The streets of Azalea were as sleepy as they normally were. Some citizens walked through the cobblestone and dirt pathways that marked the roads around the area. Young couples paused to stop and stare at the eccentric boy who crawled his way up the wide trunks of the live oaks or scurried on all fours through the tall grasses. Some would point and whisper, while mothers tugged on the arms of their young toddlers to hurry them along. What had brought these strange trainers to wander into their quiet, happy town? “What…are you doing?” A tall blonde man stopped to tap Kevin on the shoulders with an incredulous look. “And why are you acting so weird?” He demanded to know, crossing his arms over his chest and tapping his foot on the ground firmly.
Kevin jumped up and spun around with a bright smile plastered over his face. To find his beloved bugs he had to think like them! Climbing up high into the towering trees to wrap himself up in a nice, sturdy cocoon, or flying low enough to pollinate the small wildflowers that decorated the ground below were par for the course! He’d had his fill of Pokemon that didn’t fit his passion. Even though he loved his Lollie and Esca with all of his heart and soul, they were definitely no Combee or Kakuna. “I heard there were Kakuna around here! Why wouldn’t there be? The famous Bug-loving GYM Leader lives here, right?! I wanted to be one with my bugs so that I can find them! Or…trade for one?” He asked curiously, with a raised eyebrow.
The other guy shook his head and quickly shuffled away. As soon as Leilani approached him, Kevin spun around and jumped up high enough to grab a low hanging branch in the nearby tree. He struggled but eventually managed to lift himself up onto the branch where he sat, wrapping his arms around himself as though he were hugging himself, and crossing his legs firmly over each other. “Ma’am? Do you know where all the Combee and Kakuna are hiding?!” As soon as Leilani produced the Combee that Kevin sought so heavily for the trade, though, he would immediately jump out of the tree and pull out his Pokeball containing Esca, calling her out to show her off. “Yes! Oh, yes! THAT’S A COMBEE FOR SURE! Would you mind trading me?! PLEASE!” He practically demanded, before leading her over to the machine to make it official.
