Aelin was walking backwards as Tsubin answered her questions. "By the way, I could have totally been a hot 50 year old and you would never have known." She chuckled flipping her hair over her shoulder. Still walking backwards, keeping balance on her toes, she chuckled again. "Also, sorry I'm so lewd. You probably don't want cooties right?" She teased, sticking her tongue out at him. She giggled as she picked up Potato, watching as the male fed Yuu and himself parts of the sandwich. She had already finished hers, but she had always been a pretty quick eater. Especially when kind of hungry. No longer walking backwards, the girl matched Tsubin's pace and listened to his explanation of Pacifidlog. "You mean the white things? They keep your town from free floating? That's kinda cool." She said, subconsciously flexing her hand even while she held the Trapinch. It was just... Subconsciously just moving the tender skin even after the ointment and wrapping were there... Just moving the tightening skin...
"So... I'm from the City Hammerlocke. It's a rather large city within castle walls. The gym there is within the old castle, and is full of dragons. In fact, the main way to enter Hammerlocke through the wild area is through a dragon's head. It's really cool." She said happily. She loved dragons. It only helped that her city was full of them... But... It also just... Wasn't where she wanted to be.. Especially with people like her family... Even just thinking that she had almost been sold off to another family to be a mother to some... Pompous...
Taking a deep breath to calm her sudden heated cheeks and racing heart, Aelin smiled down at the Trapinch that was wriggling happily. "This is my first time outside of Galar. But it's been such an adventure already." She nuzzled the Trapinch in her arms before turning to her friend. "So... I feel like we should just... Get to know each other! How many siblings do you have? What are your parents like? Favorite type of pokemon? Favorite color? Food?" She would have continued rambling if she hadn't gotten distracted by Celery jumping on her shoulders.

Celery didn't stay on Aelin's shoulder for long. She was so curious, and her trainer didn't seem to mind that the Torchic ran around, so long as she didn't do anything it seemed. Which was... Sorta okay. The torchic could sorta behave herself. Like with the molten rock from before, she had wanted to explore the rock. But... Her trainer and Tsubin were interested also, with a different idea in mind. Could they not just... Jump in? Like she could? Probably not now that the fire type thought about it. The tiny fire bird flapped down to the ground to run ahead. She was excited, and kinda having fun. She just needed to get them moving faster. She turned around, ready to squeak or squawk at them when something caught her eye. She turned her feathered face towards the side and noticed a pokeball just... Sitting under some bushes. Wha? What was a pokeball doing there? The Torchic ran over, ever the curious bird and pecked at it. Was... Something inside? She pecked a couple more times before looking back towards her trainer. As the Torchic looked away, she noticed that a light appeared behind her. Turning quickly, the Torchic looked up at a blue dragon pokemon. Squeaking, Celery ran back, followed by the Bagon... And in it's mouth was a pokeball.

↳Tsubin nearly snorted at her remarks. "Oh my, is this the point where the 'ara ara~' kicks in?" he jested, smirking. He took another large bite from his sandwich and handed the rest to Yuu as the Riolu waited patiently, taking the second half out of the packaging. Aelin's remark about what she thought he was referring to made him pause momentarily. "White? Our Corsola are mostly pink." It was moments like these where he nearly forgot about certain regional variants. "What are the Galarian ones like?"
"Ooh, historical. Can't imagine what it's like living in a big city around a castle. Also, what's the wild area?" He hadn't looked too much into details about different regions, much to his regret. At least now that he was on his own for a while, he'd have time to do his own research if he felt like traveling later on. Hearing firsthand accounts was also good for him, he figured. He took another bite of the half sandwich as he let his companion talk more, asking him questions about himself. "Ah, well..." He finished chewing and swallowing his food first. "Got three siblings. I'm the second youngest; oldest is off in college, second is studying for entrance exams for college, I'm right here, youngest is off in Kanto. Parents are into diving and fishing, among other things, so yeah, I eat a lot of fish and have been around water-types my whole life." He wouldn't continued answering if he didn't also get distracted by her Torchic running off and returning with... a Bagon? He blinked, confused. ".... Wow, she's really got a talent for just.... finding random Pokemon."

Aelin sent a sly smirk towards Tsubin at his comment. "Oh my, perhaps it is." She teased. She giggled as she listened to his words about the corsola that his town is attached too... Pink? "Oh that's right! Corsola from everywhere else are pink right? I forgot. Yeah, they are white and part ghost. They are kind of... I suppose they seem like they died? It's strange. They don't evolve here either do they? The Galarian ones have an evolution." She said as she continued walking. She noticed as Yuu happily gobbled the sandwich that he seemed happy. That made her kind of... Happy? Yeah, she was glad to have made a friend. Her first friend since she left her home. It was very... Clarifying.
As he asked about the city and wild area, Aelin chuckled. "It is a very nice place to live. The only problem i have with it would be the old fashioned thinking of some of the people who live in the upper part of the city. Otherwise, the history and stuff is awesome. The gym is within the castle and is a dragon gym so dragons always all around. It's beautiful." She said, her smile slightly disappearing, however... She could keep the smile on her face. She was always able too. It's how she was taught. "The wild area? It's a very large expanse of plains and trees. Full of pokemon and pokemon dens. It's really cool. It is between three of the towns. If you ever go to Galar, you will go through the Wild Area." She confirmed nodding.
As Tsubin started talking about his family, she nodded. She also had 3 siblings, so that was cool... And she was also second youngest... She slanted her eyes at him, they were very similar it seemed. She chuckled as he started explaining his family. Noticing that Celery jumped from her shoulder again, Aelin followed her with her eyes for a moment before turning her head back to her friend. "Okay, so... 2 siblings to college... And 2 are pokemon trainers? How did that happen?" She asked curiously. But then she heard his comment about Celery and turned back to see her Torchic squealing and running back towards her. A dragon baby chasing her. Aelin's eyes widened as she picked up the Torchic with her Trapinch. She looked at the Bagon as it ran up to her and dropped it's pokeball at her feet. What was going on?! "Celery... I have to catch pokemon... You know that right? I can't just have you stealing pokemon you know..." She said quietly looking at the Bagon. It looked at her and tilted it's head... Raising an eyebrow, she looked at the ball. The bagon also looked at the ball, then back at her... It looked back at the ball then happily scooped it up and placed it on her shoes. "Alright... uh... Another friend?" She shrugged, letting Celery down to pick up the ball. Interesting... She looked over at Tsubin, shrugged and started into Petalburg Woods....

↳"Careful now, I'm still a minor, you know," Tsubin snickered. "Oh, ghost Corsola, huh? Spoopy." He recalled how the ones he was used to were known to not like dirty water, otherwise they'd get rather sick. "Yeah, ours don't evolve. I can show you some of ours if we make it back to Pacifidlog. The ones in town are pretty friendly."
He wondered vaguely about the part of the city Aelin mentioned not liking due to the kind of people there. "You mean like.... stereotypical snooty rich folk, right?" he asked. That was understandable. He recalled times he and his siblings were occasionally insulted because of their social class, having come from a remote town rather than the big city they went to school in. "I doubt I'll ever end up in those parts of cities anyway. Otherwise, Hammerlocke does sound pretty cool. I'd love to visit one of these days. Gotta see all them dragons and buildings." He couldn't be entirely sure as he watched her, but he thought he saw the smile on her face falter ever so slightly. Something probably unmentioned in what she was describing caused it, probably. 'Too early to ask if something's bothering her from about talking about her home,' he thought. Yuu stopped nibbling on his piece of sandwich as his large red eyes turned to Tsubin, sensing some of the boy's sudden concern. "What is it, Tsu?" he asked. "Nothing buddy, finish your food," Tsubin chided gently, tapping the Riolu's nose as Aelin gave an explanation of the Wild Area. "Oh... wow, they really just toss you out into the wilderness to get around? That's pretty crazy." It was all fascinating, really. He was used to the sight of all the roads on these routes in Hoenn. He couldn't really imagine having to wander through grasslands and forests with only the sight of whatever looming city landmarks were in sight in the distance to guide him. He could only imagine it would be a lot like how a lot of the open world RPGs he had played were like, but in reality.
He didn't have to think much about the different paths he and Otani were taking from their older siblings. "Well... the main reason is that my younger sister and I are still in high school, and they just let us out for a break. We'll be back behind desks in two and a half months or so." He stopped in his tracks to wait for Aelin to collect her new addition, when another thought came to him. Something more playful, hopefully a distraction from what he noticed might've bothered her earlier. "So... did you leave Hammerlocke to escape dragons? Cuz it looks like you're just attracting them out here instead," he quipped with a grin as he followed past the city gates.

Arriving at Petalburg, Ryou couldn't help but stare for a bit. The city was huge, bigger than Blackthorn, and definitely bigger than any city the child had ever seen before. "Wow" 'Xure' Kai seemed to echo the sentiment as he too stood there and stared at the city in front of him. "We should bring everyone else out to see too." he said letting all the other pokemon out "guys check this out!" In a beam of red, Ryou's entire team was out. Noctis stayed close to Ryou but still couldn't help but look in awe at the scene. The little pokemon had never really strayed far from his route before capture. Tsuki and Mihiro both cried out in awe and seemed eager to explore the city. "Okay....let's look around" Ryou said taking off with his pokemon.

"We need to find the Pokemon center" Ryou said as he walked through town with his pokemon "and possibly a town map" He knew he and the pokemon probably made some kind of sight since they were openly staring at everything around the city. Petalburg was just a lot, specially to the group who had never been to a big city. "There's....a pokemart, and a gym. Should we go there?" he asked the group at large. Noctis whined obviously not in the mood to fight just yet, while Kai by contrast gave out an excited 'Xure' "We need to figure out what kind of pokemon he has first I think" Ryou said looking around "and...we should probably find that pokemon center" They walked further into the city but before they could find the center Ryou found his attention stolen by a familiar sight. "A library!" the boy said almost jumping in joy "Come on! Let's go check it out." The party (with the exception of Kai) all exchanged looks, never having seen their human that level of excited so far, but they followed after him none the less.

Arriving at the library Ryou finally stopped to catch his breath. He probably shouldn't have run here but he couldn't help it. Back in Blackthorn the library had been the only way for him to catch a glimpse of what the world outside the town might look like. ( well that and talking to the passing trainers but Ryou had always been a bit on the introverted side and going up to strangers-most of whom had been older than him- had seem really daunting- He couldn't help but laugh when both Mihiro and Tsuki stared at him with a look that pretty clearly said 'really? Here?' "I guess you've never been here but I promise it's pretty great" he said noting that at least Noctis seemed to be looking around curiously ( as opposed to with disdain like his two bird pokemon) "Librarie have pretty much information on everything. We might be able to find out more about the gym and the town too....and even how to approach the pokemon we'll have to battle" The group exchanged looks but before they could retort Ryou noticed a sign about pokemon in the library. "Oh yeah...I guess you guys have to go back in." he said apologetically. "Though I can keep one out." Mihiro and Tsuki both stepped forward, clearly wanting to be inside the pokeballs. After a bit, so did Kai. "Guess it's just you and me Noctis" he said. The poochyena gave a yip and together they stepped into the library.

The librarian was extremely kind in Ryou's opinion. As soon as he had stated that he was a novice trainer, she had given him information on the town and things that they could do while they stayed and trained. Which was another thing, apparently, they would need to train a lot. Ryou had found books on Roxanne's pokemon and what their strenghts and weaknesses would be. He hadn't read them all, since Noctis had reminded him by nipping at his pant leg, that they had actually been there for hours, and he wasn't even halfway done with the books-but that was what lending them out was for. He hadn't finished them, but he had read enough to know that even with Mihiro and Kai, they weren't ready. He knew Mihiro knew water gun but as he had read (and seen while living in a town with a league gym) having an attack with a type of advantage just wasn't enough. He needed to train Mihiro so that she knew at least four attacks...and possibly train everyone else in the process too. Walking outside, the boy decided to get a bite to eat. He released his other Pokémon once outside the library and started walking towards a cafe when he suddenly tripped over something 'Tad!' Ryou looked up just in time to see an angry pokemon with a leaf on it's headtry to tackle him. He cried out in surprise again when Mihiro intercepted the attack. "Mihiro are you okay?" he asked. The bird pokemon nodded with a chirp. "okay..use water gun" Mihiro did as told and without thinking much about it ( other that he wanted to be able to go get food in peace) Ryou threw a pokeball.

Ryou cried out in surprise when the pokemon was able to break out of the ball. That...that hadn't happened before. The lotad glared at him and seemed to be gearing up to attack again. Ryou quickly took out another pokeball, not wanting his pokemon to get hurt. Please stay in this time the boy thought as he saw the pokemon be engulfed in a beam of red light. He stared intently as the pokeball began to shake. He breathed a sigh of relief when it finally stopped shaking. Walking over to the pokeball, he picked it up. "Okay" he said "so we should probably go find the pokemon center now."

Finding the pokemon center proved to be a bit of a challenge as the city was quite big. Ryou walked around for a bit, taking notes of the locales and the pokemart (they needed to get something to eat all of them and would probably do so after they visited the center) before finally seeing the familiar white and red building. "Good evening" he said falling back into the polite manners the clan had drilled into him in the precence of an adult "can you please heal my new pokemon?" The nurse joy smiled kindly and Ryou decided to take a seat with the rest of his pokemon while he waited for his new pokemon to be healed he sat down in one the chairs and watched his pokemon. Noctis was curled up in a ball at his feet while Tsuki was caught in a game of tag with Mihiro. He decided he might as well read while he waited and took a book from the stack that he had carried over ( well that Kai had carried over)

It didn't surprise Ryou when he looked up and Nurse Joy was calling him over. He had done it before-gotten lost in a book only to realize hours had passed. It had happened before, he would pick up a book and suddenly he would look up and hours would pass him by. His mother called it "getting lost in reading." Ryou just knew he would get absorved by whatever he was reading about and not realize just how much time was passing. The book he had picked was about rock types in general, since he knew Roxanne had that as her chosen type. He had lerned that rock types were strong against fire types bug types flying types and ice types. Which doesn't bode well for me, the boy thought looking at his team when half my team is flying and fire, and one of them is both! He had however, also learned that they were weak to fighting, grass, and water. And I just got a new team mate who can help with that. The boy thought putting his book back in tote bag the librarian had given him. Which reminded him, nurse joy was calling him.

After recieving his new pokemon back, Ryou released him, finally taking a look at just who he had caught. Lotad, the pokedex said when he aimed it at the pokemon This Pokémon lives in ponds with clean water. It is known to ferry small Pokémon across ponds by carrying them on the broad leaf on its head. "Huh...interesting" he said looking at the mentioned leaf "like a water lily..." He kneeled down to look the lotad in the eye. "I don't know why you were so set on tackling my face" Ryou said "but would you want to join us? We could really use your help" The Lotad seemed to mull this over before giving out a nod. "Okay well...come meet everyone" Ryou said bringing the lotad over to the rest of his party.
The others took to Yuri ( as Ryou had named the water pokemon) pretty well.... even Noctis who had been the wariest of them (Ryou was starting to see a pattern though at least Noctis seemed to be losing her fear of Tsuki) and soon Ryou decided to go grab something to eat. He almost made it an entire block without something else happening. "What is it with the pokemon in this place" the boy muttered jumping back from a leaping....bug? 'wurmple' the dex suggested Okay...a jumping wurmple. Ryou looked back at Yuri "You wanna try your very first battle?" he asked the Lotad Yuri nodded (rather enthusiastically and... okay so Tsuki would have competition in the 'loves to battle actually' department apparently) "Okay use...absorb!" Ryou said after checking the pokedex for what moves Yuri had. Yuri obeyed and Ryou stared as the wild pokemon fainted. "Okay we're definitely keeping that one" he said smiling at Yuri before the little entourage continued with their search for food.
The look for food led them to a small cafe where Ryou ordered food for himself and his pokemon. He let the entire team out to eat and found himself (unsurprisingly) back with his nose in a book while eating his food. This one however was about Petalburg city. "So apparently there's a gym here too" he said as he ate "wonder if we can challenge it....but I'd have to read up on what type of pokemon they have....and return the books I have on Roxanne probably." He looked up from his book when he felt a tail smack him on the back of the legs and found Fraxure fix him with a look. "What was that for?!" Ryou asked Kai gave a 'xure' and it took Ryou a bit to figure out what he wanted. Actually it took him looking down and realizing that his plate was barealy touched. "Alright I'm putting the book away now." he said closing the book and digging into his food

After finishing up his food Ryou decided to let his pokemon rest for a bit. They were full after all and he didn't feel like recalling them back to his pokeballs. He smiled down at Noctis, who was napping at his feet. So far the poochyena really seemed to prefer being with his trainer than with other pokemon. It was a contrast to the others who were already forming bonds. Mihiro and Tsuki seemed to always be close together, the only exception being now that Mihiro was following Noctis lead and taking a nap. Tsuki for his part was engaged in playing a game of tackle-tag with Kai with the dragon type seeming incredibly amused by dodging the little pokemon's tackle at the last minute. Kai seemed to have taken his role of being the oldest pokemon quite seriously but also seemed to get a lot of enjoyment out of teasing teh younger pokemon and he and Tsuki seemed to have more of a rapport than literally anyone else in the team. Ryou smiled, his team was coming together and soon he'd have his first badge Well...soonish.
