Starfort town.

"Things have been fine back home. I was grateful they let me leave so I could come see you though," Eira said, smiling at her young friend even though she was a bit uncomfortable with the way Sparky was hanging onto Z.

*Thanks yew!* Grace cheered at Scorpio, giggling cheerfully as she cooed at the much larger Pokemon.

*Of course it is. I must protect my Eira all of the time from Meta's tricks,* Walrein said, shooting a glare towards the rapidly transforming Pokemon as it chuckled.

*She does seem a bit temperamental like that,* Walrein commented, glancing over at the tall Fire type. *How Pokemon and humans could have feelings like that towards each other it beyond me.*

"I had no idea that Celosia had its own Pokemon League," Eira said in slight awe at the idea of being an official Pokemon League representative. "I remember watching the Pokemon League tournament in Hoenn when I was younger."

Grace giggled as she was lifted up and down by the much larger Pokemon, glad to have made a new friend in this strange place.

"Not that I'm aware of. At least, not in this region," Eira answered, thinking about her contest hall in particular. "So far there are only two contest halls and they are both run by queens, so who is there to tell us rules?"

*Have you taken a fancy to anyone?* Walrein asked, eyeing the young Dragon type curiously.

Shimmer hopped over to Scorpio and Grace, watching the two play for a little bit. Grace's giggles were strangely loud for such a small creature and it couldn't understand how being tossed into the air could cause such a response.

"Not with so few contest halls in existence. Maybe when there are more halls in the region there will be a league or something," Eira shrugged, not at all concerned with something like an organization for the contest halls. She glanced towards her Pokemon to see how they were getting along and couldn't help but to smile at her baby Pokemon. "It looks like your Drapion has taken a liking to my little Grace."

*Dragons don't seem to be liked very much in this land,* Walrein commented with a shake of his mane. *At least, they are disliked by many of the humans here.*

Shimmer just continued to stare at Scorpio as Grace yawned and began to fall asleep from being rocked.

"Grace likes befriending other Pokemon as well," Eira chuckled, watching as Scorpio gently put her baby Pokemon down so she could sleep. "She doesn't shy away from anything. I think she would try to befriend even the scariest of Pokemon if given the chance."

*I remember something about a war with Dragons where my Eira and I come from,* Walrein told him, feeling his age now that he thought back to when he and Eira had been young. *That might be why the humans don't like Dragon types so much anymore.*

*My Eira and I left for this land before in reached our home, but I heard that it was a horrible fight,* Walrein growled, shaking his mane out once more before eyeing Fraxure. *You are probably too young to remember it, if you had been born at all.*

"Shimmer was the master of the lake near Silvertree and wouldn't let anyone get close to the lake that would potentially take his position," Eira explained, looking over at her particularly peculiar Pokemon as it continued to watch Scorpio. "I had to catch it before it caused too much of an issue for everyone in the village."
