"Papa? What's wrong with me?
Noah had a grin plastered to his face as he breathed in the fresh air of Lotali City. Though it was a large city and all, its green technological advances kept the air fairly clean. Noah traversed down a rather empty sidewalk beside the streets of the city, eyes roaming from person to person as they passed. Harmony, the boy's Snivy, sat on his shoulder and rested her head against his, the small grass snake Pokemon quite comfortable there.
Noah stopped by his father's ice cream parlor; the Vanilluxe Ice Cream Parlour, known for the best ice cream in the region (and quite possibly the world!) Noah sat on a bench just outside the ice cream shop, taking a mouthful of his delicious ice cream before letting Harmony have, the cold dair treat making her small body shiver once, though she loved the flavor. She dropped into the crook of his free arm and he smiled, snuggling her close with one hand and holding the dessert with the other. She eventually reperched on his shoulder, watching him eat his ice cream.

Koru hummed as he walked down the road. Why was he here again? Oh right...ice cream! Of course that would be the reason the male was not at his post like he should be. Well the gym trainers there kept most of the people out of battleing him anyway...and he was just a call away.
The blonde looked over at the ice cream parlor, it was so pretty! Well...it wasn't really that pretty but just the memory of the ice cream here was wonderful! It had been nearly a year since he'd last been here. Of course then he was just a trainer, so he could do and go where he wanted. Now of course that wasn't the case.
"Ice Cream time!" the male said with a grin as he went towards the little parlor, passing by some trainers with their Pokemon, a man with his Snivy, and an old lady on his way to the front of the parlor. Of course, he was quick to notice that most of the people near here had ice cream with them...he really wanted some now!

"Nothings wrong with you, Noah. Your just... different."
Noah watched the other male pass with an enthusiastic grin. Noah smiled softly; his father's ice cream did that to people. Noah was proud to be his son. And his mother's son, which brought up another idea. He took off his backpack and rummaged through it...
He was known to do this quite often, but whether he did this to entertain or to practice usually lost most people. Assembling his flute, he tested it at his lips before adjusting and tuning it; ready now. He began to play a small improvised jig, anything he could think of put into a rhythm.
And with his musical knowledge, the resulting sound was actually quite good. He managed to gather a few onlookers as the thirteen year old played his flute as if he was professional.

Koru had his ice cream in hand when he heard someone playing the flute. Of course who wouldn't at least stop to see? The male smiled as he licked his ice cream to see the boy with the Snivy, not much younger then himself in fact, playing the flute, quite well actually. Its not like he'd know though, since he couldn't play the flute...in fact he couldn't play any musical instrument...well at least. He knew a little bit of the violin but that was it.
The blonde male clapped at the little performance, looking at the boy and his Snivy. "That was pretty," the male said...being a little forward. That's who he was though, its something you learned to do after traveling long enough.
The males eyes traveled to the Snivy and back on the boy. 'So he's a Pokemon trainer...by the look of it a newer trainer...' he thought to himself. He always liked meeting new trainers. It gave him something to do instead of sitting back at the Battle Arena waiting for a worthy challenger who could make it passed the arena trainers.

I can handle myself though... please?Noah looked up as he finished and smiled softly. "Thank you," he said quietly. Noah disassembled his flute and packed it away before standing, extending a hand to the other male.
"I'm Noah," he said. "My dad," pointing over his shoulder,"owns the ice cream place. I play out here a lot."

Koru watched as the boy put his flute away. The boy said he was the son of the ice cream shop owner. The boy grinned at that,"That must be nice." It was true...ice cream is good...but this ice cream is like heaven.
The male watched as the younger stretched out his hand to shake. The blonde of course complied and gripped the other males hand and shook it...nothing fancy, nothing creepy...normal. The boy grinned, "Nice to meet you Noah, they call me Koru." The boy looked at the small creature,"And its nice to meet you little one," he said addressing the small creature as well.

No. That's final, Noah.Noah smiled softly and nodded. "It's good to meet you too, Koru," he said rathe enthusiastically, dropping his hand to his side after shaking his hand. Harmony looked up at Koru as she was adressed and smiled, nodding softly.
"So, Koru. You a Pokemon trainer?" Noah asked. He obviously couldn't tell who Koru was.

Koru tilted his head at the boy. "Yes I am," he said with a smile. The boy hadn't been addressed like a normal trainer in a while...though this was probably because he hadn't left his home town in a while where everyone knew who he was...this little thing just seemed to cheer him up a little.
The boy looked at the Snivy, then back to the boy. "So how long have you two been partners?" the boy asked curiously. In his opinion they seemed close...but because the Pokemon was still in its first stage it was either that they were newer to battling...or the Snivy just didn't want to evolve. The boy looked to his right, she was around here somewhere...probably just watching them talk.
She hadn't revealed herself yet, that was a good sign...he didn't want her to scare the poor boy. It was probably good that he was a boy...she had an issue with girls talking to Koru. The boy smiled and looked back at the boy...or more up because despite being older he was shorter then Noah.

You understand I'm still leaving.Noah smiled softly as Harmony was mentioned. She hopped into his arms and held herself there against his chest. "Mm... 3 weeks now?" Noah said, scratching his head. "...yeah, I'm pretty sure it's been almost a month."
Noah looked up at Koru again as he spoke. "So, how long've you been a trainer?" He was a tad envious of Koru, really. Noah's dad was struggling to let him go anywhere.

Koru smiled as the boy told him the amount of time the two had been together. As expected he was a newer trainer, though it wasn't a bad thing. The boy tilted his head as he was asked how long he had been a trainer.
The blonde male tilted his head to the side,"How long have I been a trainer...I think its been about two years now since I first left on my journey..." the boy said nonchalantly. The boy smiled at the taller, yet younger male.
A pair of hands and eyes appeared behind the taller male. She just wanted to have a little fun. Maybe a little tap tap tap on his shoulder before vanishing again. The little creature just wanted to have some fun after all. It gave that little mischievous laugh that ghost Pokemon seem to enjoy as it let its ghostly hands move towards the taller boy, intent on scaring him.

Yes. Yes I do. "Gahh!" Noah screamed as the ghost type gave a eery laugh. He nearly jumped out of his skin and literally jumped in the air, mind freezing for half a second. His heart beat frantically.
And of course, his handicap kicked in. His weak heart tried to keep up with the frantics beats and gave out for a moment, forcing him to gasp for air as he stumbled. He leaned against the bench and breathed in rather erratically, hands on his heart.
After a few minutes of even Harmony being shocked by his fit, he slowly calmed and let go of his chest. "Oh... oh my god..." he whispered. "Please, don't ever do that to me... I have a very weak heart."

Koru tilted his head as the boy freaked out. A look of concern on his face started when the boy started to breath more heavily then one would expect, clutching his chest...was he having a heart attack? The boy tried putting his hand on the younger males shoulder...only really made possible by him leaning against the bench. "Hey you okay?" he asked, a small trace of panic in his voice.
After a few minutes the boy seemed to be better...something about a weak heart. The blonde turned to look at the Banette that had scared the boy. "Oh Void...don't scare the poor boy to death!" he said yelling a little, sighing. The creature didn't really mean it after all. "Now apologize Void..." the boy said.
The Pokemon turned towards the boy, patting him on the shoulder...repeating what most Pokemon do...their name. It seemed to be apologetically though. The blonde looked at the boy,"Sorry about her..." he said lightly.

Noah allowed his breath to even out a little before speaking again. "I-it's find," he managed to say, looking at Void. He smiled a little. "It's okay. It's not your fault that you didn't know." He turned back to the blonde.
"Tis' fine... I didn't expect her to just randomly appear. But neither did I tell you of my weak heart, so one balances out the other." Harmony had scrambled up to Noah's shoulder again to make sure he was okay. She smiled softly and closed her eyes as she leaped into his arms. Noah held her close.
"You interested in trying something... different? Im currently working on a bunch of stuff back in the dessert kitchen of the ice cream Parlour if you wanna try some stuff."

The little Pokemon smiled mischeviously as the boy accepted her appology, vanishing like a puff of smoke and reappearing next to Koru. The creature floated by the blondes right shoulder as the taller male kept on talking.
The blonde tilted his head, a lopsided smile gracing his lips. One would assume the boy would respectfully answer with a yes please or a no thank you of some sort. This is of course not what happened.
The blonde turned quickly and excitedly to look at his Pokemon. "Did you hear that Void!" The boy was visibly excited, so much so he was kind of bouncing on his heals. Anyone who viewed the spectacle would probably assume the boy as twelve instead of sixteen. The blonde turned back to Noah, pretty much drooling at the prospect. I'd take that as a yes.

Noah smirked and led Koru back into the Parlour, a few people looking up and giving hello's. Noah simply smiled ad went back to the kitchen, putting a rag on his shoulder just in case. ...in case something like this happened.
"Ahh, Melody! I told you not to touch that!" he groaned as he found his Solosis shivering and covered in a blue-ish ice cream. He sighed and wiped her off, allowing the small Pokemon to cuddle into his chest. He allowed her to stay there as he grabbed a bowl for Koru. "So... any flavor you'd like to try? If you can think it, I can make it."
