[color=f49ac2]“Aww, look at them! They’re adorable!”[/color]

Well, she had to admit to herself. That was kind of adorable. Even the fluffball of a pokemon seemed to be oddly cute in this situation. Still, she made no attempt to acknowledge it. Instead, she focused on Professor Elm. Well, she had everything that she would need for the trip, at least until they got to a Pokemart so they could buy more supplies. Still, she could use a map, and it seemed there were only three left. Hrm...nah, she'd be fine without one. She'd just take one of the others if she had to. Chances were, she was one of the only people here that could read one competently.

As Elm continued to talk about them needing to stay together she gave an impatient huff as she reached down and carefully plucked her Nidoran off of the Mareep, making sure to not touch its fur. [color=662d91]"Alright little guy. Nap times over."[/color] She said, getting a somewhat annoyed response from the pokemon. [color=662d91]"Oh shut it."[/color] She huffed, cradling the pokemon in her arms again. [color=662d91]"Now stay put or I'll put you back in the pokeball, alright?"[/color] He seemed to understand that at least, and gave a small huff of annoyance as he rolled his eyes.

Soon professor Elm had finished speaking. Well, now that the old man had finished, could they get going?

[color=f26522]“I think you can do it. Be the best that is. Well, you’ve kind of got to now that you’ve said it. I’m Avery, by the way. Glad to meetcha. I’m looking forward to seeing you win.”[/color]

...what? She actually had to visibly process what he had just said. Did he...completely miss that insult? Was he just dense? Or did he really just not care?...well, either way, he was annoying her. She didn't need some loser encouraging her. She could do just fine at motivating herself without the help of some probably 3rd rate trainer. In response, she simply scoffed. [color=662d91]"I'd say I was glad to meet ya too, but It'd be a lie."[/color] She replied.[color=662d91] "All of you, are my competition. I don't intent to get friendly with any of you. But thanks for the encouragement. I'll make sure to think of you for more than a second when I do win."[/color]

With that, she walked away from the group, grabbing a few of the repels, and the last map, ignoring the new guy or the fact that Peggy had started to hyperventilate. Might as well get the last one, no one else seemed to keep on getting it and it would always be good to have another.[/center]
