*Disclaimer* I don't own any of these characters except Lya and my friend owning Angeal Fair. Rest owned by Square Enix and Game Freak.

Lya giggled as they left South Sector Radiant Garden and entered the North Sector which the more crowded area of their city. "Man so much hustle and bustle for it being late at night..." the girl noted as she took a look around smiling at some young children playing with Pokémon that are their pets and the lovely flowers. "Wow this place is busy!" She exclaims with wonder but then feels Angeal led her off but then stop. "Angeal-" but lo and behold before her were the most famous of Gym Leaders.. standing in front of a Pokémon center.

"It's Cloud Strife and Squall Leonhart!" Angeal had an expression of that of admiration and awe. He held his hands over his cheeks. "We have to meet them, Lya! It's a must!"

"What if they think we're losers though!" The young trainer noted shyly, honestly she admired these two greatly, she even had their posters in her room! Mostly Squall's but still... she is a major fan girl.

"So how are trainers fairing for you?" The brunette trainer asked making small talk with his friend quietly.

"Then we will kick their butts! Literally!"

"It's been decent, enough. I wish there was more people who took training seriously, but, I can't complain as long as they try, and don't act up." Cloud responded, before hearing someone talking about kicking butts. "What are those two kids talking about?"

Squall looked over seeing a boy looking determined and ready for his journey and a shy girl who looks like she's just learning the ropes. He smiles a little at that to himself and gives the two a wave as he whispers to Cloud. "Wave to them, their brand new trainers taking on the gym challenge."

Lya went wide-eyed at this, Squall was waving at her and Angeal! This was probably one of the best moments in her Pokémon career! She wanted to say something but all she did was wave back with a blush on her face being as shy as ever.

"Cute. Maybe we should show them the handle of things, you know."

Angeal gently patted her cheeks at her being still and silent. "Get it together! They're trying to train us and show us the ropes!"

"Huh.. what..?" The girl stuttered then looks up seeing the two men in front of her and Angeal now cocking their heads making her get stiff, but she shakes it out. "H-Hi!"

"Hello, are you two new to getting around cities and towns?"

Lya looks to Angeal for an answer, too scared to answer for herself.

"Sure are! This is our first time getting out and about to start our lives to train up or Pokémon!"

"Then, you wouldn't mind a few basic tips and all, right?"

"Yeah…" Angeal had a wide smile.

"Not at all... and thank you." the young redhead nodded then bowed in respect to them.

"Your welcome." Squall nodded and tilted the girl up gently "No need to be so formal."

Lya blushed at this and nods and starts listening to what the two men have to say.

"This here is the Pokémon center, this is where trainers and Pokémon can rest along anyone's journey, you might also meet other trainers inside that might wanna trade or battle."

"Woah..."

"While you are resting, you also have a station where things can be bought for your journey. Pokéballs, healing items, that of the sort. Also, there is a small area for writing, so you can send letters about how your trip is going or have a place to write in a journal."

"I didn't know about the writing thing!"

"I did!" Lya smiled as she took out two journals one with Flabébé and the other with Growlithe on it and hands it to Angeal. "I bought them last week for us." =3

Squall lightly chuckled at the two friends, knowing there was more going on there and nods. "Be sure to send letters to your parents so they don't worry. Oh and be sure to talk to people around town in the places you go, might get useful info."

"Thank you so much for all this information!" The girl nodded with a giggle and wave.

"Your welcome, also if you have your pokédexes already then just head north on to route 11 or known as the Red Queens Garden." The young Gym leader nodded and gave a small hopeful smile to them.

"Awesome! Thank you!" Lya giggled and holds Angeal's hand as he waves back and leads her off.

"Come on, Lya! Let's go and get started! Next place we find we can write letters at we should, okay?" Angeal tugged on her hand.

"Okay Angeal!" The young trainer giggled as she followed after him heading north into the grass and flowers full of potential Pokémon teammates!

Lya looked around as they enter the grass and flowers then looks to her bag with 6 pokéballs within. "Angeal..?" Lya asks nervously as he leads her and himself along the path.

"Don't you worry, Lya! Everything will be okay!" He tightly held her hand to bring her along with him along the beaten path. "We will be okay."

"Okay Angeal.." she nodded and looked around carefully and sees rustling in the grass ahead! "! What could that be?!" She asked but soon enough Angeal was running over dragging her along with him happily and of course excited!

"I think it's a wild Pokémon! Let's catch it!"

"Oh okay!" Lya replied excited but nervous as she watches the Pokémon come out from the grass! It of course was a Pidgey a common Pokémon to run into at the beginning of any journey.

"Woah! It's a real Pidgey!" The young trainer exclaimed with a smile!

"Let me go first!" Angeal whipped out his Pokéball, and threw it near the Pidgey. "Spikey, go!"

Spikey squeaked and looks back at Angeal for his command his little tail wagging as he looks to his opponent with determination even though he's weak against flying types...

"Go Angeal!" Cheered Lya!

The Pidgey squawked as he awaited this trainer to make a move.

"Spikey! Use Growl!" Angeal commanded from the sidelines of the battle.

Spikey nodded and growled at the Pidgey lowering its attack!

Pidgey's attack was lowered! Pidgey uses tackle on Spikey!

Spikey was tackled making his HP drop!

"You can do it Spikey!"

"Ah! Spikey, use Leech Seed!" Angeal hoped this defense would make the battle last.

Spikey squeaked and released his seeds on Pidgey!

Pidgey squawked as he's seeded and sharks it off using sand attack lowering Spikey's accuracy! But after his turn he looses some HP..

Spikey whines as sand is blown into his face! D'x

"Use this as a last move, Spikey! Maybe we can catch the Pidgey! Use Hammer Arm Fight!"

Spikey gave a growl at that with a little smirk as he runs at Pidgey and throws his arm down hard at it squeaking as he hops back to his spot!

Pidgey chirps and whimpers its HP down significantly low and uses gust weakly again, but is honestly ready to be captured..

"Woah!? Spikey knows Hammer Arm?!" Lya asks super surprised! =O

"Dad taught him the move for me, it was for making good grades all year." He smirked as well, and uses a small move so the Pidgey can be captured and not harmed. "Use Faint, Spikey."

"Wow!" Lya giggles and smiles sweetly at that.

Spikey squeaks and uses the attack making Pidgey finally catchable!

Pidgey chirps in defeat and falls to the ground with swirly eyes showing he's done!

Angeal took an empty Pokéball, and caught the bird with it. He let Spikey get taken back too, and placed them in his bag. "Ta da!"

Lya watched as the pokéball shake finally making the clicking sound and smiles at that! "Wow that was awesome Angeal! I hope I can run into a Pokémon soon!" She notes with a nod!

"I know you will, one day soon!" He took her hand and smiled. "On to the next adventure?"

"Yep." The young trainer nodded as they walked ahead through the beaten grassy path.
