The fight was finally over, and in the best possible outcome. Not one of his team's Pokemon fainted. It was at this point Martin realized he didn't have the advantage on one single Pokemon in this fight. He got a bit carried away, still it worked out. Nincada was overjoyed at winning, jumping a small distance in the air in celebration. Dawkin was already letting out a small hoot and congratulating both sides on the fight. Martin turned towards Simon, who was dissapointed that it was over despite him still having a Pokemon who could... It probably was for the best to let the fight end before it was a one sided fight. Martin gave a smile and a thumbs up to Simon. [color=00aeef]"I thought you were trying to be the best, Simon. You'll have to do more work if you want to accomplish that. Not a bad idea being a wall in the fight."[/color]

Martin then took a few steps back to talk with the others, [color=00aeef]"That was the perfect way to start a journey. The combos, the action, the teamwork on both sides. It's a shame team battles aren't that common. I'll take that one for what it's worth, though. Alright Nincada, good work out here."[/color] Martin walked over to his Pokemon and patted his head. The hat was a little worn, but that can be replaced. He pulled out his Pokedex to look at it since it gave a notification earlier. 1000 Pokedollars, not bad for a fight. [color=00aeef]"Hey Kalmia, was there anything else we needed to stick around for, or can I just head off? The Infested Woods are calling out for me to find Nincada a new friend."[/color]

It might be a bit rude to want to head out early, but he was ready for this. The woods shouldn't be too much of a problem for someone who hikes often, especially one who came all the way here on foot. He considered calling back Nincada, but the Woods would likely be fine, being overgrown with trees and shade. It sounded like a lot of trainers here wanted to go to the same destination as well. So much for people playing it safe. Route 1 was his backup plan if for some reason he couldn't get through the Infested Woods. Charge forward into the unknown, but always have a back up plan. It took self control to stop Martin from jumping in the air and giving a cheer, he already messed up earlier.
