(Open) Coordinators 101

[noneed_toworry]

Dawn had enjoyed her time at Happy Happy Fun World, but being down there reminded the girl of her dream, and even though she was the only Coordinator on board -who wasn't podded, now that she thought about it- she still had to keep her Pokemon in tip-top shape

"Hey!" Waving at Dawn, Taichi entered with Agumon in tow. "looks like you've found the rest of your friends, Dawn."

[noneed_toworry]

"Hi!" Dawn waved back with her Pokemon calling out as well. "If you mean my Pokemon, they were always with me. What brings you over, Taichi?"

[yuuki_no_derp]

"Aw just wandering today," said Taichi, grinning. "There isn't much to do between researching bouts so I figured I'd give the sensoriums a try. Saw you come here and all."

[noneed_toworry]

"Aww, thanks~" Dawn blushed a bit while gesturing to the stage behind her. "This is how the stage looked during my very first Pokemon Contest, back in Jubilife City! I fought one of my best friends, and fiercest rivals, Zoey in the Semi-finals...and lost."

Though her tone had grown quiet, a smile was clearly evident on Dawn's face.

[zouichi]

Zouichi blinked, looking around at the strange setup. It looked like a stadium of some sort, though for what sport he wasn't entirely sure. He'd seen an arena or two on Earth, but none that were actually in use by the time he'd been awakened. There was a young woman with some strange-looking animals here, though -- she seemed the most likely person to have created the Simulation.

"Hi. Is there some kind of sporting event going on?"

[noneed_toworry]

"Huh?" Dawn blinked a few times while turning to face the other person who'd walked in, shaking her head and smiling sheepishly. "Ohh, not really! I'm just training with my Pokemon in a place that reminds me of home."

[zouichi]

"Your Pokemon? You mean these animals?" Yeah, they didn't have Pokemon where Zouichi came from.

"What are you training them for? Performances?" After all, they were in a stadium.

[noneed_toworry]

"Yes, my Pokemon!" Dawn introduced each of them in turn: from Piplup to Togekiss.

"Yeah, I'm a Pokemon Coordinator and I train them for Contests. I know one's not gonna be held on board, but..."

[a_cyclone]

"Oh, what's going on here?" Maxine asked, cheerfully and curious as she looked in on the Sensoriums. She was genuinely interested, and they were awfully cute. "I hope I'm not interrupting anything."

[noneed_toworry]

"Oh no, not at all!" Dawn turned toward the other girl, smiling eagerly while waving her over. "I was just training with my Pokemon at...a Contest stage! Did you wanna meet them?"

[a_cyclone]

"Pokemon?" Maxine echoed. She was fairly sure that sounded familiar, but she thought it would be rude to say anything about it. She all but sprang into the Sensoriums, though, with a big smile on her face, at that offer. "I'd love to meet them!"

[noneed_toworry]

"Okay~!" Dawn quickly called her Pokemon over, and they all lined up for Maxine to see. "I'd like you to meet my Pokemon: Mamoswine, Togekiss, Buneary, Quilava, Pachirisu and my first-ever partner Piplup!"

Allenby loathed and despised the Sensoriums, and under normal circumstances she stayed as far away from them as she could. But she had something she wanted to test--a setting modification to Nobel Gundam--and dammit, she did need to test it before trying to make it work in the Gundam itself.

But it looked like the one she'd picked was already occupied. "Whoops! Sorry, didn't realize--wow." Allenby hesitated before ducking out, because while she'd seen a lot of weird stuff, all the animals arrayed on the stage were still enough to keep her attention.

[noneed_toworry]

"Huh? It's okay; come on in!" Dawn waved the other girl back, worried that she'd chased someone away over a simple misunderstanding. "If you need to use the stage, I wouldn't mind sharing."

[nobel_berserker]

"Well, I don't like butting in to someone's Sensorium time," Allenby said, coming in kind of hesitantly. But she was more interested in the kid and her critters than being uncomfortable. "Who are all these guys? Are they real or just in here?"

[noneed_toworry]

"They're my Pokemon!" Dawn replied, laughing lightly at the other girl's latter question. "Of course they're real; wanna meet them?"
