It had not escaped his notice that she was indeed quite popular with the townsfolk though they really loved her for her. Lesley, for as terrifying as she was when she really wanted to be, was a genuine person that cared for the townsfolk of Lakewatch Town and the dragons of the lake. [i][color=8882be]Could I ever be someone like her? Or is that ideal out of my reach for someone like me?[/color][/i] He thought to himself. His train of thought was interrupted Leslie's loud, high-pitched whistle... And she turned back at him with a smile? [color=8882be]"What do you mean?"[/color] It did not escape his notice that the people around him gave them a great berth as if they knew what was coming. That's when he noticed something in the sky, something approached them at blinding speeds. The next thing he knew, Lesley had grabbed him and jumped. They landed on something, and he held on for dear life on whatever he could as they rocketed up into the air though they eventually leveled out. This gave him enough time to frantically pull out his Pokedex and scanned the creature he rode on. [i][color=6ecff6][center]Pokédex Entry #373 – Salamence, the Dragon Pokémon. Bagon’s dream of flying finally comes true, and it celebrates by flying all over and sometimes spouting flames at random. While associated with the joy of flying, if enraged Salamence is known to go uncontrollably berserk, rampaging and scorching all in its way.[/center][/color][/i] Basil thought to himself with great admiration, [i][color=8882be]What an amazing Pokemon.[/color][/i] It was one thing to read the entry or even see them on TV used by trainers overseas, but it was another to experience it himself. Now that there was a moment of calm, he finally looked around and had his breath taken away from the view. Of course, one would think that it would be odd for someone who lived in a floating city to be taken with a view though there was something else to it. To feel the breeze upon one's skin as they raced through the skies and see the bounty of nature was incomparable. In response to Lesley's question, he said without thinking with the biggest grin on his face, [color=8882be]"This is incredible!"[/color] However, it would have to come to an end. From the distance he could see that they were rapidly approaching two very pointing islands, so they must have been landing soon. Any moment, except they weren't. [color=8882be]"What're you doing?"[/color] asked Basil when he felt Lesley's grip, but before he could even protest he was pulled off the speeding Salamance with the armored woman who skidded with her feet while holding him. Was she superhuman? Anyway, their very stylish entrance attracted quite the crowd of dragons. Lesley really was loved by the dragons. She eventually did let him go and pushed him away like an unwanted pest which in the current context was not entirely incorrect so she could play with the dragons while he went upon his business. [color=8882be]"Believe me, I couldn't forget even if I wanted to."[/color] Basil could feel the gazes of the Lakewatchers burn a hole in him. He turned his attention towards them and gave them all a polite bow of his head to acknowledge that he was indeed aware of them. Hopefully they would figure out that he had no intention to cause any more trouble than he already had though it was better to ask for forgiveness than approval. With that it was his time to now explore the island. Obviously, Basil had never seen so many dragon-types before in his life, but it was incredible, nonetheless. Of course, he read the entries of whatever little scaly and sometimes furry critter he came upon from a safe distance. [color=8882be]"God they're so cute..."[/color] He mumbled to himself. Well, not the Druddigon, but Druddigon was pretty cool. In particular he found himself quite taken with the Dratini and Deino that wandered around though he knew he couldn't be greedy. He could only take along one young dragon if its mother agreed to it. That was the deal after all. Still, he could not let himself get carried away too quickly. There may not ever be a chance where he could explore the island as uninhibited now. He decided that he needed to explore the caves within the protrusions that pierced the sky. Basil looked up at one of the spires and said, [color=8882be]"Fortune favors the bold."[/color] Well, hopefully it did.
