Far Past Old Sally’s

Beep!

A curious noise caught Raine’s ears, and she quickly glanced at her X-transceiver. “Update complete?” she echoed. Looking over at Dom, it seemed the one on his wrist had performed a similar action. “Yeah, it sounds like we’re heading to Lake Arcan then,” she said. She remembered hearing some rumors about the place before. “Something about some wealthy people living by the north shore,” she murmured.

Well perhaps she could make some money there, since she certainly needed it if she wanted to get across another ferry. “Hurry up, Luce,” she sighed, glancing back at her pokémon. To her surprise, he was awkwardly trying to be friendly with Dom’s chikorita. Obviously, it wasn’t very easy for him – Raine wasn’t surprised seeing as he was intimidated by Silas and wary of Arden, his own comrades.

However, as the mareep bleated in an attempt at greeting, Raine chuckled. She found his antics a little too adorable. Glancing at her X-transceiver again, she said, “It looks like the lake isn’t too far now. We’ll get there long before night fall.” Picking up her pace a little, she looked up at the sky to see clouds in the distance… come to think of it, she never did try to see how accurate a treecko’s weather predictions are. She noted to herself to ask Silas a little later. It would probably be beneficial to know what the weather would be like while they travelled.

“I wonder what the town’s like,” she mused out loud. She had never been outside of Adinitium City before, so Raine had never visited a lakeside settlement. Although she didn’t show it, she was rather excited about what she would see.
