Sam got off the boat at the same time as the girl he was talking to earlier. "So I need to reserve a room at the pokecenter for the night, but after that we can have a battle at the nearest battle area." He said to her. His Riolu was in his arms, but it was still looking at the Lucario. Sam knew Riolu had no chance against whatever pokemon she was going to use, so he would use other pokemon. His mind was already set on which ones it would be. He started walking in the direction of the pokemon center, expecting the girl to follow him. He was okay with it if she didn't, as she might have other plans already, although he hoped for her to follow, so he could have the battle as quickly as possible.
