[quote=@Savo] [center][color=7ea7d8][h3]-Yuu Nozomu : Route 29-[/h3][/color] Of course it wasn't long before the purple haired boy followed suit, departing from the lab with the rest of his companions. Rather than take a front in the group, Yuu lingered near the middle to keep tabs on any prying pokemon that neared the bundle of greenhorns. Of course, as he did so, the taller boy removed his backpack, deftly retrieving his Holo-caster from its place before adorning his backpack again. Looking around the area, Yuu lowered the sound on the volume of the device before placing it near his ear. While this route wasn't considered to be too dangerous, one misstep could spell disaster, and something noisy could definitely attract unwarranted attention. As he placed the item by his ear, Yuu kept a close eye on his Eevee who seemed to be curiously following after the purple ball of spikes. Her eyes were wide with excitement, her mouth open as she bit at some of the pieces of grass. Her tail swished as she zagged, playing with each tuft before running to the Nidorans side, attempting to get its attention. It was somewhat futile though, but she kept interacting with the environment. That a elicited a small smile from Yuu as she cooed at Tyrian, his gaze softening as the news began to start. It wasn't at all difficult to keep up a conversation while the news was going on, but his attention was somewhat split between chatting with Cerise, watching Sylvie closely, and listening to Miss Garland. As it began, Yuu visibly winced, one of his eyes shutting in pain whilst his teeth began to grind briefly. The blaring screech of the Hellion was loud enough for a few people around him to hear, but not enough to garner any attention from any pokemon, aside from the few with him. Listening, the boy was somewhat quiet to begin with, raising an eyebrow on the topic of a fresh batch of trainers departing from Professor Elm's Lab. To begin with, that was an item that would surely stir up the masses, and for another matter piqued Yuu's curiosity. How the heck did they catch wind of a group of novices leaving the lab? Frowning, Yuu pondered on the subject at hand, frowning as he kept his ears perked on the subject matter at hand. [color=7ea7d8][i]"I can only imagine how they got that information so quickly out; maybe a person from New Bark Town gave em' the scoop?"[/i][/color] Yuu shrugged as they went onto the topic of destroying the Sprout Tower and erecting a new mall from the ruins. It sounded nice on paper, but it was a historical site that had some relevance. Yuu felt the reasoning was because it was less dangerous? But from what he heard, Sprout Tower had ghost type inhabitants that would be lacking a home if it was demolished... could spell trouble for the people of Violet and possibly the mall itself. He would poke around and say why not make room by cutting down trees, but it would disrupt the ecosystem a tinge; plus it sounded truly hypocritical. But still, in his opinion, he wouldn't even touch the tower... but he couldn't exactly impact the choices or make a difference. Sighing, Yuu continued to chat while listening to the news. Next was the mention of a familiar company Yuu's father worked for. His face lightened up at the fleeting mention of the corporation and their support for figuring out the cause of this unruly circumstance of feral pokemon. That gave some hope for him, especially now that he thought back to Elm as he prattled on about an egg... one of which he had to take Sylvie away from. Poor girl was pouting at the boy for a bit, but understood after some explanation... if she truly understood the relevance. Next came the weather which he doted on from time to time, keeping it in tandem just as preparation, though he did visibly roll his eyes as Sidney raised up the facet that she would make a surprise visit to cheer said viewer up... yeah, right. Afterwards, the program ended and Yuu pocketed the device before speaking about the subjects mentioned on the news, especially the ones involving them all. [color=7ea7d8]"So apparently we're famous now..."[/color] [hr] As Yuu finished up his explanation of Sprout Tower, the complacent group came to a halt at the mention of a hungry Abigail voicing her opinion on them setting up camp for the night. Yuu glanced up at the skys, frowning. The group could easily traverse twenty more minutes before settling down, but Abigail would probably stubbornly enforce her opinion before snobbishly blowing him off. And then came the audible rumbling of her stomach. Of course, she was thinking for herself rather than anyone else. There was no general consensus, but not everyone could be hungry at the same time for the most part. Shrugging, Yuu shaked his head as her stomach continued to growl, growing louder at the moment. Yuu looked up, feeling that it was a better idea to set up at this point, considering that if they didn't shut her gut up, everyone would be endangered because of how alerting it was. Of course, Sylvie came to a full fledged halt after Tyrian cried out and was picked up by Abigail. Sylvie continued to bounce up and down, attempting to get the small purple pokemons attention, but eventually gave up and trotted back towards her ally, to which she nuzzled his leg. This prompted Yuu too look down and give the Eevee a smile as he picked her up. As she soared, Sylvie managed to wiggle her way out and jump onto his shoulder. Chuckling, Yuu accepted that as the way she floated before addressing Abigail. [color=7ea7d8]"Even though she is thinking more or less with her stomach, she does raise valid points with dusk being upon us. I prefer for us not having to deal with an incessant group of pokemon at late."[/color] Yuu tapped his lip with his free arm, squinting at the girl as he frowned. [color=7ea7d8]"Plus if we don't get you fed, that stomach of yours might draw trouble since it's rather noisy; not going to risk another twenty minutes because of that..."[/color] Setting his sizable bag down, Yuu began to remove the parts for his tent from his arsenal, but not before looking up and smiling at Cerise. [color=7ea7d8]"Say, Cerise, you mentioned you needed some assistance going over pokemon right? Once I'm done pitching my tent, I could help you for a spell before searching for some twigs. How does that sound?"[/color] As he spoke, Sylvie began nudging a few rocks towards what Yuu considered the center of the camp. Whether she was playing around or not, it would be helpful for starting a fire pit. Slowly and surely, Yuu began setting up his quarters for the night, whistling a familiar tune from the band Own Tempo. This would be more than enough to hold two people, maximum. Whatever various things people did, they could do it at their own discretion as long as they did their fair share, setting up where they would rest for the night. Even though the dark had not overtook the trainers, Yuu felt a sense of dread as he clicked his tongue, pausing for a few seconds as he glanced at the sky. Sylvie saw this and shivered for a bit, almost as if she understood the thoughts roaming throughout Yuu's head. [color=7ea7d8]"Hum..."[/color][/center] [/quote]
