You turned around to see a girl standing a few metres away from you. Her reddish scarf was an immediate eye-grabber, and further down, you saw a pink skirt with a black and white sleeveless top. Brilliant blue hair and sparkling blue eyes were also in the mix, along with a giant white hat. Her light, creamy skin tone wrapped the package under one nice bow.
"Hi," you greeted, waving your hand with a smile. "What brings you out here?"
The girl marched up to you with a scary amount of confidence. With a friendly tone, she said, "Just getting some fresh air. You'd want some too if you were stuck reading in a room all day."
"Right," you said. "What are you going to Sinnoh for?"
"You spend enough time outside your region, especially your hometown, and you kind of start to miss it. I'm just going to revisit some places for a while."
Homesick, huh? You could relate to that. As fun as travelling was, it eventually felt like you never really had a place to settle for long. Therefore, the home region would become a haven of sorts. A place to relax and stay for as long as you desired.
"Oh, my name's Dawn," the girl added.
You returned the gesture, giving her your name and explaining why you were going to Sinnoh. This encounter was a gift. At the very least, you could stay with someone who knew her way around most of the region. Dawn talked so much about the landmarks and native Pokémon there, the lass came off like a mini professor. But that's what experience does to a person.
For minutes, both of you stood on the edge of the deck, chatting about various brief subjects.
Whenever Dawn's lips flapped, your eyes couldn't pay attention to her face. Instead, you focused as far as you can from the top of her body. Her pink boots and tall, black socks piqued your curiosity. Her feet, what did they look like? What did they smell like? The sun was blasting serious heat rays, but she was probably out here for a couple of minutes.
"…And even though it's my home, running around Sinnoh feels like it takes way longer than in any other region."
You stopped your quick glances at her shoes and shrugged your shoulders. "Maybe you just slow down when you're in familiar territory."
"I guess," she said. "By the way…"
