abstract | - Cerin He walks faster to where the Wooper was. "Are you okay?" "N-no." She coughs again, then slowly looks at Cerin. Cerin "What's wrong?" She struggles to get up. She is unable to do so. "I-I cannot move..." Cerin "Does this happen often? Umm..." At a loss for what to do, he kneels next to the Wooper, preparing to lift her. She slowly shakes her head. "N-not unless you g-get hurt badly..." Cerin He lifts the Wooper easily, no doubt due to his odd modifications. "Where do you need to go?" Too injured to wonder about the ease Cerin lifted her with, she just answers "Anyw-where I can rest." Cerin He walks to a bench, and sets the Wooper down. "What happened to you, may I ask? I don't mean to be rude, a better first question would be "who are you", but I'm much rather interested in what happened." "They...they attacked me...for saving someone from being robbed. I-I took down two of them, but was injured by another one." She answers, coughing. Cerin "Well, who are you? What exactly are you doing in Celrest?" Uopanosguhi "My n-n-name is Uopanosguhi. I was visiting, I'm not f-from here. I never knew there were s-so many vicious criminals in Celrest City. Who w-w-were th-they?" Cerin "Likely Vahashii. Unless Orion's gang has broken from her service, but I find that unlikely." Uopanosguhi "Vahashii? O-Orion's gang?" She asks, nervous, but faintly curious at the same time. Cerin "Vahashii is an odd Gardevoir that took over Orion's gang a couple months ago." Uopanosguhi "Sounds dangerous." She looks at Cerin. "W-wait. You never t-told me your name." Cerin "Oh, I'm Cerin. Why did you come here in the first place?" Uopanosguhi "I was visiting." She coughs. "I didn't expect any of that to happen. It is my first time here." Cerin He looks confused. "Do you have family here or something?" Uopanosguhi "W-when I think about it, I'm glad they don't live here. That city is not like what I was t-told." Cerin "Oh, that was just Central. The rest of the city isn't that bad..." Uopanosguhi "Oh..." Wincing, she slowly looks toward the direction Cerin was going. "Were you on your way somewhere? I'm so s-sorry for hindering you." Cerin "I was just on the way to my girlfriend's house. I'm not expected there, though, and I was seeing if I could meet a specific friend on the way." Uopanosguhi "A specific friend?" Cerin "A pokemon named Emmet." Uopanosguhi "Oh." Her eyes are now half closed from fatigue. "Maybe you'll m-meet Emmet on the way." Cerin "Do you just want to stay here, or what?" Uopanosguhi "I d-don't think... ...i-i-it would be s-safe to....." She is unable to stay awake any longer. Cerin "Oh, it's alright. You're out of Central." Cerin "I hope she has shelter..." He walks away. Two figures watch as he leaves. One of them turns to speak to the other figure. "Sounds like they know about a gang of criminals, who are said to be dangerous. One of them seems to have had a rough run in with them." "The other one knows a lot about that gang. Their types, how strong they are, and of course...how much they have." The other voice answers, clenching a sharp claw, before continuing. "Let's go. Quickly." They follow him, being careful to find cover wherever they can. One of them stops next to the bench for a minute before quickly running to catch up. A purple Gardevoir watches, invisible to all eyes. "Hmm... Very interesting....", she says.
