Ethan took a look at his Pokémon. He had a Bulbasaur and a Lillipup, but he wasn’t sure if it as enough to challenge the first gym. His arrogance would like to tell him it was enough, but one thing he loved more than his arrogance was his pride and it would be a shame if his pride would be damaged just because he was too arrogant to get a second Pokémon. Not to mention what he would have to tell both of his brothers if he would fail his very first attempt at winning a badge. No, maybe it was better for him to get another Pokémon, but he didn’t really know what else to catch. He saw a few Pokémon on his way to Jubilife City that might interest him, but he wasn’t sure if he wanted to have them on his team. Maybe a Ghost type would do the trick, but then he would have to have someone on his team who could actually have a good shot at it. He guessed he could try to do the trick with his Bulbasaur. Oh well. He had enough time to figure that one out, he decides as his eyes fell on a hot looking girl. She had white hair and from what he could see a beautiful body. He licked his lips a little and looked at Caspar, who was, as usual, not paying attention to his surroundings. Ethan pocketed his hands and walked towards the girl, an arrogant look on his face. ”Well, well,” he said, a smile forming across his face. ”And here I was thinking this city didn’t have anything to offer to me. I guess I was wrong.” He winked at her, letting her know he was talking about her. Caspar took a quick look at the girl and decided the space behind his trainers legs was the best spot for him to stand.

”Apparently it was you who I was looking for,” Ethan told her with a grin across his face. She was actually the first woman who flirted back to him with the start since his arrival in Sinnoh. He was almost afraid he’d lost his skills, but apparently that wasn’t the case. He caught her checking him out and he did the same, showing it to be no secret that his eyes kept looking at certain parts of her body a few seconds longer. Yes, she was definitely his type and if he could read her words as well as he could back in Johto, he know she was interested as well. She told him her name, a name he would only find important to remember for this day. Tomorrow she would probably mean nothing to him and if he could read her personality, he knew she was the same way. No hard feelings. ”It’s Ethan,” he replied and he winked back at her. ”That’s Caspar. One of the Pokémon who’s going to help me become the Champion.” The tone of his voice was arrogant and his attitude showed that he really thought he could become the Champion on the long run. ”So, Nian…” He stepped a bit closer to her, closing in the distance between them on purpose. ”Can I offer you a drink? I think I saw a pretty good cafe only a few streets ago.”

Een kleine grijns kwam om zijn lippen toen ze moest lachen om zijn grapje. Hij wist niet zeker of ze het allemaal acteerde of dat haar karakter echt zo was, maar ze interesseerde hem zeker wel en het zou niet bij één drankje blijven als het aan hem lag. Ze ging dan ook – zoals hij eigenlijk al wel verwacht had – op zijn voorstel in en de jongen grijnsde naar haar, waarna hij knikte en een redelijk spottende buiging maakte. Haar hand gleed daardoor van zijn borst af, maar Ethan maakte het tien keer goed door deze vast te pakken en haar zachtjes te trekken in de richting van het café dat hij had gezien. ”En waar is deze mooie dame helemaal voor naar Sinnoh gekomen?” vroeg hij met een kleine grijns aan haar. Het was maar een gok dat ze eerst in een andere regio had gezeten en dan naar hier was gekomen. Als ze toch in Sinnoh had gewoond, dan zou ze dat wel aanhalen. Hij liet haar hand los nadat hij haar in de juiste richting had getrokken, maar liep expres dichter bij haar zodat hun handen constant tegen elkaar zouden botsen. Hij krulde zijn vinger wat zodat, als hun handen contact zouden maken, zijn vinger langs de binnenkant van haar handpalm zou strijken. En hij wist uit ervaring hoe lekker dat kon aanvoelen en welk soort eh… gevoelens dat kon opwekken.
