As Wes and Rui were going to the mayor's house, Rui kept making giggling noises. Wes stared at her. He had to
keep distancing himself whenever Rui came to close to him.
"Why is she so weird?" Wes thought. "It's bad enough I've been delayed from Willie and those two lunatics. Escorting
is really not my thing. How much longer will it take for me to finally go to-
"Ahhhh, Umbreon and Espeon look so cute!" Rui exclaimed. "Do you have nicknames for them?"
Wes just stared at Rui and said, "Uh, no."
Umbreon and Espeon let out a happy purr as Rui pet them.
"These adorable Pokemon are awesome travel companions!" Rui said. "Both strong and cute!"
Wes let out an annoyed sigh. It didn't seem to bother Rui, as she kept smiling.
"They're tired," Wes quickly said. "I think I'll return them to their poke balls."
"Ahhhh, whyy?" Rui asked.
"Because they're tired," Wes replied in an annoyed way.
"Oh, ok. Bye bye!" Rui said.
Umbreon and Espeon both looked a little confused, but regardless were immediately returned to their
poke balls.
"She's annoying," Wes thought. "Out of all the people in the region of Orre, how did I get stuck with her?"
Wes and Rui approached a huge building, different from the rest of the building architecture in Phenac City.
"This must be the place!" Rui exclaimed.
"Finally," Wes thought with relief.
Suddenly, a person came out of the building. He was a tall man, with long silver hair. He was wearing a purple outfit with
a red strips of cloth wrapped around his waist. The man had entirely red eyes, which both shocked and confused Wes.
As the man suddenly realized Wes and Rui, Wes instantly felt fear. It wasn't that Wes was fearful of the man, he was fearful
of what the man could do. The way he looked left a dark impression on Wes, a dark impression that was strong and potent throughout
this man's physical appearance.
Wes slowly moved in front of Rui, in case the man had any intentions of attacking Rui or himself.
The man pierced his menacing red eyes into Wes's bright orange eyes. "Hm?" He said. "I guess you're a traveling trainer."
Wes looked back at him, and said, "Yeah I am, what of it?"
The man smiled a little. "Hm.. I like what I see in your expression." He said.
"What's with me?" Wes thought. "Why am I so nervous?"
Rui then chimed in, "This is the mayor's house right?"
"Oh great," Wes thought. "Thanks a lot Rui."
The man started to smile slightly more, and chuckle a little. "This is indeed the mayor's house," he replied.
Rui let out a sigh of relief. "Oh thank you so much!" Rui exclaimed. "Um, what's your name?"
The man started to stare down Rui harder, as if he knew her. Rui looked back, confused. Wes started to feel like this man
would attempt to do something bad to Rui. "His demeanor was very strange," Wes thought. "He could be the boss that Folly and Trudly
referenced back when I first saw them at Outskirt Stand."
The man then simply said, "My name is Nascour."
Wes immediately felt like he had been paralyzed in fear. "Where have I heard that name before?" Wes thought. Suddenly, Wes
said, "Well, we're off in a hurry to see the mayor, so if you'll excuse us."
Nascour chuckled. "Fufufufu, I have a feeling I'll see you again. Until then..."
Nascour slowly walked away from Wes and Rui. "That's a relief," thought Wes. "But where have I heard that name-"
"Let's go!" Rui said.
"Oh, right, the mayor's house," said Wes.
Wes and Rui entered the house, and they were in turn greeted by a fat old man.
He seemed to be the mayor, with expensive clothing, and lavish puffy gray hair.
"Great, more nutcases," thought Wes.
