Moving On

It was a nice and sunny morning but a dark cloud seemed to loom over Sofie's head. She had no more family and she still couldn't bring forth the courage to join the guild. So far she's been nothing but a big disappointment and that wasn't something to be proud of. Sofie had set off for the pecha forest, thinking that something sweet might cheer her up, but somehow she's ended up at the pond.
"I might as well rest here for a bit while I'm at it..." she mumbled to herself. It was pretty quiet around here for a pond usually brimming with young pokemon. It was actually quite the relief. It was so good of a relief that she fell asleep right at the water's edge.

Enzu was walking along the water when he noticed a Sofie asleep by the water. He walked over, to her and planned to suggest that she move, it usually wasn't a good idea to simply sit by the water.

Sofie wasn't much of a good sleeper. She was as good at staying in one position as she was at keeping her temper contained around bad pokemon. Well, her bad habits were still there as they usually were and she began to roll over Enzu in her sleep. What she was dreaming, only she would know.

As soon as Enzu got close to Sofie she rolled over on top of him, even though he was knocked under her he tried to be polite, "Um... excuse me, could you get off of me please?" he asked.

Sofie was still fast asleep and caught up in her fascinating dream. She turned and shifted around some more, seemingly unable to notice when she was lying on something a little too sharp and pointy.

Since Sofie didn't move Enzu started to poke him with his blades, "Excuse me, could you move please," he said as he poked her.

At the tiny jabs, Sofie jumped up and let out a small amount of electricity which surged through her soft coat. Almost immediately, she noticed what she had rolled onto wasn't the pointy blades of grass but a pawniard instead.
"Oh, oh no! I apologize, I seemed to have-" She had began her apology, but before she could finish, she slipped right into the water. Sofie didn't exactly favor being in water since she was an electric type, and it meant she would be wet for hours since her thick fluff would take ages to dry. So with a little squeal, she hopped right out and shook as much water off as she could, not taking note that it might get all over the stranger she had squashed.

"Don't worry its fine," Enzu said as he got up off of the ground, "I was actually coming over to suggest that you move because its usually not a good idea to rest so close to the waters edge." he said.

"I see," she replied," so anyway, hello and nice to meet you! I'm Sofia, but I go by the nickname Soft. How about you?" Nothing better than giving a nice friendly introduction to spark up a nice conversation.

"It's nice to meet you Soft," Enzu said, "My name's Enzu, I run the dojo here in town."

"A dojo? I didn't know there was a dojo in town. So um...what do you do at the dojo?" she questioned. Sofia really had no idea what a dojo was or what it was for. It sounded interesting and she wanted to find out.

"Well I offer personal trainer services, where I work with you so that you can better any of the skills you want to work on. Or, if you have somebody you want a practice match with then you can come and use my field for practice." he explained.

"Huh? Why bother going to a training field when you could simply go out into an uncivilized area to battle to your heart's content? I mean, that's what I would do." she questioned him once more.

"Well this way your battle can be official," Enzu said, "Plus I usually judge the matches so I can make sure that nobody is injured too badly, and I can intervene if necessary." he said.

"Oh, I see. Well that makes sense," she said,"maybe I'll stop by sometime." It sounded like a legit reason to go there instead of a random spot in the woods.
