"Well, Will who is this?" a deep voice rumbled. The voice belonged to Bruno.
Bruno was huge! He was fairly tall but completely solid muscle.
"This is Anna" Will said keeping close to me.
"Hello, Bruno, pleased to meet you" I said smiling but not being able to shake off the fact that he could easily snap all my bones in an instant.
"If you don't mind Bruno, I am kinda busy, can you tell me where Lance is?" Will Interjected.
"I am here Will. You wish to speak with me?" A voice slightly deeper than Will's but equally as fluid asked.
Both me and Will Spun round fast. In the corridor stood Lance the Dragon Master and elite champion. I remembered that I also had drawn him in my Sketch pad.
Bruno hurried off down the corridor in search of food. Lance walked towards us until he stood before me.
"Anna, isn't it? I presume you know who I am. I am proud to welcome you to stay with us here at the Indigo Plateau, both out of curiosity and for your own safety." Lance said. "Will I presume you have gotten her sleeping arrangements."
Will nodded then said "Well lets go eat and introduce you to Karen and Koga and reintroduce you to Bruno."
In all my life I would never imagine that one day I would be walking between Lance and Will down a corridor of the Indigo Plateau, about to meet the other 3 members of the elite four.
When we entered the dining room Karen was standing beside the table with a plate in each hand. Beside me I heard both men groan under their breaths.
"Karen you have cooked for us" Lance said weakly giving her a false smile.
"joy of joys" muttered Will walking to a seat at the table and gesturing for me to sit down next to him.
Opposite us sat Bruno who was chewing on a steak of some sort of Pokemon (I dared not to ask,) and a spare place for where Karen planned to sit. At one end of the table sat Koga who looked annoyed. Opposite Koga sat Lance who glanced at me quickly to check I was fine.
"Who is this Will?" abruptly asked Karen as she sat down. Will stalled for a few seconds, wondering what to say. I too wondered what he would say.
"Rather than having to tell us all separately, why don't you both tell us what happened" Lance suggested relieving Will from the awkward question.
I began telling them how I had travelled dimensions before Will continued from after I gained consciousness. The other four listened in silence, only nodding or exclaiming the odd "really!" every now and again. They agreed that no one else could know about how I arrived in Johto. After that we began eating. I realised then why Will and Lance seemed unhappy Karen was cooking. Though it wasn't 100% disgusting, the food was not very far of being inedible. I politely ate as much as I could before we all headed for bed.
Will led me back through the corridors into his room.
"Here is your room Anna" he said pointing to a door on the left of a small hall. The door at the end of the tiny hall I presumed was his. I sat down on the bed in my room and Will followed. Suddenly I felt I had to show him I appreciated his friendliness
"Thank you Will. This is all so kind. I truly can't think how to thank you." I said overwhelmed by how generous Will had been towards me today.
"Just stay safe and be yourself to thank me." Will answered. Though the light was dim I could make out his expression. He was content. I yawned.
"I'm sorry, you have had a busy day and I am keeping you up talking" Will said suddenly.
"Wait Will its fine I want to talk to you" I assured him.
I asked him why Koga seemed so grumpy and if it was something I had done to offend him. Will assured me that he was always grumpy due to his ninja lifestyle and I had done great. For about an hour or so we chatted about everything. Eventually we both were so tired we could collapse.
"Well then goodnight Will" I said eventually.
"Goodnight Anna" he answered back before going to his bedroom.
