Ezra looked on as the scene he thought ended continued to play out in front of him. The clumsy redhead was approached by another girl, one that was ahead of them both. Once he realized the road was more active than he thought, he figured he should’ve opened his eyes just a little more. 

The blue-haired girl seemed pretty eager to help the red-haired girl, and just couldn’t help but air out her whole life’s story in the process. Ezra had no problem hearing Fary Nitashi (the name she called herself), but the other girl was fairly soft-spoken in comparison. The exclamation the redhead made earlier was a noticeable difference next to what Ezra could only assume was her natural speaking voice. 

All the while, Fary’s helpful incentive left the boy with a tinge of guilt in the process. She reminded him of his usual attitude, how he would’ve been if he was home or working at his fitness studio. He thought he was being courteous and respectful by keeping his distance. But, what if he wasn’t? Maybe he should’ve acted first? What if she was really hurt? Would he have just stood by and watched? For a flash of a second, some of his darker thoughts broke to the front of his mind. He wondered if coming out to Kanto was a good idea.

He stared into his phone as he tried shaking away the negativity. Brie, on the other hand, found herself overtaken with curiosity. As Ezra slowed down, the Oshawott sped up, jumping down from his duffel bag to get a closer look at the unique Pokémon on display. 

The pink goblin disappeared underneath the redhead’s hat, but the little black beast on Fary’s shoulder was out in full display. Brie got as close as she could to the two girls, practically jumping on Fary’s heels as she waved down her Pokémon.

Ezra perked up in a bit of a panic as he heard Brie’s cries in the distance. Looked like she was trying to introduce herself. [color=#00FFAE]“Wuh-oh.”[/color] He mumbled some before starting in a light trot to close the distance between them.
