Raoul laughed. "Well, theres usually one in most places. Great,
lets go then!" He began following Silver down the dock, and into
the main town part of Coren.
"Oh wow," Raoul remarks, his eyebrows raised. "This place is pretty
crowded.... Is it even a black market if so many people know about
it? And what could be so bad that it has to be sold here?" He took
a quick glance at one of the booths, seeming to be selling some
sort of object that looked suspiciously like a pokemon tail...
"Nevermind. I don't want to know."
Raoul followed Silver to a little store in the black market,
wondering what was being sold (hopefully not pokemon organs XD), or
why she was leading him there.
Raoul's eyes widen, as he looked at the assortment (wait, no that
made them sound like objects) , or plethora of tiny pokemon. Some
were still asleep, and some looked recently hatched, with bits of
eggshell covering their fur.
"Theyre so cute!" He turned to Silver, concerned. "They're not
being sold for some bad purpose, I hope?"
"Oh no." she said. "Well... the capture of these pokemon is
strictly forbidden." she tells him. Silver points to a Correnian
riolu. "Look at it, its so cute!"
Raoul nodds, satisfied with Silver's answer, and happy that the
baby pokemon were safe. Raould eyes were drawn to the little Riolu
as Silver answered, and he was absolutely mesmerised. The little
thing looked so adorable, but also strong, like it had lots of
potential. It had lots of cool markings, reminding Raoul of an
ancient civilization he'd read about at home. And Raoul had always
been fond of steel types. "Wow," Raoul admires. "So this type of
Riolu only appears on Coren?"
Raoul looks at the little pokemon for a bit longer, as it plays
with a wooden rod like a staff, and yawns. "That's amazing!" He
exclaims. "So... how might one acquire such a riolu?" Raoul asks.
He really thought that this might be a great first teamate on his
Coren adventures to come, but would be okay if it wasn't possible.
Raoul sighed, but kept a smile. "Ah, that's fine, I don't expect
you to pay. I don't have anything on me right now..." He gestured
to his backpack, empty, save for a few pecha berries. "But I can
save up! I'm staying here for a while after all, and it's not such
a big deal." Raoul thought for a second. "Hey, do you have any
pokemon yet?" He asked Silver, wanting to meet a corenian pokemon
up close.
Raoul squinted, and tilted his head. "Ceremony?" He wondered out
loud. Maybe it was some sort of coming of age thing? Or something
to do with the island, or it's pokemon. Either way, Raoul decided
he's picked an opportune time to come to Coren.
"Oh yeah, when someone has completed there trials." Silver
explains. "They get visited by a legendary of Coren and they are
bonded with their partner."
"A legendary?" Raoul asks, amazed. Xerneas, Yveltal and Zygarder
couldn't just show up to anyone in Kalos! "Why does the legendary
decide to do that? Seems super cool, but also strange. Oh yeah,
what are the legendary pokemon here? What are their spheres of
control?" Raoul pauses. "And trials? What are those?" He looks down
a little sheepishly. "Ah, sorry, I'm probably bombarding you with
too many questions."
"Its fine." Silver says. "If a legendary appears to you, it means
you are worthy. Of something secret. I don't know what." she said.
"Depends, many different legendaries could appear."
