[b][color=#15f2fd]INTERACTING WITH:[/COLOR][/b] [color=FEFCFF]Everyone, Kat ([@Bartimaeus]), Flynn ([@Yankee])[/color][/center]

The others started joining them at the entrance one after the other. It seemed that no one really wanted to be late for their Poke Adventure. It almost made him feel like they were all kids again taking the first step that they all missed out on long ago. Dante still wasn't quite sure if he was actually ready to do this, but at this point it seemed way too late to turn back and forget all about this foolish dream. He doubted the others would've let him go back home, especially not Kat. And there was no way he was going to look weak in front of Cho. But all of those very good reasons for moving forward paled in comparison to the worry that he'd let his brother down if he didn't go through with this.

Dante released all of the excess thoughts from his mind. They were a product of his fear and overthinking and he wasn't going to let them drag him down before this journey even started. He let out a deep exhale and smiled before looking around the others. They were all excited and raring to go except for a particular screeching Natu. For some reason he had a feeling it wasn't freaking out from excitement. He decided it would be best to put that potential omen out of his mind.

The re-meet and greet quickly turned into the departure once Kiel arrived. It had been years since he's left town and he was as enthusiastic and quick footed as ever. He didn't even check and make sure everyone actually had been there. Though Dante himself wasn't sure exactly how many were supposed to tag along on their journey. Their group seemed rather big already. While he was busy counting Spirit had snuck away in pursuit of Kiel or rather what rested on his head. The cute and curious ghost caught up to his target and cut the two off by making a sharp turn to appear in front of Kiel's face.

Dante's attention however was turned to a face he never imagined he'd see again. He was suddenly hit by a wave of flashbacks of their greatest misadventures. He almost hadn't recognized Flynn, not with that hair at least. That was definitely new and so was the Oddish that accompanied them. But there was no way Dante would've forgotten his partner in crime. He moved through the crowd to join them and Kat greeting them both with a large grin.

Howler left both Spirit and Dante to their own devices and made his way down Route 29 towards Cherrygrove. He didn't know about Dante and the others, but he had no intention of becoming a rotten egg.
