Alright, cool! I'm looking forward to it ^^

Wedgehurst was a relatively quiet town, for the most part. Its residents usually went about their days as quiet, rural folk generally do. Interruptions to the norm, not counting the occasional mischief from the Professor's new assistant–who was still considered "new" despite his constant argument that it had, in fact, been three years–or her young charge with a nack for finding her way into trouble, were not particularly normal but welcomed nonetheless with a patient smile and usually a short, pleasant conversation.

Walking out of the train station, Evie grinned at Lucario. "Nice job not murdering any kids in there," she teased. There had been some kids in the station that, upon seeing Lucario, had immediately gone starry-eyed and wanted to pet him. Evie had to explain that no, they couldn't pet him because Lucario didn't really like strangers and they proceeded to bombard the duo with questions ranging from how strong Lucario was or how far he could sense aura to menial things like what kind of Berry he liked best. It had been hectic and definitely tested the Pokemon's patience, and Evie made a note to make Lucario's favorite curry for lunch.

Lucario grumbled his assent, following along at Evie's side. He was clearly using his aura to make sure no more children attempted to come near him without his knowing about it. He didn't necessarily mind children so long as they left him alone, but when he was crowded by them, he generally got a bit annoyed. It was only for Evie's sake that he hadn't thrown them across the room to 'show them how strong he was'.

He shook his head a bit and sighed. At least it was over now and they could move on. It was a nice day out, anyhow, and he did enjoy the warm sun. It was common knowledge that he hated being cold and he'd been known to start small fires spontaneously when they were out camping if it happened to be chilly. He steered away from a few low level wild Pokemon in the tall grass as they walked by, not really interested in wasting his time with them today.

Evie hummed happily as she turned her attention back to navigating through the town. It wasn't very big, but it was definitely unfamiliar. "Alright…Centre Ave is right here, now where's the lab…? Big building with a pokeball, seems like it'd be pretty obvio–OH! There it is!" Once she saw the lab, the trainer took off running towards it. "Come on!" she called to Lucario.

Lucario sighed again and ran after her, easily keeping up. He could run very fast when he wanted to, but he decided he might as well just stay at Evie's pace. They soon arrived at the lab and he pushed open the door.

Logan stepped out of the Pokemon Center, cookie in hand. Her companion, Zoru, followed her, looking up at her with sparkling blue eyes. Logan sighed. "No, you can't have a cookie," she said, and shoved the rest of hers into her mouth to prove her point. "And besides," she said after swallowing, "you had a biscuit. It wasn't my fault that you practically inhaled it."
Logan looked around. "Zoru, do you know where the lab is? I think I need to go there for something. And even if I don't, I wanna see how it looks compared to Professor Kukui's mess…" Zoru shook his head. "That's what I thought." A sign caught Logan's eye. "Oh, it's the one with the purple roof." Excited, Logan started off to the lab.

"Thanks," Evie said, then immediately ran into someone with an "Oof!". She recoiled from the impact. In front of her was a tall, thin young man about her age who was rubbing his chin–Evie guessed that was the part that had collided with her head. He had purple hair that had grown out a little bit in the back and had therefore been put into a short ponytail at the base of his neck.

"Ahh, sorry about that," he apologized. Evie waved him off.

"No, you're fine, I should have been looking where I was going. I'm just so excited!" Evie exclaimed. "I'm Evie, is Professor Sonia here?"

Hop laughed. "Here for your pokedex app, right? Come right along, then." He noticed Lucario and his eyes lit up. "Oh, wow, is that Lucario yours? Mind if I take a closer look?" he asked.

Evie shook her head. "Sorry, but no. He's not too fond of new people. And he doesn't belong to me, exactly."

Lucario growled quietly at Hop, turning his ears back. This was clearly a warning that he belonged to no one; he was still a bit feral, anyways. He stuck close to Evie to protect her, ready to attack if need be. When Hop met his eyes, he glared back at him, but stayed still.

Don't test me, human. Your achievements mean nothing to me. He closed his paws into fists as he sent the message to Hop.

Hop's eyes widened a bit as he received Lucario's message. He put his hands up by his head. "Whoa, there. No offense, alright?"

Evie chuckled. "He's a little…overprotective sometimes. Lu, this is the Professor's assistant, he's trying to help us out. Don't threaten the poor guy, please?"

(I'd imagine Evie calls Lucario Lu sometimes as like a nickname? If that's okay lol)

(Sounds good to me lol)
Lucario huffed in annoyance, but crossed his arms and seemed like he wasn't going to attack anyone for the moment. He was still on high alert, but temporarily docile. He actually sort of thought of Evie as 'his' human. Not his trainer, but his human. If anyone hurt her, he'd raise hell for sure.

Logan pushed open the door to the lab and strode in, followed by a still-sulking Zoru. "Hello?" She pushed her hair out of her eyes. "This is the lab, yeah?" She looked around. "This is awesome! Way bigger than Kukui's shack! Does it have a basement, too?" Zoru's eyes instantly darted to the Lucario. He stayed quiet, but he tensed up, ready to protect his friend.

Kiki bounded down, practically falling from a bookshelf. She had been sitting on top of it, reading books that seemed way beyond her level. She recollected herself but still held a giant goofy smile as she waddled over to a kind-looking girl with a Zororark.
“WHOAH!” she exclaimed in a breath, wide-eyed. “C-can I pet your Zororark please? He’s very pretty.”
Kiki gave her politest smile, keeping her hands behind her back in case the trainer gave her any indicator that Zororark wasn’t friendly in that way. She rocked back on her feet excitedly, her pastel skirt swaying with her.

Lucario kept his gaze firmly on the small girl, stepping a little in front of Evie and growling almost inaudibly. He didn't trust children; he never had. They were far too unpredictable and he hated it. Not to mention, they always seemed to run up to him and tug on his fur and tail, which was very unpleasant. Occasionally his eyes wandered over to the Zoroark, which he also didn't trust.

Logan smiled under her mask, but you could see the sparkle in her dark eyes. "Sure, you can pet him." Zoru was still uneasy about the Lucario, but allowed the girl to pet him. Logan looked around the lab again. "Do you live here?"

“Sure do!” Kiki said with an air of confidence as she stroked the Zororark’s arm.
“You need Professor Sonia, right?” she asked, her eyes wandering already to another girl outside. Beside her was a Lucario.
Woah, Kiki thought to herself. They have such cool Pokémon. I’d love to show them mine!
She gave a small wave to the Lucario with her other hand, offering him an innocent smile.

"Yeah. Where is the professor?" She looked down at the girl. "How old are you?" Meanwhile, the girl's petting was calming Zoru down. He made a soft whine in the back of his throat, a sound that Logan knew meant pleasure.

“Uh… she said she was going to be around for a bit before heading out,” Kiki said softly, tugging at the bottom of her sweater while still petting the girl’s Pokémon. She looked around, her wide eyes scanning the room.
“And I’m five, but I’ll be six very soon!” she said, matter-of-factly. She looked extremely proud of herself for making it this far.
From behind her, a book about physics fell off the shelf from her previous reading. Had she understood any of it? Not really. Did she think she looked really important when she read it? Absolutely.

_{(I cant wait for this small child to just whip out a giant arcanine lol)}

"Almost six, huh? I think Zoru's about your age, actually. Let's see.. he evolved three years ago… and I watched his egg hatch behind the school a few years before.. Yeah, he'd be about six!" Logan looked quite proud of herself for remembering that. Her eyes fell on the physics book. "Were you… reading that?" Meanwhile, Zoru had a little smile on his face.

Kiki nodded furiously. “I like learning,” she said happily. “It’s fun.”
She tried her best to look as smart as she could, which twisted her expression into a sort of sly smirk— one she had seen some trainers do sometimes.
“Zororark!” she called, turning her attention to the Pokémon. “Wanna see my friend? I think you guys will get along!”
With that, she brought out a small pokeball from her pocket, enlarging it and looking up to Logan to see if it was okay if she let him out.
“Mind if I introduce my friend? He’s barely ever in his ball, but he was tired,” she said.

Logan laughed, a high-pitched giggle that you would never expect from someone with such a boyish voice. "I'd love to meet your Pokemon!" Logan was expecting something small, soft and cute, like an Eevee or a Minccino.

(Since Logan's from Alola, is it okay if I mention Hau eventually?)

Kiki grinned, clicking open the pokeball.
From it, red light streamed. Small at first, it grew in size, soon giving the faint outline of a giant dog-looking animal. It cleared away, revealing a colossal arcanine with a burnt red bandana. It stood there calmly, then yawned, showing rows of sharp incisors.
Kiki waddled over, hugging one of it’s paws. The arcanine gently nuzzled the girl, letting out a small yip.
“Morning, Ari!” Kiki said joyfully. “This are my new friends! Everybody, this is Ari!”

Logan jumped back. "An Arcanine? Where'd you get an Arcanine? It's incredible!" Zoru was still relaxed, and started to seemingly make small talk with the Arcanine. Seeing that the Arcanine had no hostile intentions, Logan looked outside. "Who's the guy with the purple hair?"
