Dave looked down, noticing the toothy ghost-type sitting atop his girlfriend's companion's head.
"Nice one," He said, as the little ghoul stared back at him with eerie eyes. "So, did you catch her? Where's her Pokeball?" he asked, before his train of thought was suddenly re-routed. "Hey! If we go through Jubilife first, we can stop somewhere for food!" He exclaimed, his stomach barging its way to the forefront of his mind.

"Well," Miranda replied. "It's funny you should mention being hungry, because as it is, so am I. In fact, I wouldn't mind going for some pasta, so if you want to find a restaurant first, then it's fine by me, and I doubt that John minds much either." The blue-eyed trainer then looked over and down at the aforementioned Sableye, her hand travelling over to a fanny pack at her waist as she did. "But well actually, concerning her..." she said, unzipping the pack with one hand before slipping her hand in and withdrawing a small, red and white ball. "I haven't officially made her my Pokemon yet, but now's as good a time as any. Right then." Miranda turned to face the little purple Pokemon, before tapping the aforementioned Poke ball with her finger, causing it to grow in size. "Sableye," she spoke aloud, clearly and calmy. "Ready to truly join my team?" "Sabl-eye!" the Pokemon replied happily, grinning, before standing perfectly still as Miranda threw the Poke ball, successfully capturing the clearly willing-to-be-caught Pokemon. "Alright!" the blonde said happily, spinning around as she held the Poke ball to her bosom. "I caught a Sableye!" With a smile, Miranada then proceeded to toss the Poke ball right out into the air, releasing the mischevous Pokemon from its ball at once. "Right then," she said to it, still smiling. "You probably still wanna hang out with Croagunk, dontcha?" "Sableye!" the Pokemon answered eagerly, before hurrying over and re-taking it's place atop the trainer's Pokemon's head. "Okay then," Miranda said a few seconds later, as she turned around to face Dave and John. "If you're ready, we can be off to find a restaurant now, so let's go!"

Later, at a restaurant in Jubilife City..........
"Man, that was good." sighed Dave, finishing the last slice of his cheesy cheese with extra cheese pizza. He looked across the table at Miranda, who was finishing her pasta meal, slipping some to Croagunk and Sableye occaisonly. John was off to the side, eating his own food.
Dave leaned forwards, propping his elbows on the tabletop. "So, are we gonna stick around in town for a bit? There might be some tough opponents here. I think I saw a battle going on as we arrived. Or we could go on to Oreburgh. Either way, I need to get some more training done....."

"It's up to you," Miranda answered him, shrugging slightly as she reached down toward Sableye with a napkin, wiping away pasta sauce left on its mouth, before doing the same to Croagunk, who rolled its eyes and croaked apathetically in response. "Whether we stick around here for a bit or get a move on with things, it really doesn't matter. Like I siad, it's up to you."

"OK then." Replied Dave, standing up and slinging his backpack over his shoulder, "We'll stay here today, sleep in the Pokemon Centre on the East side of town tonight, and set out for Oreburgh tomorrow. Sound good?"
Seeing how no-one was saying otherwise, the brown-haired trainer continued. "I know a park near here where people get together to battle, with battlefields and everything! Maybe we should have a go there, hone ours skills, yeah?"

"Actually, I have a good feeling that staying here will help us reap the benefits. Anyways, Miranda, did you remember to open the parcel from Rowan?"

"Well, if by benefits, you mean battling strong opponents, then yeah!" Said Dave enthusiastically, pumping his fist. "I know my Pokemon need a good workout, so let's get going!"
He made to run out of the restaurant, before stopping, looking back at his girlfriend sat at the table. "Coming Miranda?" he asked.

Within the grounds of the Battle Park a Pokemon Battle had just reached its conclusion. 'Ah! Gabite! Electivire! Say something?!' A trainer said frantically as it came to the aide of its two Pokemon. The Cave Pokemon, Gabite opened its eyes and nodded woozily. 'Return both of you, you deserve a good rest.' 'Maybe you should consider another profession, you're obviously not cut out for Pokemon Battles.' A bespectacled trainer with jet black hair said condescendingly. His name was James and he was from the Tohoku Region south of Sinnoh. 'Let's go Infernape, Vaporeon, such a trainer and such weak Pokemon are not worth our time.' He recalled his Sinnoh Starter. The trainer and his Vaporeon walked off hoping to have greater luck in finding a stronger opponent at the Oreburgh Gym. 'If all the trainers in Sinnoh are like this, winning all the badges and becoming Champion is going to be dull.' The young man said. Vaporeon barked at its owner. 'You're right, maybe going to the Shikoku Region would have been a better idea. It doesn't matter now. You tired?' Vaporeon barked again to its owner. 'Didn't think so. That battle was a waste of time. Hopefully Oreburgh Gym will prove to be a better challenge.' James and Vaporeon continued walking through the Battle Park. 'I am a little hungry though. You?' James asked the Bubble Jet Pokemon. Vaporeon barked excitedly. 'Hmph! I thought so! I guess we should eat before we head out to Oreburgh City.' James said, he and Vaporeon made their way to the Pokemon Center.

"Of course I'm coming along," she replied as she got up from the table, Croagunk and Sableye following on after her. She and her Pokemon followed Dave on outside and then onward in the direction he was now headed. "Maybe I'll try to get in some training too..." the blonde-haired trainer mused aloud, before glancing down at her Croagunk, whose mood, at that moment, seemed apathetic best, and sighing a bit. "Or maybe I'll go back to map reading...whatever works."

"...Hold on a sec.... Guys, you see that black-haired trainer that just walked in." He then pointed over in James' direction. "I know him from Tohoku region. His name is James, and I'd avoid him if I were you. He's very intimidating to those he wins against, and he's extremely strong. He's not as bad as Paul. Now, excuse me while I take care of business." John then went in the Pokemon Center, knowing thar things with James had to be settled now.

"Hey, if he's so strong, maybe he'd like a battle?" Asked Dave excitedly, before hearing a faint buzzing noise pass overhead. "Nah, couldn't be....." He muttered, brushing off the thought he had.

James decided to sit with Vaporeon in a corner of the Pokemon Center. He emptied a bowl of Pokemon food for her. 'Eat up, we're not going to be here for too long.' He said. Vaporeon nodded and readily ate the food. He looked up from his table and noticed three trainers were talking amongst themselves. They had mentioned his name. He was about to glare at them when Nurse Joy approached his table, with a tray of Pokeballs. 'Here you are James, your Pokemon are as good as new.' She said with a smile. 'Thank you, Nurse Joy.' He said with a slight bow, 'How far is the Oreburgh City Gym from here?' 'It's actually not too far.' She replied, 'Are you planning on challenging Roark the Gym Leader?' 'Yeah.' He replied. 'Roark uses Rock Type Pokemon, so I hope you're well prepared.' She said. 'Vaporeon should be more than enough.' He said, 'However I also have my Infernape and I've sent for my Gliscor from home.' 'Well I wish you the best of luck!' Nurse Joy replied. 'Thanks, but luck is for amateurs. In battle skill, experience and trust is all you need.' 'Very well, enjoy your stay here.' She said. 'Thanks.' James replied as he continued eating. 'I need a challenge.' He said, then looked at Vaporeon and corrected himself, 'We need a challenge, so the Oreburgh Gym better deliver!'

Dave lingered outside the Pokemon Centre, with Miranda, Croagunk and Sableye. "Man, how long is John going to be?" he asked impatiently. "Either that James guy wants a battle, or not, and if not, we can just move on to the Battle Pa-"
He was suddenly distracted by another buzzing noise overhead, following it with his eyes to see the source of the sound. Not finding it, he turned his head back, only to see a dark-green blur, which latched onto his head, obscuring his vision.
"GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!"

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!" Miranda exclaimed, jumping back as she watched her boyfriend begin to flail about, waving his arms wildly, a green-colored Pokemon attached to his face. To her left, Croagunk sat, Sableye once again perched on its head, the both of them watching in a bemsued fashion, snickering in unison as Dave continued to flail about. "Oy!" Miranda finally called out, moving forward a bit to place her hands at his arms and steady her boyfriend in place. "Baby, just calm down! If you stand still, there's a good chance it'll detatch itself!"
