A/N: Ok time to introduce everyone to a new character. We will finally find out the name of the Piplup trainer.

"I guess I should thank you." the girl said.

"No, you don't need to thank me. If anything I should be thanking you. I would've been a goner if you hadn't shown up" I replied.

"Well it was the least I could do since you saved me. Oh that's right, I haven't introduced myself. My name's Misaki."

"I'm Ren. Nice to meet you."

"Likewise"

"So will you be alright going to Jubelife on your own, or do you want to go together?"

"Actually I was going to ask if you wanted to travel together. Not temporarily I mean, but as a traveling party."

A party? It made sense. We could get to cities easier and faster as a team. But still I hesitated. I had planned to travel on my own without building relationships with people. I didn't want to experience the sorrow it would bring if one of them died. But at the same time, I felt that I couldn't say no. I decided I had no choice.

"Sure. Let's do it." I replied.

"Alright let's get going then" Misaki exclaimed cheerfully.

We traveled through the woods without any problems. As a result of our battle with that gang of six, our pokemon's levels had gone up quite a bit. We reached Jubelife a little before nightfall.

The city was breathtaking. Multiple buildings rose out of the ground and illuminated the night sky. And that was honestly just the start. People filled the streets, both players and NPCs. The pokemon center and poke mart were so much taller than the ones in Sandgem Town. All together, the city seemed to give off an atmosphere that seemed like a very light violet aura.

Misaki and I found the pokemon center, healed our pokemon, and went to the nearest hotel. To save money we rented a room with two beds instead of two rooms with one bed each.

We decided to hit the hay early so we could head out early tomorrow.

I used the menu and changed into my pajama outfit which was just a black shirt and pants. I turned to see Misaki looking completely red in the face.

"What?" I asked.

"Turn around while I'm changing and if you peek I'll make your hp drop to zero faster than you can say sorry" Misaki sternly told me.

I immediately obeyed. Changing in PWO only required using the menu and changing your clothing, but I could understand how she felt. Having a guy look at her changing wasn't something she could bear.

We got into our separate beds and she drifted off to sleep, but for some reason I couldn't fall asleep. My mind was too busy thinking about all that happened today. I got trapped in a game, met Misaki, fought for my life. It was definitely the most eventful day I've had.

And this is only the first day of this death game. What other things are going to come my way as this game progresses. Lost in thought, I eventually drifted off to sleep.

Misaki POV:

Who is this guy I wondered. He seemed nice enough, considering he saved me. And he definitely had plenty of skill at battling. He's a great choice for a traveling companion. People are gonna need to form parties to survive this death game.

But still, teaming up with a complete stranger is such a weird feeling. Oh well, guess I can't back out now since I was the one to suggest teaming up. Who knows: maybe this'll be the start of some great adventure for me. "Good night Ren" I silently whispered as sleep took over me.

A/N: Well that's Misaki folks. I hope you like her. Feel free to review, comment, or make suggestions.
