✪Walking Pokemon ⇨ Dallas instantly regretted his decision when he saw Naomi's reaction. He was getting very, very excited about getting him a yukata. The bully's cheeks were getting red, and the fact that Naomi was getting so jazzed up was making him feel...well, whatever he was feeling, he couldn't dwell on it long, as Naomi had grabbed his hand and was leading him off to a store. "Whoa, hey!" He grabbed hold of his pupil's hand and had to get running to keep up. Usually, Dallas would have ripped his hand away and tell off anyone willing to touch him. But instead, he held on tighter and enjoyed the ride for the time being. "Alright, alright, spaz, I'm coming, I'm coming!"
Once they reached the store, Dallas almost felt bad to not be holding hands. But, he played it cool, and shoved his hands into his pockets. "Oh wow, this must be getting your little dress boner going nuts," he taunted in a deflective manner. He waited patiently while Naomi went to get help, and glanced around at some of the different yukatas. Some of them were actually really elaborate and beautiful. Not as cute as Naomi's, though, he thought. That dork.
Once they got his measurements (which almost caused Dallas to fight the tailor when he got too close to 'the goods'), they went through a whole array of yukata. Some were very flowery and vibrant, and others were very simple and stoic, but none of them really fit well for Dallas. It would be great for Austin, but Austin is just make-believe; what was perfect for Dallas? On the bright side, he could tell that Naomi was enjoying himself, seeing his teacher in the clothing he always taunted. "What about this? I think you look amazing, sir!" Dallas sighed. "I look like a huge tool..."
Dallas rolled his eyes, and ended up catching a glance of a yukata that was stuffed behind some others. "Hey, what about that one?" The tailor looked over and instantly smiled and shook his head. "Oh sir, I don't think you'd want that. It belonged to a gangster from out of town. I doubt you'd want to have something like...sir?" A few minutes later, Dallas was wearing a very garish Yukata that made Dallas look like a complete thug, but in yukata-form. "Hell yeah! that's what I'm talking about!" Dallas exclaimed. "Now this is a dress for a badass. I'll take it!" The tailor wanted to protest, but when he was handed the money, he decided to give Naomi a look that said "Sorry!" and he bagged up Dallas' street clothes.
"Pretty cool, huh Nao-kun? I think I look pretty cool. Hot, even, you know, for wearing what you wear."/size]
As entertaining as it was to watch Dallas be measured, Naomi found himself wandering the aisles, with eyes bright, and examining the both the fabric and design of each selection that caught his eye. Soft and fine to the touch, without being too taut, this was the sort of work that would impress even his mother! He'd have to tell her about this, and his father, in the letter he sent back home. He'd been writing one a day, with each just a brief summarization of his journey, and planned to send them all together at the end of the month; it was a good way of keeping them up-to-date on his progress while also allowing him a chance to sit back and reflect on the event's of each day.
Dallas' trip through Japanese attire was an amusing one, and several times Naomi had to fight back a grin or suppress a giggle as he tried on different yukata patterns. Seeing this as too good an opportunity to pass up, the youth even managed to convince Rotom to snap a few pictures of Dallas in his more brighter apparel. For once, he didn't offer up a single complaint, and obliged Naomi by taking as many photos as he could, with a few electronic snickers to go along with them. "I think you look handsome!" Naomi chimed in, tearing his gaze away from Rotom's final product; these were definitely getting developed. As much as he approved of Dallas' current clothes, neither his or the tailor's opinion mattered, it was Dallas who had the final say. So when he pulled out a... interesting yukata, Naomi offered not a single objection and kept his smile all the way up to the black-and-gold outfit's purchase.
Voicing his opinion, however, was a different matter. "You look very..." he purposefully trailed off, giving himself the chance to come up with the proper adjective to fit Dallas' new style; 'dignified' certainly wasn't one of them. "You." Naomi finally answered, and then smiled. "And dressing as yourself is one of the best styles." His purchase made, there was nothing stopping the duo from heading back to Sushi High Roller for seating... except Ieyasu, who had briefly become distracted with pawing at the end robe of a hakama. Naomi laughed, scooped up his pokemon, then lead their small group out the door and back in the direction of the restaurant. This time they were allowed entrance, albeit hesitantly, and it wasn't long before they were seated. "I love the design~" Naomi remarked as he sat down, head swiveling from side to side to the take the interior in.

✪Walking Pokemon ⇨ Once Dallas had gotten the approval from Naomi, the two of them were out and about and back to Sushi High Roller, and they were now at some nice seating for two. "Not too shabby," Dallas muttered. He was sitting on a fancy cushion, standard for tatami sitting, but also very nonstandard for the city thug. He finally ended up sitting on his knees, ruffling his yukata. "Stupid dress..." By the time he was finally comfy, their server arrived. "Good evening, young sirs," she greeted. "We are grateful for your patronage. May I recommend omakase?" Dallas didn't really remember the old traditional language all that well, so he simply shrugged and said "Yeah, sure."
"Nami? Jō? Toku-jō?"
"Yeah, uh, the last one. Toki joe. Just hurry up, we're starving." A little perturbed, the professional waitress bowed and went off to inform the chef. It wouldn't be too long until there would be delicate, premium sushi delivered on bamboo leaves on a nice, wooden platter. And by Arceus, it was delicious. If it wasn't for the fact that only a few pieces of sushi were delivered at a time, Dallas would have eaten all that was placed in front of him. But, instead he tried his best to be polite enough to not get them kicked out. He would comment on the rounds of nigiri, even some very rare Qwilfish. But eventually, there was a lull in the rounds of sushi, and Dallas and Naomi were sitting alone.
Dallas averted his eyes a few times, always catching a glance of Naomi and his pleasant smile. Eventually it got to an odd mixture of annoying and endearing, so he eventually had to just up and blurt out a question. "Naomi, why are you so damn nice and cheerful all the time, anyway? What's your deal?"
Melody just smirked at the response Lysander gave, noting the slight amusement but returning to her own space as to not push further. Really, she was more pleased to have earned a laugh from Heather, looking between the two and giving the younger girl a wink. "Oh? I don’t know Lys, I think we’re seeing the comparison pretty clearly," she teased with a chuckle of her own. She listened as Lysander confirmed who Korrina was, noticing the disdain and giving a little frown at the explanation. "Oh? Really? I didn’t know that," she hummed, seeming to think about it. "Who knew you were so dedicated to hunting eggs?" Melody smirked. "But well… lesson learned. No more rushing, right?" It did seem a bit extreme to have a badge requirement but well… who was she to organize events?
As the shore line appeared, Melody retrieved her things as well as the abandoned pokemon of Fabian’s. Poor Orchid was squeaking in some for of crying and the blonde soothed her to assure her that her trainer wasn’t going to die. Hopefully. "Fabi, come on. Can you walk?" She inquired. The young man, still green in the face and probably void of stomach anymore, looked back at her in the most pathetic way possible. Honestly. She felt a bit bad.
"Come on, let’s get you off of here before you kill the wildlife or something," Melody remarked, looping and arm around one of Fabi’s and have dragging him along after Lysander and Heather, Susie trailing just behind at their heels. The walking from the docks and towards the garden did seem to help slowly improve his condition and eventually he was able to reclaim Orchid from Melody and give the little Zubat little scratches between the ears with his standard grin returning. His eyes did go wide at the sight of the garden as they passed through the golden arches, clearly amazed at the sight.
"Whoooooaaa…. This place is so… so… bright!" He exclaimed; clearly Fabian was a man of powerful descriptive words. His eyes landed on the bridge and his smile grew brighter as he glanced over at the group. "Do you think that bridge is made of gold? It looks like it!"

Caught up in the interior of the restaurant, Naomi only turned away when a waitress arrived at their table. He wasn't sure if Dallas would need an explanation on what the waitress had suggested, but figuring it was better safe than sorry he turned to do just that -- only to be beaten by Dallas' hasty decision-making. The teenager closed his mouth, and kept it shut until after the waitress had left, but once she was gone he leaned over the table. "Dallas, are you certain you want to order this?" he asked, eyebrows furrowed. Certainly, getting the omakase would allow them to enjoy the restaurant's finest, since it was several course's of the chef's choice, but it was risky since they wouldn't know the price of their meal until afterwards. "We will not know the cost of our meal until after we've eaten it." Naomi didn't want to insult Dallas, or suggest that he didn't have the funds to pay for them, but he did want to be smart about this.
In the end, they did decide to stick with their original order, and despite Naomi's hesitance he did enjoy the different dishes brought out to them. He was quiet as he ate, switching off between eating his sushi plain or dipping it into the wasabi they offered, content with the food and gentle atmosphere provided by the restaurant itself. When they reached an interval, Naomi used that as a time to drink a bit of water, clearing his palette for the eventual next course, but glanced over at Dallas when he spoke up. "Hm?" Why was he nice? What an odd question. The foreigner placed swallowed his water and placed his cup down, but rather than draw his hand back he stared at it thoughtfully, trying to gather his thoughts and come up with an appropriate answer besides 'I don't know'.
"That is just who I am," Naomi eventually answered. "It is easier to go through life with a smile, and there are so many things to smile about, especially when you do not focus on the negatives in life." He drew quiet a moment, and his fingers ran gently over the smooth surface of his cup. "I am not always cheerful, I do experience a full range of emotions like everyone else. It is just, so far, I have only experienced pleasant things," he added as an afterthought; he wanted Dallas to know that he was capable of feeling, and displaying, other emotions than joy. That felt like the right thing to say, but it still felt as if his response was a tad lackluster. He didn't reflect on that, however, and instead turned the question onto Dallas. "Why are you usually so abrasive, Dallas? What is your 'deal'?" He wasn't going to say he was always this way, because there were certain situations and moments where Naomi had caught a glimpse of a kinder person, he just was... most of the time.

✪Walking Pokemon ⇨ Dallas listened as Naomi explained himself, albeit while holding back a rude rebuke and smirk. "So you just are, huh? 'I'm like being happy, therefore I am' or something like that?" He shrugged his shoulders and shoved another roll into his mouth before he continued. "I mean, trust me, I'm glad you've had a sweet run so far, dork. Really, I am. Heck, I'd be lying if I said I wasn't having a run of good luck. But, ya gotta be careful with that big ol' smile of yours. Someone's gonna come along and take advantage of that cheerfulness, you know?" To demonstrate his point, he quickly snapped up Naomi's last tuna roll. "See? Told ya." Dallas laughed loud enough to get stares from teh other diners, and in an odd show of kindness, the mean teacher returned the roll to his pupil.
When the question was turned on Dallas, he averted his gaze, and crossed his arms. "Well, I don't see how that's any of your combeeswax, Naomi," he muttered. But, a rare opportunity had risen; usually people asked him why he was so mean while he was pummeling them, not during a nice da-dinner, just dinner. He broke his defensive posture and scratched the back of his head. "But...if you must know, it's just...easier that way." He drank the rest of the green tea he had been sipping at, and tried to get the words together. "When I was a kid, I was actually alot like you. nice, all smiley and cute and- anyways, I was a little dork until I learned a very important lesson: nobody cares about your happiness but you, and if you get in the way of someone else's good time, they'll pull your legs out from underneath you so quickly your teeth will click when you hit the floor. So, you ignore that for a few years until you decide to take the fight to them instead." Dallas leaned back on his pillow with a cocksure smile. "In other words, it's better to just be the bully than the victim." He let that sink in, and felt that little twinge that disagreed, but he powered through, as always.
"But don't worry your pretty little head, Nao-kun, I'm not gonna bully you. It'd be like taking candy from a baby, and I'm way to elite for that crap." Dallas smiled genuinely, and shrugged. "But yeah, ain't no thang, Nao-kun...now, are we getting any more good or what?" As if on queue, the waitress arrived, but instead of having more food, she had an elegant bill on a nice wooden tray. "Thank you for your patronige. Your bill, sirs." Dallas snatched it up, and put on his best poker face when he saw the astronomical bill. He shrugged, and reached in folds of his yukata before pulling out a tight roll of money. "No problem, babe, keep the change." She beamed at the large wad of bills, and bowed deeply. "Such a kind gentleman!" She looked over to Naomi, and added "You're lucky to have such a generous friend, sir!" The last word caught Dallas right in the chest, and his cheeks blushed. She thinks we're friends? Huh...I like the sound of that, kinda And after the waitress scurried off, Dallas stood up and offered a hand t his friend, Naomi. "Well, friendo, let's get outta here and check out that garden or something," he said cheerfully. But, as he lifted Naomi up, he whispered into his pupil's ear. "Seriously, let's bail before she realizes I just have her a twenty and crap load of newspaper clippings!" And with that, he tugged on Naomi's hand and took off into the night, leaving a very angry sushi restaurant in their wake.
Naomi kept quiet as he listened to Dallas, absorbing his words and taking them into consideration. “I do not want to be taken advantage of,” he admitted, his expression more thoughtful than worried. “But, every situation differs. I could be put at a disadvantage, but it might benefit the other person more. For example.” He picked his tuna roll back up, the same one Dallas had taken and then returned, before he placed it onto Dallas’ plate. “I do not mind if you take my last tuna roll. I am full, and I want to give you the opportunity to enjoy yourself as well.”
Naomi tilted his head to the side, considering an idea, before laughing gently at his own conclusion. “Of course, not every situation will end with me being content. But, I do know how to take care of myself, Dallas. Though, I appreciate your worry and advice, all the same. Thank you.” Perhaps he was being naive, but he liked to think that, with his general knowledge and pokemon by his side, he’d fair well.
Dallas was an… interesting man, and certainly the first individual he’d met that was so… like him; loud and discourteous, but not entirely selfish and capable of being consideration and caring. Perhaps it was because of his curious nature, or the fact that Dallas was the only person he’d spent several hours worth of interaction with since his arrival in Alola, but Naomi wanted to know more about him and understand him better as an individual; after all, that was the only way the two of them could become good friends. So, as it was, sitting across from the blonde, and listening to his, very honest and vulnerable, explanation felt like a step in the right direction.
Naomi joked gently. “But, I believe I have found a… flaw in your thinking. There are many people who are driven by more than just self-interest, I have met several, yourself included, and while they can be… hard to find, at times, they are not rare. You just need to know where to find them.” Naomi shared his opinion with genuine emotion behind it, because it was one he believed in whole-heartedly. There were good people in the world. “There are more than just bullies and victims in the world, Dallas. There are also those who stand up to the bullies and help the victim.”
The male still managed to offer a chuckle, soft albeit appreciative, before he shook his head gently. “I am glad to hear that I am… not worth the effort,” he mused. Naomi finished off the last of his water before he sat back, giving himself a chance to digest his meal, and waited patiently for Dallas to handle their bill, though he did offer the waitress a nod of agreement when she spoke up about his friendship with the other male. “Yes, I would have to agree. Though, I believe our meeting was more of a stroke of fortune for him.” He was only teasing, of course, and it showed in the cheeky smile he sent towards the other.
Naomi took the hand offered to him and stood to his feet, but it was when he began to hunch over to brush at the ends of his yukata that he froze, and his eyes dilated with shock as Dallas whispered in his ear. He pressed his lips together, but remained silent, and indicated for Ieyasu and Rotom to follow behind as they left the restaurant. Several seconds of silence passed from there, but it was broken soon afterwards. “Dallas, why did you not tell me you could not afford the bill?” he asked, careful to keep his voice low, but his troubled expression indicated that not all was right. “I would have helped to pay for it.”

✪Walking Pokemon ⇨ Susan, the Gardevoir Dallas and Susan woke up bright and early in an attempt to beat the rush to the ferries. That, and dodge any would-be revenge from last night's scam. However, when Dallas stepped out of the Poke'mon Center, he was greeted by an angry man in a yukata and the waitress from last night. "There you are! You thief, you owe us money!" shouted the man. Dallas sighed a curse, and shoved his hand in his pocket. "Oh, I'm sorry! Here, lemme see if I have it here..." Instead, he pulled out a big middle finger. "Nope, no money! And that was my last ********, so I ain't got anymore to give. So beat it, old man, before you get your a** kicked!"
The manager was not swayed. His honor demanded retribution! "Never! I'll get that money one way or another! I, Nojimi Hiro, am honor-bound! Go, Salandit!" Hiro sent out the corrosive salamander, which hissed angrily at its foes. Can I beat it up? Dallas shrugged. "I dunno, can you? Let's find out!" Susan roared before jumping into the fray. ~~~ The battle with Hiro was a hardy one, Dallas would have to admit. The manager didn't just let himself get steamrolled; Susan ended up poisoned before defeating the Salandit, and then it was Buns vs. Hiro's Torkoal. Buns almost fainted, demaniding a switch to the ever-reliable Beltigre to finish it off. Hiro's Raticate tried its best to beat Duchess' thick fur coat, but the haughty poodle taught it some manners with some swift headbutts. Eventually, Hiro was out of Poke'mon, and defeated. "You lose, loser," Dallas said, keeping his cool (even after almost losing himself). "Well, I'm outta here, idiots. See ya!"
But before he could leave, the waitress stepped in front of him. "No...you beat my manager....but I have honor too! You deceived me, and my honor will be tarnished until I defeat you!" Hiro looked up, wide-eyed. "M-Min! You don't have to do this!" But Min shook her head. "I must, Nojimi-San! You're like a father to me...ever since you took me in, you've treated me like a daughter! I owe you everything and more-"
"You have got to be ******** kidding me-"
"and that is why I'll fight too! For the honor of Sushi High Roller! And for you too...Otōsan!" Hiro trembled as tears of joy trickled down his cheeks. "You can do it, Min-chan! I believe in you!" Min reached for her poke'ball with resolve, and shot a glare at Dallas. "Here I come! For HONOOOOOOOOR-"
And Min lost horribly.
Dallas stood over her beaten Poke'mon and her prostrated, sobbing self. "I hate repeating myself, but, you lose, loser." Dallas stepped returned his Poke'mon and stepped over the two of them. "Oh, and by the way, your wasabi sucks." And with that, it was off to the docks.

✪Walking Pokemon ⇨ After the Sushi High Roller people finally cleared out, Dallas doubled back to use the center's services for his Poke'mon. They had taken a bit of a bruising, and the trainer wouldn't let his poor pals travel in such a condition. It only took a few minutes to get them back to tip-top shape, and then it was time to hoof it to the docks. If I remember right, I gotta head back to Hao'oli, then Route 1 to Twinleaf...man, I wish I could just ride Riptide across the ocean. Maybe when he's bigger...
Dallas made it to the docks rather quickly, even while taking the back roads to avoid any possible run-ins with the cops. And when he took a spot on the ferry and leaned against the railing, he thought he was finally in the clear. He let out a sigh of relief, and looked out to the sea. And then, an annoying sound rang out.
"You thief! I, Nojimi Hiro, challenge you!" Dallas grumbled as he leered at the manager. "Seriously? Do I gotta knock some sense into you, old man?!" Hiro and Min stood on the pier, ready for another battle. And Dallas was ready to give it to them, too...or, at least he thought he was. But he kept remembering what Naomi had said. I'm not a thug, huh...god dammit... Dallas sighed, and pulled out his wallet."Look, I only got about 10,000, okay? It's all I have. I'll give ya 8 so I can still buy food for my Poke'mon. Sorry I ripped you off." Dallas leaned over the railing, holding out the wad of money.
Hiro looked at the bills shrewdly before accepting them. "This is still not even close...but, at least you admitted your dishonor." Hiro gave a small bow to Dallas. "If you ever come back to Malie, you'd better be ready to pay the rest before you step foot in our restaurant. Let's go, Min-chan." The two of them left, and Dallas just watched them, perplexed. "That went well, I guess," he mumbled. "Well, there you go, Nao-kun. I tried." While the funny feeling bothered him, it wasn't altogether bad. He might try being nicer more often. But, there was no point in pushing himself, either.
Naomi listened attentively as Rotom explained, in more depth, about the trials that took place over the islands. They were akin to the gyms in the other regions, in the fact that there was a 'trial captain' you had to challenge to earn your stamp. There were eight in total, just like they were eight gyms in each region, and each specialized in their own typings. There were also actual trials, which differed from battling the trial captain, and they weren't required either, they were optional.
Thinking on it, on his way to the Pokemon Center for the night (because he was a bit too tired to locate a boarding house), Naomi decided that he'd try both, just for the experience of both. "We will have to wake up early to catch the first boat back to Hau'oli," he spoke, as a verbal reminder to himself and for the two pokemon by his side. Rotom dipped his head in a nod, then pulled up the docks' scheduled departs for the next day, before he said, "The earliest one leaves at 8 sharp." Naomi took this into account for his plans for the morning, then nodded. "Then we shall wake up at six." That wouldn't be too different from his usual wake up time.

It was on their way to the Center that the trio passed by Sushi High Roller, and Naomi, remembering the promise he'd made to himself, made a quick detour back into the restaurant. It'd been about an hour since he and Dallas had eaten there, and he wasn't surprised to find that the greeter who now stood behind the podium was a different person, though she smiled at, who she believed to be was a potential diner, just as her previous coworker had. "Table for one, sir?" Naomi shook his head as he approached the woman, unsure of how to explain his situation to her. 'My friend and I were here earlier, and I have come to pay for the meal we ran out on' certainly wasn't the way to start. The woman raised an eyebrow, understandably confused that the diner had yet to speak.
As luck would have it, as Naomi floundered for words, a waitress just so happened to pass by, carrying a tray of dirty dishes, his waitress in fact. "Ah. Excuse me, miss." Naomi, stepping past the befuddled greeter, approached the woman before she had the chance to go any farther. She turned, perplexed as to why a customer would call her out specifically, and her features light up with recognition. "It's you!" She exclaimed, quick to frown at the dasher. "What? Have you come to skimp out on another meal?" Naomi ducked his head down, embarrassed by her accusation, but quickly gathered his thoughts and what little determination he had. "No, I have not," he answered firmly.
"I, actually, wanted to come and pay back what was owed. I am terribly sorry for having.. 'skimped out', it was never my intention to do so, nor was it my friend's." He was telling the semi-truth. He would never dream of leaving any place of business without paying, and while Dallas' crime misdeed had been intentional, Naomi was optimistic that he wouldn't do it again. Min scrutinized him skeptically, unsure whether or not she could believe him. She took a breath, but rather than speak she pushed herself onto her tiptoes and looked around.
"Where's your friend?" she asked, eyes narrowed. "We parted ways some time ago. I am not sure of his exact location now." She huffed, but after scanning the restaurant once more, she fell back flat onto her feet. "Yeah... alright." Naomi perked up. "The truth is, my manager and I tracked him down earlier, and he paid for part of his bill," she confessed, and smirked at Naomi's surprise. "There's still a large amount of money he owes us, but if you want to pay off the rest of his debt I'm sure my manager would accept that."
He'd been willing to pay the entire bill, but knowing that Dallas had, at least, attempted to right his wrong was an unexpected bonus. "I can do that," he assured, but waited until the waitress had recollected their bill and announced its grand total, before he removes his money pouch from his bag and handed over the remaining debt. After the waitress counted the bills, in front of him to assure she wasn't being cheated a second time, she allowed him to go, leaving his wallet in a depressed state, but his spirits soaring.

Their side quest complete, Naomi gave himself time to collect himself, before continuing on to the Pokemon Center. Rotom, who had been uncharacteristically quiet inside of the restaurant and even now, followed closely behind. He wouldn't comment on how Naomi's wallet had been bled dry (what did he care how the kid spent his money), but after mulling something over he decided to speak up. "Battling trainers is a good way to get yourself some money." Naomi, who'd settled into the night's silence, looked up, but held back from commenting right then. "There are some real idiots out there, who give out 'prize money' to the trainers that manage to beat them." As strange a concept as it was, there was a potential benefit, and in his favor, to abiding by it, and Naomi recognized this. "Thank you, Rotom. I will try to battle more trainers in the future." He was grateful for the pokemon's advice, and it showed in his expression. Rotom, rather than reply, gestured up ahead, where the Pokemon Center lay.
Securing a room was simple, and afterwards Naomi headed for the cafeteria the healing center kept open for both trainers and their pokemon. Still full from his meal with Dallas, the young man sat at a table and watched as his pokemon enjoyed their meals, though only 4 out of the six seemed to. Rotom, again, didn't eat--he was starting to wonder just what the ghost survived on--and Moriyoshi, strangely enough, only picked at his food. While concerned, Naomi chalked it up to an especially potent case of drowsiness, considering that soon after Moriyoshi curled up to sleep right there on the floor. As comfortable as the floor of a cafeteria was, the trainer got the feeling that his starter would much prefer a bed, and so he picked him up and waited for the rest of his pokemon to finish eating before retreating to his room for the night.
Naomi allowed Mori to rest on his bed, once they were in their room, and gave the rest of his team the freedom to choose their own sleeping place while he headed into the bathroom to shower. It was to be a quick one, considering how early they had to wake up in the morning, and yet afterwards he took the time to write out a letter to his parents, updating them on his adventure (minus the diner dash) since he'd written his last one. His plan was to accumulate a month's worth of letters, and then send them all off to his parents back in Ransei. Once he finished that, Naomi finally allowed himself to fall into bed with the rest of his pokemon. It was only a few short hours later that he was waking up, rousing his team, and getting dressed for a quick breakfast before he headed to the docks to catch his boat.
