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

Yuu took note of the girls blush deepening as she pushed herself off of his body, Mattie apologizing profusely as she did so. The lavender haired boy chuckled nervously and gave her a smile. The boy pushed himself up from the ground, ricocheting upwards onto his two feet. [color=7ea7d8]"Hey, it isn't your fault; you were just a victim to unprecedented circumstances,"[/color] Yuu spoke calmly as he maintained whatever eye contact he could with the shrinking rose.

Yuus gaze lingered for a few seconds on Mattie to be completely sure that she was relitively stable. She did appear fine with no bruises or scratch on her being, but something so sudden might of shakers rosy red-head up a little. His smile did disperse slightly as he heard a rather passive-aggressive comment from another in the vicinity. His heart rotated to face Gwen who seemed aloof and uncaring about this situation? Right now was not the best of times to try to live up to what she calls herself.

[color=7ea7d8][i]"... Gwens attitude about this whole predicament is not exactly helping anyone... in fact, I think it could of made these turn of events more tense than before..."[/i][/color] Yuu thought to himself, his face forming a slight pout before sighing sadly at these turn of events. [color=7ea7d8]"Uh Gwen,"[/color] Yuu responded, his voice softly resonating towards her. Yuu please to himself that she would take the obvious hint he was about to give her.[color=7ea7d8]"That isn't going to help diffuse the situation if we just start a fight in the lab... I don't want anyone else to get caught up in this unnecessary dispute."[/color]

Hopefully that could be enough to snap her out of that uncaring state of mind... [color=7ea7d8][i]"Alright... as long as nothing peculiar happens from this point forward, we might be fine? Hopefully..."[/i][/color] Yuu Jynxed himself as a few moments later, a refreshed guy came into the lab holding... a soaked towel. Yuu couldn't tell why he had a towel in his hand and why he asked if there was a place to hang it up. Yuu blinked a few times, befuddled a bit at this whole spiel as it was probably one of the less probablamatic predicaments he would respond to today.

Awkwardly smiling a bit, the teen acknowledged the other boy through direct eye contact. It would be rude to ignore the guy and not give him any info about what hanging a soggy towel could do in a lab... which had myriads of electrical equipment about. [color=7ea7d8]"Er, I don't think this is the best place to hang up a towel due to how wet it looks ajd with the specific types of equipment around... hey, maybe you could leave it outside to dry instead of in here! Not like any one is going to steal a towel or anything, right?"[/color]

Yeah, stealing towels would make for a great job obviously, especially wet ones.

At any rate, Yuu could only wonder if he was here for a pokemon or not. Out of all the people he had encountered, it was difficult to tell since he randomly bursted into the lab, quizzing if there was a place to allow his towel to dry. With that said, the whole situation began going down hill at a rather swift pace with Abigails arrogant response. She kept her focus solely on him and only him, despite the fact someone else was speaking to her also. Did she not have any manners?

...

Yeah..... fuck the slippery slope, lets just jump off it completely.

Abigail was off in her own world again, claiming that he was struggling behind her as always while pursuing something he could care less about. She couldn't come to terms with reality as he knew both of them were the same. If anyone did their research on the records, others than him, it would come to light that she was his equal... Yuu began to frown a tinge bit more as he shook his head slowly, his purple bangs flowing back and forth.

[color=7ea7d8]Being flashy and making a battle like it is some sort of act isn't skill... if you just compared our records..."[/color] Yuu murmured, his voice annoyed with the disillusionment she had. He furrowed his eyebrows, Yuus frown deepened spontaneously as she continued to let out a slew of insults. Cocky and brash because of trainer school... it irritated him to no end.

However, that look of harboring hatred was replaced with a curious look of shock at her other claims. [color=7ea7d8][i]"... what?! There is no way that can even be close to a fact!"[/i][/color] Yuu stared at the floor, his right hand going up to his lip to think. The boy tapped it in an even rhythm as if there was a catchy tune playing. If closely inspected, it was reminiscent of the beat in one of Own Tempos songs. [color=7ea7d8][i]"Knowing Abigail, she might of purposely be leaving out facts just to... oh..."[/i][/color]

Yeah, Yuu felt like she was using her charisma to tailor out hatred towards him. Yuus facial expression was neutral, but his eyes were directed essentially on the lavender haired instigator. [color=7ea7d8][i]"Going from stuck up speeches to juvenile crying with name calling... and she is friends with Abigail... ugh, I don't wish to generalize Cerise, but they are trying to manipulate the group into having a general dislike of me! I'm positive that is their intentions."[/i][/color]

Yuu let his arms dropped to the sides as she continued to spew out remark, never entertaining anyone else who wished to talk. Threats flew out that she would personally throw him out of the lab.

Yuu let out a somber frown, jutting his visible eyebrow up at her ridiculous claim. Guile was not an option here as he couldn't talk her out of it... however, he did know a way to settle the conflict. Telling the truth and then saying he would do it again, but would request for her to do the same... and end the charade... but first...

She decided to take a few steps forward and attempt to go on with her claims. [color=7ea7d8]"Well, looks like trying to honestly talk this out isn't going to work,"[/color] Yuu spoke up boldly. [color=7ea7d8]"I distaste this sort of meaningless violence... I'm not going to fight you, however..."[/color] Yuu stared the girl down with a piercing stare before acknowledging the others. Yuu silently mouthed out "Please, just leave this area... I'm sorry, but I don't want you guys to get involved."

With silent but swiftly oath, Yuu returns his gaze to the smaller girl, frowning as if he did not want to let this passionate event further transpire. [color=7ea7d8]"... however, I'm going to defend myself from your assault... I wish you wern't blinded by... whatever clouds your mind..."[/color] Sighing morosely, Yuu awaited her first attack. The only thing he could do now was try to pacify her with words. [color=7ea7d8]"Just one thing before you try to discard me... I did apologize to your friend because I didn't want to see her with that composure when talking to others... I meant her no ill will."[/color]

[color=7ea7d8][i]"... I'll just point out the facts later... again."[/i][/color]

Before the flurry of punches came flying, he heard a familiar voice shoot out. Yuu kept his guard high up just in case she went for a sucker punch an relocated his eyes to the entrance of the lab... to find that some other guy had run into the boy with a towel and Cerise with a disgusted look on her face. She immediately went on to scolding Abigail for her misdemeanor in... her familiar tone of voice. The same one that told him to leave the vicinity.

Eventually it was downplayed to the same fearful voice which gave off the impression of a nervous child talking. It was baffling how obvious she made herself to be! Did she honestly expect to escape unscathed at this point from her lie? As the two actors continued on, Abigail eventually gave Yuu the green light that she was going to do no harm. Yuu slowly began to lower his arms, the tension slowly easing not only out of him, but the room. Looking at the others, he took note of Gwen being... much closer than anticipated. Yuu honestly thought she was sitting down, but guess that was not the complete tale.

Next came the finale of this whole act, the outcome determined on how he used his tongue, whether as toughened iron or kindly fluff. This was to be anticipated seeing what came next as she began a cutesy act of acting all flustered in an adorable sense. Yuu wished he could believe it, but in reality could see through the facade well placed in front of him. It would help to probably be nice though as that would possibly dissipate some of the malicious feelings from earlier.

[color=7ea7d8]"... heh, guess it doesn't hurt to start over,"[/color] Yuu said, his neutral expression improving to a slight smile. He outstretched his hand outwards to the lady, and delicately grasped and shook it. Yuu preferred firm handshakes, but just in case she with was or decided to play the sensitive card, he went with being as careful as possible.

[color=7ea7d8]"It's a pleasure to meet you Cerise, I'm Yuu Nozomu."[/color] This whole thing was possibly a lie to her... however, as much as he hated the lie, he acted as genuine and generous as possible. Hostilities were at a temporary stand still for now, but it wouldn't hurt to try and get his point across... even though she might fail to grasp it.

[color=7ea7d8]"I don't know how things work in Kalos, but I do know we got off to a rough start... just remember, I don't bite unless bitten first."[/color] As the boy smiled at the girl, he gave her the hint that he wasn't buying what she was doing. Along with that, he was also given a subtle invitation about what might of transpired during their little... discussion.

Letting go of the girls soft hands, he let his arm drop back to his hips, the flesh encased in the dark blue cloth wiggling before coming to a close. With the newcomers in the general area, Yuu found that maybe they could continue with introductions? As the boy turned, ready to dart for the door to assist the two, Professor Elm made an impeccable introduction, slightly catching Yuu off guard. Jolting a bit, Yuu immediately rotated his head to face the Professor. Elm gave the whole explanation at a swift pace before beckoning the trainers to follow after him and turning away, Yuu watching as he slowly made his way forward.

[color=7ea7d8]"... well, I guess we can continue with introductions later,"[/color] Yuu commented as he rubbed the back of his neck, his smile still glimmering. Turning his head back to its original position, he found himself staring at... a cute blonde girl in a nice shade of green. She had a nervous disposition as he barely caught the girl mumbling something under her breath. Yuu couldn't exactly pinpoint the words coming from her mouth, but he responded to the girl with a friendly smile before saying one final sentence to everyone before departing deeper into the lab.

[color=7ea7d8]"Well, I look forward to knowing you all, see you in the lab."[/color]

And with that spoken oath, Yuu pivoted around and began walking with Elm, continuing deeper into the confines of the lab.

This was the beginning of the end. Yuu saw an endless stream of opportunities available for him.

And he knew which one he was going to grasp and take for himself.

[color=7ea7d8][i]"My word is my promise... I'll keep my oaths..."[/i][/color][/center]
