Clink clank!
The loud sound of metal clashing with metal awoke a young blonde woman from her slumber. She groggily opened her eyes, revealing her unmistakeable sea green eyes. From the other side of the room, her trusty Pokémon partner had also been awoken from his slumber, much to his irritation. The woman yawned before sitting upright and pushing aside the curtain from the window next to her bed. Now what could all this noise be?
"Hey Soul, mind checking out what all that noise is and shut it up?" the grumpy Gallade asked.
"Fine, I'll holler if I need you," the woman, Soul, mumbled as she got up from her comfortable bed. "Now go back to sleep."
Gallade did not argue and happily obliged with her order.
Soul's Gallade was rather a strange case, what with him being skilled with telepathy. He learned to communicate through telepathy two years ago when he was still a Kirlia. It was hard, but he eventually managed to get the hang of it. Soul was able to understand him because he sent his thoughts directly at her using his Psychic abilities. After a while, he unconsciously allowed his connection to expand and reach everyone, allowing them to hear him.
After putting on her shoes and wrapping her black cloak around her body, Soul pulled the hood over her head before going out to check what all the noise was. The small morning breeze blew the blonde stray hairs away from her face. As she arrived at a clearing, the young woman scanned the area. They landed on two figures: a human and a Pokémon both panting hard and each one holding a weapon.
The human was a male who was a year older than Soul. He had spiky dark blue hair and dark blue eyes that held so many mysteries, none that she was able to solve. He wore a blue tunic with the sleeves grey, blue gloves with a stone on the back of the hand, grey trousers, blue boots, and a black cape. On his head was a black hat with the top part having a blue fabric with the kingdom's symbol. This person was once Soul's mentor, but now a fellow knight and friend: Aaron. The Pokémon was Lucario, an apprentice to Aaron.
A disappointed sigh escaped Soul's lips. She was very aware of how early they train and how late they stayed up from training. The blonde woman was almost positive that neither of them had taken a break since she never saw them in their room before she left. She really wanted nothing more than to scold them for overdoing it again!
"Hey, you two!" She called out loudly as she walked over to them, hugging the cloak closer to her body. They both instinctively stood in a defensive stance. Once they saw it was Soul who called them, they let their stance down, sighing afterwards.
"Soul, why are you up so early?" Aaron asked.
"I heard noises outside which woke me up, so I went to check out what was going on and found you and Lucario... training," she explained, letting out a slightly edgy tone at the last word.
