(( This is my first Pokemon RP, so bear with me. I've done RP before, but nothing Pokemon related.))
Bennett stepped out of his cabin and looked at his watch. 6:47am "Oh good, we'll reach Olivine in about half an hour" he thought to himself as he made his way down the corridor, toward the common area, his Ninetales following obediently at his side. Under any normal circumstances, Bennett would be leaving Veilstone City with his fourth gym badge by now and be on his way to Pastoria to get his fifth. However, Bennett's Sinnoh League challenge had taken an interesting turn. It had all started the day before his gym battle with Fantina, about a week ago. Bennett's Tyranitar, Tessa, had begun acting oddly. She would often just forget about what she was doing, lose all focus and stare out into the sky with a forlorn, faraway look in her eyes. She had lost all will to compete in a battle. Bennett was still finding her behaviour rather perplexing. Then, after his battle with Fantina, he received a phone call from his mother, Lydia, who told him that something of great importance to him and his Pokémon had happened back home, and that he should catch the next boat back to Johto.
Bennett surveyed the large common room of the ship. The same crowd as usual. Most of them were trainers who would talk of nothing but all the great battles and contests that awaited them in Johto. Even though Bennett had kept to himself, not particularly interested in battles at this point in time, the younger trainers were making nuisances of themselves, asking all sorts of questions about his Ninetales and challenging him to battles, all of which he refused. Most of the older trainers Bennett found were interesting and cared about more than just battles. But not the younglings. As tolerant a person as Bennett was, he was starting to find them rather annoying. Not really wanting to put up with them, Bennett strolled straight through the common room and out onto the deck.
The wind on the deck was refreshing and cool as it blew across Bennett's face. He looked down at his Ninetales, who also seemed to be enjoying the fresh air. "Nice, isn't it Natasha?" His Ninetales simply responded to him with a look of endearment. Suddenly, Bennett heard the door open behind him. Bennett turned on his heel to find one of the young trainers that had been pestering him.
"Hey! Trench-Coat Guy! You'll never guess what I just heard!"
Bennett folded his arms across his chest whilst his Ninetales stared at the kid with air of suspicion.
"What is it this time, Joshua?"
"I heard that there's someone working for Team Galactic on the boat!"
"Oh really? Is that so?" Bennett replied with a hint of sarcasm
"Yeah! I thought that if you're as tough as you say you are, you could find them and use your Pokémon to defeat them."
"Well, why don't you do me a favour and find them for me. Then you just bring them here and then I'll beat them."
"Humph! You're no fun at all. I thought you were cool." And with that, the young trainer retreated back into the common room.
"Team Galactic? Here? Rubbish, why would they be interested in Johto?" Bennett thought to himself. He looked down at his Ninetales "I hope this big mess sorts itself out when we back to Ecruteak, Natasha, or I just won't know what to do." With that, Bennett continued to look out across the sea, and take in the sea air.
