After waking up early before the sun even came out, Dave had packed everything he wanted to take with him. He grabbed his backpack and stuffed it full of whatever the hell he decided to grab, and things he might need or just felt like taking with him. He took all the money he had been saving up, plus the money he found laying out for him on the table in the kitchen. He grabbed Seppukrow's pokeball and a slice of pizza left over from last night for breakfast, and he was out the door.

After a an hour or two riding a bus, he was in line waiting to board the ship to Kanto. Truthfully, Dave couldn't be more excited to being finally getting out of his apartment for one of the first times since he went to elementary school for a week. Mind him, it wasn't his fault he got kicked out. Another story for another time though.

Dave moved towards the front of the ship, pulling out his pokemon's ball, releasing the small bird. Seppukrow took this opportunity to spread his wings, flying up to glide with a few on the wingulls flying above the ship. Dave watched his pokemon for a while, eventually turning to look forward towards the ocean, leaning forward onto the railing on the edge of the ship.

After a few hours, the boat was finally pulling into port around mid-day in Kanto, and Dave was waking up from his spot on a bench. Seppukrow was nested happily beside him in sleep. Dave stretched his legs and picked up his Pokemon, quickly gathering himself and his things together. He filed off the ship with the rest of the passengers, stretching out his arms as his pokemon moved to perch on his shoulder. He tried his best to stop from cracking a smile at the thought of finally being here.

"Just like a home away from home. Albeit one filled with loud tourists..."

It was a bit...overwhelming really, being on that boat. Way too many people in such a small space was screwing with her head, she'd be much happier when this is over.

Despite waking up much earlier than she normally did, Terezi was a bit late getting to the port in Opelucid City, managing to miss the first boat out of there and having to take a much smaller boat to get to Vermillion City.

Terezi, despite being very excited to start her journey, was anxiously clutching onto Pyralspite's pokeball, hoping that she'll be able to find her way through this mess of people to begin her journey. She shouldered her backpack after releasing Pyralspite from his pokeball and began to carefully make her way through the throngs of people after the boat made port in Vermillion.

"Okay Pyralspite, let's do this-" sadly her encoraging speech to her Deino was cut short as he ran headlong into what she could only describe as a wall of red.

"Oh! I'm sorry! I'm a little disoriented...." This is why Terezi hated traveling, it always took her a bit to assess her surroundings and not crash into things. "I hope I didn't hurt you or anything.."

Dave was about to start walking when something effectively plowed into him from behind, making him stumble and catch himself on his hands, shoving himself back up as if he was doing a push-up, catching himself on his feet. Seppukrow had flown off his shoulder in a flurry, flapping and squawking around in the air. Dave willed the pokemon back into his arms, turning to stare at the offender, a Deino. He looked up at the girl talking to him, staring at the troll. Why in the world was she wearing those glasses, those things were tacky far beyond a level of irony.
"Huh? No no, it's cool. No damage done. Though I don't think letting Sir charge-alot loose in a crowd of people who are mostly helpless tourists is a good idea."

[purplemajesties]

"His name's Pyralspite, though I guess Sir Charge-A-Lot is also accurate..." Terezi was a cackling mess. Not even five minutes into meeting this new person and she already liked the guy. He smells delicious. So much red. >:] She grinned in his direction (or at least close to it) and attempted to stealthily locate Pyralspite. Though it's really not all that stealthy and just looks like she's waving her arm around haphazardly until it lands on her pokemon's head.

"We'll have to pay better attention to where we're going, I didn't realize it was this crowded here...I'm Terezi by the way! Terezi Pyrope."
