.
Sasha entered the restroom to see a girl on the counter with one arm, an obviously prostetic one on the floor. She waved like she would to anyone else, and headed past the sinks to a large mirror mounted to the wall and adjusted her flowing sun-bleached locks into an elongated braid, then up in a twist that she held in place with chopsticks that she pulled out of the pouch that hung over her naturaly-large bustand rested on her right hip. Then, she adjusted her arm-socks, today netting, and adjusted her top.
She gave one last look at the girl on the counter, a truthful and frienddlybsmile without a hint of sympathy, and started for the restroom door, knowing that the two purple-mocha spikes that jutted out of her back would be revealed, along with her normally-exposed needle on her forehead, betweenthe two rectangular-oval ears, causing the normal person's ear locations bare.With You - Chris Brown

Skyler kept her eyes lowered, muttering under her breath about her own stupidity. Half-way through the other girl's beauty routine the teenager gave up on re-leaving her own pain, jumping off the counter and picking up her discarded arm. As the other girl turned to march across the room, Skyler caught a a glance of her, and shot her head up slightly causing her sun glasses to slip off her head and catch on the bridge of her nose. "Wow, my parents would love to take pictures of you." Her comment was absent mindlessly, but not harsh and rather airy as she buckled the final clasp on her arm, back turned to the pokemorph. She shot a glance at Sasha over her shoulder, wondering to herself as she dug through her bag, pulling out a zip-up and stashing the sweater away.
Liam stared at the small Pokemon. "Shiftry."

"Whatever for?" Sasha asked with mock innocence. She knew Skyler was either pointing out her remarkable beauty, or her startling NidoranF features. "You know, if you're trying to compliment me, you don't have to be discreet." But I wish you would, she thought silently. As much as she loved her stunning beauty, and the way it drew attention to herself, she hated the way people treated her for it. At least, until a year ago.
"Nido, ran ran," NidoranM grumbled in response to the towering Shiftry. He felt so vulnerable without Sasha there to guide him, and didn't want to get into a fight with the Shiftry.

She pulled the zip-up over her shoulders, taking extra time on her right side. "My parents were one of those crazy teams that were trying to be unique themselves. Far as they got were fake clip-on Eevee ears." Skyler sent a small, cheerful glance over at the Pokemorph, as if to say no offense was intended. "Skylar. You?"

"Sasha," she answered, mirroring Skylar's expression. "So, are you heading out of Kanto, too, or just coming in?" If she's leaving, Sasha thought, I can give her that other ticket.

"Uhmm," she bit at her lower lip for a moment as she smoothed out the fabric over her arm. "Depends. I was hunting down a Pokemon contest I could enter, while doing a little soul searching." Skyler kicked each foot out in turn to check her shoe laces before continuing, "Basically where ever I end up, I don't mind. All the talk about evil Pokemon and traitor Professors doesn't scare me."

"Traitor professors?" Sasha thought she had heard wrong. What did she mean, traitor? Had she missed out on some important news on her trip from the Lavender Town ruins? "What's happened in the past week or so that I missed on the road?"

"Old Sage gossip, I guess." Skylar shrugged, uninterested. She pulled her bag's strap up onto her shoulder, fixed her zip-up again and turned to face Sasha finally. "Some journal snip its were found, how she disapeared, how that Mudkip of hers coulda been a test subject. A bunch of Magicarp attacks, is all I think."

Sasha still couldn't see what this could mean for the future of the world other than trouble. "I bet this bit of information was all over the media, blocking out everyone's cable, she said, chuckling at her poor attempt at humor.

"Prolly," She lifted her wrist to point at her Poketech, "But the GTS's reports are pretty on the spot, I stick to just reading their news. All they know is that she's gone, and that she knows some stuff." Skyler shuffled past Sasha to push the door open with her shoulder, stepping out with a smile. "Liammmm~"

Sasha followed her out the door, holding out her arms as Nidoran jumped into her arms, then on her shoulder, complaining to her about how her didn't like her hair up. "Hey, what's that on your wrist? Some kind of watch?" The device was something she'd never seen before, and it intrigued her. Johto and Kanto were so outdated in technology, the farthest advancement she'd seen in the regions were PC boxes.

She held her wrist out, resting her 'dummy' one on the Shiny Shiftrys shoulder. "Poketech." The clock flashed as the time changed, the little Pikachu opening its mouth as the seconds clicked on. "Sinnoh technology. Tells time, can put in notes, where you left berries, a little application that has a cute little Snorlax...~" She trailed off, now instead of showing it off, she used the hand for petting Liam. "Bulky but useful. It gets those GTS news flashes like I said before."Rockstar - Nickleback

"Woah, that is so cool. Maybe I'll pick one up in Floroma. Hey, any news on when the tournament starts?" Sasha was intrigued by the technology, wondering if it came in other styles and how they would match her never-changing outfit.

Skyler shook her head. "No. No ones sure if it's even going to happen, because all of these Pokemon attacks have been going on lately...". Liam made a soft grunting sound, ruffling his leafy arm attachments as if to say, I'll protect you. "Either way I'm positive I'll find people along to way to test my skills on."Into the Night - Santana
