The body of the young woman rose and fell, rhythmically in time with her pokemons trotting. The rapidash was taking his time, like his trainer, taking in all of the sites.
This city was so full of things with which to listen, watch and smell. Reed knew though, that there was another sense coming into play here. Feeling. She could feel the atmosphere her herself. It spoke of a friendly city.
She felt glad, that her beloved companion was looking up at last. He hadn't felt this at home somewhere since they'd left.


"Hey...That looks like the gym over there." The pokemon raised his head, and sniffed at the air, before blowing out a short wave of fire. Reed grinned. "Calm down. Come on, we'll check it out shall we?" She slightly adjusted the woven rope article, that acted as a simple set of reins, and settled into a firmer position, as they broke into a light canter, in the direction of the gym.

Pulling to a halt outside, the rapidash clicked his hooves on the lightly dusty pathway. It would appear, that there was already some manner of battle going on. She sat, head tilted, as she watched a girl about her own age, send forth a Vulpix. One was very soon two, and both she and her steed, settled in to watch the fight.
