Well, that was unexpected. Who would of thought that Jacques would have been a wanted man? Of course, Basil knew all too well what nobles were like; treating Pokemon like fashionable accessories before they are tossed aside. His fists balled up just at the thought though that went away when he was told that Zachery was essentially a champion level trainer.

Basil's face was completely vacant, sort of like an anxious slowbro if they could feel anxiety though it was not because it went completely over his head, but the sinking realization that he was surrounded by Elite Four level trainers and beyond. Imagine being a beginning hiker, full of vim and vigor, and ready to take on the first mountain ahead. It is not the biggest mountain, but it is a first step. Now imagine being that hiker and the bloody mountains that were supposed to be the final stretch were suddenly just there looming over him before he even got to the first one. That was exactly what it felt like to Basil, absolutely small and feeble compared to these absolute monsters. He really had a long way to go. 

With the shock out of the way, he laughed nervously and said, [color=8882be]"Jeez, you guys sure are..."[/color] Basil trailed off as he saw something approach Jacques from behind.[color=8882be]Huh?[/color], was all he said before he realized what was about to happen. 

Basil flinched with wide eyes as he took a step back away from the ghost Pokemon, holding his egg even closer to his chest in fear that they would try to snatch it too though he really had nothing to worry about considering who he was keeping company with, especially with that Gliscor. [color=8882be]"Whoa."[/color] He said in completely awe at the Pokemon, scanning it with his Pokedex. Wait, 'it’s said catching a single light breeze once could carry it around the globe?' That cannot actually be true. Who in the world writes these entries? Do they just write whatever they feel like and everyone just accepts it?

Puzzlement at grossly improbable claims aside, he definitely would not mind adding one to his team should he encounter it. 

His attention was turned to the owner of the two ghost Pokemon who rushed over and scooped up the trouble makers. The owner was a young girl, much younger than him though to his surprise she was acquainted with Jacques as well. Basil looked at Jacques inquisitively and then nodded when told that Amelia too was a trainer that Kalmia scouted for. He smiled kindly at her and said. [color=8882be]"A pleasure to meet you. I just got my starter so I guess I've got some catching up to do."[/color] Somehow it was easier to talk to children than it was with others around his age...although this girl was a more experienced trainer so could he really treat her like a child? Seriously, she would wipe the floor with him in a battle.

And there was Zachery with his sales pitch. Looks like Amelia will be his first ever real customer, since Basil was technically not one considering he got his egg for free. Something told him that this was the only time he would get something free from Zachery; he could feel a hole being burned through his wallet just at the thought of buying any Pokemon from him. A pirate has to get his booty somewhere. 

Basil glanced back at Jacques, who understandably told him to aim small for now, but expects him to keep his word. [color=8882be]"See you when I see you."[/color] That was all he had to say to Jacques before he flew off back to Kalmia's lab. Jacques wasn't the only one who was going to take off as well; Bail brought his attention to Amelia.

[color=8882be]"Sorry to just say hi and bye, but I'm meeting some other beginner trainers at Route 1 and I want to explore the city before then. Feel free to join us later if you want."[/color] He offered, but she probably had other things to do than be around some new trainers. 

Whatever final words were exchanged with the two of them, Basil left to go explore Pureplain. What he wanted to do was to get Cecil and himself some lunch and eat it at the park by the Trainer School. It would be a much needed reprieve from the craziness that filled the day. What could possibly go wrong?
