Gym Leader Norman is talking to a man and woman who look about his age! 

A slightly-nervous-looking girl is standing behind them. She glances Lucy's way as she walks in, and her face brightens a bit.

Potential friend spotted!

"Hi! I'm Lucy!"

Oh! Yay, she's friendly! Her face perks up, and her body language loosens a bit. "Nice to meet you! I'm Saph."

Then she glances down at the pokeball at Lucy's belt and makes an O: face.

Slightly louder: "Hi Dad!" 

"Lucy!" The gym leader briefly breaks off from the other adults to hug his daughter. 

Woah, Leader Norman is Lucy's dad? Cool... Maybe she should ask about what that's like, later.

(She finds herself shuffling behind Aunt Rachel without really thinking about it.)

"Lucy, this is Rachel and Kai, and their niece Sapphire. They were hoping I would help Sapphire get her first pokemon." 

"Oh, cool! And...Petalburg doesn't have a Professor in residence, or anything, so that makes sense."

The woman smiles at her. "It's nice to meet you, Lucy! It looks like you're a Trainer already - what kinds of Pokemon are you interested in?"

"I just moved here from Johto! I have a chikorita so far."

"Oh! Welcome to Hoenn. How are you finding it here?" 

Chikorita... Chikorita... her head tilts in thought.

Saph doesn't think she's heard of chikorita. Another question to ask, once it's her turn to talk again.

"It's neat! We don't really have wurmple in Johto."

No wurmples? Huh.

She glances around, and when Aunt Rachel doesn't immediately respond, she pipes up.

"What kinds of bugs do you have instead?"

"Oh, loads of weedle. Spinarak. Caterpie."

She's never heard of those! She can ask later, though.

"Do you miss them?" 

"Hmm. Not yet."

Oh, right, Lucy said she just moved to Hoenn. Maybe because her dad's a gym leader here?

Ok, what was she going to ask...  "What kind of Pokemon is chikorita?" 

"Chikorita is the popular grass-type starter in the Johto region!"

"Oh, cool! Ours is... treecko, I think?" (She glances at her uncle, who gives her a thumbs up) 

"Treeko, torchic, and mudkip," Norman confirms. 

Oh, right, there is a Real Life Gym Leader in the room! 

Saph shoots uncertain glances at everyone present, train of thought derailed.

...Oh, the poor girl's overwhelmed again.

She reaches over and squeezes her niece's arm. (Saph visibly relaxes at the contact.)

"Leader Norman, would now be a good time to have Sapphire here catch her first pokemon?"
