"Humph." David groaned, as usual for him. "Nobody here. Again." He was holding a leaflet with a blank look, staring out at the port. "You said there'd be more people." He muttered right next to the paper. TRAINERS OF THE WORLD!
We, of the Gateway staff, are glad to announce the starting of the championships at out Island! You are hereby invited to participate at the competitions, with the fair spirit of a fighter! Gateway Island awaits your arrival with much anticipation, and for the trip to be done, you must be present at Vermillion City to board our ship. The tournament rules and determinations will be made clear on board and at Gateway, and those who have the ticket sent with this invitation can have a direct entrance at Crystalline Silver, the island's top hotel.
Yours truly, Rover Lawride That last bit left him curious. "He's not my brother... and dad never mentioned him." David whispered, checking the second letter. "Hello, David. I am sure you have received the invitation to Gateway Islands? Very good! I'm sorry, I did not introduce myself properly. I am your father's brother, your uncle, Rover Lawride. I own the Gateway Island complex, far from your region, Kanto. I sent this invitation to some friends your father mentioned me. It was a son of a Gym Leader included, and I think there was a Gym Leader included too." He read aloud. Who's he talking about?(OOC: Ok, people on, now!)

Shadix was flying overthe skies of Kanto on her flygon, Green Gloom. She wished she could bring out C.V. to see the sites but even since he fully evolved, he wasn't able to enjoy these sites because of how heavy he was for Green Gloom to carry. She sighed as she looked at her old freind's pokeball.
"I hope this little trip to this 'Gateway Island' is as good as this letter said it was." Shadix said Taking out an envolope. "If I had never missed the boat in Johto I wouldn't have to fly all the way over to Vermillion and take the boat leaving port here."
She landed at the docks with only one person around.
"Him again? Ugh, this is the thousandth time I've ran into this kid..."

David sighed as he turned around at the sound of a voice. It probably wasn't for him, but still...
"What the-...?!" He exclaimed out of surprise. "You! You again?!"
For moment, he thought on her location.
"Wait.... could it be... you also got an invitation?"

She'd received the invitation just last week, inviting her to attend the Gateway Island Championship. She'd been ready to set out on a journey for a while now, so of course Misty had decided that she'd be there. So now, here she stood at the port in Vermilion City. It'd taken her a bit to convince her sisters to go back to watching the gym, but she had done it. So, here she stood after just arriving. She was rather curious as to what they had in store... but so far there were only two other people here -neither of which had she met before. Maybe everyone else was just running late?
Dawn held back a yawn as she walked into the port of Vermilion City a few minutes later. She was exhausted. The day before she'd taken a ship in from the Sinnoh region after she was invited to the Gateway Island Championship. She usually wasn't much for a battle, as she preferred entering contests instead, but she'd still brought herself all this way. Maybe it was just because Dawn was competitive, and she knew that she could handle whatever was thrown her way?
Walking onto the deck, Dawn glanced over her shoulder at her Pokemon -Piplup. The small bird like Pokemon was taking it's time in catching up to her. She could tell that he too was exhausted. This had been the most that they'd traveled in a long time, but it'd be worth it. She glanced back to the dock and frowned. So far, there were only three other people here... which, in her mind, was strange. [/blockquote]

David quickly noticed there was someone else there from Mightyena's loud bark towards an end of the dock.
There's more people coming... maybe I wasn't alone after all. He thought, turning to the other two people.
"HEY! Can you tell me something?" He shouted to either.

Someone was shouting up ahead. Misty glanced over the area, wondering if the person was speaking to her. Glancing over her shoulder, she only spotted one other girl coming up the dock. That girl seemed preoccupied with her Pokemon. Misty shrugged slightly, waiting until she got closer to the people. Once she was a good bit closer, she replied. "Depends. What do you need to know?"
Piplup had stopped to stare at the people up ahead. Dawn sighed, going back and scooping up her small Pokemon. She then continued down the dock. A group of two trainers were up ahead and another girl had just stopped near them. Maybe she'd go say hello, too? After someone shouted something, Dawn wondered over. She assumed they were talking to the other girl that had just arrived... but, she wanted to be friendly. Maybe they were off to Gateway Island, too?

Well, one replied... He thought, trying to decide on how to ask it without sounding odd.
"Okay..." David replied to the first girl who replied, showing the leaflet. "Familiar with this?" He added, pointing to the Gateway complex.

Studying the leaflet, Misty nodded. She reached to her back pocket, pulling out the same leaflet. "Yeah, I got it in the mail last week," She replied with a shrug. She held the leaflet up for emphasis before sliding it back into her pocket. "It said to arrive here, didn't it?"
Arriving over at the group, Dawn glanced around. She noticed them pull out the leaflets, and grinned. She couldn't help but to over hear their conversation. "Oh! I have one of those," She stated. Shifting Piplup to her left arm, she knelt down and slid the leaflet out of the side of her boot. "Are you participating in the challenge?" She questioned the two, as she held out the papers for them to see. [/blockquote][/color]

A chill crossed David's spine as the answer came through, even though apparent on his face.
These two are going... He thought, receiving his leaflet.
"I- Yes, I'm also participating... see, my uncle..." He started, but immediately went unsure of whether he should or shouldn't say it.

"Looks like we all came here for the same reason." Shadix said flashing her invatation as she walked up. "My question though, is when is the dang boat going to get here?"
She looked out to the ocean, to see if any boats where coming but nothing was there on on the open ocean. She sighed as she saw this.
"This might take a while..." She mumbbled. "Yo David. Know of any where we can get some food around here? Me and my pokemon haven't eaten in a while."

Misty was about to ask David about his uncle when another girl came up. Misty smiled giving a slight nod. "Is it just us four?" she questioned slightly. She looked between the newcomer and the boy, did they already know each other? "Oh, I'm Misty, by the way." She figured that she might as well introduce herself.
"What about your uncle?" Dawn questioned. Piplup squirmed slightly, but Dawn ignored it. She smiled slightly at the other girl who had just come over. As the red head, beside her introduced herself as Misty, Dawn decided that she might as well introduce herself, too. "I'm Dawn, and this is my Piplup." She grinned proudly as she studied the others.

A place... to eat? David thought, looking around.
Fish. Fish. Fish.
Restaurant. Fish.
"We could search for a restaurant." He replied.
Or maybe we should wait... He completed in his thoughts.

Shadix smiled a little as the two other girls. "It's nice to meet you. I'm Shadix." She looked back over at David. "But as I was saying, do you know any good places around here? I'm starving and so is C.V."
Shadix took out a pokeball and unleased the pokemon inside. A typhlosion appeared from the red beam. C.V looked around and sighed sadly. His stomic rummbling loudly.

"My uncle... I'll tell you on the day there." David replied back to Misty. "Call me David. David Lawride. Pleasured to meet you both."
He turned quickly to Shadix.
"You don't need intros." He added.

"Nice to meet you," Misty nodded, before glancing at the boy. "Well, I have to admit, food does sound good right now." She glanced over at the Pokemon that Shadix had just released. Stepping back, she was slightly surprised by the Pokemon.
Piplup squirmed, startled by the new Pokemon. Dawn held on to it tightly, knowing that it would hide if she didn't. "Yeah, nice to meet you." She glanced down at the other Pokemon, who's stomach was grumbling loudly. Dawn couldn't help but to laugh. [/blockquote]
