Thread: Yet Another Pokemon Journey - (Maj.Mario x TriniMad)

While Mauville was the best place in the Hoenn region to pick up batteries, devices and other electronics, not to mention electric pokemon, Rustboro was an older, more established town with plenty of shopping centers, the Trainer's School, all kinds of exotic events and most importantly the HQ of Devon Corp., the largest and most powerful of all the corporations in Hoenn. If one needed the most cutting-edge piece of technology, Devon Corp. had it. Rustboro was also home to the first gym in the traditional trainer's journey specializing in rock-types and chic clothing, if Roxanne was anything to go by. And yet, to get to Rustboro from Verdanturf one had to- yes, you guessed it- travel through that long Rusturf tunnel with naught but the sun's rays piercing the tunnel's high ceiling to light the way. For a skilled trainer like Mignonette, it wouldn't be a problem at all. Like she remembered from before, Mignonette wouldn't encounter anything that would halt her progress within the tunnel. Geodudes rolled out of sight or played the part of inert rocks when the trainer passed while Whismurs looked up at Mignonette with great interest and confusion. Typically most wild pokemon fled from the sight of humans, but some were able to sense that particular humans were friends of their kind and thus were not easily startled or driven away. The adorable mauve balls of joy poked their heads out from behind rocks and debris to watch Mignonette as she went past some even waved to her or chirped in greeting, but none of them would allow her to get too close. They were wild for a reason, after all. It seemed that Mignonette's travels through the tunnel would be very uneventful... At least until she heard the low growl of a very rare, very powerful pokemon nearby. Frightened, all wild pokemon near Mignonette scrambled for cover and fled the area before the owner of said growl appeared. A gust of wind and a big dark shadow falling over Mignonette would announce the arrival of a new, powerful and fearsome Pokemon. If she looked up she would notice a large blue dragon-type circling about the rocky main atrium of Rusturf Tunnel as if it owned the place. A Salamence from the looks of it and one that didn't belong there. They were rare- hardly any of them made their roosts or lairs upon Hoenn's mainland. After swooping about and scaring off enough Zubats to put a Max Repel to shame the Salamence sniffed and snorted at the air until its draconic eyes dialed in on Mignonette down below. Like the great beast it was the Salamence swooped over and fell to the ground on all fours with a great thump. It then advanced through the dust and debris that were kicked up to charge at Mignonette... Only to stop a fair distance from her. It lowered its head and let loose a low, rumbling growl as power radiated off its form. Now closer, it became apparent that the Salamence was a little smaller than others of its kind, yet it was still as intimidating as any other... And it was bigger than Caesar could ever hope to be! Clearly this was a very territorial male, but what it wanted from Mignonette was anyone's guess. From that aggressive stance to the way the Salamence's eyes were narrowed in slits, perhaps it wanted a fight? Did it want Mignonette to turn back and leave immediately? Maybe it was like some kind of highwayman in that it hoped to get something good out of the woman? Mignonette would have to take a guess on this one!
