It took him three days to acclimatize to the cold weather, but it was still pretty damn cold, even for him. All the same, there was never a complaint from the young former Guardsman, who was almost always at the front of the pack with a few of the more in shape Earth trainers and the Pokemon trainers who bothered to actually try. The hike so far had reminded him of the hikes he'd gone on with his Young Mens group from his church, and he enjoyed it, until about the five mile mark where people started complaining.

For the most part, he tuned it out, figuring eventually they'd realize that the more complaining they did, the more exhausted they'd get from wasting their breath. And here they were, ten miles in now, and they were not just continuing to complain, but he was almost positive they had gotten louder. "We've been running for hours! We've went about ten miles already right?" A young man complained. "I thought the dumb thing said we'd find that ICE-type by now." Forest opened his mouth to lay into the guy who'd been bitching close to the longest, but Rowan beat him to the punch, explaining how real Pokemon acted versus what they'd all chased down in the games.

Being from a generation that Forest didn't know as well, it took him time to remember the name, and it certainly wasn't what he'd wanted for his first Pokemon, he pulled out one of the balls and tapped the button, expanding it. [color=C10F0F]"No time like the present I guess. Here we go."[/color] Pulling back, the young man flung the ball side armed at the mushroom Pokemon, smacking it on the head before it turned into a beam of red light and got pulled into the ball, which then fell to the snow and began the classic wiggle sequence.
