"Excuse me, coming through," Xander politely spoke while trying to get through the crowd departing from the ship. "Oh! Sorry about that! Xerneas bless you, sir. Excuse me."

Finally, Xander stepped out of the mass of people, a little battered but not any worse for wear. From the docks, he took one last glance towards the ship that carried from Kalos all the way out to Johto. It was a costly trip for both funds and time, but he believed it was worth it. The devout planned on spreading the word of Xerneas in order to gain more followers for the magnificent Stag of Life. He decided it would be best to travel to regions where the name of Xerneas was not as common as it was in Kalos, which brought him far from home.

Xander left the port of Olivine City and found himself walking the unfamiliar streets. He took a glance about the city while traveling, his staff lightly tapping against the concrete ground. Much to his good fortune, one of the posters he came across was a city map for tourists to find their way. He took a short stop by the map, scanning through it quickly to find his destination. There was the Pokémon Center and a few hotels he could go to to rest for the rest of the day.

All thought of rest left Xander's mind when he spotted a cafe only a few blocks away from where he was. His stomach grumbled loudly as the young devout smiled to himself. The ship he traveled on did have food for everyone to eat, but they were lacking in the sweets department. He rubbed his stomach gently, thinking about the funnel cake and other desserts Johto had to offer. With his destination in mind, he dashed away, heading towards the cafe to grab a bite to eat.

"Umm... Excuse me sir-," The young mystic gently said as she tried to flag down a pedestrian,
but by the time the words reached her lips, he was gone. "I seem to have lost my sist-."

Her sentence trailed off, as she realized the lack of a conversation partner made her look quite foolish. Not only a few days after arrival in her hometown, Padparadscha had become separated from her older sister. Perhaps she left without her? After all, they did plan to leave in the afternoon.

"Where could she be?" Paddy wondered, very concerned for her sister Sapphire as the two were very rarely apart for this long. At a lack of options, she decided her time be best spent relaxed. No point in getting flustered, as Sapphire is sure to come once she meditates. Across the street, her eyes met a quaint little cafe she thought would provide a calm atmosphere to scry.

"Briiing-Ring!" the sweet gentle ringing came from a small little Pokémon hovering over her shoulder that squealed in delight at the cafe's delicious smelling pastries.

Paddy giggled, taking her friend in her arms, she and Whisper made their way to the small coffee shop. Moving through a crowd of tourists, she was about to reach the cafe doors until she was pushed to the ground lost among the foot-traffic. After a few moments had passed, the image was clear in her head.

"Oh look out!" she cried after the dust had settled.

Xander made his way around a corner, taking a sniff of the fresh air. His stomach growled as he took in the smell of the delicious pastries and the brewed coffee coming up ahead. He stopped in his tracks for just a moment, rubbing his stomach in anticipation of his upcoming stop.

While Xander was daydreaming, a pack of tourists came from behind, and nearly pushed him down on the ground. If it was not for his tight grip on his staff, which was firmly planted on the ground, he would have fallen over. The devout sighed to himself, wondering whatever happened to people being polite. He followed the back of the crowd, only because they were heading in the same direction.

Nearing the cafe, Xander swore he heard something hit the ground. He stopped in his tracks, deciding to trust his ears. Unlike his nose, which was always distracted by appetizing food, they kept him alert to his surroundings. When the tourists finally dispersed and continued on their way, he found that a strange woman had indeed fallen.

Xander approached her carefully, checking to see if she was injured in anyway. His duties as a devout came before any desserts at a cafe. Her warning surprised him, with the young man quickly looking over his shoulder for another crowd of travelers. He sighed in relief, seeing no one, and turned back to the stranger with a gentle smile.

”I believe that was the last of the tourists,” Xander calmly told her, holding his hand out to her. ”Do you need any assistance? Are you hurt or injured at all?”

As vivid as her vision was, it was also fleeting. Just as soon as the stranger spoke to her, she was brought back into reality, relieved that her vision did not come true. Looking down at her lap, she was glad to see that her companion did not receive any scratches or bruises. Only a soft "br-bring?" came from the wind chime Pokémon. Taking the young man's hand, she smiled, dusting off her skirt.

"I'm glad to see that you weren't knocked over," Paddy began, I've been searching for my older sister all afternoon, but to no avail. I simply can't concentrate with so much foot traffic."

Whisper peered out from behind Paddy's shoulder inspecting the young gentleman closely. Hovering around him, she wrapped her tail playfully around his face. "Bring!"

Despite the rude and intrusive behavior displayed by her Pokémon, Paddy only sat in silence. Until after a few moments, she sprang outwards to the wind chime.

"Oh dear! Please be careful! Whisper is very mischievous."

Despite the strange delay in her response, she was genuine in her delivery, causing many pedestrians to stop and raise an eyebrow at the display.

Xander helped her from the ground once she gave him his hand, reassured that she was uninjured. He smiled at her when she was relieved that he did not fall over. Perhaps she was more concerned for the safety of others than herself, a trait he shared with her as well.

Although Xander did not need to heal her, she was still in need of help. She was lost from her sister, and in a city this big, finding her would be a hassle. He wondered what she meant by concentration though. It could be possible that maybe the crowds were distracting to her. It was his duty as a devout to Xerneas to help all in need, and the stranger needed help.

”Perhaps I can help you find your sister,” Xander offered kindly. ”I may be new to the city, but-”

Xander let out a light gasp when the stranger’s Pokémon wrapped her tail around him. He took a few steps back, keeping one hand on his staff while the other moved towards her Pokémon. He was gentle in trying to get it to leave, only trying to nudge it away. He raised an eyebrow at the stranger’s warning. He could have sworn it took him longer to deal with her Pokémon. Or was she waiting until he was not distracted to tell him.

”It’s quite fine,” Xander assured her. ”By the way, my name is Xander, if you want my help at all.”

Padparadscha sat in silence for a moment or so before responding.

"Oh! Your name was just spoken to me! You are known by many as, Xander, and your offering your assistance in locating my sister."

After dusting off her skirt, she held her hand out to Whisper as the gentle Pokémon swayed through the breeze into her embrace.

"I am known as Padparadscha, it's a pleasure to make your acquaintance. May I suggest we find a more private location? I simply cannot concentrate amongst all of these tourists."

She offered to take Xander to a secluded garden she knew quite well in the outskirts of Olivine City. Taking extra care to not overwhelm her newly met companion. While she described the various Grass-Type Pokémon that made their homes there, she pondered on the question as to why Xander had visited this city, to begin with.

"I beg your pardon Xander, I don't mean to intrude, but I am curious as to why you have decided to visit Olivine City. Despite our motto, "A city where you can hear the melody of the sea," we very seldom receive tourists. Have you perhaps come to challenge our Gym Leader Jasmine?"

Xander nodded silently in agreement towards her statement, slightly confused by her behavior. It was as if she was predicting everything he told her as if she heard it elsewhere instead of from him. Even though it was a strange encounter, Xander thought nothing more about it. For all he knew, this was how the people of Johto acted, and it would be quite rude of him to point it out.

”Yes, it is good that we have met, Padparadscha,” Xander responded, taking the time to patiently listen to her description of where they wanted to meet. ”That sounds like a wonderful place to talk and somewhere my Pokémon would enjoy. Please, do lead the way. I wish to see this garden myself.”

While following after Padparadscha, Xander thought how best to answer her question. His mission in Johto was to spread the wonderful word of Xerneas. He hoped to convert more people to follow the Pokémon of Life, but he did not wish to overload her with so much information just yet. Such a talk would be better had off the streets, such as the garden. Still, there was nothing stopping him from answering her, just as long as he kept himself in check.

”I am more of a missionary than I am a tourist or trainer,” Xander explained carefully. ”You’ll find that my team is not best suited for gym battles, and although I do enjoy seeing the sights, my purpose in Johto is to tell others of the power of Xerneas. That is why I have come so far from my home in Kalos to travel here.”

After a moment's pause, she stopped in her tracks. An empty husk, she spoke after a few seconds of silence.

"Oh my!" Padparadscha began, I have heard that you embark here on a noble quest to spread the gospel of a religion known as "Zur-knee-us"! How exciting!"

She clutched her hands tightly, pressing them against her chest in excitement. Before Xander had a chance to respond, they had reached the wonderful garden that she had mentioned to him.

Flocks of Butterfree nested in the great maple tree that stood in the center of the garden, providing shelter to a great many other Pokémon. Ledyba and Heracross playfully wrestled over the tree's delicious sap that seeped through the brittle bark, as Furret chased each other through mulberry bushes along the garden's walls. Wooper and Poliwag splashed each other in a small pond, while Sunflora bathed in the sunlight. From Marill to Chikorita, this heavenly garden was teeming with wildlife which could be confusing as to how this location could lend for any more concentration amidst the frequent cries of Pokémon.

Padparadscha patted the head of a wild Chikorita as she walked to the base of the maple tree, and rested beneath it. The creature cautiously approached, until it was sure there was no danger and playfully leaped into the young girl's lap. Taking a deep breath, Padparadscha began to concentrate.

Xander raised an eyebrow at her remark, thinking to himself on the way she acted. He was starting to realize that when she spoke, it was in the past tense of events that had already happened. It seemed strange to him, but then again, he was the foreigner to Johto. Perhaps such a dialect was common in these lands while he was the strange one. Exploring the world was offering all sorts of insights to the young devout, who thought it was best to stay silent with his findings.

When they finally arrived in the grove, Xander looked on in awe at the sights. There was an assortment of Pokémon, ranging from ones he had seen back in Kalos to new sights, such as one Padparadscha rested with under a maple tree. The devout always felt close to nature and decided to share this groove with some of his companions. He pulled out two Poké Balls from his robes to release Spewpa and Skiddo in front of him.

”Padparadscha, these are my two of my companions from Kalos, Spewpa and Skiddo,” Xander introduced his Pokémon.

Immediately, Spewpa took notice of the bigger Pokémon, and became frightened. She skittered off towards Xander, climbing and wrapping herself around the wooden staff he carried. Skiddo chased after one of the Furrets scurrying away, intending to race around the grove and take in the sights. Xander made his way to the maple tree and sat down next to Padparadscha. The devout noted that she seemed to be concentrating but marked it down as a peaceful meditation.
