Chapter 1: Canalave City
Chapter 1: Canalave City
"Ahh, Canalave City" Maria sighed with relief and joy of having just reached her destination.
At midday, Canalave City was a bustling metropolis filled with sailors, fishermen and the occasional bargain hunters. After walking a few blocks, Maria arrived at the town's Pokemon Center.
While waiting for Nurse Joy to heal her Pokemon, Maria asked if she could get a room for three days. Nurse Joy immediately responded by saying in her usual cheerful voice, "of course you may have a room here for three days, just as long as you don't mind other trainers now and then."
Maria replied by saying "it's perfectly all right, considering this is a Pokemon Center and all."
After her Pokemon were healed, Maria was given the key card to her room. Maria put her Pokeballs back on her belt and held her key down at her side. When she got to the second floor, she began searching for her room; "two eighteen, two eighteen, ah found it." She exclaimed as she put the key into its slot. The little light on the door flashed green and she entered her room.
It was your average room at a Pokemon Center; a comfortable looking twin bed, a bathroom with a shower, a TV on a stand directly across from the bed and a desk for writing and eating at.
However there was one little detail that seemed out of the ordinary in this room, next to the sliding glass door to the balcony overlooking the sea, was a long tall mirror. Maria walked over to it to examine herself "That's weird, why would there be a mirror like this in the room" she said to no one in particular.
Maria was about 5'4", had long blonde hair down to her waist and kept it out of her eyes with a green headband, wore a short sleeve green hoody with the white outline of a Pokeball on it, a white ruffled jean skirt and brown leather adventurer style boots (A/N: Think of the boots Link from the Legend of Zelda wore in Twilight Princess).
After a few hours of lounging and watching TV, Maria felt hungry. She checked her Poketch to see what time it was and saw that it was 6:10 p.m. She left her Pokemon in her room to go get some food to bring back up to her room.
While she was in the elevator, she overheard two sailors talking in the corner of the elevator.
"Did you hear what happened to Eldritch's son" said the more muscular of the two sailors.
"Yeah, I heard about the nightmares and stuff, funny thing is though, no one's seen this sickness in around fifty years" said the leaner, taller sailor.
Maria was rather curious about this and spoke up to the two sailors; "Excuse me", the two sailors looked over at her, "I'm sorry to bother you, but who was that boy you two were talking about, the one you said was having the nightmares"?
The taller of the two sailors replied: "that boy is the son of Sailor Eldritch, one of the most honored sailors in Canalave City".
