Thread: Legends of Unova (Hypersonic and Roxas)

"Well...if we can see those buildings from here, then the people in those buildings can probably see the bridge," Naoki said, "So I guess it would be a nice view...as long as you didn't look straight down."

"True," Rogue said. Although she didn't see the purpose of the conversation she tried her best to appear interested.

"Well, I guess that's enough chit-chat," Naoki said as he gently scratched his left arm, "We really need to get there before nightfall." He started walking at a slightly faster pace, attempting to strike a balance between stamina consumption and increased distance coverage.

Rogue matched Naoki's pace and looked at the sunset, which had turned the sky to a brilliant orange. The stars were beginning to appear now, but the two trainers were almost at the end of the bridge.

"It's pretty," Rogue said as she watched the sun make its descent downward.

"It sure is," Naoki smiled. While he was looking at the sunset, he ended up tripping and falling flat on the ground.

"....ugh."

"You all right?" Rogue was quickly by his side, holding out her hand to help him up.

"Y-yeah," Naoki said as he reached for his hat, which had landed on the ground next to him. With his free hand, he grabbed Rogue's hand.

Rogue pulled Naoki up to his feet and tried not to giggle. "Didn't know you were such a klutz."

"Nor did I," Naoki replied, brushing a little bit of dust from his shoulder.

"Maybe we should focus on getting to Castelia more than sight-seeing. Don't want too many... unfortunate incidents happening," Rogue giggled, "Not like it'll be that difficult." They were near the end of the bridge. After that, it was just a gatehouse and the two trainers would be in the large, bustling city.

"I'm honestly a little nervous," Naoki said as they approached the end of the bridge.

"I guess I am too. I'm sure what to expect," Rogue said as they passed through the gatehouse. A few more steps and they were in Castelia. Skyscrapers loomed above them with nearly all their lights on as the night had begun. Waves gently hitting the nearby piers could be heard, along with the chatter of people who still wandered the streets. A small crowd had gathered at a pier to watch a young boy train a Milotic that was out in the water. As the last rays of sunlight were fading, Rogue realized how overwhelmed she felt.

"Uh... You wanna walk around for a bit or call it a night?" She asked Naoki.

"Well...aren't cities known for their so-called 'night life'?" Naoki asked in response, "Why not experience some of that before we turn in? But of course, if you're not feeling up to it tonight...I can understand."

Rogue thought for a moment before replying, "I could actually go for ice cream right now..." she seemed to trail off.

"I...think I remember hearing about this place being famous for ice-cream, actually," Naoki said.
