"(Y/N)!"
You turn around to find your best friend and her partner. She's smiling at you.
"We're going for lunch, want to join us?" She asks.
You smile back at your friend. She sounds genuine and her partner doesn't seem to mind, so you just nodded and followed them to Mauville's Food Court.

"Is that her?"
The man takes a look at the group of students. He raises one eyebrow.
"Yes. Keep an eye on her and that kid with a Metang."

May hugs Brendan in excitement as she grabs her Torchic doll. He hugs her back, a bit surprised. She quickly pulls away, embarrassed.
"Um... Sorry about that, I got a little too excited" May apologizes, rubbing the back of her neck.
"I don't mind receiving your hugs" Brendan shrugs. "I'll get Max a Ralts doll."
"Thanks!" May smiles. Brendan and Max got along really well, and she's happy to have both of them.

After crossing route 111, a couple finally reaches Mauville. They slowly drag themselves to the Pokémon Center. People around Mauville look at them a bit shocked, it looks like they haven't eaten or slept in days.
The woman grabs her husband's arm, starting to notice the students.
"Um... Ron, I think we should leave" She says.
Her husband looks around. The students really didn't mind their presence, in fact they don't even know they're there. Still, they don't want to get their kid in trouble.
They quickly grab some Fresh Water from the vending machine and some food at Mauville Food Court before leaving, bumping into a blue haired kid on their way out.

"So, where's Steven? Isn't he your partner?"
You glare at your friend's partner.
"He ditched me" You answer with a shrug. "We're supposed to meet at the entrance in five minutes, but I doubt he's coming."
"If he doesn't, he'll get a nice F" Your friend answers. She places a hand on her chin. "Should we look for him?"
"I don't know. He said he didn't want to be here, I assume he doesn't have fond memories of Mauville" You shake your head in denial.
"He could be on route 117. There's lots of trainers and I know he loves to battle."
"Maybe... I wouldn't bother looking for him, though" You mumble, lowering your head.
His cold words froze your soul. You knew there wasn't even a tiny chance to make amends with him, but that didn't stop his words from hurting you.
"Looks like we won't. There he is."
You look back. Steven is standing close to the entrance, rolling one of his Poké Balls between his hands.
