 [color=#00B300]” You want my help? Well, I doubt I will be of any help mate. I’m a new trainer too. Though, if you want to know anything about your pokemon I guess I would be your man. For example, Deino is blind because of the fur covering its eyes and rams or bites everything to get a feel of where it is. Thus, if you have a deino you’ll need to care for it much more often if you keep it out of its ball.”[/color]
 
[color=0054a6] "No wonder you are so agressive girl," [/color] Anthony laughed as he vigorously patted Truble.[color=0054a6] "Well I don't know much about taking care of pokemon as individuals only know about battles and training," [/color] he admitted. It was then when he came up with a great idea. [color=0054a6] "Perhaps if you're up for it we can team up. You can help me learn about pokemon and I'll teach you about how to improve your battling skills?" [/color] he offered.
 
Wave thought over the offer which had been extended to him by the trainer he had just met. While it certainly was not rare for trainers to pair together, he had yet to see other trainers in the area do it. Then again, other trainers might have already teamed up before the meeting. Which meant Wave was left behind once again! [color=#00B300]"That'd probably be good. I've never been much of one to battle anyway and traveling with somebody else wouldn't be nearly as boring as traveling alone. Anyway, name's Wave. I guess it's nice to meet ya'. And this girl here,"[/color] Wave says as he motions toward the Slakoth looking over his shoulder, [color=#00B300]"is...well I don't really know what to call her. Never been good with names, sorry girl."[/color] Wave finished his statement by rubbing his Slakoth on the top of her head.

[color=0054a6]"A pleasure meeting you Wave, I'm Anthony but you can call me Tony. My two pals here are Jaws and Truble. As for your friend there don't worry her name will come naturally,"[/color] Anthony greeted, tipping his hat as usual. Jaws offered a warm cry as a greeting and Trubel as usual gave the pair a disregarding nod. [color=0054a6]"So are you from around here? I'm from Hoenn and this is my first time in Kalos so excuse me for being a tad lost,"[/color] he said.

[i]A trainer from Hoenn in Kalos, now that is something new.[/i] Wave thought to himself as he thought about what to do. He had only been in Lumiose city three times with his Father and that was along time ago so his memory of the city was rather fuzzy. [color=#00B300]"Yeah, I was born here in Kalos, my Father runs a Breeding Center in Coumarine. Uh, I don't know how Hoenn does it over there but, here in Kalos, we have our Pokecenter and Pokemarts in the same building. Makes it easier since you'll be going to the Centers several times anyway and you don't have to walk or pay for a ride over to the Mart."[/color] Wave said as he pointed to a Center across the street. The road was slightly quiet so it was easier to get across and thus, rather than paying for a ride across the street, Wave simply motioned for Tony to follow him.

 The pair and their pokemon made it across the Southern Boulevard without an incident and walked inside the Center sitting at the corner. [color=#00B300]" Well, this is the Center mate. In the front is the Nurses' station and in the back of the Center are the Marts, normally. We should probably go get some supplies before we go anywhere."[/color] Wave said as he pointed to front desk which had a waiting nurse at it and a door which led further back into the Center. He walked over to the desk of the Mart and started to look at the products, wondering what he really would need before going to Santalune.

Anthony liked his new partner, the guy was cool and good company. [color=0054a6] "Well back home these are separate buildings but I can see how combining them is a bit more efficient,"[/color] he responded as he looked around surprised at the vast differences between regions. Jaws was equally amazed and eagerly explored the place going from one spot to another sniffing what he could. Truble instead remained by his side, being blind and all she didn't care much about exploring.[color=0054a6] "Well my girl I think it would be better if you chill in your ball until we are once again on the hunt,"[/color] Anthony told her. [color=630460]"Deino!"[/color] Trubel responded eager to leave that loud place. Anthony put her back in the ball and then went to join Wave on the mart.

 He noticed his new friend was inspecting the items and decided to help. [color=0054a6]"My aunt, the one who is taking me in while I'm here, told me the first gym was run by some bug loving photographer right?"[/color] he said while reaching for the antidotes and parlyz heals. [color=0054a6]"If bugs here are anything like the ones back home it is important to be prepared for their nasty surprises,"[/color] he explained. [color=0054a6]"And well potions are always welcome when they manage to land some blows,"[/color] Anthony added them to the cart Jaws had brought. [color=0054a6]"As for supplies don't worry my aunt Mary's husband promised he would cover my trip's food so I'll just tell him its rations for a group now. Roger is pretty chill, he'll gladly feed both of us,"[/color] Anthony informed as he organized their cart. 

[color=#00B300]"Well, that certainly saves us some time. Means I don't have to make meals for us. Though, I'll still probably make food for my pokemon. If you want, I can make a special meal plan for Truble and Jaws."[/color] Wave said as he opened his wallet. His Father had given him money for caring for the pokemon at the ranch for the past two years and Wave never really had anything to spend it on. He could afford to spend a few bills to pay for the potions and status heals. Though, he could probably also afford to cover everything's cost for about a month but he would prefer to only have to pay for the items and pokefood. [color=#00B300]"We should probably head out for now. I don't know if we'll really need all these items since rock types like Tyrunt are hardly effected by bug types. I'll have more need for them then you really with this girl here."[/color] Wave said as he paid for the items and scratched his Slakoth's head.

[color=0054a6]"That is true, I hope Jaws will enjoy himself fighting there,"[/color] Anthony replied. Once out of the mart Anthony invited Wave to sit so the new team could get to know each other a bit better. [color=0054a6]"So, why did you decide to begin this journey?"[/color] he asked.

[color=#00B300]"Hmm, I guess the reason that I started this was because I want to see what I want. I use to think about being a breeder but my Father was one and he made out to be a terrible Father. After that, I had no idea what I wanted to do so I decided to try the League. How about you mate?"[/color] Wave said as he passed Slakoth on to his lap.

[color=0054a6]"I want to be the among the best trainers in Kalos and later Hoenn if possible, It has always been my dream and now that my first two pokemon are Dragon I plan to conquer both leagues with only Dragon type pokemon," [/color] he took a pause to scratch Jaws before returning his attention towards Wave. [color=0054a6]"But for now I'll focus on my short term goal: Santalune. What do you know about that gym leader Viola?"[/color]

[color=#00B300]"All I really know is that she uses bug types. They probably have some grass type moves with them which would be a hinderance if you had a pure ground type. It should be easy to beat her. You'll have difficulty with the Fairy type gym in Laverre but you should have the skill to beat Valerie."[/color] Wave stated rather plainly. Honestly, he knew little about what fairy types were even weak against so he wasn't any help there.

[color=0054a6] "I see, well in that case we'll just have to train hard and be ready for anything, right partner?"[/color] He asked Jaws.[color=a0410d] "Runt!"[/color] the Tyrunt responded with energy. [color=0054a6] "Hey Wave, since you know a lot about pokemon what do you feed them here in Kalos? I mean for contests, like in Hoenn we give them pockeblocks and over on Sinnoh they feed them poffins. Kalos must have its own thing right?"[/color] Anthony asked. Even if he was soley focusing on beating gyms it would be nice to know in case a contest ever showed up.

[color=#00B300]"Well, we feed them pokepuffs to keep them happy. They are sort of like little muffins for pokemon. From what I know, they taste a bit weird but can be eat by people like us. But, I prefer to feed the pokemon at the ranch my homemade mix of berries, meat, and vegies for them to eat."[/color] Wave said after thinking for a little while. He hadn't thought about pokepuffs in a long time and it had been forever since he had left the ranch. It was certainly something he didn't do often anymore.

They chatted for a while longer, sharing lots of facts about each other and talked about all sorts of topics before finally deciding to move on. Anthony had suggested to go back to the lab as he had accidentally left his duffel bag laying in the sanctum and was worried he would lose it. The group quickly crossed the street and recovered the missing bag but when proceeding to the exit Anthony got distracted.

[color=0054a6]"Dude,"[/color] he caught Wave's attention.[color=0054a6] "Look at that girl,"[/color] he mouthed, discreetly pointing at a female holding a noibat near the pokeball bins, she was clearly looking around waiting for someone. [color=0054a6]"Should I go talk to her? She's very attractive,"[/color] he asked combing his hair and carefully adjusting his hat.

[color=#00B300]"I guess she's pretty cute. You could go talk to her or, if you are too chicken, I'll introduce."[/color] Wave said before he was cut off by the armo of his Slakoth covering his mouth. He struggled a few moments to get her of his head before she simply slide back down to his shoulders. Wave took a couple of quick breaths to regain his composure before he spoke again. [color=#00B300]"Well, I guess I'm not introducing anybody to anybody. I've got my own traveling Mother here. I guess I'll call you Mum then girl. Do you like that mate?"[/color] Wave said to his slakoth who slowly blinked at him and then scratched her head. He took that as a yes and simply didn't pressure the point since he wouldn't have gotten an answer from her in the first place.

Anthony laughed at the couple before making up his mind.[color=0054a6] "Well, let's see what happens" [/color] he sighed before making his way towards the girl. Anthony was usually very confident when it came to talking but as he got closer to that girl and could see she was prettier than he had imagined he was at a loss for words. [color=0054a6]"Um... Noibat,"[/color] he managed to clumsily mumble when he stood right in front of her.

[color=#00B300]"Sorry about my friend here mate, seems he really likes your Noibat. His name is Tony, I'm Wave, this tyrunt here is Jaws, and my slakoth here is Mum."[/color] Wave said as he made a save for Tony. He of course was looking to have some fun with the woman and the probably embarresed Tony. His remark about the Noibat was a clever cover which Wave felt was able to cover Tony's true reason of walking up to her. Wave simply waited for the woman's response as Mum crawled further up his shoulders to see the woman whom Wave was talking to.
