Hello, Smash Academy… My goodness, it's quite chilly here… I truly was not expecting this much snow! It is not nearly as cold in Celadon.

But no matter. Cold as it may be, we shall persevere. Please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Erika. I am the Leader of the Celadon Gym in Kanto… I do hope you are not growing weary of us, seeing how many of my peers have arrived before me… The winter months in Celadon leave one desiring more, as it is not a popular time for trainers to travel. I have heard that this school has much to offer, and I hope you'd allow me to teach you the beauty that can be found in the world's flora.

…You could also say I am somewhat concerned about a few things. I hope I will not be an intrusion to my fellow gym leaders.

Would someone be so kind as to show me the way to your green house?

Also, thank you for dropping by my room when I was having keyboard problems. Sorry, if I scared you.

Well, I make sure to cover the basics as a requirement. I'm certain there the overlaps would be at a minimal. After all, you have an entire year to discuss botany.Ah, it makes me feel a tad envious... Currently we are on environments and how they affect Earth's fauna and flora.

That's correct. I am from the planet Hocotate. I appear human for a majority of the time while I'm at school, but I'm really from another galaxy. Is that peculiar?

You're welcome, Miss Erika.

Pikmin are a unique half-animal, half-plant species. They function best in large groups and come in a variety of colors. I discovered their nesting grounds when I first came to this planet.

Currently I watch over the Pikmin that attend Smash Academy.

Hello, Mac. Thank you, I am becoming more and more confident that I shall enjoy my stay here.

Oh, that's quite alright! I believe Mr. Olimar will be able to show me its location. Thank you for thinking of it, at least.

[Erika used Perception! Is that a Jigglypuff over there on the internet?]

Goodness, another one all the way from Johto? It's very nice to meet you, Mikapii! Celadon is a bit smaller than you might be used to in Goldenrod, but it is still a lovely place to visit if you ever get the chance.

[natureprincess]

... I will have to meet my class before I can say we'll raise some or not... But we can certainly look at them. Would you be interested in the course?

[natureprincess]

New Bark Town... Ah, another Johto resident! It is nice to meet you, Gold. Perhaps I shall see you in Celadon one day.

That's a wonderful spirit to have, Gold. Thank you for your kindness. Have you gotten far in your journey?

[natureprincess]

Would you be so kind as to show me the way?

[givemeyouranswerdo]

Hello, I'm here to make friends with every female gym leader.

I can show you the way no problem! I'm Daisy, by the way!

[natureprincess]

[Oh no Erika is now faced with conflicting emotions. On one hand, she is a Ponyta, therefore automatically harboring Erika's general dislike and indifference. On the other hand, she only seems to be sweet and nice. What if it's a trap. No, that would be silly. Why couldn't she have been a flying type or something? Erika stared at the comments for a while before she made any reply.]

[natureprincess]

Oh, was that you? I'm glad to see that you're alright.

I certainly hope we do not disappoint your expectations. We gym leaders might be a bit over glorified at times, I think...

It is rather exciting to see the snow. I have not seen this much very often at all! Yet I find myself quickly desiring a spring, haha.

[natureprincess]

That'd be very kind of you, thank you! It is a pleasure to meet you, Daisy. That is a lovely name.

[givemeyouranswerdo]

Thanks! I certainly like it!

So, do you want me to show you around now or later?

[tattlemethis]

You're really pretty... Nice to meet you, Erika! I'm Goombella!

[babylonmechanic]

Hey, Erika, I'm Wave.

You know, I'm wondering. With so many Kanto gym leaders coming here, who's running the gyms?

And then she kidnapped them.

[natureprincess]

... Forgive me if I am being too forward, but may I ask to be able to meet the rest of them?

[natureprincess]

I suppose it would make sense that his whole team was here...

No, we work at two very different gyms. If we are both thinking of the same Blastoise, then he would be at Green's gym in Viridian City.

Hnnn... MORE Pokemon trainers? Wow.

Hello, Miss Erika. My name is Knuckles - It looks like plenty of folks can show you where the greenhouse is, or I'd offer too, haha! I hope you like it. A lot of people have planted stuff in there, and it was built by us students after the war last year. Just keep an eye out for the Piranha plants... they're nippy.

[natureprincess]

Oh no, please don't think that! I apologize. I... simply was not expecting to see meet you here. ...Or anywhere at all, to be honest.

[natureprincess]

I am sure there are things for prettier than me, but thank you. It is a pleasure to meet you as well, Goombella!

[natureprincess]

It is nice to meet you, Wave.

That is a valid question. While I cannot speak for my peers, I can at least assure you that I will still be running Celadon Gym though I have taken a position here. It is not unusual for a gym to have a set schedule.

[natureprincess]

We come in droves, it seems.

The offer is appreciated just the same, Knuckles. Thank you kindly. Ah, it sounds lovely. I am greatly looking forward to seeing it. Thank you for the tip. I'll keep my eye on them, but I am sure we won't be having any problems.

[natureprincess]

Whenever it would be most convenient for you would be wonderful.

[mareonfire.livejournal.com]

Yup, that was me. It was interesting to hear from Daisy why humans wore clothes. Although I feel kind of weird wearing them, I don't want to be impolite to anybody by taking them all off. In any case, they do help keep me warm a little better so I don't have to rely on my flames. I wouldn't want to burn anything on accident.

And, you don't disappoint me at all! You're the first gym leader I've met, and a very pretty one at that. I hope I can learn a lot from you! You're going to teach about plants, right? Granny Bethel owned a garden back at the day care and I loved to look and smell her flowers. I always try to avoid stepping on flowers when I can. It's really sad to see them get stepped on....

Oh. Just wanted to know how he was doin' if that's where you were from.

Alright then, I guess. I'm Max, Orange Star's direct combat specialist. I'm also football captain, too. Nice to meet you. I got a slowpoke but I ain't a trainer or nothin' he just likes me is all.
