Ace settled on his right shoulder once more, talons a gentle pressure against his sleeve. His smile widened at the others words, his own failure against the Zigzagoon still fresh in his mind. [color=bc8dbf]"That's rather interesting, a rather rare move to know considering its typing."[/color] He offered when the other was close enough, his gaze locked on the small Pichu curiously. His goal was to take the gyms by storm, and maybe catalog the new Pokémon in this region to gain an understanding of how they varied from his old one. His mother had said something about contests that had seemed interesting, but for now he just wanted to get to Littleroot. The next question drew a soft snort from him, his head ducking a bit as embarrassment settled in his chest. His parents had made him memorize the route until he knew it by heart, coughing slightly he bends to reach for his bag. [color=bc8dbf]"I'm new to Hoenn, my parents and I arrived about a week ago. They made me memorize the route to Littleroot until I could describe it even half asleep."[/color] He says with a shrug though his cheeks are slightly warm, his hands are steady as he pulls out a small bottle of Full Heal. [color=bc8dbf]"Nice to meet you Soren and Dash. My name is Yuu and this is Ace, sorry he almost attacked you, he's fond of battles."[/color] The young male spoke softly, rising to his feet with the bottle held out. He's grown up with Pokémon and watched them grow before they went back to their trainers, as he steps closer he offers out his free hand for Pichu to sniff. [color=bc8dbf]"You can use half of that and still have some for later. Did you want to join us to the lab? It's a straight path there."[/color] He adds quietly, before offering the bottle over instead of doing it himself. Not many Pokémon liked being touched by strangers, you had to earn their trust first. Turning to collect his bag, Ace nips gently at his ear before leaping up from his perch. Settling it over his shudders he watches as Soren sprays the block of ice until it fades away, jeeking his chin to the hill he'd slid down to get to the pound he offers a hand to the other boy. The path is even and clean, the trees ahead parting to show clear open skies. Another hour and they'd be at the small town, with a hum he begins to walk once more.
