sent on a school trip, and intending to bond and mingle with students from another region, you and a selected few of your peers set off for the region of kitakami!

as you approach the small town of mossui through the gravel path, you catch the eye of a troublesome lady.

she turns on her heels, as if expecting your arrival. she steps closer stopping you in your tracks. her voice comes out firm with an annunciated tone, she won’t be misheard.

"So...you're one of those students who came from the Paldea region, huh?"

the second she spoke a shorter boy tries in vain to speak up, judging his appearance he is evidently cut from the same cloth genetically, though not socially. siblings.

"Hush, Kieran."

she murmured over him through gritted teeth, giving the boy a name. not that it matters, this is her conversation.

"I'm Carmine. Sorry, but I can't just let an outsider like you wander into Mossui Town. If you insist on coming in, you'll have to battle me first."
