Snippet #1629192

Adinitium Ferry Dock

Raine saw clearly in the darkness, a bright streak of electricity. Was that a pokémon? What sort of move could cause that? Thundershock? Thunderbolt?

"Volt tackle," she mumbled, earning a questioning look from Luce. "Someone's having a battle over there." Curious, Raine ran towards the source of the light, with Luce in her arms. She was startled to see a few more familiar faces, though names weren't quite coming to her as easily. She noticed a strange figure run off just a ways off from her. From the light of Luce's tail, glowing brighter as his wool built up static electricity, she managed to make out a cursive F, inscribed in silver on the back of his shirt.

"Darn it, I think we missed something interesting," she muttered, before staring at the two others - they were heading off towards the docks. Although her usual manner told her to ignore them and get on the ferry, her curiosity overwhelmed her. The first figure, a girl, was too far away to reach fast enough, so she settled for the one with the chikorita. Him, she actually remembered the name of from a class together - Dominic... or something along those lines.

"Hey!" she called, setting down Luce and running up to him. She noticed the worn and weary expression of the chikorita by his side, and the zubat cradled in his arms - from its condition, apparently the recipient of the volt tackle. "Hey, wait," she said, grabbing his arm to get his attention. "What happened here?" It didn't seem like an ordinary battle, and something about that insignia on the runaway's back interested her. Raine wanted to know.

Luce tottered up beside her, his tail now brightly illuminating his immediate surroundings. That brisk run had built up as much static in his wool as he could carry - Raine noted that she'd have to avoid touching him for a while...
