Dan nodded as his friend explained his plan.

"I guess I feel more comfortable training in the wild." Dan shrugged "It's a lot more open, I like it that way. Guess that's why I spent most of my time out of towns back when I had the Caterpie. I'll find a way to make money." Dan said, He thought he could get money through battles with other trainers in the wild but that was risky, If he lost he'd have to pay the person who beat him and since he didn't even have much on him, he could end up 100% Broke in a battle or two.

"Well then, I'm gonna hurry off. You sure you don't wanna join us Indy?" He said one last time, as he quickly looked over to Margo, and said

"Also, Margo, Don't worry, we'll stay at the base. I wanna beat the Gym before I go up that trail too far. After all, I do need someone to train with and you seem pretty tough!"
