__Emmaly tried scooting to the other end of her chair and ignoring the lady, but the blue haired girl (she was probably in her late teenage years) kept staring at her. Emmaly thought about moving to another chair, but her pride wouldn't let her. Eventually, the lady tried striking up a conversation with her.
__"Don't think I've ever seen you here before." Her voice sounded quite bubbly. Too bubbly. "Just passing through? Been a while since we had new faces here. Most new trainers just keep on going to Pewty City for the gym."
__Emmaly just kept quiet. She already knew she wasn't going to like this woman. She didn't want to engage.
__The lady was persistent, though. She folded her arms over the small table in between their chairs as she continued talking. "Here to challenge the gyms? I don't really see many young girls try out for the Pokémon League these days. Setting out to be a champion is a nice goal to have."
__Why the hell is she talking to me? Go away! Emmaly kept her gaze focused on the door where Nurse Joy would eventually walk out with her pokémon. She was just hoping someone would notice that this lady was bothering her, but everyone else here were too focused on their own conversations to look over.
__The lady suddenly straightened back up and let out a gasp. "Oh my! How rude of me. I didn't even introduce myself. I'm Chelsea, by the way. Your name is Emmaly Langit, isn't it?" Her tone suddenly went low.
__Emmaly's eyes grew wide as she slowly turned to the woman. Chelsea was wearing a smug looking grin as she stared straight through her. This girl knew her. Why did she know her?
__"So, what are you doing so far from home, girlie?" She asked slowly as her smile grew bigger. That grin was growing more and more eerie, and it terrified Emmaly. "You shouldn't be here."
__Emmaly jumped when the door opened and Nurse Joy came rolling a cart out. She called out Emmaly's name, but Emmaly couldn't make herself move. Riolu was watching this and immediately hopped off the cart and ran straight over. He jumped up on the table and started growling and yelling at Chelsea, making the girl lean back.
__"You! Get away from my Mama!" He shouted angrily. He could definitely tell she had a bad aura and was not to be trusted. "Back away!"
__Emmaly grabbed Riolu and made a mad dash to the front door. "Charmander! We're getting out of here!"
__Charmander was hollering as he scrambled off the cart and started running after them. This caused Chelsea to get up and chase after them.
__Emmaly was really pumping her legs to try and run faster with Charmander running closely behind her. They could hear the older teenager's heels tapping rapidly on the sidewalk behind them and tried moving faster to escape her.
__"Fine then! Houndour! Use Ember!"
__Emmaly could hear the houndour let out a battle cry before he shot out an Ember behind them. This made Charmander turn around and shoot his own Ember. The two balls of fire collided and turned into a thick cloud of smoke. Emmaly stopped and turned to see that her charmander was now butting heads with the opposing houndour. The two fire type pokémon were growling at each other before they jumped and backed away. They continued to glare each other down as they awaited orders. Other people and pokémon nearby were gathering around and watching nervously as this went down.
__Chelsea stood tall behind her houndour as she flipped one of her spiral pigtails behind her shoulder. "All right, girlie, be good and just come along with me."
__Emmaly held Riolu tightly, trying so hard not to look scared. "Like hell I will, ama ka! What do you even want from me!?"
__Chelsea wore a sinister smirk as she crossed her arms. "I'm afraid that's classified. You're just going to have to obey and come with me. Oh, and I'll take that Riolu, too. That thing will surely rack up some good money."
__This angered Riolu. He started growling as he pushed himself off of Emmaly and stood beside Charmander. "Pisti ka! How dare you threaten us! We're doing this, Mama!"
__Emmaly was scared, but they were going to have to battle in order to get out of here. "We're not going anywhere with you! We'll fight you!"
__Houndour was looking nervous as Charmander and Riolu moved closer, but that's when Chelsea pulled out another pokéball. "Fine, I guess we're doing this." She tossed her ball, and out came a machop standing beside her houndour. "You should already know that you can't win, though."
