The oldest town in Sinnoh, it houses the Celestic Ruins as well as the house of the Sinnoh Pokemon League Champion.

Temporal Facility staff have been seen walking in and out of the ruins, but other then that, no significant activity by them has been spotted.

Narisa lay halfway up the small cliff next to the ruins, resting on her belly on a small, grassy ledge. She was about as hidden as she could be, considering that there weren't any trees to perch in. She was waiting for the most recent visitor from out of town to exit the ruins, though what she'd do when they did she wasn't certain. She would have been behind the shrine and completely hidden from the ruins point of view, if it weren't for the fact that the villagers would then have both noticed and been able to reach her. Not the most favorable position.

Wonder if they actually have a reason for being here. You'd think so, she thought, absently picking apart a piece of grass in her hand.

Narisa watched as the stranger left the ruins, what might have been a drawing tucked under his arm. After waiting a few moments she almost jumped down to follow him -- At least for a little while, she told herself. Just to see where he's going.-- but stopped, halfway up. One of the townspeople, one she'd noticed before that smelled almost like a trainer, was heading for the ruins. In short, towards her and the stranger. If he saw her and shouted, she'd barely make it out of town, let alone go unnoticed by the one she wanted to follow.

She shrank down, her lips curling in annoyance. Now how's this going to work? She thought. I'll have to wait until the guys almost out of town and the other's right below me before I can move. And then I'll have to be quick, and hope he has slow reflexes. Slowly, she got into a low-down crouch, ready to bolt, and watched the two people carefully.

Narisa stared.

...That guy just teleported. Wow. She now hesitated yet again. What did she want to do? Teleportation just screamed to be investigated, but she'd been ready to follow.... on the other hand, different strangers had come before this one. Surely there would be more, other days. Her mind halfway made up she sat up on the ledge, the white ruff of fur around her neck and crimson eyes clearly visable. If the guy noticed her and didn't immediatly start shouting, she'd take it as safe enough and jump down to get a closer look at him.

Narisa raised an eyebrow. Not what I was expecting, but okay, she thought, slightly amused. "Narisa," she replied. "You?"

"Okay, then." Narisa looked around quickly, but not seeing any other people within sight she leapt down from the ledge and walked over. She moved into the shelter of the shrine and leaned down to study him closely, but didn't say anything.

Narisa straightened, taking in the tail silently, realizing she might have been a bit intimidating. She frowned, not quite sure how to ask about him about the teleportation without frightening him off.

Figures-- I got myself into a stupid situation without even an idea what to do. Hope the town doesn't get more active while I'm here.

Narisa blinked blankly.

"....What?"

"Oh. You phrased that oddly, at first..." Narisa said, wondering why he was acting so shy.

"Hmm.... okay..." If he's a hybrid, that's probably how he teleported. "No need to say sorry." She moved closer to the shrine, looking out nervously at the visible half of town.

Narisa held up her clawed hands. "I'm not going to stop you." She looked regretfully to where she'd last seen the stranger. Well, there went that chance. Now I'll have to wait... She shook the thought from her head.

"What are you even going to do there?"

"Ah..." Narisa said quietly. "Could I come with?" After all, there's not much else to do until someone else comes along, she thought.

"...Uhm.... sure...?" Narisa was baffled -- she only understood half of what he'd asked. Scientists?

((I have to go. Bye!))

(Okay.)

Narisa raised one feathery white eyebrow as, after yet again looking around for any humans, she followed. He's a strange one, alright.

Narisa shrugged. The wonder they'd held when she was young had long since faded. "I dunno. Couldn't read 'em if I tried..."
