Even before they left Faduli, the mood of their adventure was set out for all of them. Wyatt would be the one they would prod to try all kinds of different things on their journey. He knew in the first place that the girls had no qualms of dragging him down the road to one gym after the other. Sadly, Arlo had a feeling of why Wyatt acted the way he did, so he was more cautious around him than his friends. Little Lio would be rushing around the whole place, chasing Duskull around, playing with all of their pokemon, and insisting on battling every one she laid eyes on. He'd probably have to pull her off people so she wouldn't hog all the victory for herself. That was just how Lio was though. While everyone sat down for a break, she just kept going. 

As for Haven, he was sure Faduli was beginning to get to her. They were both the oldest of the group, so there was always an underlying mutual respect for one another. There were times where he would sigh and shake his head at her, but really, he never had to bail her out of major trouble like he had with the other two(and even then, their trouble wasn't major either). He found her artistic spirit refreshing. He found her artwork even more refreshing. Haven Dao had more talent in her finger than in his whole body. 

And then, there Arlo was, the brick wall protecting the group from ridicule from the outside world that they would no doubt encounter(granted, they were all a bunch of weirdos). At Haven's question, he pulled out a crinkled up map from his bag, staring intently at the coordinates and names. His violet eyes cascaded across the page, squinting at every route. 

[color=a187be]"The forest may be less treacherous. None of our pokemon know Flash either, so it would be difficult to navigate through a cave."[/color] Besides, from what he heard, most young trainers started out in forests. There were more people there, less dangerous and hostile pokemon, and possibly an even healthier atmosphere. This decision earned a small groan of protest from Lionella.

[color=fff79a]"Oh, come on, Arlo! What's the point of an adventure if you don't take any risks? If all goes wrong, we can just sacrifice Wyatt!"[/color] Lio pointed to the blue-eyed boy while her other hand rested on her hip. Half of her was teasing about it, but she truly did want to go to the cave. She'd never sacrifice Wyatt, but any chance to take a dig at the glass-wearing boy, she would take. With a giggle, Lio stuck her tongue out at the boy, and she looked back up at Arlo who sighed. 

[color=a187be]"We can take the cave another time. We're still very inexperienced as trainers. Injuring ourselves on the first day wouldn't be wise."[/color] Arlo tried to explain. Lio could see that this was the most the boy had talked today, and while she was amused, she was also understanding of his reasoning. He was right. 

[color=fff79a]"Fiiiiine. Well, let's get a move on then! I bet there are lotsa trainers in Ulu Forest, even if it's so early in the morning. I bet I win my first battle."[/color] Lio confidently declared, taking Wyatt and Haven's arms, surging in the Northern direction towards the forest. As if tired of his trainer's constant enthusiasm, Duskull retired back into his pokeball.
