A yawn escaped the young boy's throat as he continued his wait for his friend. Leon knew he could have easily gone to bother Rasca and get her up. He didn't want to wake her up too early, though,worrying she might get annoyed with him. Of course, that led to the problem of how early was too early? He didn't know. Thus, he waited, reading his book outside his house as he was prone to do when he was procrastinating or trying to hold off until he had to go some place. His messy brown hair fell over his eyes, masking the light blue from view.

Truth be told, he was really excited about the prospects for today. He knew Rasca would enjoy it too, which thrilled him even more. The two were let off from school for the moment, having entered their summer break. Thus, they had the opportunity to leave for a while and try their hand at something they both wanted to do. Raise Pokemon. It had taken months of research and preparation, but Leon felt adequately prepared now to do this, even without the help of Pallet Town's Professor Oak.

It wasn't long before he noticed Rasca on her way to him. His face lit up in a smile and he waved to her, shutting his book quickly to stand up. He opened the flap of his red jacket, sticking the book into a pocket on the inside, before heading towards her. “Great, you're finally here,” he said, barely masking his excitement, a rare display for the usually shy and quiet boy. “Did you pack your bag like I asked you to? I think you're gonna enjoy my idea for our new adventure.”
