As Yuu and Ace battled a wild Wurmple and managed to catch it with ease, Soren clapped proudly in awe of his new companion's accomplishment. He was a bit jealous, but was happy he was there to witness Yuu's first catch in Hoenn. [color=315E8A]"That was amazing, Ace was so fast!"[/color]

Watching Yuu catch Wurmple made the young trainer want to get some new teammates as well. Soren wanted to have a small party of his own once he got to Petalburg City, to be ready for whatever challenge the gym leader brought. He wasn't picky when it came to catching Pokemon, but Soren often went on the feeling of connectedness. Soren followed a feeling of what he could really only describe as fate. If his path and the path of that Pokemon felt connected, he would make the choice in catching them.
