[Center][color=7ea7d8]-Yuu Nozomu : New Bark Town-[/color]

As the boy quizzed the girl, she responded rather swiftly to his voice, however not in the way Yuu expected her to. The cute redhead threw in another question, to which bemused the lavender haired rookie trainer as he tilted his head to the side slightly. Yuu became mentally quizzical why she found that it was completely unnecessary to not introduce yourself after answering a simple question. His left eyebrow going up, he was positive that this girl was most certainly not from Johto.

[color=7ea7d8][i]"... I'm pretty sure it's not in our nature here to introduce ourselves after striking up a conversation. I'll admit, it was a bit unexpected that she would just latch onto that process of thought, but whatever I guess?... and now she's struggling to figure out how to properly complement this place... is this some sort of rich chick who has been confined to her mansion her whole life or something? The way she's acting is just uncomfortably... plus, calling this a village instead of a town makes it sound like the people here are inferior to her or some sort of inbred population... please let it just be ignorance as it would be distasteful if she was feigning goodwill."[/i][/color]

A few sparks of suspiciousness prodded his brain about her locale of original dwelling as that would give him hints to where she lived before hand. As the girl continued to go on without fail, she came upon the part of introducing herself, along with adding a little hint to where she came from. [color=7ea7d8]"Cerise Fontaine, eh,"[/color] he muttered confusingly to himself, not even having prior knowledge or hearing about her. Yuu was one for news and all, so he should of at least heard about her somewhere... the boy crossed his arms and sighed softly before looking at the girl yet again.

[color=7ea7d8]"Eh, apologies, but I don't think I've ever heard of you or anything. With most articles I've read, most of them solely focus on this guy Glenn and his whole idiotic spiel about pokemon, along with clippings of people trying to figure out what's wrong with them... er, sorry for going off on a minor tangent Cerise, best I quell these rampant thoughts for now."

"At any rate, my name is Yuu Nozomu; it's a pleasure to meet you Cerise."[/color]

Yuu gave the girl a pleasurable smile before putting his hand out in hopes she would shake it. At most, he felt that this would possibly clear up any misconceptions with the girl, along with her possibly giving him an answer to if Elm was home. Either way, she gave him the answer to which gladly accepted... before retrieving his hand and returning it to the former location it was in.

A small frown began to form on the boys face as he began to furrow his eyebrows at her after her totally subtle insult. Yuu was honestly hoping today would be a better day, but alas, trouble was sure to spawn somewhere. Mischief was forming in the boys eyes as it glimmered hastily upon her uptight and haughty attitude. He knew he was probably going to feel bad for this later, but it would most likely be worth it.

Snapping his right hands fingers, he acted as if he made a breakthrough while widening his eyes and pointing at Cerise excitedly. [color=7ea7d8]"Oooh, I thought I didn't recall you, but now I do! How did I miss that?!"[/color] There was a twinge of sarcasm embedded in his voice, but Yuu did his best to act like an adoring fan... one that wasn't annoying, useless, and stalked you constantly.

Giving the girl a chance to speak for a bit, he waited for her to make her piece before slightly reverting his frown back to a smile that was slowly creeping upwards. His eyes widened and became narrow as he shot out his assumption to her. [color=7ea7d8]"Your Cerise Fontaine! One of the most infamous people around that makes really bad impressions with everyone she meets! Oh my goodness, I'm so glad I met you!"[/color]

Ok, maybe he was going a bit too far there, but trying to carry herself as if she was a queen to him a peasant was an unprecedented way to make a lasting impression. Toning down his sarcasm, Yuu made sure to speak in a much more sympathetic voice to Cerise to show he didn't mean to be that rude. Slightly frowning yet again, Yuu crossed his arms as he stared at Cerise before speaking his mind to her.

[color=7ea7d8]"Apologies for leading you on like that, but insulting a person and then telling them to get out of your way isn't very ladylike if that's what you were aiming for. Honestly, I don't know why your pretending like your better than me, but if this is the way you act towards everyone you meet, your not going to make many friends obviously. Even if it's minor, try not to act bold towards another person whilst filled with hubris, because that's the impression I got of you. I may not know you much Cerise, but I wish you no ill will as I don't want to see you get hurt, especially if your departing on a journey with that friend of yours."[/color]

As the boy set aside his part for the taking, he awkwardly smiled at her before jamming his hands into his coat pockets and leaned a few centimeters aaway from the door. As he did so, he was a bit guilty for acting like a jerk as evidenced by his disgruntled look and slanted shoulders. Yuu, feeling he answered the wrong questions felt maybe he could try the door instead.

Before he got the chance to reach for the handle, he caught a glimpse of two familiar faces he saw around town when running errands - Avery and his sister who he never got properly acquainted with. The chick, although he never really spoke noticed she was sporting an Own Tempo tank top. He chuckled slightly before gently smiling a bit. The band was an interest in bunch due to the music they created which he enjoyed listening to on several occasions while at home.

At most, as they approached, Yuu continued to survey the area, catching sight of a lingering redheaded chick whose eyes wear obscured from his file of vision. He didn't know what to make of her as he saw her grapple the bags strap as she made her way over. The clothes she wore look good on her, and he pondered on he personality too since he just encountered a redhead that acted... rather prideful.

At this point, Yuu easily discerned the amount of people that were possibly procuring a pokemon today - Avery, his sister, Cerise, Cerise friend, a girl with red hair, and him. As his eyes darted around between each person he noted, with the exception of Cerise since he got to know her [i]very[/i] well.

As the duo he took note of made it up to the lab, Yuu almost forgot Avery dwarfed him due to his immense size of monstrous proportions. His eyes slightly widening, he kept his cool about things as the giant began to...

...

Knock on the lab door that wasn't his size while making a comment that sounded almost as if a child said it. His mouth was slightly agape, he rotated his head away a bit, facepalming at the whole spiel. This was utterly ridiculous to him as a grown man was stereotyping a fantasy giant. Then again, why was he bothered? Everyone had their own personality traits, so why did it matter that Avery was so... eccentric.

Right, he forgot Ms. "I'm Superior Than You Fools" was still here... so she was probably going to make an incorrect assessment.

As he let his arm down, he watched as Averys sister waltzed up towards the three as Avery continued his relentless assault with repetitive questioning of if Alfie was home. The girl seemed curious to know if they were both here to receive a pokemon today, and acted almost... timid from what he could discern. This was one way of definitely breaking the ice, but another was with a fighting type pokemon. Pleasantly smiling at the girl, he evoked a response to possibly cement a friendship maybe?

[color=7ea7d8]"Yeah, I'm here for a pokemon today also. I can acutely presume you and Avery are here to procure pokemon of your own today too... hey, nice Own Tempo tanktop by the way, didn't know you were a fan of them too."[/color] Honestly, he never saw the girl with the shirt other than today, so he was pleasantly surprised by that, despite the assumption she was a fan.

Woo hoo, no need for a Machamp on Conkeldurr to assist him here!

[color=7ea7d8]"Before I deviate much, I never got to know your name, despite the fact that we've probably lived in this same town together for quite some time. My name is Yuu Nozomu, yours Miss?"[/color]

Yuu never even noticed Avery lumbering away before going for a snooze as he was much more interested and hopeful about this girl. [/center]
