The breeze picked up as soon as Rosa made it to the top of the outlook. She felt goosebumps form on her skin. Taking a few more steps forward, she took note of the four or five people sitting about and chatting. "It's sooo pretty!" A cheery voice caught her attention and she noticed the back of a blonde girl leaning against the railing. Well, that wasn't the very first thing to notice about her; it was mainly the green hat.

'Green hat!' Rosa cheered in her mind as she approached the other girl.

Bianca heard the footsteps and craned her head to see who it was. "Hey there! Don't you agree?" Unfortunately, she leaned too far forward, starting to tilt over the railing. Rosa yelped, quickly running over to pull her back. "Oh my! Th- Thank you!" The blonde turned around with a sheepish smile, scratching the back of her head. "I can be quite clumsy at times. Oh! My name is Bianca; I'm the assistant of Professor Juniper!" Rosa could barely get a word in through her jabbering. "By the way, I'm looking for someone. Do you know a person named Rosa?" Bianca questioned with a head tilt.

"Ah, that's me!" The brunette flashed a grin, earning a squeak.

"Wooow! You're ex-act-ly like what I heard!" Rosa was pulled into a sudden tight hug. This person was quite cheery. "Sorry! I'm a hugger!" She nearly tripped backwards after being released. Bianca adjusted her hat for a second or two then smiled. "Nice to meet you!"

The younger girl cleared her throat and nodded once, locking her hands in front of her. "Nice to meet you, Bianca."

"I have a really important request to ask you." Bianca continued. "Will you help us complete the pokédex?"

"Of course!"

"Oh, wow, thanks!" She clapped her hands, obviously satisfied with the answer. "Your support will help Professor Juniper's research move forward! Filling up the dex is totally fun!"

Rosa blinked at that. Would it really be that fun? "Oh, well, I hope so."

"Ok then!" Bianca reached into her bag, as green as her hat, and pulled out a chest-like carrier with a see-through top (the inside containing three poké balls). "Ta-daaa! In here is the pokémon that will be your partner." She flashed a smile before pressing a button that opened up the lid. The sun poked through the clouds above to shine down on the three capture devices. Rosa allowed her eyes to scan one at a time. The ball on the very right contained an impatient Oshawott that seemed to be tapping its foot. Sensing her stare, it looked up at the human and scrunched up its nose. She smiled at it before observing the middle ball; the Tepig inside was sleeping soundly, chin resting on its forelegs. 'I would hate to disturb it.' She told herself, and lastly, looked at the poké ball on the very left. A Snivy sat quietly while playing with its feet. It seemed bored. Feeling a stare on it, it raised its head to meet the gaze of the young, human girl before quickly jumping up to bow politely. 'My, what a gentleman!' The brunette beamed and plucked the grass-type's poké ball, straightening up afterwards. "I choose Snivy."

Bianca closed the chest. "Oh, wow! You and Snivy are a perfect match!" But then, her smile suddenly disappeared, eyes widening as she observed Rosa. A memory hit her like a truck, and tears seemed to appear in the corners of her eyes. Clearing her throat quickly, she returned the chest to her bag and tried to distract herself. "B- By the way, would you like to give him a nickname?"

"Nickname?" Rosa looked to Snivy's ball while thinking, the pokémon leaning against the dome with curious eyes. "How about... Jano?" She received a simple nod from the Snivy. Bianca formed an 'o' with her mouth before smiling.
