LILITH BELLEROSE !!
It was early morning when the trio set off from Port City towards New Pallet. Although summer was really only beginning Lilith found herself boiling pretty quickly under the sun in her all black attire. The tall woman had made this walk hundreds if not thousands of times prior. Sometimes running errands, sometimes as a body guard for hire. The only difference this time was her two new companions who followed along in their own way. Ignis the Houndour trotted a few feet ahead of the woman, nose pointed forward and sharp eyes ever seeing. From the way he held his body, it was obvious he was on edge. Vesper the Noibat rested dutifully on Lilith's head, small purple hands grasping the odd horn-like headpiece.
After receiving the two from The Ambassador, Lilith had headed home. She was lucky she only lived about a mile from the building and was greeted with much enthusiasm. The walk home had been slow, Lilith feared her lifelong companion, now an aging Growlithe, would resent her new choice in pokemon. He seemed standoffish at first, but was quickly play wrestling the Houndour the moment Lilith turned her back. Her mother had talked her into staying the night and Lilith happily obliged, still not overly confident in her ability to simply go back to living on her own after a year's hiatus from most of the world.
The following morning however was filled with excitement. Lilith had spent the evening getting to know her two new pokemon, finding herself thrilled with their different personalities. Vesper seemed more than happy to be babied by the woman, moving her head subtly under her trainer's pale hands for a petting every time she could. It was obvious by Ignis' willingness to play wrestle with anyone who looked his way, that he'd be the main attacker of the team.
Now that Lilith had crossed into New Pallet, the doubt slowly crept in. She tried to keep Ms. Nguyen's words in her head. Something had been heard in the forests around the small settlement. The reports had been coming in for weeks and despite the woman's best efforts, she found herself heading towards the sounds. Lilith spent the early hours of the morning asking around about what exactly had been seen or heard in the forests to the west. All she managed to find out was second hand information.
Before leaving the safety of New Pallet, Lilith bought herself some food and stowed it away for later. Whatever was happening in the woods, she planned to find out. It was the least she could do for the The Ambassador after her rather generous gift of a Noibat and Houndour.
The thick trees quickly covered the sky, leaving only the occasional sun ray to sneak through the thick foliage. It was apparent that the forest was pretty untouched, save for the outskirts used as a lumber. As the three trekked along, the sound of their feet crushing the underbrush was the only human made sound. The calls of pokemon could be heard echoing playfully in the high up branches. If not for her self appointed mission Lilith would take a moment to enjoy the serenity.
Vesper's tensing on her head brought Lilith back. She glanced down at Ignis, the fur on the back of his neck standing on edge. His black nose twitched quickly as he inhaled the scents of the forest. Lilith's eyes scanned the horizon, seeing nothing past the thick trunks of the surrounding trees. Vesper chirped, her eyes following Ignis' rapid head movement to the left. "What is it Ignis?" Lilith asked, having stopped walking herself and focusing her attention on whatever was out there.

- Just a side note, although I keep referencing The Ambassador and heading into the forest to find whatever it is causing the noises, this is just a general catching/training thread. I just wanted Lilith to have a reason to go there.
