The handshake was brisk and brief. "It's good to meet you, although you don't have to change your companion's name on my account." Araceli frowned a little. "That reminds me..." The woman let out a high pitched whistle, and from the sky a figure swooped down low, landing on small feet. She recognized the blue and red spotted figure as a Togekiss, and hearing the name - Asteria - she couldn't help but grin.

"Oh, a Togekiss! They are said to share blessings with those that avoid needless strife. That's a good Pokemon to have - very good luck! She looks very well taken care of too, which I'm glad to see." Only now Araceli was walking into the building. Small talk wasn't her strong point, eh?

"You mentioned coworkers and people you could contact. Were you a Devon employee? I don't know much about the company itself, save that they made devices like the Pokenav." Enja let out a small laugh.

"No, not quite. I am the lead engineer for the Slateport City branch of Innoventions Inc. We did work with Devon on several occasions, as well as other larger companies." She still say "am" because, as far as she knew, the branch wasn't truly dead as long as the data was around. "Devon did invent the Pokenav, but they also made strides in Dream World technology and several variations of Pokeballs. They even started a way to talk with Pokemon, which our company then took over when they switched to developing yet another Pokeball." She felt some glass break under her boots, but ignored it as the safety-regulation grade soles shrugged it off. Even after six years, they still were nearly brand new. "I have reason to believe the main HQ of Innoventions Inc. is still operational, and if I can contact my big boss, maybe I can find out more. We always were prepared..."

After all, who had enough fuel to power a giant generator for several months? Her branch did, even when the rest of Slateport went dark. If they had been that prepared - on HQ's orders no less - there was no doubt the main base was even more prepared. But, if they had fallen in such an isolated city...No, no, no. There is always hope, and somewhere there is a city that is alive and well, orderly even! And if worst came to worst, she could always return to her homeland. Her parents were still alive, she knew that much.
