After what seemed like forever, the peak of the Coronet Mountain edged its way onto the horizon. Basically, Sinnoh's welcome mat. Alexandria had her violin out, and was playing for tips... as a street player might, but slightly more sophisticated music and setting. However, the sight of her destination caused her to quit. She simply gazed at the mountain, which seemed to automatically turn heads in its direction. Alexandria packed up her "station", and headed down to her cabin.
"Finally... How long was this cruise, three days? I just wanted to get to Sinnoh, not random festivities and stops in other regions." Alexandria complained to herself, packing everything she brought back into her bag. She then lay the bag on the ground next to the bed, where Alexandria decided to nap. Even if the region was in sight, it'd still be quite some time before they hit land.
"HMMOOOOT! HMMOOOOT!" Horns blared, waking Alexandria, and presumably every other sleeping passenger. "We have now made land at Canalave City, Sinnoh region. All ashore who's going ashore." An automated female voice announced. Alexandria recognized this cue as "hurry the hell up", and thus she grabbed her bag, and rushed to the unloading station of the ship. The line was incredibly long, apparently many planned to end their voyage in Sinnoh.
While waiting in this long, slow line, Alexandria pulled out her laptop from her messenger bag, and a white Pokéball with a red band. "Volt, if you please." She announced, pressing the Premier Ball's button, making it grow larger. She then loosened her grip, the ball resting in the palm of her hand, then opening. From it spilled a bright white light, which zapped its way to just above the laptop. It took form thereafter, into a strange orange creature, surrounded by its own electricity. "Look up a nice place to stay, s'il vous plaît." Alexandria said, causing the orange Pokémon to retreat inside her laptop. The computer turned orange, matching the shade of the Pokémon that had just been sent out, and began to float just beside Alexandria. An Internet browser opened itself, then a search engine, which looked up several luxurious hotels in and around Canalave City. Most of which were terribly expensive. "Er, if you may, lower the price range." Alexandria said. Even if some of those were affordable to her, she'd have hardly any money left for other hotels, let alone anything else. The laptop snickered, it purposefully brought up such expensive hotels. But, it did obey, and brought up nice, non-millionaire hotels. "Arigatou, Volt... chan." Alexandria said, her way of "politely" pranking Volt back. For Volt hated the suffix "-chan".
That was when Alexandria realized she was walking on solid land. The distraction of so many hotels had caused her to forget where she was going. Yet, she still paid it hardly any mind, she was checking out a nice hotel, in the very area she was currently in (aptly named The Seaside Resort). "Volt, book that one." Alexandria demanded, dropping her usual politeness. There wasn't anyone around, anyways. Several pop-ups came up during the booking, but eventually, it was done. And Alexandria, seeing there was much daylight left to burn, looked around. There was so much to do, with quite a lot of time, but also with a somewhat indecisive mind.
"Okay, then... where to first?" She asked her Rotom-laptop, which once again opened a search engine filled with various results. Alexandria saw the many choices, and sighed. Volt snickered again.
