Dawn walked through the town of Nosus in her cerulean dress with her curly wave of hair tied back in a tie dyed head band and sandals on her feet she strolled dreamily through the streets with her Vaporeon, Aurelia, at her side. Strolling the streets trying to find the famous flower shop that was reportedly located in this town.
Looking down at Aurelia she smiled broadly. “You don’t know where it might be? Can you sniff the store out for us, I seem to have gotten us lost.” Blushing she put her one hand behind her head and laughed just like someone who has had rigorous voice training can out of her stomach so much so that most people around her turned to look at the source of the commotion.
Aurelia hanged her head in shame. “Vapoooo.” She let out a drawled out squeal and put her head up breathing in the heady smells emanating from the floral town. Quickly though she picked up the scent of Cheri berry blossoms. She ran off into the direction of the intoxicating scent.
Dawn ran after her live long friend. “Wait up you crazy Pokémon.” Staying short on her heels delivered proper results, they stood outside a brightly coloured store. Through the windows she saw the berry blossoms blooming in the pots. Holly will love these she thought as she entered the store. “Good morning!” She grinned broadly as she stepped through the door.

Anne had been working at the flower shop that morning. Her friend, the owner, had called her earlier the morning and asked her to come in. Apparently she was feeling ill. Anne didn't really mind working there; the flowers and bright colours made it worth her while. Her beautifly was sitting on her teased bunch of hair, and sniffing on a yellow sunflower that she had used as a decoration.
"You enjoying that deary?" she asked as she tried to look up without moving her head. The rest of her attire was fitting to the flower shop. A long, white, knitted dress with orange and red flowers on it was draped over her body. Of course she was barefoot underneath it all. How was she supposed to feel nature between her toes through shoes? As she walked to the window to spray water on some flower arrangements, she saw a lady in blue making her way to the store. Next to her was a Vapereon, sniffing the air.
Anne knew she recognised the face but she couldn't really place her. After a few moments of thinking she remembered seeing her at the Annual Unova Gym Leader Meetings. "Good morning," the lady said after the bell on the door clung cheerfully.
"Good morning!" Anne replied with a scarily broad smile, revealing once again that she had lipstick on her teeth. "How can I help you today? Some cherry berry blossoms perhaps? Or maybe you too might be interested in a sunflower arrangement," she offered politely as Beautifly looked up from the sunflower he was sniffing on Anne's head and grinned cutely.

“I would really like some cheri berry blossoms, they are for a friend who loves them. How are you on this wondrous Friday morning by the way? Almost forgetting my manners.” Dawn grinned broadly at the funny looking woman. Slowly but surely the puzzle pieces fitted together in Dawn’s head… Crazily bright clothes, horrible make-up, positive demeanour, bug on the head. OMG “Anne Webb?”
Her vaporeon’s ears pitched up at the mention of the name. “You’re Anne Webb aren’t you? The Nosus gym leader. I remember seeing you at last month’s gym leader meeting.” Grinning broadly at Anne she held out a gloved hand. “I myself don’t like bug Pokémon but they do have a certain beauty about them.” She tried to up play her dislike for the bug variety, being creepd out as a child by her brother with his caterpie scarred her.
“Do you own this flower shop?” Looking around at the gigantic assortment of floral bouquets.

Anne walked towards the Cheri Berry Blossom display as the kind lady continued talking. She stopped working when she heard her name. "Do you know me or are you just really good at this game?" she asked in surprise. When she heard the words "gym leader meeting," she instantly understood. Unfortunately Anne couldn't remember her at all. Her memory was horrible, and because of her short attention span, she never remembered names. "Oh yes..." she said and tried to buy some thinking time. "You are the water gym leader aren't you?" she stated the obvious. The blue dress and vapereon gave that away. "Uhm... Alice? Annette? Agatha? Sorry, your name seems to have slipped my mind," she said and blushed.
"Oh yes bug pokemon are beautiful," Anne replied without catching on to Dawn's dislike at all. "They are so colourful and ensure us of a healthy world, what's not to love?" she added and continued arranging some Cheri Berry Blossoms for her customer. "Today you get a free vase with every purchase. It's a promotional thing."
"This store? Oh no! My friend Rose owns this store. But apparently she's having horrible diarrhea and asked me to come in today." Needless to say that Anne wasn't to adept at handling social situations. She didn't know where the boundaries of acceptable small talk were. "Sounds like a lucky friend," Anne commented as she handed the lady the vase. "Is it her birthday?"

“I’m Dawn.” Noticing the woman’s lack of concentration. Although she always did seem spaced out at all the meetings. Dawn picked up Aurelia dangled in mid air her tail looking like a prize catch. “I love water pokemon.” Dawn was luckily dozing off into the exotic smells too much so that she didn’t hear anything other than the store belonging to a woman called Rose.
“Oh no my friend is just a very good person and I’d like to let her know it by giving her her favourite flowers.” Dawn grinned. She really liked this woman with the beautifly on top of her head. The entire image of Anne was quite appealing in the flower shop setting.
“I was wondering, have you had any challengers recently?” She tried to bring up the fact that she hasn’t had more than 2 challengers in her gym for the past 3 weeks. “I think trainers are avoiding Virga and going through the other set of gym containing towns.” She looked down at Vaporeon her eyes swelling with tears. They are supposed to have a quota of badges given out, if they don’t reach it the gyms could be up for forclosure.

"DAWN! That's right, I knew it was something with a D," Anne said and smiled kindly. "Oh that's sweet of you. Buying flowers just to brighten up someone's day. How lovely," she commented as she walked to behind the counter, ringing up the purchase. "Oh yes. Those fish are quite lovely... Especially the ones that aren't too slimy. They're wonderful pokemon," she told Dawn. She thought that she had to say something nice about her type choice, seeing as Dawn did the same.
"Challengers... Actually no. I think my last one was a week ago. And before that... I can't even remember. I keep myself busy at the Butterfly sanctuary. Caught myself a lovely butterfree there the other day. It is quite a sad story, the lack of trainers... They shouldn't close our gyms up. What else do we have to live off of?" she asked in shock. Her mind raced about everything and the nothingness that had happened the past few weeks. "Well... I met a young trainer the other day... We had a friendly battle. Maybe he and his friends could stir up a new era?"
Anne's head lifted up and it looked like she grew two inches as the beautifly on her head flew off, circled her head twice and landed on the vapereon. He stuck his little tongue out and licked Vapereon twice, and grinned widely. "I think he likes your Vapereon," Anne said softly without paying much attention. She was too flabbergasted by the news she had just received.
