Finally at Rustboro

Rustboro, another place for Castien to travel to in his trip around the Hoenn Region to potentially become a Breeder like his dream was. Vulpix was happily following, looking up at Castien occasionally to see if the boy was still there and following the path when suddenly the city rose up in front of them like a Pokemon from the grass. Vulpix squeaked in joy and bolted toward the city, getting further ahead than she should have but staying in easy sight of Castien. Castien laughed and ran after the rambunctious Pokemon.

As the Vulpix and Castien ran around, the feminine male Hana and his trusty Persian happened to have been walking within their line of sight. Hana was dressed in a bright yellow, elegant, sun dress, complete with parasol and silky gloves, although his feet, which were clad in female hiking boots, were concealed by the long, almost Victorian-Style Dress he was wearing. Hana elegantly twirled the parasol around in his hands and masterfully plastered a demure, lady-like smile on his feminine face, his long, knee-length, light blue/silvery hair blowing in the wind as he walked. He was softly, and affectionately, petting the soft fur of his precious Persian.

Castien ran around laughing until Vulpix ran up to a Persian and started playfully yapping and growling at the bigger Pokemon. Maybe Vulpix wanted to level up or something and eventually be a Ninetails so she could be as beautiful as Persian. Castian looked at the trainer with the other Pokemon and had to look a few times to see it was a guy not a girl. "Hi, I'm Castien and this is my friend Vulpix." Castien's facial expression was one of wary curiosity and amazement at the sheer insanity of someone walking around looking like a girl when they were male.

The Persian let out a menacing hiss of it's name as it glared down in an intimidating manner at the annoying Vulpix. Hana let out a very well-practiced feminine giggle, even doing the female gesture of placing the back of his hand over his mouth as he chuckled. Hana was wondering what the facial expression Castien was directing at him for, but he brushed it off by offering the male trainer a well-practiced curtsey as he introduced. "Hello there Mr. Trainer. I am Hana Zakari, and this is my Persian Karei. It is a pleasure to meet you" Hana said to Castien in a distinctly female, high-class manner, being the picture-perfect essence of demure, polite, and lady-like as he continued to affectionately stroke the fur of his Persian.

Castien watched as Vulpix moved back away from the Persian with a little fear in her body language. She was only trying to play and the bigger Pokemon had growled at her even though she had done nothing wrong. Castien picked up the Vulpix protectively and looked back at Hana with a little less interest. Either this guy was just plain crazy or really did believe he was a girl for being able to act so feminine just now. "You look female but there's something off about you that I can't place for sure. Are you sure you're not a guy?"
