The train whistles blow, as it starts to depart.

Hop sits down in his chair in front of a large table, "This is so awesome!" He looks over to Alain and Mairin, seated next to him, "So, does Kalos have any trains?"

" Yes but we never rode on it" Alain answers Hop and Gloria looks to Mairin and Alain, seating across from Gloria. "And this is your first time, right?" But Mairin isn't looking up. "Right?"

"Huh?" Mairin  looks up at her friends. "Oh, hum, right, right..."

"Everything's okay?" Gloria asks.

"Yeah, I'm fine, just fine," Mairin  claims.

Hop then notices a train conductor starting to walk past them, "Hey, Mr. Conductor, would it be okay if we let our Pokémon out?"

"It would be fine," the conductor says, as he holds up one finger. "But only small ones." He turns back to start to walk away, "I still don't believe the Champion let out his Charizard."

Hop holds out two Poké Balls, "Well, I guess I shouldn't let out Wooloo." Hop returns one Poké Ball to his back pocket, then holds out the other one slightly, which opens and shoots out red energy, which forms Grookey.

"Key! Key!" Grookey removes its stick and bangs it on the table.

Gloria holds out a Poké Ball, which opens and shoots out red energy, forming Scorbunny.

"Scor! Scor!" Scorbunny hops up and down, happily.

Mairin holds out a Poké Ball, opening it and shooting out red energy, forming Sobble.

"Sobbl..." Sobble looks at Jessi, who seems to be in deep thought.

Sobble then notices Grookey and Scorbunny are looking out a nearby window, with Sobble joining them, as they see the scenery running past them.

"So the train will take us straight to Motostoke?" Gloria asks.

"No, this train is taking us to Meetup Spot, Leon thinks it will do us good if we travel through the Wild Area," Hop explains.

"What's the Wild Area?" Gloria asks.

"Oh, the Wild Area is an expansive area, full of all different kinds of Pokémon, some of which are really powerful," Hop answers. "It could be so..."

"Awesome?" Gloria finishes.

"Exactly!" Hop responds, before jumping out of his seat, standing next to the table. "But before that, why don't we explore the train? It's supposed to have a delicious food car."

"Key! Key!" Grookey runs over to the edge of the table.

"Grookey's in," Hop says. "About you guys?"

"I think I'll pass," Mairin says, as Sobble walks over to her.

"Sobbl."

"Scor?" Scorbunny walks over to Gloria, who gently pets it.

"We'll catch up," Alain says.

Hop shrugs his shoulders, "Okay, later, then." Hop turns slightly. "Let's go, Grookey."

"Key!" Grookey jumps off the table and walks with Hop, Scorbunny and Gloria following.

Alain looks over to Mairin, " Mairin, is there something you want to talk about?"

"I'm fine, Alain, I just... have a lot on my mind right now," Mairin explains, before looking down. "Like what Leon meant by 'what I really want'."

"Sobbl?" Sobble tilts its head.

Alain reaches into his pocket, pulling out his endorsement, before putting it back and looking at his friend, "Mairin ... I have always wanted to be a Pokémon Trainer, since I was a little kid, competing in a League competition is a dream come true..."
