[I]I've always loved traveling...?[/I] What kind of non sequitur was [b]that[/b]? The boy was not saying something. It was either that, or he had thought better of what he was going to say, and she was being paranoid for no reason. Probably that one.

"Travel [I]is[/I] exciting, isnt it?" Regan smiles softly. He probably would have had a fun time as a trainer. That said... she had to wonder what challenges being a Ranger would have in store for her. It would be strange, to be without her team... but she'd manage. Others have, before her, so she can do it, too.

After a few moments, the rangers they had met on the docks had addressed them, and they had been assigned their groups. Just like that, they've been given a long-term team. Was this how it felt? It was a curious change of perspective, to think of this as being a pokemon caught by a trainer and assigned an arbitrary team. It was a curious thought.

During the speech, that Blaziken cosplayer gave harsh glares to any among them that had dared to stir amongst the crowd. Regan, of course, behaved herself perfectly, though perhaps was distracted by that same person. Being around that guy was going to be dangerous to her head...

That female ranger was pretty shy, though, wasn't she? It was a little strange that someone would put her in the position to give the speech... had she volunteered? It was good of her to try, at least. Regan approached the woman, smiling softly. "Keep up the hard work, I'm sure you can do it." She nods her head, as though to affirm herself, before going off to line up. "That's all. Later." She leaves with a small wave.

Eventually, she groups up with her team. She turns as she hears her name mispronounced. "Hiryuu." She corrects calmly while looking the man over once. "You must be Rena Sato." He seemed normal enough. The other man seemed unpleasant at first, but after a moment of watching him, she got the feeling that maybe he wasn't that unpleasant. Nnn, maybe. "So, where ya from? Hoenn, m'self."
