"Hello Ambrette Town! This is Dino, here to conquer you!" Dino yelled as he stepped off of the train. Ambrette Station was just as crowded as Lumoise Station, though less busy. Several people stopped to stare at Dino, though most ignored him.
Dino felt a sharp pain in the back of his head.
"Knock it off, you idiot!" Allison growled as she stepoed off the train.
Dino rubbed the back of his head. "Ow. You hit really hard, Ally."
"Well, you yell really loud!" Allison shouted.
Topher gave then a look as he exited the train. "Can you not? People are staring."
Allison glowered at him. "Dino started it!"
"No!" Dino complained. "Allison did!"
"Oh, grow up, will you!" Topher snapped at them.
Dino stomped his foot and pouted. "I am grown up!"
Topher just shook his head. "Whatever. We need to find Team Ambrette and challenge them. They said they would be on Amber Beach, where ever that is."
Allison opened her Holocaster. "Here's a map of Ambrette. We go down Man Street and it's a straight shot to Amber Beach."
"Then let's go!" Dino yelled, grabbing his friends hands and yanking them forward. Topher and Allison had to run to keep up.
Once they got outside, Amber yanked Dino back and forced him to stop running.
They walked there instead, giving them ample time to take in Ambrette Town. Dino could definitely see why it was such a popular tourist destination. It was sunny and there was beautiful sand as far as the eye could see, and it almost appeared to Dino that the buildings and roads were out of place. To the left of the path Dino was walking on was clear blue water full of Pokemon, and Dino was itching to jump into it. The only thing stopping him was the fact that he wanted to get to his first battle more.
Finally, they arrived at Amber Beach.
"I'm not dressed for the beach." Allison complained. She really wasn't- today she wore a pink varsity jacket and ripped skinny Jeans and gladiators, topped off with a white bow in her hair.
None of them were, really- Topher wore his black sweater/jeans combo and Dino had on his usual orange poncho and red and yellow jeans.
"We'll live." Topher muttered.
"Well, at least they'll know that I'm fashionable." Allison mused.
"Crisis averted." Topher muttered. Allison elbowed him in the ribs.
"Team Ambrette!" Dino yelled, cupping his hands around his mouth for maximum volume. "Where are you? We need to beat you and win a medal! Team Ambrette!"
"Dino, quiet down!" Topher hissed.
"But we need to find them!" Dino shouted, waving his arms he did that when he was excited. Or scared. Or happy. Or for any reason, really.
"Yes, but they'll be holding up a sign that says "Team Laverre", so there's no need for you to-"
"Look!" Dino interrupted him, pointing to a girl holding up a sign that said "Team Laverre". "It's them!"
Dino started to sprint towards them, and Allison and Topher had to do the same to keep up.
"Hi!" Dino greeted them, waving his arms.
One of the girls made an "eep!" sound and hid behind her Team.
"Don't mind her." The first girl said. She was dark skinned and wore a blue Ace Trainer jacket and a white skirt. Her black hair had red streaks and was in short pigtails. "Luna's just shy."
Luna blushed. "I-I'm sorry." she apologized. She wore jeans and a black tank-top with a red rose pattern. Her hair was pale white and her eyes were bright red and she had cream colored skin.
"Yeah, she's a character." the third girl said. She wore a cyan dress and red ribbon-like scarf. Her hair was bright red like Dino's. "I'm Sissy and that's Areina, be-tee-dubs."
Topher raised an eyebrow. "' be-tee-dubs'?"
"By the way." Areina explained. "B-T-W."
"Oh." Topher muttered.
"Anyway, we're Team Ambrette!" Areina said. "And you three must be Team Laverre?"
Dino nodded eagerly, matching Areina's entgusiasm with his own. "Yeah! I'm Dino, and this is Allison and Topher! Nice to meet you guys!"
The six of them began to talk (minus Luna and Topher, who mostly listened) about themselves.
Areina, Luna, and Sissy worked for the fossil lab in Ambrette, as caretakers for the fossil Pokemon. That was one of the reasons they were chosen to represent Ambrette Town in the Games.
"That is so cool!" Dino exclaimed.
Sissy nodded. She seemed to be just as excitable as Dino. "It is, though. We get to meet so many Pokemon most people don't meet in their entire lives!"
"You guys wanna meet them?" Sissy asked tilting her head. "Before we battle?"
"Actually," Topher said, "We'd rather battle now-"
"Don't be rude, Topher." Allison said, pinching him. "Don't listen to Topher, we'd love to. He's just a spoil sport."
Areina grinned broadly. "Yeah. We'll do that, then we'll kick your butts on the battlefield!"
Topher snorted and crossed his arms indignantly, Dino stood up, and Allison said. "Bring it." If there was one way to get the three of them fired up, it was a challenge like that.
Areina seemed to be just as competitive. "Consider it brought! We're no pushovers."
Sissy giggled. "That's such a silly phrase."
Dino giggled too. "Yeah. People don't fall when pushed over."
"You two are something else." Topher muttered.
Areina and Allison were still trying to intimidate the other.
"You know what?" Areina said. "Why don't we have our battle now! You versus me!"
"You're on!" Allison was almost steaming. Dino loved her passion, but she was starting to scare him.
Luna looked almost pained. "Are they s-serious?"
Sissy giggled again. "Yep! I guess we're fighting now." she puffed up her chest and turned to Dino. In a poor imitation of Areina's voice she said "You're going down!"
Dino laughed and Topher rolled his eyes.
Allison pulled out a pokeball. "Let's go then!"
Areina pulled out one as well. "Let's."
Topher, Dino, and Luna sweatdropped. "Um... Don't we need an elected official for this battle to count? Actually, never mind. Just ignore me."
Topher frowned. "No, you're right. Come on you two. Put your gloves back on. We're headed to the Pokemon Center."
