Smiling, she nods to Joy as her Pokeballs are returned to her in a light blue tray. Picking them up one by one, she clips them to her belt one by one, naming the occupants off, making sure they find the right slot on her belt. She grabs her sack and slings it lightly over her shoulder, sliding her other arm in as the doors open for her. Bright light greets her as she steps outside, taking in her surroundings. With her ever present smile, she turns and heads off down the street towards the edge of town, ready to find another Pokemon to add to her "caught" list.

The music plays as Nicole guides her character through the virtual world towards tall grass, knowing a rare Pokemon just had to be there. Warning sounds blare from her game as a grin creeps over her face. She had just found the elusive Riakou! As the images on her screen ready for battle, she "tells" her lead Pokemon to emerge and use Quick Attack against the legenday dog. After doing a sliver of damage to the green bar representing Riakou's health, Nicole sighs, the words "Wild Riakou fled!" scrolling across the bottom of her screen. With a look of dissapointment, she saves her game and turns it off, the "click" resounding as her gaze turns to the window. She glares at the landscape rolling by, wishing they were home already.

The girl watches as the large, unknown Pokemon bounds from sight. Shaken by the encounter, she sits and stares after it, trying to identify it in her mind. Even Dexter hadn't known what it was. With a shrug, she stands and turns back to her task, but can't seem to erase the image of yellow blur coming to stop a few feet away, it's figure etched into her mind. She shakes her head and turns back to the city. It was getting dark anyway, and the center would be closing soon. She needed to get back and find a bunk.
