Meetin the folks

[Soren]

Soren had been in Norm city for quite some time as he prepared himself mentally for his first gym battle. Though the mental training was no more than sitting on a bench and pondering strategies he seemed to the onlooker like he was sleeping.

As his eyes opened he saw a blond man about 36 come over and look at Soren asking if Soren would mind if he could sit beside him while he waited for his wife. Soren would shrug and say that he didn't mind. Soren seeing the man sit beside him would do nothing out of the ordinary, but he would notice the Ultraball on the man's belt.

Soren's interest piqued would ask "I couldn't help but notice the ultraball on your belt, must have taken quite a journey, what pokemon is that?"

The man would smile and would bring out his Blaziken male lvl 60.

Soren would smile and be a bit in awe as he saw the Blaziken always having an affinity for fire pokemon as well as steel and fighting as well. Blaziken being one of the few pokemon that has two of his favorite types in them.

The man would ask [white]"Well young man it seems you have a few pokemon on you, since I showed you mine will you allow me to see yours?"[/white]

Soren somehow feeling in his gut that he could trust this person so he brought out his favorite pokemon Tetsuri, Skarmory male lvl 17. Skarmory would come out of its pokeball and stretch its wings up flexing them, then putting them on his side. As Soren pet Tetsuri, the man would look at Soren's pokemon in an odd way.

The man would ask [white]"How did you come across that pokemon?"[/white]

Soren would smile a bit saying to the man who seemed oddly trustworthy "Well oddly enough I found it in an alley abandoned, I had lived in Mahogany Town when I was younger and like Tetsuri here I was abandoned by parents in an alley. So I kind of felt a kindred spirit with the egg I had found and raised it myself."

The man would seem to have a bit of a melancholy yet oddly excited expression, as Soren uttered the words abandoned by parents in an alley, and Mahogany Town. Though Soren didn't know what to make of the man but that he was trustworthy somehow.

The man would see his wife coming, she in a simple sun dress with a belt, and that suprisingly had an ultraball as well. Soren's interest now piqued he would decide to see if he could talk with them and see if he could swap trainer tips with them. The man gets up from the bench and walks over to his wife with his Blaziken kisses her, then begins to say something he can't hear.

The woman smiles for a bit, then her expression changes to shock and looks over at Soren. After going back to talking which went into a heated debate by Soren's point of view they seemed to agree and come over to Soren and Tetsuri.

The woman would curtsy and say "Hello, thank you for watching my husband you have a very nice Skarmory, whats your name?"

Soren would say "My name is Soren, Soren Nagahara"

Both the man and the woman would get wide eyed for a second then smile warmly a second after, somehow in there faces they confirmed whatever they were thinking.

At that moment Soren's stomach growled, the woman smiled saying with a grand tenderness "It seems you are a bit hungry, would you like to come to our home and get a bite to eat, I'm sure we have much to discuss."

[Soren]

Soren, would accompany the man and woman he had met in the park to their home. They seemed to be on the well off side of the economic spectrum as there house was fairly big. Soren was invited in and had just learned that the man's name was Saito and the woman's name was Natsui.

All three of them were sitting down eating Sandwiches when Soren noticed the egg in the basket. Soren couldn't help having a flashback of how Tetsuri seemed to be abandoned and how this egg was well cared for.

Natsui would notice that Soren was looking at the egg, she would say to Soren "That egg has a very special pokemon inside, as I know your interested Soren. That is a riolu egg that was born from my Husband's Blaziken and my Lucario. Though we don't have anybody to take care of it. Would you like to have it Soren?"

Soren was at first shocked but would somehow get suspicious of why they were so hospitable toward him. He however decided to not look a gift horse in the mouth and accepted. Soren was given the egg and was told that he could use the extra room they had. Again there hospitality was suspicious but couldn't pass up free room and board.

He would thank the couple and head out to go train somemore placing his extra equipment in the room.

[Soren]

Soren would enter the house, Natsui and Saito were sitting at the table. Saito would tell Soren to sit down with them so that they could discuss some things.

Soren did as he was told, and Saito and Natsui would explain that they were Soren's father and mother. Soren would be shocked, and then would be angry explaining how much he suffered and how he inconvenienced a bum to take care of him. While he had to take care of himself, his parents would explain that they still loved him they just were young and didn't have enough money to take care of him.

After much talking Soren forgave them, and Saito and Natsui decided to give a penance to Soren of $2000 as a start for repaying him for his suffering. Soren would leave for training, but would promise to get over his hurt in time.
