I'm not lost! I'm in Route 29. Maybe Cyndaquil will be my friend. What was THAT?! (1/3) Challenge accepted! (5/15) I'll never stop moving forward! (3/3)

All in all, Route 29 was a rather pleasant walk. Sure, there were some Pokemon around, but none that posed much of a threat, and the way the breeze blew through the trees and grass gave the place a quaint, serene feeling. Several times, Chayse found himself closing his eyes and just breathing it all in, and Cyndaquil seemed just as relaxed as it curled up in the hood of Chayse's sweatshirt. It wasn't long before he started to see the path widen up and buildings appear in the distance, and he knew that he was approaching Cherrygrove City - that was, if the signs posted around were any indication. "Come on Cyndaquil - let's go get something to eat," he said with a poke behind him to rouse the dozing Pokemon. He was curious to see what kind of food they had in town, and he had never been to a Pokemon Center before. There were a lot of new things he had yet to experience, and they were all waiting for him on the road ahead. [Exit to Cherrygrove City]

Del and Cynder had walked together down the road heading into New Bark Town, the boy smiling like a fool and talking to the little fire mouse. "And the trees are huge! But they aren't like these trees, they are more like palm trees. It makes the skies seem a bit more open. Oh! And you can always smell the ocean!" He threw his arms out wide as he spoke before letting them drop with a happy, thoughtful sigh. "I think you would like it... Its nice and warm." Cynder looked up at him and made a soft cooing noise in agreement. "Quil! Cynda, cyndaquil!"
Del and Cynder continued down the road, Cynder running out ahead a little bit. Laughing, Del watched as the little fire mouse climbed up ontop of a small boulder, stomping its foot as if claiming itself king of the mountain. At least, until the boulder moved. Cynder cried out as the rock suddenly shot up out of the ground, throwing the little Cyndaquil off and sending it tumbling back. "Ah! Cynder! Are you okay!?" He called, running up to the pokemon as the 'boulder' rose and turned to glare at them, revealing it was actually a pokemon.
"GEODUDE!" The angry rock type pokemon bellowed out, smashing its fists together in a challenge. Cynder got back to his feet, shaking his head. "Quil! The flames on his back sprouted fiercely, smoke puffing from his nostrils as he got ready to fight. "Alright Cynder! Let's do this! Use Tackle!" He commanded Cynder to attack the angry Geodude, pointing at it.
"Cyndaquil!" The fire mouse launched itself at the Geodude, his head slamming into the rock pokemon, connecting hard and sending the rock type back to crash onto the ground, knocked out. Cyndaquil landing and rubbing its head, as if surprised that it was able to do that. "Oh wow! Way to go Cynder!!" He congratulated his partner, then gasped, searching his bag for a pokeball. "Wah! Let's catch it!! I bet it could be a good addition to our team!" He pulled a pokeball out of his bag and threw it, the ball hitting and bouncing back against the wild pokemon, opening and sucking it into the ball.
Both Del and Cynder watched with anticipation as the ball landed, the middle button flashing red as it wiggled. "Did we... did we catch it?" The ball wiggled a few more moments and then.... "DING!" The ball stilled and the button went white! The pokemon had been successfully captured! Del stood there, his jaw slack as he processed what had just happened. He had just successfully battled and captured his very first pokemon...His eyes widened and a grin spread across his face. He leapt in joy, running up and scooping Cynder into his arms as he hugged him and spun. "We did it Cynder!! Geodude's part of our team now!!!" He exclaimed happily. He put Cynder back down and the both of them ran up to the ball, Cynder dancing around happily as Del reach down, picking it up. Grinning ear to ear still, he put the ball in the very front of his backpack, a small zipper he had decided would house the pokeballs that had pokemon in them. "This is awesome! C'mon Cynder! We need to keep going! Who knows what else we might run into!" Cynder nodded in agreement and the pair took off running down the road.

He was still pumped from his capture of his newest team member, a Geodude, and was walking with a light skip in his step, Cynder still out and waddling along happily beside him. He held onto the Geodude's Pokeball, looking at it with a goofy grin as he thought outloud, looking down to Cynder for his input. "I think we should give him a nickname, what do you think Cynder?" The little fire mouse looked up, smiling broadly at his trainer and nodded his head, "Quil!" Del laughed softly, encouraged by his partner's enthusiasm. "Alright, let's see... Geo? No... Dudeman... No, that just sounds silly... Edge... No... Hmm...." He thought about it for a long while as he walked, then, finally he stopped, snapping his fingers as a name came to his mind, "Edo! What do you think Cynder?!" He looked down to see his partner's reaction, and the Pokemon stopped, tapped its chin, and then nodded his agreement. Del beamed, "Alright then, Edo it is! Man, I hope Edo likes being our partner. I'll have to let him battle the next Pokemon we come up against, that way he can get some experience too, right Cynder?" He put the Pokeball away in the outside pocket of his bag, so he could reach it easily, and continued to walk, chatting away with his Cyndaquil during the walk. He paused though, as he came upon a roadsign, arrows pointing down a few different paths on which way to take. He tapped his chin, thinking. "Hmm... We could go there to New Bark Town... Or take this one to Cherrygrove City... Wow, even Dark Cave.... There's also a train stop here... Hmm... I wonder where we should go to next..." While he studied the sign, Cynder gave a yawn. Del looked down at the little Pokemon and smiled, bending down to pet his head. "Alright Cynder, how about this way then." He pointed down the route to Cherrygrove City, and Cynder happily followed along.

Leaving the lab, Trey was already tapping at the pokedex, curiously investigating what, exactly, it had to offer. “You realize that by not getting a pokemon, you’re leaving yourself vulnerable, right?” He looked up at JR for his remark, but just stared silently in response. The older man rolled his eyes. “I don’t exactly have any pokemon with me, either. I need to get Wesley back from the Day Care,” he stated, frowning. Honestly, he was surprised the people hadn’t called him to tell him to come get the pokemon, yet. He assumed by now that the Wigglytuff would have staged an uprising, or at least taken over the fields. Or maybe he’d already taken over and had the workers tied up in a closet somewhere….
“… It’s fine,” Trey muttered, looking back down at the pokedex. He wasn’t worried.

He maybe ought to have been, however, as, while the two started walking towards the edge of the town, a sentret scuttled into their path, looking oddly angry, and ready for battle. Suddenly, it lunged at them, and Trey, eyebrows shooting up, quickly turned perpendicular to the pokemon to dodge. Jer did the same, expression much less responsive, staring with a distinct lack of amusement at the pokemon. Trey paused, then, as the attack stopped, suddenly reached over, and promptly hurled Jeraldo at the pokemon. Caught off guard, the supposed ninja thief promptly tripped over his own feet, and nearly fell face first. He whipped around, glaring back at the teen. “What the hell am I supposed to do!?” he snapped. Trey gestured at the pokemon, eyes round as he raised his shoulders in an indicative shrug. “You’re the ninja,” he added, unhelpfully.
JR narrowed one eye and stared at him, but leaped back as the sentret suddenly lunged at him. “Just get rid of it!” Trey called, suddenly much further back than he should have been able to get in the second Jer looked away. He gave the kid a sharp look, before pulling out his whip. “What do you want me to do, punt it?” he shouted in return, moving back, fully prepared to kick the thing (reluctantly) if he needed. Luckily he got enough distance he was able to release the whip into the air, then crack it down to wrap around the pokemon, and toss it off to the side, back into the grass. ”Screeeee!!!” It’s defiant yell of vengeance was quickly muffled as it landed somewhere off in the distance, and both men relaxed.
“See…. that’s why you want to have a pokemon,” Resf stated, giving Trey an unamused look as the apathetic teen came back over.

Trey shrugged his shoulders, before turning his head at more rustling. Another pokemon emerged, but this one was drastically different. A little fox pokemon with gorgeous silver fur, small stature, and a bamboo cone-collar about its neck, its eyes appearing shut, though perhaps they were simply squinting, as it seemed to look up to Trevor. “Oh great, not another one,” JR muttered, grabbing his whip and preparing to unwind it. “Nah, don’t worry,” Trey muttered, moving over and crouching down to lift a hand and pet the little pokemon, “This one’s been following me a while.” Resf paused, looking at the younger man like he thought that might have been worth mentioning sooner, but put his whip away. Trey gently pet the fox, who’s fur was a little dirty, like it'd been rolling in some mud a while ago. “You decide whether you wanna travel with me or not?” he asked it. The fox gave a soft, gekkering sound, and reached up with its paws, wrapping them around his wrist, gently, as his hand slid down to rest on the side of its face. He smiled, pulling out one of the pokeballs he’d brought with him, and gently tapping it to the pokemon’s collar. The gekkit was absorbed inside, and the ball barely even twitched in Trey’s hand, before it dinged.
JR watched from a distance, eying the scene. As Trevor straightened, he folded his arms over his chest. “So… is that why you didn’t get a starter?”

Trey didn’t answer. Instead, he placed the pokeball at his waist, and just started walking. Resf raised his eyebrows and his gaze, before he turned and followed. The kid sure played “mute” well. He also played deaf pretty well, too. He placed his hands in his pockets and walked along, taking advantage of a pause in Trey’s walk to step up beside him, stopping to eye the pokemon in their way. Trey pulled the pokeball off his waist, then tossed it in the air, releasing the little fox pokemon, who gave a soft coo at his opponent. He appeared sitting, but got to all fours, lifting her tail and bowing his head down, ready and giving a yip to say as much. Trey smiled slightly, but promptly handed JR his pokedex, the pokemon’s attack information already pulled up on it. The older man rolled his eyes, but looked it over, and raised his attention. “Use Tackle,” he instructed the pokemon, who promptly obeyed. Not a moment’s hesitation—or confusion. You’d think a pokemon would be perplexed why it’s trainer wasn’t the one giving the instructions….
Nevertheless, the little fox tackled the hoothoot and it fled in a tizzy, apparently already taken out of commission by the young kit. The fox turned and walked back towards Trey, sitting down and looking patiently up at him. "Huh, well.... she seems to at least know how to battle--" JR remarked absently, eying the pokemon as Trey leaned down to pick it up. "He," he corrected simply, pulling the fox into his arms, and adjusting him. "Hm?" The teen reached over and tapped the pokedex, before returning to the task of trying to hold the pokemon comfortably. "I's a he," he explained in a mutter. JR looked at him, then the pokemon, then the pokedex. ".... Huh."

Trey turned and headed back towards the town, well aware of the frown JR gave him, but not bothering with a glance back. He was still moving Cherish in his arms; the cone made it a bit difficult to get the pokemon comfortable, without it digging into his body or arm. The pokemon wasn't holding perfectly still, either; he kept moving to try and climb onto Trevor's shoulder or some such, but there was no way to manage the balance. Eventually, the teen gave up, and tried slinging him back over his shoulder, legging him hang, but again, the cone messed up his center of balance.
".... You're doubling back," JR observed, eventually lengthening his stride and catching up to fall into pace beside him, "So where, exactly, are we going?""Hoenn," came the wary Irish teen's reply. Honestly, he already sounded tired of talking, and he'd hardly said anything. Jer gave him a close side look, as Trey tried to balance his gekkit, and not get hit in the face with the cone, or the pokemon's paws, which kept lifting to press against his face or try and hold onto his hands for balance (or to play, it was hard to tell which). ".... Why?"

Trey shot him a disapproving side look, but didn't respond. Clearly, he thought the answer was obvious, and though it was, and JR knew it already, he went with his own act and rolled his eyes in a "moment of realization." Really, the whole thing was more sarcastic than it needed to be. "Right, right, your contests," he mused, as they headed back into the town to find the train station, "Y'know, you'd progress a lot faster with gyms." Another disapproving look-- the kid really didn't talk much. Not even to him, and he'd dare say, he'd probably conversed with the teen more than most lately.
Trey brought his attention back to the Gekkit, who was laid up on his chest, his little paws stretched back over his shoulder, head rubbing against the teen's beanie and body pressed to his cheek. "Yer a bit manky, y'know..." he muttered to the pokemon, who drew back to give him a quizzical look, and a questioning hip. He sighed and tried adjusting him again, turning him and resting him over his shoulder. This was such a process...

As Trevor fidgeted with getting the cone to not dig into his shoulder, Cherish continued to wiggle a bit. He couldn't tell if the pokemon was trying to help, or make things more difficult, but suddenly, like pieces sliding into place, the pokemon managed to hook its cone over his arm, restricting it a bit, but catching it so he wouldn't fall back, and reducing the digging discomfort it had been causing into the flat of the teen's shoulder. It was... a better set up, at least, and the pokemon was still able to cling to to his shoulder with its paws under the cone, and push off his back with its hindquarters to maintain some balance. He didn't mind too much, and evened out his walk as he lowered his hands, and tested the pokemon's balance.
They headed over to the train station, with Cherish remaining on Trevor's shoulder the whole time, in his little awkward, but workable pose. As they waited for the train, however, the fox began looking around, his ears perking curiously. It seemed like something was catching his attention, but when Trey looked, he didn't see anything. His attention was redirected as the train showed up, but when he moved forward, Cherish suddenly fell from his shoulder. Initially, he thought the pokemon had lost his balance with the sudden movement-- but he realized it had been intentional after a brief reflection, when the pokemon's head had drawn back into its collar to change its weight distribution, and its paws had pulled back.
Cherish turned during the fall and landed, head popping back up, and shaking, before he took a few curious steps forward. He began gekkering, as if calling out to something, but when Trey looked, he was fairly sure there was nothing there. Was it talking to the trees? Warning pokemon not to follow them, or else? Or was he just missing something? He frowned a bit, but glanced back when he noticed JR was already climbing onto the train, and moved to follow. "C'mon, Cherish, we need ta keep movin'," he urged. The gekkit looked back at him, gave one last yip to the distance, and then turned, dodging through the crowds to rejoin his trainer.

Even with his short stature, Keegan could make some distance. And distance he did; Alanna finally managed to catch up to him after rather serious running on her part and that was only because Keegan himself had finally come to a stop, hands on his knees as he struggled to catch his own breath. He had to wait a minute or two for the trembling to subside (boy when had that started up?) and soon enough Keegan was relatively back to his normal mundane self.
"Well that… was a nightmare," he spoke out loud to himself, grunting only slightly as Alanna hopped onto his back and perched herself on his shoulders. She gave him a sympathetic look, gently patting a paw to his cheek. She was aware of his … offness? Though she certainly didn’t understand it. It wasn’t like anyone was throwing punches the lad’s way but… ah well.
He narrowed a side look at her with the action; a mix of gratefulness for the sympathy and disapproval, because no matter how he tried to reason it… it was problematic. But the hard part was done! And if luck was on his side he wouldn’t have any further interactions for… a while? Keegan frowned as a shiver ran down his spine, head shaking as he turned his attention to the black and white (well as he saw it) pokeball in his hand. He had a new pokemon to meet after all. That much, he could handle.
"Hm… should we meet it now or… call Carrigan first?" Alanna blinked and gave him a stare; that was kind of a thing too, Keegan just talking out loud to himself. The oddness was probably alleviated by the Pikachu on his shoulders but well… only a little. Still, Alanna tilted her head as though honestly considering the inquiry before giving a shrug of her shoulders. Boy, some help she was…

It really didn’t take Keegan long to decide his next course of action; as much as he wanted to meet his new team mate, he also strongly desired some human interaction that wouldn’t send him into horrible anxiety. Plus, Carrigan would want him contacting him as soon as possible anyways. If only to give him a heads up that he wasn’t still standing outside the professor’s lab waiting to go in.
Fishing out his communicator, Keegan dialed the one of two numbers that existed in his device, waiting with a level of anxiousness as it rang. Sure, sure, Carrigan had a job and work and scheduled debuts and duties that he just couldn’t dump but damnit, couldn’t he fake illness to pick up the phone?

Admittedly Keegan was being a little selfish in this moment, and he even knew it. It was just… ‘hard’ for him to deal with at times. He didn’t often go off on his own and he wouldn’t have either if there hadn’t been any other choice. Carrigan had promised to be there and… failed. Miserably. Through no fault of his own though, but still. He’d failed and in this moment Keegan felt he was due compensation for going against his better judgement (and some pleading encouragement from Carrigan in the first place) and facing this alone.
Luckily, the ring came to a halt at the third go around and the screen flickered to life with a picture of a man that very well could’ve been a future older version of Keegan himself. If he had the ability to grow half a foot… and facial hair. And muscle mass. Maybe that wasn’t an appropriate comparison.
"Just… just give me a moment! I gotta take this, okay?" Carrigan remarked to someone off screen, looking briefly annoyed before his attention to the communicator. Immediately a grin overtook his face at the sight of Keegan. "Keegs! Alanna! Hey!" Keegan, despite wanting to play the cold shoulder, couldn’t help the little smile of relief that crossed his face. It was hard to stay mad at his older brother, as much as at times he would’ve liked too. "Hi."
"Hey I’m sorry I’m not there. You still waiting? I think maybe I can sneak away here in like... an hour…" Carrigan started and Keegan couldn’t help but tilt his head. So, he was still actually trying to find a way to get down here? That was… kind of sweet. And made Keegan feel a little bad for his previous demanding feelings. "Nah it’s… it’s okay. I already met the professor and got a starter," Keegan remarked, earning a look of surprise from the older man. "Oh whoa? Really?!" Carrigan’s expression turned from surprise to a sort of doubtful frown as he stared through the screen as though looking for evidence that this was a lie. "You sure you did…?"
"Mhm. See?" he remarked, holding up the pokeball holding the new Totodile. Carrigan squinted and stared at the ball before backing up and a smile blooming on his face again. "Well look at the Kegmaster go! Just busting ahead; you don’t need me for anything now do ya?" While the joke wasn’t lost on him, Keegan’s expression couldn’t help but falter into one of slight worry, a bit of a despairing look bleeding through. "Hey, hey I think we need to celebrate this, right? You’re starting something big! So let’s meet up, where are you?" Carrigan didn’t miss the upset that the joke earned, immediately shifting the conversation.
"Oh ah… still in New Bark right now," Keegan remarked, relieved by the change. That was exactly why he couldn’t stay mad; because well.. Carrigan cared. Work kept him busy and made meeting up harder, especially now that Keegan was going to be on the move, but he tried. The older man nodded, rubbing his chin. "Mm, mm alright! That’s not too far from what… Violet? We can meet up there? Think you can get there?" Keegan scoffed slightly, eyebrow quirking just a bit. "Yeah I’m pretty sure I can, but can you?"
This time it was Carrigan’s turn to scoff, thumbing his nose and giving a cheeky grin. "Hah! Damn straight I can! Rebecca can’t keep me saddled to appointments I don’t have-" as if on cue a female voice interrupted him off screen and Carrigan’s attention was snapped away. "I am not! It’s a business call!" Keegan watched from the other side of the communicator as Carrigan argued before his older brother finally turned back to the screen. "I’ll see you in a couple of hours, alright Kegmaster? Don’t be late!" And with that the video chat snapped off and the call ended.
"Well… okay," Keegan shrugged, tucking the communicator away. Alanna twitched her ears, giving him a curious side glance; that was par the course for a call to Carrigan when he was working. Keegan gave the Pikachu a matching side look and a shrug, glancing around before beginning his way towards the route that would lead them down the route heading to Violet City.

Makoto left the lab and sighed in relief. She just received a Chikorita that would become her best friend and hopefully with lots of successful battles, a beautiful Meganium. She released the Pokemon and made sure to get out of the way of the lab and around flowers so Hana could move around. Makoto squatted down and took out her sketch book and pencil, drawing Hana as she ran around. In the middle of the sketch, Hana ran over to Makoto. She put the book and pencil down and rubbed Hana's head,"Now your name is Hana. It means flower and I think that works just for you."The trainer smiled as Hana squeaked with joy and ran back to enjoying the weather.
