Shinsuke simply nodded at the professors' rundown of the location they were to head through; though he himself had put aside time to familiarize himself with the region's layout, it was by no means a replacement for going out there and checking the place out himself. He could at least understand that much. After one of the girls tossing out a halfhearted remark (and failing to say his name correcly), Shinsuke silently walked along the rest of the group following behind the boy from earlier, listening to the conversation unfolding in front of him. It seemed that the questions weren't directed towards him anyhow, so he was content to listen idly as the group continued chatting away.

The interesting part about it all, though, was the fact that it seemed that two of them seemed to be from Unova. He himself had never really been interested in the region, but the things he HAD read (mainly the whole spectacle of building skyscrapers) had caught his attention... Momentarily. In truth, he really had no way to relate to these people in the least, which wasn't very good considering how he would have to travel alongside them for the remainder of this journey.

Through under normal circumstances he would have liked to maybe try and inject himself into the conversation, Shinsuke found himself unable to do so, be it out of hesitance or uncertainty; even he himself wasn't quite sure of the reason why. So in the end, he remained silent as the rest of the group continued through the streets, which continued to emanate this air of grandeur and amazement...

Well, to him, at least.
