[Center][color=7ea7d8]-Yuu Nozomu : New Bark Town-[/color] As the girl spoke her part truthfully, Yuu was glad she thought that way as he wasn't one to disagree with rational speech. Rotating his head towards Gwen, he saw her scold him for his own insolence on the matter. Mere seconds later he found himself staring a bit longer at her, eyes without remorse, but shock about how she quickly dropped it. Pondering on it, Yuu did understand why as it wasn't something to dwell on for too long. Letting it go, Yuu gave a small, but truthful smile before pushing his bangs away from his hidden eye. [color=7ea7d8]"Well if your the designated brat of the group, you've got your work cut out for you since you've acted much more mature than either of us. I may have been trying to demonstrate a point to her, but I feel I was a bit of a dick while doing so... I could try to clear things up with her once she comes back by apologizing a second time..."[/color] As he spoke, he was a bit guilty still, but he also conveyed a lax presentation of himself by loosening his shoulders and letting them dangle more. Even though she seemingly wasn't in the mood, he said his piece... although it was a tad bit rude do her to just do that. However, she also answered a forlorn question that finally came to a close. Yuu really wanted to just facepalm so hard right as he honestly never knew the door was unlocked... nor did he carry out the task he marks himself down for which made it even worse. Looking to the side, he slightly furrowed his eyebrows as he scratched the back of his neck with two fingers. Frowning slightly due to his own shortcomings, he sighed softly too himself before questioning himself. [color=7ea7d8]"Why didn't I seriously check the door earlier,"[/color] he uttered to himself as he let his working hand come back to waist level. As Gwen shouted to the slumbering Avery, Yuus eyes darted over to the scene where the boy automatically responded to the girl by slowly trudging over to the lab, and entering in. Yuu barely managed to make out a faint smile that was targeted for... someone by Avery. Yuu shrugged before taking notice of a red-headed girl with hair that looked to be obscuring her vision. The boy wondered if she had the same looking impedement he did since on of his eyes was usually hidden from sight. He couldn't honestly tell if the girl didn't notice him as she did shuffle into the lab. Being the one lonely trainer out here, Yuu jammed his foot between the door and the opening. Analyzing the area around him, Yuu scouted to find any excess trainers lingering about but none were present. With his analysis finished, Yuu quietly opened the door and slipped in conspicuously, blending in amongst the crowd of... one? From what he saw, everyone was procuring a free seat amongst the benches and chairs within the lab. He counted only two people though amongst the group which left him beffudled. Yuu swore he saw Avery enter the lab... [color=7ea7d8][i]"Maybe he is a ninja?... Nah, Avery wouldn't sneak around here... wait."[/i][/color] Yuu noticed a set of doors that were open that lead into the back of the lab. The boy pondered if that was where the lanky guy hid himself. Before given a chance to further investigate, a familiar boy bursted through the doors. He was sure that he saw him before, however his memory wouldn't commit itself to giving up that info. This left him a bit bugged mentally and he crossed his arms in a struggle to recall the boy. As the assistant spoke with cheer embedded in him, Yuu took note of how the short boy in glasses fumbled over a couple of his words. The boy honestly could not tell if he was jittery with excitement or plain nervous. Either way, he introduced himself as Alfred Elm, an assistant of his grandpa. [color=7ea7d8]"Pleasure to meet you Alfred, my name is Yuu Nozomu,"[/color] Yuu replied to the possibly rhetorical speech, smiling at him calmly. [color=7ea7d8]"You know, maybe we could take this time to all get acquainted with each other."[/color] Rotating his head to the other remaining trainers in the presence of the assistant, smirking at them before jamming his hands into his coat pockets. Quietly scanning over the two, Yuu was sure the girl with a striped jacket and torn jeans never introduced herself to anyone in the vicinity yet. Feeling this was the time to break the ice, Yuu strode over to the red-headed chick in an attempt to maybe learn about who she was and why she wants a pokemon. Once he was adjacent to the girl, he shined her a smile before attempting to strike up a conversation with her. Withdrawing his hands from his pockets, he let them swing to the side, limp. [color=7ea7d8]"You've been pretty quiet all this time, nervous miss,"[/color] Yuu quizzed her, still keeping a smile on his face as he tried to pierce pass her hair and look at her eyes. As he struggled to find where they were within the messy red jungle, Yuu continued on as he wasn't done with this conversation and would not let it ends if he couldn't see the color in her eyes. [color=7ea7d8]"My name is Yuu Nozomu, the guy who is going to conquer the pokemon league... or at least try anyways, heh..."[/color] Chuckling slightly at the confident assessment, that was one of his tasks he was aiming to accomplish on his journey. Yuus smile was bold and unyielding, a contrast to the awkward one he was showing earlier. Going on, Yuu ruffled his hair a bit before finishing up what he started. [color=7ea7d8]"Oh, I almost forgot to ask, what's your name?"[/color][/center]
