[AU event is go]

[notsilvertongue]

Hey guys! Uh... my name's Lyra Moretti. I'm new here. You probably already know my dad, he's a gym leader. I'm a trainer too, so if there are any Pokemon here, let's be friends, okay? My favorite color is red, my favorite Pokemon is Feraligatr, but my favorite type is flying, and I like cinnamon buns and burgers.

So what's there to do around here,

I didn't know he had a daughter! You learn something new every day. I'm Vaporeon. I kicked your Dad's butt a while ago! Then I got my butt kicked at Celadon so now I'm here and

There's no way Team Rocket would be all the way out here, but there's this really shady part of town you go to after sunset and the streets are just FILLED with crackheads and drunks! It's wild.

Hi, Vaporeon! You must be one of those Pokemon-people Dad mentioned. It's funny how many people don't realize gym leaders might have kids. Tons of people were surprised when Janine inherited Fuchsia's gym, weren't they?

A really shady part of town, huh...? I know my dad would freak out if I went somewhere like that, so I guess I'd better leave it alone.

Just kidding! Where is it, and how long does it take to get there?

[vaporeonshowers]

I guess it's because the tabloids don't mention them so often... Not that I read those or anything. Just. An example.

Good idea. It reeks over there.

Hahaha! You know the east part of town where there's a whole bunch of liquor stores and 24-hour restaurants? Once you hit the part covered in graffiti and with bars all over the windows you know you're in the right place. It's even easier to tell at night. We'd have to find some cheap dirty clothes if we want to blend in though. If we look like we have money there's no telling what could happen!

The papers are gonna be mentioning me soon enough. Just you wait.

That shouldn't be too hard. I've been on the road for two years, so I've got a few outfits that are pretty worn out.

You don't have to worry about anything sketchy happening, anyway. My team'll protect us. Maybe not Ellie, since she likes to go to bed early, but definitely Thalia. Thalia's a night owl.

[vaporeonshowers]

A celebrity-to-be, huh? Can I get your autograph?

[Private]
You're pretty young, huh? You're probably too small for me to borrow anything but I can head to the thrift store and rub the clothes in dirt or something...

What kind of Pokemon is Thalia?

[notsilvertongue]

Bring me something to sign, and I'll think about it.

[Private]
Yeah, I guess I'm a bit on the short side compared to most people. I could see if I could lend you one of Dad's old shirts, but he's... definitely not on the short side.

Thalia's my Umbreon's name. Even before she evolved, she always did like staying up late, so it'll be no trouble for her to play guard dog for us. ...Guard fox... cat... dog. I never really did figure out which one Eevees were.

HOW ABOUT THIS BANANA PEEL

Would I get to keep it to sell on the internet?

Oh, wow! I've always wanted to be an Umbreon! Obviously I can't now, but when I was younger I was a bit of a night owl myself. Now I get to meet a real one. That's great.
I've always felt more like a dog myself, but there was one at the breeding center who chased jingly balls around and slept half the time. It probably depends on the Eevee.

Not much point in signing it otherwise, right?

I always wondered if Eevees had a hard time making up their mind. Thalia always seemed so sure about what she wanted to be! Every time I suggested a stone, she just shook her head.
