Being from the Kalos region, Marco was further away from Hoenn than any other region. As the two walked through the crowd, Rivet walked beside her trainer, having a difficult time not running off and hiding. She hated crowds. Marco pat her reassuring on the head.

I feel like I could run a mile after being stuck on a boat for half a week,"[/b] he shook his head and continued to walk around. Might as well explore for a a little.

Being a professor's aide was nothing less than straining.[/center]
