Virbank City, The city of falling fog and rising stars. The premise to see a brand new city in a brand new region had been too tempting for Aaron. He was bewildered beyond his imaginations when his uncle had one day contacted him out of the blue, with a proposal of accompanying him to Unova. He had thought long and hard, but finally gave in. Their cruise was one of the best Aaron was ever been on, not that he had been on many and the hotel was a four star, but the best thing about the trip was that it was completely sponsored by Uncle’s company so he didn’t have to spend a penny of his. As soon as they had arrived, his uncle had left to meet with his associates in the Virbank complex area. Aaron on the other hand decided to explore the city. It was different than any city he had ever been to. A completely urban establishment, with few or no scraps of vegetation, it had its unique draw. He had come across quite a lot of new pokémons and was half disappointed he couldn’t record them on his Pokédex.
Though his Pokédex wasn’t updated, he had done a bit of research on Unova before arriving. It had a similar gym system to Kalos, with eight gym leaders. He didn’t know if he wanted to have a pop at it, but it certainly appealed to him. After all many of his friends had decided to compete in different leagues as well. Maybe this was his chance, he thought to himself. Instinctively he gave a call to professor Sycamore on his pokégear and enquired more about the Unova region. The professor was gentle and patient as usual and laid out every possible detail in full. Aaron decided right then, that he would undertake the Unova gym challenge and compete in the league. The professor also granted his request of updating his Pokédex via a software patch. After this he called his mom, and as usual she was bewildered but gave in after a bit of requesting. He called out his pokémons and broke this news with the party. Roxy was overjoyed and tried to hug Aaron as per usual, Apollo seemed pleased as well and Marshall seemed quite indifferent as always. In all this excitement, they ended up training and showing off their moves till quite late in the night.
After they were all pretty exhausted from their flamboyant training. Aaron decided to spend the night in the city’s Pokémon centre, instead of their hotel. He entered the Pokémon centre and greeted the familiar face of Nurse Joy. He handed over his Pokéballs, and took a free spot on a reclining seat in the waiting area, eventually drifting off to sleep. Next morning, Aaron’s sleep was broken by the hustle bustle around him. He glanced at his watch and realised he had grossly overslept. He dashed to freshen up and collect his pokémons. Aaron quickly pocketed his Pokéballs and recollected his Pokédex, which had been updated. He also completed the registration process for the Unova region and received his ceremonial badge case to safe stash his badges. Quite a crowd of trainers was forming in Pokémon centre, as some were conversing in groups. While collecting his Pokédex from Nurse Joy, He overheard a small group talking about the Virbank gym. The three people in the group were joined by a tall spiky haired boy with a Blastoise as well. By the manner of their greetings, they seemed to be old friends. In that group, he saw a Munchlax and another Pokémon, which he didn’t recognise. By instinct he whipped out his Pokédex and moved a bit closer to record the Pokémon. The mystery Pokémon was revealed to be a Vikavolt. The blue haired girl recalled the Vikavolt, revealing it to be her Pokémon. Not wanting to be seen as a creep for stalking Pokemon, Aaron decided it would be a good idea to introduce himself,
“Hey guys, are you new in Unova as well? I am Aaron by the way and you have a great looking Pokémon. Admittedly I have never seen a Vikavolt before” He said to the blue haired girl.
