[center][u][b]Route to Mauville City: 4:55 pm[/b][/u][/center]
The sun was shining brightly, it really was a perfect day to go walking with his teammates. Deciding since this morning he'd go to the next city nearby, hearing their was a magic show which peaked his curiosity. He made it most of the way there thanks to one of his teammates flying him close. Following beside and around him were most of his pokemon outside their pokeballs which was incredibly common to Shawn getting a few odd looks from various passers-by's. His Espeon, Soul on his left side. His Luxray, August on his right side. Behind him, his Scizor, Blade. Lastly, his Riolu, Melody which was being held in Shawn's arms, since his back was currently occupied with a full backpack of supplies as they all approached the city able to see some of it's buildings in the distance. Shawn was talking back and forth between his teammates, laughing at a joke being told. Soul was used to being the translator of sorts making Shawn able to more effectively understand what they were all saying. Shawn looked up at the skies as they had turned quite gloomy and the dark cloud loom overhead covering the skies rather quickly, he frowned disappointed letting out a sigh looking like it was going to rain knowing they'd better get some shelter.

[color=f26522]“Well we better hurry before it starts pouring. I don't want my supplies getting too wet. But, at least we're almost there.”[/color] Shawn spoke out looking at them all, they all gave a non-verbal nod and smile, except August who just gave a smug smirk, closing his eyes sitting down.

[color=2e3192]<”Well. I for one, would love a little rain.”>[/color] August states in a very self-satisfied tone. Though it was only sarcasm, opening one of his eyes to see Shawn's reaction. Shawn rolled his eyes.

[color=f26522]“I'm sure your fine with it,”[/color] Shawn replied back. [color=f26522]“Come on everyone.”[/color] Shawn added as he started to run to Mauville City, with the rest of them following in close proximity until Blade prodded August in the back of the head.

[color=ed1c24]<“Bet I can beat you in a race to the welcome sign!”>[/color] Blade spoke playfully quickly dashing off ahead for the city. August took his challenge, immediately dashing off to catch up with him refusing to lose. Shawn watched them both go ahead as he looked down at Soul who looked aggravated. 

[color=92278f]<“Boys...”>[/color] Soul sighed. Shawn stopped running and reached down to pet Soul's head as she looked up at him with a smile. Shawn is interrupted before he could speak by Melody tugging gently on his shirt looking at him with pleading eyes. Shawn knew that she wanted to return to her pokeball, as he reaching in his pocket and put her back inside. As Shawn cleared his throat feeling his mouth was a little dry, as he was getting a little thirsty he quickly pulled out his large flask of water to take a drink, putting it back in his backpack when he finished.

[color=f26522]“Let them have their fun. Come on, let's catch up.”[/color] Shawn said looking at Soul as he and she began to run to catch up with the other two. Shawn being able to run easier without having to worry about Melody's comfort. With some effort he caught up to them both as Luxray big grin it was clear who won the race.

Shawn noticed how pack full of people the town was even upon first glance, he didn't want people to chastise him for crowding up the place with his team. Shawn decided it would be best to put most of them back in the pokeballs for politeness sake, he didn't want another incident, he pulled out his pokeballs.

[color=f26522]“I don't want anyone to complain about you guys. I promise I let you guys out soon alright?”[/color] Shawn stated. August just nodded not really comfortable being around so many strangers. Blade looked more disappointed.

[color=ed1c24]<“Alright...”>[/color] Blade muttered. Shawn sympathized with him knowing he wanted to stay outside as he put them both inside their pokeballs. Knowing Soul wouldn't ever go in her ball even if he asked. Shawn began walking through the crowd of people looking around trying to find the magic show, that was supposed to be around here. The backpack let out a loud musical chime as Shawn remember he promised his dad that he would call him to let him know he made it. Shawn walked to a nearby bench and sat down to rest his legs and reach through his bag to find his cellphone, which he only had because his father forced him into having one. Shawn looks at the cellphone seeing and reading the text he had been sent a from his father.[b] “Hope you made it to the city! Don't forget to call! Love you.”[/b] as Soul hops up on the bench and sits looking intensely at all the people walking by. Glaring daggers at a small child who was laughing and running a little to close to them. Shawn looked at Soul as he placed his hand gently on her head.

[color=f26522]“Well let's try to find where the magic show is...I can call my dad after that. He worries too much.”[/color] Shawn says as he put his phone back and started to make his way to the magic show finally coming across it seeing all the large colorful posters. Suddenly Blade came out his pokeball with a innocent smile. [color=f26522]“You want to watch the show that badly too?”[/color] Shawn asked Blade as he nodded in response. Shawn smiled back. [color=f26522]“Alright. I guess it really doesn't really matter.”[/color] Shawn answered figuring it wouldn't be that big a deal, not wanting to say no. Besides, Shawn just wanted to have a good day, one of the few times his parent let him go on his own with their permission, so far away from his home. He was ready to meet new faces and talk to all new sorts of pokemon, well and some humans too, he promised his father to be a little more social to his own kind, whatever that was supposed to mean...
