(Poké) Slateport City - Onto Hoenn!

[Candescence]

A day later...


"WOO! Watch out, Hoenn, Chika Damon is here, and when I'm done, there'll be none who will be able to take me down!" Chika stepped off the ferry, clenching her fist.


"Skiiiiii-tty!" Skitty raised her paw in excitement.


"Is anyone getting a strange sense of deja-vu from this?" Ikuto asked, as he stepped off the ferry as well, HootHoot on his shoulder.


Hideto shrugged, carrying Aron. "Well, let's not fool around. Why don't we get going?"


"Yeah, I suppose... But shouldn't we start at Littleroot town? The Pokemon around here outclass ours."


"Yeah, but this is the main port of mainland Hoenn, it's not like we could stop at Littleroot first..." Falcomon replied.


"You guys... Do realise we could just fly?"

"Oh, right..."

@jp@ "Aw, what are you guys worried?" JP asked like they were clueless, as he stepped out of the port. "I'm pretty sure we can handle any of the mons here."

"If you haven't noticed, JP," Hideto looked at the Digidestined Warrior, "This is not the town Hoenn trainers start out from. We'll be creamed if we start training here."


"Hideto does have a point." Ikuto nodded. "We're better off heading to Littleroot. All of us have Digimon that can fly, anyway."


Chika grinned at JP. "Unless you'd like to stay here and get owned over and over again?"


Biyomon sighed. "Don't tease him, Chika..."

@jp@ "Does it ever occur to you that maybe not everyone here start off in Littlerut Town or whatever? I mean look at us; we got hand-me-downs, so maybe a lot of people get that too from other towns."

Looking around, JP spotted a beach off the boardwalk, with many people there, enjoying the beach like people normally do back home.

"You know, maybe I'm gonna get to know this little guy while chillin at the beach. Laters," waving them off, JP walked off down the boardwalk, looking for a stairway down to the beach.

"Wait, we-" Hideto was about to protest, but JP was already walking away. He scratched his head. "I know not everyone would start from there, but... Gah."


"Look, don't worry about it, Hideto." Ikuto put a hand on his shoulder. "We should just stay here for now and figure out where to go from here. Maybe he's right?"


"I guess so. Maybe we should train by ourselves a bit?" Hideto asked.


"Or maybe we should just get to know our Pokemon, first." Chika reached down to scratch her Skitty's head.


"Nya~!" Skitty purred in response.


"Sounds like a plan. I mean, come on, it's a sunny day, there's a beach... Let's have some fun first!" Biyomon suggested.


"Yeah! Last one to the water is a rotten egg!" Falcomon started running towards the beach.

All three of them of them started following.


"WAIT FOR US!" Cue a mad dash towards the beach.
