Danny glanced at the arriving 'Fary'. Yup, it was the two girls from before...and judging by what she directed her words too, he was being ignored. Nonetheless, he tried to keep his smile, and continued with a reply. "It's alright. There was no harm done," he answered – his cross Ini proved otherwise. "It's nice to meet you, Fary. My name is Daniel, or Danny for short. I'm from Slateport City in Hoenn myself, though I've been moving around frequently in my life. I've been to Nimbasa, in fact."

Now aware of the fact that the two girls, Fary and Aeris, were friends, he bit his lip and muttered to himself, realizing one problem: Danny had no friends here, and he was going to be alone in this if he didn't at least have a human companion along with him. Thankfully they were all going to walk down the same road up to Cerulean, but what were the chances he would get to befriend anyone later in his journey? [i]Maybe going lone-wolf isn't all that bad,[/i] he reassured himself while following the crowd toward what seemed to be Professor Oak's lab. [i]But...these Trainers are adults, and I'm a kid.[/i] Already he felt intimidated.
