Joshua's extravagant description of contests never ceased to undo her interest, strengthening it even further, though she wouldn't admit it. She noted down that Redcoast was the place to go, making sure to also note that there were training institutes for those who wanted training in the contest department. She wasn't sure about 'making it big', however it seemed like a great, unconventional way to train Shyn; acquiring an edge in any way would surely prompt them ahead of the others. Though at his mention of being broke, Ren felt her gut knot a little out of guilt. [color=lightblue]"I'll be sure to repay you when I have the finds to do so."[/color] Ren stated simply, the edges of her lips gently curling towards a smile, though not quite there yet. 

Happiness turned to inquisitiveness as Joshua spoke of the All-Star: a Pokemon capable of contending in (and winning) all five categories. Her eyes turned to Shyn, whom had been sleeping on her shoulders for half the contest, despite the noise. She wasn't quite sure just yet, however she felt he had what it took to at least compete in all five categories. He was certainly cool, though had a cute, playful, adorable side to him. His toughness knew no bounds, and with a little work on his hair, she could imagine him pulling off a real beauty look. Not to mention he was intelligent and clever enough to act on his own accordingly, should they be separated in battle. It could be a long shot, however perhaps there was merit to training Shyn in the art of Pokemon Contests. Only time would tell.

Her attention immediately returned to Joshua as he asked for her number. There was no harm in doing so, and with Joshua such an excellent source of contest information, she figured it would be worthwhile. Although... she didn't really know how to operate a phone very well. [color=lightblue]"I don't see why not. Though... I'm rather poor with technology, so it may take me awhile to get accustomed to such things."[/color] It only took Ren about five minutes to find her phone number, with some help from the other two, however with it found they managed to exchange contact details, should they need to do so. [color=lightblue]"As for questions... I plan on sticking around a little longer in Pureplain. See the gym, give my farewells and thanks to the professor, and see what else there is to see before heading out. My journey may not take me directly to Redcoast, though I'm sure I'll reach it soon. That said, where will you two choose to venture to about Isson?"[/color]
