Basil smiled at her and said, [color=8882be]"That works with me. Have a safe trip back."[/color]

So after exchanging numbers and goodbyes Basil went to the docks to buy a fishing rod and get a ticket for the ferry when a random fisherman gave him an Old Rod. It certainly wasn't the best quality, but free was free so it was not like he could complain.

[color=8882be]Thank you, sir?[/color] Random fisherman did not need his thanks. He simply did what he did and went back to fishing. Truely a hero. 

Well, considering that he had just received an Old Rod, he gave it one cast out into the lake and without much effort reeled in the depressingly weak Magikarp. It stared at him with a vacant expression though it was hard to tell if it had no thoughts or if it was staring into his soul. Never before had Basil seen such a pathetically weak Pokemon and yet, he felt an odd kinship with the fish. He tapped it with a Pokeball and let it be absorbed into the ball. 

Eventually, Basil would buy a ticket for the ferry for Lakewatch Town. After a while being on the ferry, he would ask any passengers about their destination. Nothing to fancy, he just asked about the town itself beyond general information. After that he would just sit around and play some random tunes on his mandolin just to kill the time until they arrived.
