Pent's extremely unconvincing confirmation that he was fine bugged Devon. He wasn't really the bossy type, so coming up with a reply to the crippled man was difficult. A short laugh sneaked out of his mouth before the teen shook his head to Pent. [color=darkturquoise]"No way. I'm not gonna leave ya Pent. We can take our time. Really, I don't mind taking it slow."[/color] With that said, Devon refaced the road in front of him as he continued walking along at a comfortable pace. The smile on his face hid the bit of guilt he had in the back of his mind. [color=darkturquoise][i]We are going pretty slow.....I did want to try to get to the next city before sunset but at this rate? That's not happening....Argh! What am I doing? I sound like such a dick.....It's not like Pent or Sirina can help it.....I just need to suck it up, and accept the fact that this journeys gonna be a bit slower then usual......Ugh...Maybe there's some halfway point that we can stop at? Before Vertigo? This Route's way longer then I thought it would be.....[/i][/color] 

Then Liza spoke up, causing Devon to look over at the red head and frown. [color=darkturquoise]"If you want to Liza, go on ahead. But can ya hold on for a minute?"[/color] 

Sirina handed back his Pokégear, and Devon took the phone from her gently. Flashing the girl a smile as he tapped along the touch screen to search for the Map application. [color=darkturquoise]"Nah, you'll do great Sirina. It's easier then it looks. When we get where we're going, I can show you a few things too if you want."[/color]

The Trainer's fingers danced along the Pokégear's map screen, his right index finger settling on a key spot of Route 701 that had a red and white marker hovering over it. His face lit up as he felt the awkward tension ease up on him. [color=darkturquoise]"Hey guys check it out! There's a Pokémon Center further down this Route! If we keep going, we can probably make it there before the sun sets. How about we just stay there for the night and decide what we all wanna do in the morning?"[/color]
