[Drake Argentius] As Drake approached the pair, neither the boy nor the girl noticed him at first. The Spheal by the girl's side, however, did and pointed him out with strange barking noises to the Lotad. The girl, mistaking her Pokemon's communication to be referring to her last skip, which had been rather poor. "Shuttup, Spheal, my wrist slipped," she told her Pokemon good-naturedly.
"Yeah, well..." the boy said, "your wrist slips quite frequently."
Just then, Drake greeted them aloud. Both turned, smiling, to the brown-haired boy. "Hello," said the boy. "I'm Nicholas, and this is my sister Ellen. We live just inside the city. Have we met you somewhere? You seem familiar."

Ellen added, "Yeah, that's a good sign. Bronzor are very intuitive. If they trust someone, then anyone can trust them."
Spheal barked again, and Ellen looked down at it with a frown. Nicholas ignored his sister's gesture and continued, "Water Pokemon?" He thought for a minute. "Well, since we were young, Ellen and myself have become fishermen of sorts. She knows intuitively where to find good water Pokemon, and I'm an expert angler."
Ellen smiled and nodded, looking up from her conversation with Spheal. "Yes, he is. We're actually leaving tomorrow to go on a fishing tour. First we'll travel to Olivine City by a speedy ferry, then we'll do a bit of exploring of the Orange Isles. Or we may just skip that and head straight on over to Hoenn, where there are tons of deep-sea fishing areas. Do you want to come?"
Nicholas pointed out, "If you come with us, then you'll be able to see more than just water Pokemon. You'd be free to catch many different types of Pokemon while we're moving between fishing spots."
((No I didn't. Mostly because it's a lucky number in this post.))

(A bit shorter than before, but I'm still satisfied with it, I guess)

Ellen added, "With my Pokemon, it doesn't take a long time to get to Cinnabar Island. If we get up early tomorrow, we could be there by midday... which is plenty of time to explore the island. It's such a nice place." The Spheal, which seemed excited by the prospect of more travel compainions, jumped up and down a few times. "The ferry leaves at 6:00PM. So we don't want to miss it. But that shouldn't be a problem."
Nicholas, who had been looking at his watch, said, "It's just after four. Do you think that you can be ready to leave with everything that you'll need in an hour? If not, we'll just sleep here and head out really early in the morning."

(Hmm... This one is also shorter. Perhaps as I get more involved the legnth of my posts go down? I must learn of the trend!)
