Soft clanks of a pair of boots and hooves hit the ground of Postwick as a young trainer and a black Wooloo exited its train station. Yawning a bit as she shakes her head to wake up, looking down at her partner. ”How was your sleep?” Wooooooo!!! Wooloo skips around its trainer. Looking around, the town seems peaceful, smiling a bit as she sees herds of Wooloos in the distance. Katrina yawned again, shaking her head again as they walked down, taking her phone out to look at the town's map. ”Let's see…..The Pokemon Research Facility should be down the road when we make a left….they should just shorten this to P.R.F., Willow. That was a damn mouthful to say.” She scolded, maybe she was used to Johto doing it a lot. Wooloo just tilted its head before skipping ahead of her. Excited to meet MORE strangers in lab coats? Me too buddy. Surely they heard of the rumors or this trip will already suck.”Peering up from her phone, she spotted the building, trudging faster as she followed her partner closer to the building. Professor Elm said he called Sonia up about her arrival. Hopefully.
Taking a deep breath as she stood in front of the doors, swinging them open as she called out. ”I'm looking for Professor Sonia!” Various heads swirl over to her direction, an assistant playing with his glasses walks towards her. “Um, Professor Sonia is with someone right now--” “Buddy. I’m sure she gets lots of appointments, but I just need her for 10 whole seconds, okay? Willow stay here, please.” Moving past him, she walks over to Sonia’s office, peeking in the window to see her talking to a young man with albino hair and magenta eyes, holding a strange rock. Well then. Knocking on the door, she calls out to the two. “Sorry to interrupt, but I came from Professor Elm's research facility. Did he actually call you or did he want to embarrass me.” Scrambling can be heard as she finishes whatever convo she was having with the other person before opening the door. Smiling, she moves to the side to let the boy go through. The two teenagers glances at each other before one heads out and the other heads in an office. “Make sure to keep me updated with your findings, October!” She waved, shutting the door.
“Professor Elm told me about you, Katrina right? Welcome to Galar, I hope you're enjoying it so far.” She smiles as she goes to her desk, pulling out papers that Katrina assumes its reports. Sitting down on a spare chair, Katrina grips her hoodie as she stares at the older woman. “Well….as 10 minutes so far in...I guess? I'm sure I'll form an actual opinion about the region as I go about, but what I’m here for are the supposed rumors about Suicune and other legendaries.” Sonia smiled, a straight to the point researcher this kid is. Sliding some papers towards Katrina.
“Yes, we received a few reports of hearing strange pokemon sounds and silhouettes in the Crown Tundra.” Flipping a few pages showing blurry photographs. "Though because of the constant snowing and blizzards and how faraway these were, we can't exactly make out all of them.” Taking a sip of her coffee as she lets the kid look over it. Katrina scans through the uninteresting ones before her eyes lands on a particular silhouette, slamming her hand down on it before Sonia can turn the page. “That’s Suicune..” Almost a bit too awed seeing a blurry photo, but she knows those exact ribbon and body shape anyway. After all these years, a real clue to finding it. Sonia twirls her hair, watching her. “Hm, well I'm not well versed with Johto’s legends, but since you are, I trust your judgement on it more.” The young researcher looks up, leaning on the desk. “Where exactly is the Crown Tundra?”

“Way down the south of Galar.”
Excuse me?
“The south…?” Katrina blink, confused by it. Why would Suicune ever go to the SOUTH. That doesn't make sense with it’s legends! Cut the bullshit. Deadass. “I see...then that's where I'll be heading. Thank you, Ms. Sonia.”[ /font] Getting up to leave, she did not mind hearing Sonia choke on something, till she felt her wrist being tug over the desk.
“Whoa whoa-- You can't just go over there. It’s usually open for experienced trainers and researchers only. I know that you're into finding Suicune, but you're still a beginner trainer and researcher.” Leaning back, letting go of the younger girl’s wrist. “Besides, you're training to collect research on shiny Pokemon, correct? Why not explore Galar and collect data on that first? Do a smaller goal before leaping on a huge one!”
Katrina frowned more, being told she can't go over there. She wasn't going to alone, she would have a guide and her partner. And this might be her only chance to see it again after so long. Who knows how long it will stay there??? ‘But….’ Biting her lip, as much as she wanted to argue, to prove her wrong, that she's capable. That she can handle any obstacle for her end goal….she's right in the end. Closing her eyes and taking a relaxing breath to calm her anger, she looks back at the orange-haired professor.
“....Alright, I will. For you and Professor Elm.”
Later in the evening....
Katrina flash her ticket before boarding the train, sitting down at an empty seat as Wooloo hop on next to her. Clutching her rather large bag that Sonia kindly pack for her for her next stop: The Wild Area. Saying it's a massive place where many trainers and researchers can gain new knowledge and experience. Scrolling her phone to look at the bizzarre weather it has, Katrina sigh. As much as she knows this is the right path to take on her quest, she cannot help, but feel a bit upset. She spent her whole life looking for it and why was it those colors on that day and now? She has to wait even longer to reunite with Suicune, 'What are the odds it's the same one, Kitty....' Feeling a nudge, she looks down to Wooloo, seeing her partner filled with concern. "It's a shame, but we'll just have to let the wind carry us."
Maybe luck will be on her side this time.
