After spending days monitoring the egg, Falkner was forced out of the hatchery by his own staff members. They had to plead to him to take a break fearing their leader would be too stressed to properly handle his leader responsibilities. Agreeing to their conditions, the young flight master paced about the entrance of the gym lobby.

A voice broke his worrying (though he calls it 'concentration') and he looked up to see a young woman and a Ninetales standing at the door. "Oh! Oh, my apologies! Yes, welcome to the Violet City Gym! I am Falkner! How can I help you?" he stood straight and folded his hands quickly, hoping the movement wasn't too odd-looking.

Upon hearing the voice, Ayane perked up, presenting a wide grin to the Gym Leader she had been looking for.

She always seemed a bit surprised when she look at herself as a trainer and then to Gym Leaders who were not that much older than her. Nonetheless, Falkner had a reputation as a brilliant trainer and he wouldn't have the leader title if he couldn't pull through with it.

She stepped forward, a hand politely extended, Princess still leaning his head against her leg, "I'm Ayane. It's nice to see you again!""

Falkner felt a wave of relief that the guest did not think him strange and leave. He took her outstretched hand and shook firmly. "I'm glad you made it, Miss Ayane. It has certainly been a while. Forgive me for not recognizing you immediately." He relaxed as he let go; his smile more gentle.

"You are here for our arranged trade, correct? I have Natu with me." The flight master reached behind his waist to pull out a regular Pokéball. The ball was released and within a flash, the Natu shown on the PNG earlier now stood on the floor between them looking up at Ayane with unblinking eyes.

"I found this little one in the Ruins of Alph just outside the city. I hope it will be a fantastic partner to train." He leaned down allowing the Natu to hop onto his arm. He stood back up to let Ayane have a closer look. "Well, what do you think?"

She nodded quickly, smiling all the way as he went on to tell her about the Natu. There was something about the Pokémon with such an... awkward air about it that she loved. The big-eyed, ball-like bird looking at her made a smile spread across her lips as she leaned over, hands on her upper thighs in a girly sort of glee, "It's adorable!"

She carefully held her finger out to see if she could coax the little bird onto it, "I have a good feeling about it~!" That seldom-seen grin of hers was almost frightening, but it pulled the enthusiasm back a bit after a moment into nothing but a soft smile.

"I will take such good care of it."
