[ Luna stands near a wooden podium. Iki Town. Surrounded by tribal statues, friendly faces, and...oddly shaped creatures flying about, remnicent of seagulls, and ferrets. With a small fidget, she absorbs in the scenery for what can only be the first time. Slightly...nervous? Who wouldn't be? A whole life, spent in Kanto to just drop everything and move to Alola. She doesn't know anyone here, or anything-- not even the climate is familiar. The wind is soft and warm, though.
In fact, it's the serene graze of the wind that pulls Luna's attention to another young girl, making her way into the forest with a strange, moving bag. The kahuna? Who is that? Where is she going? Luna follows the strange girl into the brush and through the thick corners of the surrounding jungle to find...
...find what, exactly?
A tiny, floating cloud. It's bizarre, and...the curiosity is piqued, certainly. With baby-like movements, it crawls across the bridge, adgitating the local angry bird population. Three birds swarm down on the little creature, and the girl spins around with some moral dilemma in her eyes, etched into the features of her face. She's...she's scared. Luna's heart races-- a...a problem. She needs help? Is there time to get an adult?
It takes some going for the stranger to make a request. Save Nebby. .. What's a Nebby? Her mouth opens to answer, but it's little cries echo sadly from it's place in the middle of the bridge. It's afraid.
Before she even knows what's happening, heart racing, Luna presses her feet into the bridge, rushing as fast as she could safely to get to the little creature, and when she arrives, she just hunkers down and uses her body as a shield. Luna's arm wraps softly around the little being. It's...it's warm. Like a warm cloud. Soft to the touch and warm. Against her back, the talons of angry Spearow dig into the fabric of her clothing, and she crumples a bit more. How much longer would they be angry? What upset them at all? It hurts-- the slashes against her back burn in the background of her mind, and she only holds the little creature closer.
Suddenly, a blinding flash of light, and the bridge?
Gone. Collapses like it were made of toothpicks, and the pair fall between the cliffs, straight for the jagged rocks surrounding the water. Her hair waves in every which way, her eyes can't take in the surroundings this fast. It's scary. It's Frightening. But...nothing matters more than making sure that this little friend is safe. She holds them tightly. This could be it, maybe. Over before it even started.
It isn't until after she hears the shrill, loud cry, that she feels the world...flip. She's not falling down anymore-- she's falling up, and cradling her protectively is...some sort of weird looking yellow bird. It makes a strange sound, sets her down next to the blonde haired girl, and...dives upwards, into the sky. The air feels static-- like her hair's going to curl upwards.
She sucks in a breath she didn't realize her body needed, and starts to stand. In...incredible. That was amazing-- and the energy pulsates through her body. She wants to see them again. Adventure.
i. baby steps.
