Esmerelda walked on the rugged path, past crumpled buildings. All the while the "fox like creature" following behind her, trembling. She walked some more whale the rocks under her feet crunched.
'Crunch, Crackle, Crunch, Crackle'
She walked cautiously, and paranoid knowing that something would and or could go wrong. Her arms swung casually as her feet waltzed across the rocks. Then she almost tripped, the creature jumped infront of her.
"Woa, what was that for" she scolded.
The creature looked up at her, and then flicked its head up towards the sky sniffing. There was a footstep, a crunch. The rocks seemed to talk with unknown footsteps. The "creature" walked backwards, and cowarded close to Esmereldas leg is fear.
There was the noise again.
A chill ran down Esmereldas spine like a cloaked figure running through the forest.
"Damnit, whos out there" she shouted.
The footsteps stopped.
"Who's out there" she demanded once more. Not out of power, but out of fear. Suddenly a cloaked figure walked out from behind a crumpled brick wall.
"Your not a Glactian, are you" he asked, frightend.
"A what" replied Esmerelda.
"A Galactian" Said the voice agin.
"No" said Esmerelda. "I don't even know what a Galactian is" she said confused. What was a Glactian?
"Thank Arceus" said the voice. It was a young man. He wasnt very tall, but he was lean. Then again, she couldn't tell because his body was hidden under a cloak.
"If you were a Galactian, I would be dead" he huffed, relieved.
"What are you doing alone out here, it's dangerous" said the man.
"I don't even know where I am" said Esmerelda.
The man nodded. He looked down at Esmereldas "creature".
"So I see you have an Espeon" he said.
"A what" asked Esmerelda.
"An Espeon" said the man. "One of the eeveeloutions" he nodded, holding out his hand as if he wanted a shake from Esmerelda. She gave him a look. He stood, and then shook his head.
"How stupid of me" he said smacking his palm against his forehead.
"Hello, I'm Steven" he said.
"Old champion of the Hoenn Elite Four" he smiled. "Out here lookin' for herbs" he said.
"Why" asked Esmerelda.
"Ill only tell you if I can have your name" he said.
"Im Esmerelda" she said. She shoke his hand.
"Alright" he said "Come with me, Esmerelda". He chuckled, then his smile frowned and he toke a little sack from his pocket.
"These are the herbs, and, here is why I need them" and he quickly grabbed Esmereldas hand and started to sprint. She slowly started to trust him, and she sprinted with him.
