[b][u][color=yellow]Troy[/color][/u][/b]
As the champion of the class tournament, Troy was accosted by a few other students as class ended. It was a bit annoying, being bombarded with random questions, so he chose the one that seemed easiest to answer.
[quote]"How long have you had your Shuckle?"[/quote]
[color=yellow]"Not long. He’s still rather young, but he has the potential to go far."[/color] Troy's face softened from his typical frown to a wistful smile. [color=yellow]"I was honestly kind of worried people wouldn't be interested in training with him. Shuckles tend to have a reputation of being passive and weak. I thought that, if I could show off his potential, he'd have no problem finding partners to train with. For that matter, let me know if any of you want to do some training with Shuckle and me after school."[/color] That being said, it would have to wait. Though it weighed heavily on his mind, it technically isn't his first priority. [color=yellow]"Unfortunately, I have to take care of something, so I won't be able to train with any of you today. See you guys around."[/color] Troy raises his hand briefly as a short wave goodbye while he turns around and leaves, his poker face returning automatically.

As he walked out of the battle facility, he found himself in the sprawling pathways of the PMA campus. He recalled passing by some gardens conveniently located on the edge of campus, where the woods would creep in against the campus' manicured lawns. They seemed to host a variety of wild pokemon within and around. He figured he should pay it a visit, if only to pass the time. It would be a high order to find a worthy companion outside of his father's ranch, but it couldn't hurt to more closely observe the quality of the nearby pokemon if nothing else. His first priority, after all, would be to round out his team a bit to prevent being caught unprepared, and given his standards, starting the hunt early would be ideal. The worst case scenario would be having to commission another breeding project like he did with Shuckle. He wouldn't be opposed to waiting through the process normally, but today's tournament rewards suggests he should aim to be as strong as he can at all times, a dilemma diametrically opposed to his perfectionism. Perhaps he should even catch some temporary pokemon...

Troy stops by the Student Union to pick up a few extra pokeballs before heading towards the gardens.
