Toby was the first to wake up. She was sprawled out across the floor and moaning loudly of hunger.
After giving up on waking up Emmet, she decided to explore the place. Feeling the need to be accompanied while snooping around, she sent out Alro, know he is the lightest and quietest of her three pokemon.
The two walked out into what looked like a kitchen/living room, noticing that they were in a train car made for living in.
Toby soon found the refrigerator and cupboards and looked for food. Nothing.
'You've got to be kidding me,' Toby thought, 'I guess they just eat in the train station.'
Deciding that it wasn't worth it to wait for Ingo and Emmet to wake up. She left the car with her one pokemon.
After finding money on the ground, Toby went to the café in the station. She had enough for four eggs and she split them with Alro.
Trying to sneak back into the train undetected, she was met on the way in with Ingo and Emmet leaving.
"And where were you?" Ingo asked with an emotionless voice.
"I just went to eat food," Toby said, Alro squawking an agreement.
"Well you better get dressed and get your pokemon, you're coming with us today." Ingo said.
"Where are we going?" Toby asked, confused.
"To the battle trains, of course!" Emmet said, rather cheerfully.
After going inside, getting her pokemon , and putting on her clean clothes she found waiting where she was sleeping, she joined the brothers outside.
As they walked, Toby was asked many questions by the twins.
"So your name is Toby," Ingo said, "That cannot be your real name."
"My real name is Tobia, Toby is my nickname. I am 15 years old and I am originally from the Hoen region." Toby said, also answering questions thatweren't asked.
"Do you have a job?" Emmet asked, eyeing Toby curiously, "You look like someone who would work for Elesa."
Toby, a tall, blonde haired, green eyed girl, did not, in fact, work for Elesa. She was in very good shape, very lean and well muscled. Her being a tom boy, she doesn't realize how pretty she was.
"No, I don't work as a model." Toby retorted, flipping her side bangs over her right eye. "I don't work at all, I have no money and I need to find a way to get some."
"Like Emmet said, you could probably get a job modeling for Elesa. She always needs more models." Ingo suggested.
"Ugh, modeling is so girly. I hate girly things. I guess if it's a good way to get money… I guess I have no choice…" Toby said, stubbornly deciding to ask about the job.
Ingo, actually amused by Toby's rant about models, said, " Not all models are girly, take Skyla for example. She helps model for Elesa all the time."
"Well most of them are and they are usually pricks." Toby snapped.
They stopped on the subject and walked the rest of the way to the subway in silence.
They all boarded the multi subway, Ingo and Emmet taking their places at the last car, awaiting challengers.
Toby plopped down to the floor, sending out her three pokemon for a bit. As the pokemon gather around the girl, Emmet called out, "Hey swampert, come here!" trying to get his attention.
When the swampert didn't acknowledge the man in white, he asked the girl why he doesn't respond.
"Simple, this swampert is nicknamed, like my other pokemon." Toby said, then pointed to each of her pokemon, stating their name in turn.
"So why do all of these pokemon's names start with 'A'?" Ingo asked.
"I dunno. I guess its just a coincidence. Maybe because they're my A-team." Toby laughed.
Just then, two trainers burst through the train car's doors, demanding a battle.
Toby backed into the far corner of the train car with her pokemon, watching with extreme interest as Ingo and Emmet start to battle.
The multi battle was brutal, but Ingo and Emmet eventually won, just as Toby predicted. Throughout the rest of the day, there were many more battles, all with the same outcome. At the end of the day, as the three people left the train, Ingo reminded Toby of what she hoped they forgot about.
"So, are we going to the Nimbassa gym so you can talk to Elesa?" Ingo said to Toby.
"Ugh, do I have to?" Toby complained.
"Well, you said you needed money and don't have a job." Emmet reminded her.
"I guess. Can you guys take me to the gym?" she asked.
"Sorry, I have something I have to do. Ingo can take you though," Emmet said.
Toby wasn't very happy with Emmet's answer, she had grown more connected to Emmet during the day, she was now starting to see him as a goofy uncle. Toby was still unsure of Ingo because she didn't know him very well, due to him being more reserved.
"I guess he'll do." Toby said, slightly disappointed, "Lets go, Ingo."
As they arrived at the gym, they were met by Elesa. She was most likely notified that they were coming by Emmet over transceiver.
"So I heard you need a job." Elesa said, looking Toby up and down.
"Yeah, I can give you a job. Be here tomorrow at 9 for a photo shoot and a live model show. You'll be with me and Skyla."
Before Toby could even say anything, Elesa spun on her heel and went right back in her gym, leaving Toby dazed.
"That's Elesa for you." Ingo said with a slight smile.
" I don't even know how much she's paying me or what I'm going to be wearing." Toby stated blankly.
"Well, I guess we should go back to the station for the night." Ingo said, looking at the time.
As the two walked back to the train they slept in the previous night, Toby wandered what was in store for her tomorrow.
~~~This chapter SUUUCKS. I appoligize for the lazyness in this chapter and possibly the next. I've hit a part of the story that is difficult to move along. Ingo and Emmet are not well explained due to them not being the kind of characters you'd think to be open and expectable. Keep reading as I post! Thank you and give me reviews, I'd appreciate it!
