In a small lakefront town called Rabinowitz, a new family called the Rainwoods had just moved in to a house on Floatzel Circle, consisting of a Delphox named Roland, a Meowscarada named Selena and their three children - two sons, a 12-year-old Braixen named Casey and an 11-year-old Floragato named Patricio, and a 10-year-old Shiny Braixen daughter named Sydney. They had moved for a few reasons, the constant worry of hurricanes where they lived previously as well as traffic issues every spring break and winter being among them, but at the top was relocation for Roland's new job as a medical robotics engineer, which paid really well. Barring a sudden death or the economy going to hell, Rabinowitz was going to be their new hometown for the forseeable future.

They had been here for only a few days, and were already on good terms with their neighbors and a few other circle residents who came by to give them a nice welcome and a few gifts. But while they liked their new neighbors, all of them were still adjusting to their new lives in one way or another. And Patricio was certainly having difficulties. While he liked that unlike back in Port Monroe, there was no need to worry every summer and fall of a major hurricane destroying everything he had, he didn't like being away from his friends. He missed them a lot, and although they'd at least be able to stay in touch via phone calls and text messages, the Floragato felt it wasn't the same. What also sucked to him was that dad would now be working weekends, so that meant less time for the two of them to bond. And to a lesser degree, his new room was the coldest in the whole house, Selena making sure to get a few blankets for Patricio the next time she went to the store.

It was a warm, cloudy July afternoon, and Patricio was pacing on the side of a street, exploring his new neighborhood, hoping some fresh air and maybe getting to know another neighborhood kid or two would help him feel better. Starlys and Fletchinders chirped in the trees around him, and their music was a pleasant sound to Patricio's ears, who looks up to wave at a few. Just after he's done, he bumps into a mailbox post, the suddenness of it startling him. Fortunately, the black velcro shoe covering his right foot saves him from any pain, and the Floragato is able to go right back to his walk.

As he went around a bend, a voice caught his attention.

"Hey there!"

Patricio looks to where he heard it come from, that being the driveway of a house just a few steps ahead. He puts on a friendly smile and waves back at the Pokemon, deciding to try and get to know him/her better...
