[color=Ivory][h1][center]Jaden Locke: Route 1[/center][/h1][/color] [i]New friends have arrived[/i] Jaden nodded slightly at Vix's decision, and he started to follow behind her, but befor ehe could take to many steps, the Vulpix was quick to suddenly return. Confused, he was about o ask why when Vix turned his attention to a girl and a guy standing off to the side. He (for once) was able to catch on quickly, figuring that they were another team. While he was glad to be able to intiate his first fight, their was just one, itty-bitty problem that he felt needed addressing. . . [color=Ivory]"Vix, we aren't exactly close to a pokemon center around here, and I'd hate to have someone start their journey as a trainer by walking through the whole of the first route unable to do much.[/color] Jaden stated, but quickly rose up a hand to block off any complaint that Vix might have. [color=Ivory]"But, I'll ask them if they're interested in one, though I doubt they will be, and if not, then we can see if they're willing to have one closer to Viridian City, okay?[/color] Vix would have just enough time to reply to her master before the other Trainer called out to the two of them, asking them where they're going. The girl's smile was wasted on Jaden, as all he saw was a nice girl coming to say hi and that was about as deep as he read into her features. [color=Ivory]"Ah, yes, it's going to be our next stop after a quick detour at Viridian City to get some good traveling clothes for my partner here. While absolute beautiful, her Kimono does make traveling long distances rather difficult at best.[/color] Jaden would then reach out with his hand in greeting, quick to introduce both himself and his partner once he'd answered their question. [color=Ivory] My name, in case you may be wondering, is Jaden Locke, and my Vulpix partner here is Vix, and we were wondering if you too would be willing to engage in a quick battle, preferably when we're near a Pokemon center in Viridian but I leave the final decision up to the two of you. Whether you agree or not, you're free to join us on our way, if you wish."[/color] After he said this, he'd give a quick look towards Vix, his eyes almost begging her in those quick moments to be polite to these new people.
