just a small town girl
Who: Veronica Madaraki and YOU!
Where: Goldenrod City
When: October 16th
Summary: A young bodyguard finally finds herself in the biggest city in the region and is completely lost. Time to explore!
Rating: likely PG for Veronica's language
Log:
It had taken almost half a month, following several hiccups involving caves and what was within them, but when her eyes finally found the city of Goldenrod in the distance, Veronica had been filled with relief. Both Union cave, and then the Ilex forest had proven to be troublesome, but she'd muscled through like she always did. And now here she was, entering the biggest city in the region. Even from a distance, she had been able to see that the city was bustling, with tall buildings and people who might have been in the same boat she was.
Obviously, the first thing Veronica had to do was find a hotel and go to bed. Because who cares about socializing when you can sleep in an actual bed for once.
But that was yesterday. Today, Veronica was awake and energized; prepared to take on the city and whatever it had in store. There were things to do around here, and a person or two to see. But not more than that. Veronica was many things, but a social butterfly she was not.
And there was no way she could never keep all her Pokémon in their balls at once. So, with restrained acceptance, Veronica ventured forth into the city, unaware of what she might find, but ready to look.
A: Out and about
Finally out of the hotel.
So, huh. Goldenrod. Lots of tall buildings around here. Yup. Veronica scanned the buildings around her, stopping when she felt her Eevee, Kawa, brush against her feet. Clearly, she wanted to go and explore this new place. It seemed all her Pokémon wanted to go have a look around, but she couldn't have them all out. Not yet. Only Ako and Kawa were out right now. Two were her limit, since the both of them tended to go off in opposite directions.
Eventually she just gave up on planning her day and just started walking, straight forward, in a random direction. Ako rode on her shoulder, and Kawa trailed behind her. She was likely to attract people's gaze just by walking by them, because of the scars on her face and hands. She would brush them off of course, as she always did unless someone came up to talk to her.
But in a large city like this, attention was going to be a given, right?
B: Shopping till you drop
The signs were right after all. The department store was huge, towering over many of the buildings around it. Veronica could easily tell the store had a lot, just from the outside of it and the lobby within.
Still, for as well stocked as it was, Veronica wasn't much for shopping. She'd do a little browsing around, maybe look through the clothing and purchase a few things along with some Pokémon stuff. But mostly she kept to the ground floor and the entrance, leaning back against a wall while keeping an eye out.
It would seem she was waiting for something, or someone. Or, maybe she was just trying to look cool, that was possible too.
C: In which gyms aren't just for exercising
Another Pokémon gym. So, they really were in almost every town, huh?
Veronica eyed the doors leading to inside the Goldenrod gym with curiosity. The sign said the gym leader here was a "Whitney". And from what else she pieced together from overheard conversations, she was a normal type trainer. An interesting fact, if she was planning on using that fact to her advantage.
But, was she really thinking about taking the gym challenge? What was the point in that? Other than to use those hidden machines of course. Did she want to follow the rules of the world like that?
....Of course, this mental struggle will go unheard by most. So people will just see a young woman glaring at the gym from across the street. Maybe someone should point that out to her.
D: Whatever scenario you want idk
Since anything can happen, right?

[She still finds that a bit hard to believe. Like, seriously.]

[Girl, you're in a video game, and you're having trouble with this?]
no subject
[She doesn't play many video games, okay? Her gaze shifted from the gym back to Gary and his Garchomp.]
So, have you battled here?

She wasn't the jealous type, but it kind of sucked.]
I'll have to figure out the strategy the gym leader uses, if I want to get a badge then.

[She was suddenly feeling very underprepared. And she didn't like that one bit.]
Do you know where I can find one?
no subject
[He thinks for a moment, hand up to his chin.]
Normal types, like Whitney uses, aren't strong against anything so I think you'd be fine if you just went in as you are now so long as your Pokemon at least match hers in level... Ah, but I could breed a Torchic for you if it's really something that bothers you. Their final evolution, Blaziken, is Fire and Fighting.
no subject
Ah, no, that's okay. I'll find some other way. [She'd rather not end up in debt to another person.]
